  • The engine overheats easily, the cylinder head gasket burns out extremely often in it;
  • For the same reason, valve stem seals are tanned here and lubricant consumption appears;
  • After 100,000 km, piston rings lie, which again leads to oil burn;
  • A lot of headaches for owners are thrown by malfunctions in the ignition system.
