Disadvantages of the SsangYong G20D engine
- This is a reliable and very resourceful power unit, and all its problems are from old age;
- Up to 100,000 km, only pump leaks and failures of the mass air flow sensor and crankshaft position sensor often bother;
- At high mileage, nozzles and the crankcase ventilation system are often clogged;
- Also, failures in the ignition system are regularly encountered and the phase regulator fails;
- Closer to 200,000 km, lubricant consumption appears due to the occurrence of oil scraper rings.
