Disadvantages of the TU3JP engine

  • The engine is structurally simple, it can be repaired in any workshop;
  • Most of the problems are caused by sensor glitches and failures in the ignition system;
  • Engine speed often floats due to dirt on the throttle, idle speed controller and air leakage into the intake;
  • Monitor the condition of the timing belt, because when it breaks, the valves always bend here;
  • There are no hydraulic lifters, so the valve will have to be adjusted every 50,000 km.
