The weight of the S8U engine assembly is 250 kg. The engine number S8U is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. This is a robust diesel engine with a long service life, but it often experiences cylinder head gasket failure when overheated. It is also important to monitor the condition of the timing belt, as its breakage can cause valve bending. The teeth on the crankshaft pulley wear out over time, significantly reducing the lifespan of the belt. The simple and reliable Bosch VE mechanical fuel injection pump regularly develops leaks at the seals. On high mileage vehicles, gasket leaks at the block junction and the rocker cover plate are quite common.
