Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine AVU
This reliable and resourceful engine rarely worries and only at high mileage.
The most famous problem is the oil burner, but the rings lie after 200 km.
A clogged fuel pump or a cracked coil is often to blame for unstable operation.
Update the timing belt every 90 thousand km, as with a broken valve it always bends
Also, the internal combustion engines of this series often crack the exhaust manifold in the region of 3-4 cylinders
