The most reliable modern cars of passenger cars. The most reliable engines of passenger cars. The best small atmospheric engines

Some more than 20 years ago, it was believed that the larger the volume of the engine, the better and better. Over time, everything has changed. . Trend in the auto industry of recent years is a decrease in the volume of engines, while maintaining power, which has become possible due to the use of turbines. It is worth noting that at the same time a decrease in fuel consumption is achieved, which is relevant when worldwide cost of automotive fuel becomes very expensive.

Plus, makes manufacturers of cars. Automotive companies have a different approach to designing, creating and manufacturing engines. , others are ready to raise the car into the air at the expense. Some engines have good economy, others on the contrary.

But, of course, despite the huge variety of automotive engines, there is a small amount of power units that have become very popular in the automotive market over the past 20 years. Most car enthusiasts are known about these engines. Many of us do not even suspect that under the hoods of their cars, these are these legendary motors. We selected for you the most popular ten, which have become popular all over the world.

1) GM LS Series

5) Buick V6 Series 2 3800

For the first time this engine appeared in 1962. For all the production of various modifications and generations by General Motors, 25,000,000 motors were produced by GENERAL MOTORS. The first engine was produced for a special version of the Buick car. The volume of the motor was 3.2 liters, the power of which reached 198 hp.

6) Toyota 2JZ-GTE

One of the most popular Japanese corporation engines, which was made from 1991 to 2002. Initially, the inline six-cylinder motor with a double turbo inflammation was created for Supra RZ (JZA80). Toyota's engineers created this engine as an alternative to the engine.

The engine was used:

Toyota Aristo / JZS147 (Japan only)
Toyota ARISTO V300 300 JZS161 (Japan only)
Toyota Supra RZ / TURBO JZA80

7) ALFA ROMEO V6 24V

Japanese manufacturers have reliable diesel engines. And what is the most reliable diesel engine from all reliable in Japan?

Let's consider the most common modern diesel engines of the Japanese car industry.

What are these diesel engines, what weak and strengths of Japanese diesel engines. They are now dominated mainly in Europe, but quite often began to appear in Russia.

But, unfortunately, they also have problems when their runs are passing for a hundred thousand kilometers of run, and even some of a hundred thousand people.

Care of supplying diesel engines from Japan is due to their capricious attitude to fuel. Their fuel system is quite weak to use our diesel fuel.

Another problem is the presence of spare parts. There are practically no original surplus from reliable manufacturers. Chinese appear, but the quality of them leaves much to be desired and does not correspond to Japanese quality.

From here and their very high price is dictated, much higher than the German surplus. In Europe, many plants producing spare parts of decent quality and prices are significantly lower than the original.

The most reliable diesel engine from Japan

So what is the most reliable diesel engine from Japan? Let's build on the rank of the top 5 of the best diesel engines.

5th place

You can safely put a 2.0 liter subaru engine (subaru) into fifth. Four-cylinder, turbocharged, opposite, 16 valve. COMMON RAIL inlet.

It must be said is the only opposite diesel engine in the world.

Opposite engine, this is when mutual pairs of pistons operate in a horizontal plane. This layout does not require careful balancing balancing.

The weaknesses of this engine, this is a two-mask flywheel, he failed even up to five thousand kilometers of mileage. The cracking of the crankshaft, until 2009, crankshafts and shaft supports were destroyed.

This engine is very interesting in its design, with good characteristics, but the absence of such engines will negotiate its advantage. Therefore, in a Japanese series of diesel engines to take the fifth honorable place.

4th place

On the fourth place we dissiminate the engine Mazda 2.0 MZR-CD. This diesel has become released since 2002, and installed on the car Mazda 6, Mazda 6, MPV. It was the first Mazda Motor with the COMMON Rail system.

Four cylinders, 16 valves. Two versions - 121 hp and 136 hp, both developed the moment of force of 310 nm at 2000 rpm.

In 2005 survived modernization, with an improved injection system and new TNVD. Reduced the degree of compression and adaptation of the motor with a catalyst for emissions of harmful gases. Power has become 143 hp

Two years later, a version with a motor in 140 hp was released, in 2011 this engine disappeared from the line of installed engines for unknown reasons.

