The weight of the A16XER engine according to the catalog is 115 kg. The engine number A16XER is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most common problems are ignition issues, and the weak point here is the coil module. Leaks of lubrication from the heat exchanger are in second place, usually due to a faulty gasket. The use of non-original oil quickly damages the phase regulators. A strong whistle under the hood is a sign of a broken crankcase ventilation system. Valve clearances should be adjusted every 100,000 km by selecting cups.
