Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the 18K4F engine is 108 kg (without attachments). The engine number 18K4F is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The engine is most afraid of overheating, often causing gasket failures and leading to cylinder head damage. The fuel injection system MEMS also causes quite a lot of trouble with its temperamental behavior. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 100,000 km or if it breaks, it can bend valves. There are constant leaks of lubricant from camshaft seals and valve covers. Additionally, a whole range of parts for engines of this series are unreasonably expensive.