This engine calmly looked at 200,000 kilometers, after which it was necessary to change the turbine and two-mask flywheel.

When buying should be carefully studying his story, and it is better to remove the pallet and see the oil bar.

3rd place

Also, the Mazda engine, Mazda 2.2 MZF-CD. The same engine of increased, but increased volume. Engineers tried to eliminate all the shoals of the old two-liter engine.

In addition to the increased volume, the injection system is upgraded, another turbine is installed. On this motor, they put piezo-forming, changed the degree of compression and radically subjected to changes in the particulate filter due to which all the problems of the previous model of the two-liter engine were.

But the global struggle for the ecology, both in Europe and in Japan, adds Gimoroy to all engines and this establishes the system, with the addition of urea to the diesel fuel mixture.

It all reduces exhaust to Euro5, but as always, in Russia it adds problems to everyone without exception to modern diesel engines. It is simply solved with us, the particulate filter is thrown out and the hovering valve of the unlawful exhaust is thrown out.

The rest of the engine is reliable and unpretentious

2nd place

Engine Toyota 2.0 / 2.2 D-4D.

The first two-liter Toyota 2.0 D-4D CD appeared in 2006. Four-cylinder, eight-valve, pig-iron block, belt drive timing, 116 hp The engine was walked with the index "CD".

Complaints on this engine were very rare, they all reduced only to nozzles and to the exhaust gas recycling system. In 2008, he was removed from production, and in return was launched a new one, with a volume of 2.2 liters.

Toyota 2.0 / 2.2 D-4D AD

Already began to make chain, for four cylinder already 16 valves. The block began to make aluminum with cast iron sleeves. The index of this engine has become "AD".

The engine is available as 2.0 liters and 2.2.

The best reviews about such an engine, and good return, and low fuel consumption. But there were also complaints, the main one, it is the oxidation of the aluminum head at the point of touching with the gasket of the GBC, in about 150-200 thousand km. Run.

Replacing the blocking of the block head does not help, only grinding of the GBC and block, and this procedure is possible only with the removal of the engine. And this repair is possible only once, the second grinding of the head and the motor unit will not stand it, the depth will be critical with the possibility of meeting the valves with the head. Therefore, if the motor passed 300-400 thousand kilometers, with one grinding, it is only for replacement. Although this is a very decent resource.

Toyota in 2009 solved this problem, with such malfunctions, they even guarantee the guarantees of the motors on new at their own expense. But the problem is very rare, but it is found. Basically, those who do not lightly light on the strongest version of this engine model 2.2 liters.

Such engines are still manufactured and installed on various car models: RAF4, Avensis, Corolla, Lexus IS and others.

1st place

Diesel Motor Honda 2.2 CDTI. The most reliable small diesel engine. Very productive and very economical diesel engine.

Four-cylinder, 16 valve, with turbocharged performance variable, with a Common Rail injection system, a guilized aluminum block.

The nozzles are used by Bosch, and not capricious and expensive Japanese Denso.

The predecessor of this engine was built back in 2003 with marking 2.2 I-CTDI. He was very successful. Single, dynamic and economical in fuel consumption.

The modern viewed engine of Honda 2.2 CDTI appeared in 2008.

Of course not minimized typical faults, but they were all extremely rare. The cracks of the exhaust manifold, but they arose in the first releases, the Japanese responded and in subsequent issues were not observed.

Sometimes there were faults of the tensioner chain of the gas distribution mechanism. Sometimes the backlash of the turbine shaft appeared prematurely.

All of these faults occurred from excessive constant loads and poor maintenance.

This Honds engine was installed on models Honda Civic, Accord, CR-V and others.

Of course, this engine has a smaller number of failures and breakdowns in relation to all other engine motors of Japanese automakers.

We put five points from five points, we assign the first honorable place to him and wish you to have a similar one in your car.

In the automotive world there are a lot of myths about engines that do not break. These legends are rooted in the confrontation of German, Japanese and American motor-building. But the main thing, these "fairy tales" are not quite a fairy tale. "Insensitive" motors have long been among us.

Gasoline "Fours"

The most common "four" can boast enviable life expectancy. This is especially true to three engines that are rightfully considered legends.

Mitsubishi 4G63.

The 2-liter engine appeared back in 1982. But now its licensed copies are collected at the factories, only not in Japan, but in China.

