The weight of the Y26SE engine assembly is 198 kg. The engine number Y26SE is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The constantly leaking heat exchanger is a known weakness of this unit. The unreliable crankcase ventilation system also causes a lot of trouble here. After 250,000 km, the oil pump's performance decreases, which is dangerous for the engine. It is important to monitor the cooling system as overheating immediately blows the cylinder head gaskets. The remaining problems are associated with ignition coil failures, lambda sensors, and the camshaft position sensor (CPS).
