Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the ABV engine according to the catalog is 170 kg. The ABV engine number is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. The most common complaint on specialized forums is the high fuel consumption. At a certain mileage, there is also a progressive oil consumption. The timing chain lasts approximately 150,000 km, and then an expensive replacement awaits you. The engine also often has minor issues, such as sensor failures and ignition system problems. Oil and coolant leaks are not uncommon here, and they are not easy to fix.