Initially, the power unit was equipped with only one camshaft, and the cylinder accounted for three valve. This version was called SOHC. Five years later, a new variation with two camshafts appeared. She got a name DOHC.

Various modifications of this engine were raised not only at Mitsubishi, but also to Korean Kia and Huyndai. Now the production of veteran is busy "Chinese" Brilliance.

Toyota 3S-Fe

The 3S-FE engine is considered one of the most reliable and durable. For the power units of the 90s, it was quite ordinary: four cylinders, sixteen valves and a 2-liter volume. The number of "horses" varied from 128 to 140.

This aggregate was equipped with the most popular Toyota models. For example, Camry from 1987 to 1991, Carina from 1987 to 1998, Avensis from 1997 to 2000, RAV4 from 1994 to 2000.

With good and timely maintenance, the motors can easily "run off" 500,000 kilometers without overhaul. And the safety margin will still remain. A distinctive feature of 3S-FE, in addition, is good maintainability.

Honda D-Series

These motors stopped producing smoothly ten years ago. But in twenty-one production, they have proven themselves from the best side.

Different variations of the power unit were about a dozen, with a volume of 1.2 liters to 1.7. The capacity reached "herd" in 131 "horse", and working turns were chosen to the mark of 7,000.

Equipped with these engines Civic, Accord, Stream, HR-V and Akurovskaya Integra.

Before the overhaul motors "lived" 400-500 thousand kilometers. And the thoughtfulness of the aggregate allowed after the "reincarnation" to run back about the same.

Gasoline "Sixters"

Among these engines is also enough heroes-long-liveders. Only a simple listing will take several text pages. Therefore, we will stop at the most popular pair.

1968 is known not only by the XIX Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City and the Loss of the US Air Force in Greenland atomic Bomb, but also the birth of the legendary M30 motor. In different versions, it was produced until 1994.

The engine volume varied from 2.5 to 3.4 liters, power - from 150 to 220 "horses".

The secret of reliability was in the classic engine design: the cast-iron unit, the chain drive of the timing, the 12-valve block head is aluminum. M30 and turbocharged relative - M102B34 with a capacity of 252 "horses".

Equipped with engines M30 cars at once three episodes: fifth, sixth and seventh.

And now in the ads for the sale of BMW you can meet a car with this power unit. And the mileage for 400,000 kilometers without major repairs is the indicator worthy, but not limited. M30 may disappear and all 500,000.

Toyota 1JZ-GE and 2JZ-GE

These Japanese motors were produced at least 17 years, from 1990 to 2007. The first - a volume of 2.5-liters, the second - 3 liters. They had and upgraded modifications under the 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE indices.

In our country, these power units received the greatest distribution in the Far East. After all, it was that the most "Old school" right-order "Japanese" was nevertheless.

Supporting Supra, Chaser, Soarer, Crown and Mark II, as well as the GS300 and Lexus IS 300 brought from America.

The resource of engines from the country of the rising sun is truly huge. There are cars, the engine honestly worked under a million (!) Kilometers before going to the overhaul.

Diesel long-livers

Diesels were originally famous for reliability. Moreover, the first generations of power units operating on the "heavy" fuel, have a more or less simple design, which means a serious margin of strength.

Mercedes-Benz OM602

Stuttgart engines were produced from 1985 to 2002, and no complaints were called. On the contrary, their reliability and durability, regardless of the mileage and operating conditions, spawned a plurality of legends.

In technical terms, they are simply arranged: five cylinders, each of which accounts for two valves, and a row mechanical high-pressure fuel pump from Bosch.

By the way, the power motors did not differ - they were given only 90-130 "horses", depending on the variation.

They were put on the model W124, W201, G-Class, T1 and Sprinter. Caught them and more new W210 model.

With timely maintenance, the engines can easily withstand the mileage under a million kilometers to serious repairs. And if you believe legends, the OM602 is able to score and 2 million.

Ten years - from 1998 to 2008 - these engines were put under the hoods of almost the entire BMW line, ranging from the 3rd series and ending the 7th. Their capacity varied from 201 to 286 "horses". By the way, they came across in English Range Rover.

