Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the AET engine assembly is 180 kg. The engine number AET is located at the junction with the gearbox. It is a very reliable unit and owners often complain only about high fuel consumption. Instead of the temperamental Digifant, there is Simos here and there are no problems with the gas equipment. There are many complaints on the forums about spark loss and other ignition system failures. The cause of engine failures is often a wiring breakage of one of the sensors. Additionally, the timing belt and auxiliary units may come off, but the valves are not bent here.
