The weight of the BRT engine according to the catalog is 178 kg. The engine number of the BRT is located at the junction of the block with the gearbox. A known issue of the engine is the rapid wear of the oil pump hexagon. The fuel injectors have a decent lifespan of 200 to 250 thousand km, but the replacement is expensive. Additionally, this diesel engine can consume around 1 liter of oil per thousand km of mileage. The turbine geometry often gets stuck due to contamination, resulting in power loss. Another cause of unstable engine performance is a clogged soot filter.
