The weight of the B308i engine according to the catalog is 190 kg. The engine number B308i is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This engine is particularly plagued by oil leaks, especially from under the valve covers. The main culprits for poor starting are spark plug wells filled with lubricant. Additionally, oil often mixes with the coolant through the heat exchanger. Keep an eye on the condition of the timing belt, as it has little play, and if it breaks, it can bend the valves. Any dent in the engine oil pan usually blocks the low-hanging oil pickup.
