Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the engine B6304S according to the catalog is 175 kg. The engine number B6304S is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. This unit does not have a phase regulator and an electronic throttle, and therefore it is reliable. On the forum, the most commonly discussed issue is oil consumption due to a clogged crankcase ventilation. Also, lubricant leaks often occur, especially from the rear crankshaft seal. Pay close attention to the condition of the timing belt, as its breakage can cause valve damage. Engine mounts, water pump, and fuel pump have a low lifespan.
