Disadvantages of the EER engine
- The most famous problem here is antifreeze leaks from under the pump gasket;
- Due to poor cooling, the internal combustion engine constantly overheats and quickly slagging;
- Clogged oil passages prevent proper engine lubrication and cause it to seize;
- This motor also suffers from soot, especially the throttle and the EGR system;
- The electrics are also not very reliable: sensors and ignition system.
