Disadvantages of the ET3J4 engine
- A generally reliable engine often worries about trifles, especially about electrics;
- Many problems are caused by regular failures of the components of the ignition system;
- Engine speed floats due to a dirty throttle or idle speed controller;
- The timing belt is designed for 80 thousand km, but its rollers may not pass that much;
- Any overheating here leads to suffocation of the valve stem seals and burning oil.
still alive on my old citroen c4, 360k km and 20 years… burns 1litre of oil every 2k km but ok with that.
