Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine LF479Q3
This is a very reliable motor in design, but it is let down by the quality of the components.
The main breakdowns are associated with weak wiring and sensors or leaky pipes
The timing belt is replaced every 60 km, and if the valve breaks, it does not bend here
On a run of over 100 km, lubricant consumption is often encountered due to the occurrence of rings
Many ignore the adjustment of the thermal clearance of the valves and they simply burn out
