Engine Overview and Common Failures

The total weight of the FB25B engine assembly is 130 kg. The engine number FB25B is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Unlike the 2.0-liter units, this engine is not known for high oil consumption. There are complaints about oil consumption, but they are relatively few, often caused by ring sticking. The engine is also sensitive to the quality of the oil, as the variable valve timing solenoids start to rattle immediately. There is also a service bulletin for fixing leaks in the camshaft bearings. Additionally, every 100,000 km, you can expect an expensive procedure of valve clearance adjustment.
