Disadvantages of the GW6Z30 engine
- In the first year of production, the motor had a lot of problems, but most have already been fixed.
- Now the main complaints on the network are related to uneven response to the gas pedal.
- A number of flashes have already been released, but power failures still occur.
- The combined injection system saves the engine from the formation of carbon deposits on the valves.
