Disadvantages of the TU3A engine
- The greatest number of problems are delivered by failures of components of the ignition system;
- The cause of floating engine speeds is usually a dirty throttle and idle speed control glitches;
- Monitor the condition of the belt, it often wears out before the scheduled 90,000 km;
- Do not allow the motor to overheat, the valve stem seals instantly tan in it;
- Every 70 – 90 thousand kilometers, the thermal clearances of the valves here require adjustment.
