Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine ECB
The most common internal combustion engine failure is overheating with gasket breakdown and cylinder head warping.
This is due to coolant leaks from cracked pipes or a thermostat
Do not forget to replace the timing belt every 100 km or the valve will bend if it breaks
Also, engine mounts, camshaft and crankshaft oil seals quickly wear out here.
After 200 km of run on these units, oil consumption is common
