Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the FB20X

Like all engines in the series, this one likes to eat up oil from the first kilometers of run.

From the wrong oil, the phase regulators quickly fail here

The cooling system is not famous for its reliability, and the engine is very afraid of overheating

Due to malfunctions in the operation of the electronic throttle, idle speeds often float

Keep the lubrication level at the maximum or you will be pestered by knocks under the hood