A distinctive feature M57 was amazing for a diesel engine. Cars equipped with this engine simply broke stereotypes of power units on the "heavy" fuel. For example, model 330d (E46 body) was perceived as a real lighter machine. Therefore, most often it was bought by fans to drive. And high reliability and maintainability only added the advantages of the car ...

If you know about Dieselgate and scandal with heavy fuel engines in Germany, then you are already rubbing your hands waiting for very cheap machines on the Russian market. Diesel cars showed their inability to meet environmental standards and requirements. But in Russia, this indicator is not taken into account so strictly as in Europe and the United States. There, the ecology has become the main means of speculation of politicians and corruption schemes, and we have reality as much more adequately. It's time to think about what kind of diesel engines it is worth considering buying. In manufacturers catalogs are presented dozens of motors with various characteristics, which fully comply with the requirements for the reliability and confidence of movement. Today we will deal with the manufacturer of the most reliable diesel engine with high potential and certain advantages over rivals.

Find the best technical solution is not so easy. Among all modern technologies, even several decent units choose not easy. On the one hand, German diesel engines demonstrate good opportunities. On the other hand, branded French cars on heavy fuel are also not lagging behind technologies, reliability and operational capabilities. The question is not only who the manufacturer, but and when the unit was developed. There are dozens of criteria that should be considered in this aspect. But most of them are purely technical, therefore, for a non-specialist in the field of production or maintenance of cars, such numbers will not say anything. Let's look at some of the most successful engines that actually have the desired characteristics for the purchase. In this case, you can easily choose a decent option without a long comparison.

Volkswagen 2.0 TDI COMMON RAIL 140 horsepower

Talking about German diesel engines for 2 liters is somehow not accepted in modern automotive society. Journalists politely go away from the conversation, the experts are disapprovingly swing their heads. It was this unit that caused all the problems of a diesel character in the United States and Europe. But in the rest of the countries it is happy to buy it today. The machine with an aggregate in the version of 140 holes for use of the following pleasant features for the owner:

140 horses and a very tangible torque with the lowest revolutions give just amazing dynamics and excellent power, which is felt when driving on a car;
fuel consumption on Passat, for example, in the city is held within 7.5 liters per 100 km, and on the track, the consumption of diesel fuel drops to 5 liters per hundred, which is on average confirmed by logbooks;
the elasticity of the work is fine, it is immediately felt that the most famous diesel engineers of the world worked on the engine, and the engine has received his inheritance ability from a huge series;
reliability is proved by millions of buyers around the world, the reviews about the motor 2.0 TDI from Volkswagen are greatly surprised, which contributes to their active sale and to today;
the service is not so expensive, as for other diesel engines of many other concerns, the engine design is not so simple, but it does not require special attention.

These are the main data about the engine with a volume of 2 liters and the potential of 140 horses. There are versions of this unit even at 110 hp, which were installed on Caddy and other cars without significant capacity requirements. But in fact it is the apparatus for 140 hp Demonstrates its preparedness to modern operating conditions. The motor will delight you with its qualities and capabilities of work in all modes.

Renault 2.0 DCI 177 Horses - Super Motor

The new diesel engine Renault is designed for the current generation koleos. At first it was believed that diesel would not supply to Russia, selling it only in Europe. But it turned out that Europeans quickly lose interest in heavy fuel and machines with engines on such a stuff, so Russia received an additional complete set in the crossover line. The engine is distinguished by the following interesting features:

simple 2 liters of volume and very crowning 177 horsepower is well pulling a big crossover, accelerating it up to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds, which is very good in this segment;
torque 380 N * M is available already on 2000 revolutions per minute, thrust is simply great, from the lowest motor works fine and performs all directions of the driver;
fuel consumption in the city by passport - 6.1 liters, on the track you can invest in 5.7 liters per 100 km, which makes a crossover one of the most economical in its class of elite techniques;
reliability is still tested weakly, but today we can say that the motor has passed all possible tests and has become one of the most interesting for experts and buyers of the car;
the engine is supplied complete with a machine gun, there is a four-wheel drive that even takes some fuel and speakers, and this indicates an excellent configuration of the power plant.

The French tried to fame and created a real warrior. Car Koleos with such an aggregate is able to please fuel consumption, quality and conditions of travel, reliability and endurance. The car still remains very demanding on fuel quality and cannot guarantee optimal movement without normal service. But this is a common feature of all modern diesel engines that require decent attention.

