Description devices motor G4LC 1.4 liters
In 2014, the 20-liter internal combustion engine of the Kappa family debuted on the second generation of the i1.4 model. This is a typical engine for its time, equipped with multiport fuel injection with an aluminum block, cast iron sleeves, a 16-valve head with hydraulic lifters, a timing chain and Dual CVVT phase shifters on the intake and exhaust camshafts. There is also a plastic intake manifold with a VIS geometry change system.
Engine number G4LC is located in front at the junction with the box
The manufacturer took into account the problematic experience of operating the 1.4-liter G4FA engine of the Gamma series and equipped the G4LC engine with piston cooling oil nozzles, and also modified the exhaust manifold so that catalyst crumbs could not enter the cylinders.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the G4LC engine
The only widely known problem with this power unit is the oil burner. The manufacturer has lightened the design of the motor by 14 kg compared to the G4FA engine, and by 150 km lubricant consumption often appears due to wear of the connecting rod and piston group.
A simple leaf chain is installed here, but due to the low power of the motor, it has a decent resource. However, for active drivers, the chain stretches quickly.
The forums complain about the vibration load of this unit, the noisy operation of the nozzles, the modest resource of the water pump, and periodic leaks of oil and coolant.
The manufacturer declared an engine resource of 180 km, but usually it runs up to 000 km.
