Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the AAB internal combustion engine
There is no turbine in this diesel engine and even the injection pump is mechanical, that is, there is nothing to break
The most serious problem is head cracking after overheating.
It is necessary to monitor the condition of the timing belt, since its breakage is fatal for the motor
On long runs, the internal combustion engine often consumes oil, up to a liter per 1000 km
Also, there are quite often leaks in the injection pump due to wear of its gaskets.
