Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems C27A

The engines of this family are quite reliable, but consume a lot of fuel.

In addition, there are certain problems with the availability of service and spare parts.

Most of all, owners complain about frequent oil leaks from under the valve covers.

The remaining engine failures are most often associated with an archaic ignition system.

After 200 - 250 thousand kilometers, rings usually lie down and the oil burn begins
