Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 4G15 engine is 133 kg (including attachments). The engine number is located in the front, at the junction with the gearbox. Throttle wear. A common problem with Orion family engines is throttle plate wear, which manifests as high or fluctuating idle speed. Several organizations sell rebuilt throttle plates for these engines. Oil consumption. Thin oil control rings usually become worn around 100,000 km, resulting in oil consumption. Sometimes decarbonization is enough to eliminate excessive oil consumption, while other times ring replacement is necessary. However, piston wear often occurs around 200,000 km and requires an overhaul. Timing belt failure. The timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 km according to the regulations, but it can break earlier, often resulting in bent valves and cracked pistons. In many cases, a used engine costs much less than an engine rebuild. Other failures. On forums, there are regular complaints about short-lived catalytic converters, weak rear support, unreliable ignition systems, and fouled spark plugs during cold starts. Also, remember to adjust the valves; engines from before 2000 do not have hydraulic lifters.
