Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the EGG internal combustion engine
The narrow oil channels of the engines of this series quickly become slagged
This turns into oil starvation of the motor, wear of the liners, and so on.
Compression drops are also common due to exhaust valve deposits.
Throttle and EGR valve contamination leads to floating idle
Another weak point of the unit are regular leaks of oil and antifreeze.
