Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the A15SMS engine
Inexpensive Daewoo and Chevrolet models are often equipped with not very reliable radiators, which usually flow already to 50 km, and this cylinder head cannot withstand serious overheating.
This engine is prone to lubrication leaks and often it oozes out from under the valve cover and falls directly on the timing belt, and when it breaks, in most cases the valve bends.
Unreliable attachments deliver quite a lot of problems to owners, and most often the starter fails in this unit, the thermostat wedges and the water pump flows.
Hydraulic compensators here do not tolerate cheap oil and can knock even up to 50 km, the engine compartment wiring harness is often frayed, and the sensors are not reliable. At high mileage, an oil burner often appears due to wear on the valve stem seals.
The manufacturer claims the resource of the A15SMS engine is 180 km, but it runs up to 000 km.
