Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the A18XER engine according to the catalog is 120 kg. The engine number A18XER is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The ignition system, especially the module with coils, causes the most problems. Leaks from the oil cooler also often occur, and replacing the gasket usually helps. In this generation of engines, phase regulators have become more reliable, but sometimes they break down. The weak point of the engine is the unreliable crankcase ventilation system. Don't forget about adjusting the valve clearances using the method of selecting measuring cups.
