The dry weight of the M 48.70 engine according to the catalog is 236 kg. The engine number M48.70 is located at the junction of the block with the sump and faces downwards. Scoring in the cylinders occurs less frequently than in the predecessor, but it can still happen. The issue with defective phase regulators on the intake shafts also applies to this engine. Often, coolant pipes and expansion tanks crack and leak. There are many difficulties associated with the direct injection fuel system and the fuel pump in the tank. The turbos, ignition coils, and thermostat of this engine have a relatively low lifespan.
