Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the A20DTH engine according to the catalog is 190 kg. The engine number A20DTH is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. Power units manufactured before 2013 often experienced stalling at high speeds. The reason for the stall is oil starvation of the main bearings, but there are various culprits here. Owners are also regularly concerned about the sticking of the intake manifold flaps. Coolant often leaks from the channel into the intake, which is quite dangerous for the engine. Due to the wear of the sealing rings, the heat exchanger usually starts leaking by 50,000 km. Motor speed fluctuations are most often caused by contamination of the fuel pressure regulator. Typical problems with the particulate filter and EGR valve are also present here.
