The weight of the 6A10 engine according to the catalog is 160 kg. The engine number 6A10 is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This engine is inconvenient to service due to the tight layout of the engine compartment. The timing belt can break before the recommended 90,000 km, and replacing it is not easy. Hydrocompensators quickly fail and start knocking when using cheap oil. Poor quality or old antifreeze corrodes the heat exchanger and causes leaks. Keep an eye on the oil level, as the bearings in such units often spin.
