The weight of the X16XEL engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The engine number X16XEL is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main problem lies in the oil control valve stem seals coming off. Oil consumption begins, and the service suggests useless decarbonization in this case. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, its lifespan is 60,000 km, and if a valve breaks, it can cause damage. The reason for fluctuating engine RPM or loss of power is the EGR valve being clogged. Among common issues are also dried-out gaskets under the injectors.
