Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the B4204S engine according to the catalog is 132 kg. The engine number B4204S is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. This version of the engine without a phase regulator was the simplest and most reliable in the series. On the forum, there are often complaints about excessive oil consumption, which is caused by a clogged crankcase ventilation. The timing belt often lasts less than the recommended 90,000 km, and in case of valve failure, it can cause damage. It is also dangerous if the generator belt breaks, as it usually goes under the timing belt. Hydraulic compensators do not tolerate cheap lubricants and may start making noise before reaching 100,000 km.
