Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the K14C engine assembly is 95 kg. The engine number K14C is located at the front, at the junction with the gearbox. This engine has been in production for over five years and has not had any major issues so far. The presence of direct injection contributes to the formation of carbon deposits on the intake valves. The turbocharger is currently functioning normally, and cases of its rapid failure are rare. There are complaints on forums about timing chain stretching at mileage of 100-150 thousand km. Please monitor the condition of the cooling system as the aluminum engine does not tolerate overheating.
