Engine Overview and Common Failures

The dry weight of the CBFA engine according to the catalog is 152 kg. The CBFA engine number is located at the junction with the gearbox. The main complaints are related to the short lifespan of the timing chain, sometimes less than 100,000 km. The second most common issue is unstable engine performance due to carbon deposits on the valves. Dirty swirl flaps often serve as the cause of fluctuating RPM. The stock oil separator often fails, leading to increased oil consumption. Weak points of the engine include unreliable ignition coils and catalytic converter.
