Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of AZX
The engine is rare, structurally complex and there are few specialists in its repair
Units of this series are known for high fuel consumption, and over time, lubrication
Numerous sensors and crankcase ventilation cause the most problems.
In second place is the frequent failure of the viscous coupling or V-ribbed belt
The timing chain resource is less than 200 km, and the replacement is carried out only with the removal of the motor
