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.
