Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the AWC engine assembly is 150 kg. The AWC engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. It is a robust and highly durable engine, but it often suffers from air suction issues. Its intake system consists of multiple hoses, and the cause can be difficult to find. Additionally, there is a complex and not very reliable dual-circuit crankcase ventilation system. The turbine operates smoothly and does not cause any problems, but only when the EGR system is functioning properly. Coolant leaks through the plastic tee of the cooling system are common. The branded hydraulic tensioner, also known as the phase regulator, does not have a particularly long service life. Weak points include ignition coils, fuel pump, and coolant temperature sensor.