Hyundai 2.0D 185 horsepower - Korean soldier

Another diesel unit with huge endurance and amazing characteristics is a new Korean development. Also in the past version, this unit was preparing for sale in the European market. Today, this engine is equipped with Hyundai Tucson new generation. But soon after the release of the car, the injury of diesel engines began, sales on the target market fell. Interestingly, the unit has the following characteristics:

very high quality that allows you to cope with the biggest difficulties on the road, the engine requires only regular maintenance, reliability is proven with reviews;
in the 2.0D unit, Koreans offered as many as 185 horsepower forces of power, and this is a very good figure in a pair with a torque of 400 N * m at small engine speeds;
in the city cycle, the consumption of 8 liters, fuel consumption of up to 5.6 liters decreases on the track, efficiency has become another important advantage for most buyers;
the simplicity of the design becomes another factor of reliability, it should be noted that the service requirements are minimal, and the list of materials is very extensive;
the car with such a motor received good dynamics and very successful characteristics, transport strongly changed its character in comparison with the usual gasoline engine.

The motor with a machine gun is supplied, mechanics for the Russian market are not provided. Engine 2.0d from Korea has already won its database of fans that place a laudatory reviews on the net. Interestingly, the reputation of the Korean motor is still a clean, non-negative opinions of experts and other factors that could make think about the feasibility of purchase. Everything is very positive and encounters to the thoughts about the acquisition of such a car.

PEUGEOT 1.6 HDI 120 hp - Best economy

On a rather inexpensive Peugeot 408 manufacturer sets quite suitable and interesting engines. Transport has the highest quality and simply excellent operational capabilities. Among the engines eats one diesel, but the line of aggregates on heavy fuel can soon expand. Even this one engine pleases the characteristics and can be one of the main sales list. And the reasons for this are as follows:

the engine has only 1.6 liters of volume and 114 of the horsepower power forces, while the unit is quite efficiently rides from 254 N * m torque and elegant tuning from the French;
naturally, there is a turbocharging and all the accompanying elements of the modern engine of European origin, let the volume and small, and the power is mediocre;
consumption in the city will be 6.2 liters per hundred, and on the track this figure will fall to an incredible 4.3 liter, the savings are tangible, it can make this car in the cabin;
reliability, perhaps a little less than in the case of German engines, but in general the unit does not cause problems in operation, so its quality is very high;
there are no maintenance problems, the design is simple and quite understandable for most motorists, there is no doubt that transport will be popular in Russia in the future.

Engine setting is one of the main positive moments at Peugeot. By the way, Peugeot Citroen's motors have also become the object of attention of crazy ecologists in Europe, and this promises a decline in prices for the diesel technique of these brands in Russia. In general, it is worth waiting when cars with diesel units will cost cheaper than gasoline versions. It is at this moment that the time will come for buying.

By the way, we also offer to watch the video overview of the Peugeot 408 car with a diesel unit under the hood:

Let's sum up

Many words are said about the technical advantages and disadvantages of diesel power units. In fact, in total there are advantages and bad parties. Gasoline engines are not happy with the cost, and on a diesel engine you can save about 3000 liters of fuel only for the warranty period of the trip by car. Let the Diesel maintenance costs somewhat larger than when the service for gasoline units, but this does not reduce their financial benefits. In addition, modern diesel engines do not deliver problems in operation. Of course, if you take the experimental diesel SMART, for example, you will feel the difference for the worse sense.

In general, the most reliable diesel engines have long ceased to be the subject of the fear of buyers. In Europe, several years have bought almost only diesel engines and were very satisfied with their quality and reliability. And most inspired precisely economy. Nevertheless, it is worth weighing all over and against the operation of a heavy fuel engine operation in Russia, where winter temperatures sometimes exceed the threshold of freezing even high-quality diesel fuel. You decide whether to experiment with such cars. And if you are already accustomed to the operation of a motor with this type of fuel, it's time to update your fleet. What do you think about buying a car with one of the above motors?

4 cylinders, 8 valves, direct injection - a hardy engine offers some innovative changes in the design. The disadvantages include except for non-economical fuel consumption.

