Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the FB20X engine without the hybrid part is 120 kg. The engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Like all engines in this series, it tends to consume oil from the first kilometers of mileage. Incorrect oil can quickly damage the phase regulators. The cooling system is not known for its reliability, and the engine is very sensitive to overheating. Due to malfunctions in the electronic throttle, idle speed often fluctuates. Keep the lubrication level at a maximum or you will be bothered by noises under the hood.
