Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the FB20B engine assembly is 118 kg. The engine number FB20B is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most well-known problem of this unit is oil consumption from the first kilometers. It is necessary to use the recommended oil, otherwise the phase regulators will fail. The engine is very sensitive to overheating, so keep an eye on its cooling system. Floating idle speed is usually caused by glitches in the electronic throttle. Keep the lubrication level at maximum, otherwise the engine will produce irritating noises and knocking sounds.
