Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the A30XH engine according to the catalog is 185 kg. The engine number A30XH is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This power unit is not encountered frequently and there is little information about its breakdowns. The main problems of this engine are associated with the direct fuel injection system. The valves need to be regularly cleaned from carbon deposits, as well as monitoring the condition of the high-pressure fuel pump. Any contamination of the cooling system significantly increases the risk of engine overheating. If engine overheating occurs frequently, it will soon start consuming oil.
