Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the CAVA engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The engine number CAVA is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Many engine problems are related to detonation due to the quality of the fuel consumed. From poor gasoline, pistons simply crack and many replace them with forged ones. Intake valves quickly clog up with carbon deposits and compression drops in the cylinders. The timing chain has undergone many modifications, but it rarely lasts more than 100,000 km. The electronic control valve often fails in the turbocharger, as well as its wastegate. The source of coolant leakage is most often found in the area of the intercooler.
