The weight of the 8A80 engine according to the catalog is 245 kg. The engine prefers only high-quality AI-98 fuel, otherwise the fuel system will malfunction. The intake valves quickly become clogged with carbon deposits and cease to close tightly. After 100,000 km, the catalytic converters disintegrate and their fragments clog the exhaust. Pay close attention to the condition of the timing belt as its failure is fatal for the engine. However, the main problem with this engine is the shortage and very high cost of spare parts.
