Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine G8BA

This is a very reliable, but rare engine, its main problem is the price of spare parts.

The weak point of the motor is the drop in the performance of the oil pump in cold weather.

Because of this, during a cold start, the chain tensioner may not come out and it will jump

You also need to monitor the condition of the catalysts, they do not tolerate bad fuel

On a run of 300 km, the timing chain needs to be replaced and usually with phase shifters
