Disadvantages of the M20A-FKS engine
- So far, the bulk of complaints on specialized forums are related to its noisy work.
- Also, this engine did not pass the problem with leaks in the EGR liquid cooler.
- This heat exchanger can burst and then the antifreeze will seep into the combustion chamber.
- On runs over 100,000 km, the EGR valve becomes clogged with deposits and completely wedges.
