Engine Overview and Common Failures
The weight of the BMY engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The BMY engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. This engine does not tolerate low-quality fuel, and the intake valves quickly become clogged with carbon deposits. Due to detonation, pistons often burn out here, and it is better to replace them with forged ones. After 100-150 thousand kilometers of mileage, the piston rings usually wear out, leading to oil consumption. The control valve and wastegate of the turbocharger have low reliability. The timing chain rarely exceeds 100,000 km in service life, sometimes even less. Owners also complain about coolant leaks, mostly around the intercooler area. A unpleasant feature of the unit is periodic vibrations when cold.
