Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the M 97.21 engine according to the catalog is 191 kg. The engine number M97.21 is located at the junction of the block with the oil pan. The most well-known problem of the M97 family of units are cylinder scuffs. These engines also did not avoid mass problems with the intermediate shaft bearing. There are also very high requirements for lubrication here, and often the bearings spin. Usually, at a mileage of 150,000 km, the chain timing mechanism needs to be replaced, which is quite expensive. The weak point of the engine is considered to be its cooling system, particularly the water pump.
