Disadvantages of the Renault M5R engine
- Like all direct injection engines, it suffers from carbon deposits on the intake valves.
- The timing chain does not have a long resource, sometimes it needs to be replaced by 150,000 km.
- Usually oil scraper rings lie on the same run and an oil burner appears.
- You also need to be careful when tightening the candles, the cylinder head cracks very easily.
