Disadvantages of the ED6 engine
- This motor has not been produced for so long and complete failure statistics have not been collected;
- Most often, owners on specialized forums complain about high oil consumption;
- From oil burner on low runs, the use of a thicker lubricant usually helps;
- With prolonged waste of oil, the MultiAir channels are clogged, and its repair is not cheap;
- Ignition coils often fail due to oil getting into spark plug wells.
