Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the F9Q engine according to the catalog is 177 kg. The F9Q engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The rotation of the bearings. The lifespan of this engine depends on the condition of the oil pump, which wears out quickly. Wear occurs between its shaft and housing, causing a decrease in performance. Oil starvation significantly reduces the lifespan of the bearings, up to 60,000 km mileage. Fuel equipment. The Bosch fuel system is very reliable, often only the fuel primer pump breaks down, but at high mileage, the sealing rings of the fuel injection pump wear out and it starts to leak. Your engine may also experience severe performance issues due to clogging of the fuel pressure regulator. Turbocharger. The turbine requires quality and quantity of lubrication, it cannot tolerate oil starvation and a clogged air filter. The electromagnetic control valve often fails. Oil separator. Not only is the oil separator not very effective here, but condensation also accumulates in the intake. In winter, it can freeze, causing the oil to pressurize into the intake and resulting in engine damage. Belt for auxiliary units. It is necessary to check the condition of the belt for auxiliary units as often as possible. If it breaks, it can get caught in the timing belt, causing the marks to shift and requiring major repairs. Other weak points. There are also other problems here: the airflow meter often malfunctions, the EGR valve gets clogged and stuck, the crankshaft position sensor fails, and the wiring corrodes and breaks.
