Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine LF481Q3
This is a reliable motor in design, it is let down by the build quality and components.
The forum complains about weak wiring, sensor failures and always leaking pipes
The timing belt needs to be changed every 60 km, however, if it breaks, the valve does not bend
After 100 thousand kilometers, lubricant consumption usually appears due to the occurrence of rings
There are no hydraulic lifters and valve clearances will have to be adjusted, otherwise they will burn out
