The weight of the A16XHT engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The engine number A16XHT is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This engine often annoys with excessive noise, whistling, and vibrations during operation. There were several recalls, the first one due to the electrodes of the spark plugs coming off. Frequent cases of piston destruction were recorded, so we recommend replacing them with forged ones. The thermostat, water pump, and fuel injection pump have a short service life. After 100,000 km, the balance shaft chain may stretch, and the replacement is very expensive.
