Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the EGH internal combustion engine
The engines of this line are very reliable, but they are characterized by high fuel consumption.
On units until 2000, there was a problem with breakage of the valve rocker axle supports
After 2002, a plastic intake manifold appeared, which often burst
Aluminum cylinder heads are very afraid of overheating, so antifreeze leaks are not uncommon here.
Closer to 200 km, the timing chain may stretch and oil consumption may appear.