To a typical malfunction for the model, the owners include floating turns when the engine is running. This trouble is eliminated by cleaning and establishing the work of the throttle.

In general, 1.6 MPI "Walks" 500 thousand km Without serious interventions and is not distinguished by congenital defects.

1.4

This engine appeared back in 1991 with VW Golf III. Then it was a cast-iron block with one injection point and power in modest 60 "horses". But the long-life and reliability of this model led to its improvement. Over time, the manufacturer has suggested the 16-valve version instead of an 8-valve, multipoint injection system and even FSI version.

In comparison with the first 1.4, version with 16 valves 1.4 MPI developed 75-101 hp But the version with the chain instead of the timing belt, 1.4 FSI with a capacity of 86 hp, is considered unsuccessful.

1.4 Motor of this generation on Audid A2 was raised; Seat Arosa, Ibiza, Leon, Cordoba, Toledo; Skoda Fabia, Octavia, Rumster; Volkswagen Golf 3, 4, 5, Polo 2, 3, 4, Fox, Loupero. But in modern models of the golf class, such an engine is no longer found.

In general, according to the reviews of the owners, the 1.4 engine is characterized by simplicity of construction and unpretentiousness in operation. Typical Motor Problems include the movement of the cutter gas removal channel at low temperatures, the wear of the steering hydrocompensators and the failure of the Hall sensor. The owner is threatened only in case of deposit CPG - It pulls on the engine overhaul. With the rest you can successfully fight, especially since the repair of this motor is inexpensive - the owners love him so much.

1.4 TSI

Under the general name, 2 generations are hidden EA111 and EA211 And their modifications. Since 2005, 1.4 TSI was installed on the VW Golf GT. A consistent prediment attached to the motor power in 170 "horses". Soon the 140-strong modification of the engine was released, and a little later, the mechanical compressor was removed, leaving only the pipe and "modest" 122 hp

In 2012, EA111 replaces the EA211 series with another design. The proven EA111 can be found in this way in cars until 2012: Audi A1, A3; Seat Ibiza, Alteya, Leon; Skoda Fabia, Octavia, Superb, Yretti; Volkswagen Golf 5, 6, Jetta 3, 4, Polo, Passat B6 and SS, Sharan, Turan, Tiguan.

A good reputation 1.4 TSI provides its cravival, efficiency and excellent dynamics.

As for typical complaints of the owners, it is possible to distinguish the tension of the timing chain and failure of the pistons. The first versions of motors (160 and 170 hp) are the latter, so it is better to consider the deformed versions to purchase 1.4 TSI.

1.2 TSI

Version 1.2 with a direct injection system saw the world in 2009. Such engine acquired Volkswagen Golf 4, Jetta 4, Polo, Caddy, Turan; Skoda Octavia, Fabia, Yetti, Rumster; Seat Altea, Ibiza, Leon, Audi A1 and A3.

The purpose of the designers was to offer a decent alternative to 1.6 MPI, less by volume and with a reduced fuel consumption. 8 block head valves, the presence of a turbine with a return 105 "horses" - the main characteristics of the model. Earlier in the line was 85-strong 1.2 TSI.

In 2012, the timing chain was replaced with a belt.

In general, this engine performed all the tasks set: efficiency with optimal performance - torque 160 and 175 nm in the range of 1500-4000 revolutions.

As for the problems of operation identified by the owners, in the first series is gRM chain drive. In some cases, there is an uneven operation of the engine at idle year, which is solved by flashing the ECU, and the failure of the turbine is more precisely, the system for adjusting its pressure.

On average, 250 thousand km of mileage live without overhaul 1.2 TSI.

1.2

It is found in the smallest cars of the VAG family: Seat Ibiza, Cordoba; Skoda Fabia, Rapid, Rumster; Volkswagen Polo 3, 4, Fox.

Solving engineers to give life to a three-cylinder engine associated with a decrease in production costs. The timing chain, which was obtained by all inline 1.2 6V and 1.2 12V, should have exceeded the belt in terms of operation. But in fact, this decision turned around the problem: the repair of the chain drive was more expensive, and its resource was identical to the belt resource. Over time, the issue with the defect of the chain tensioner, because of which she led to several units, decided.

Another point that causes the discontent of the owners - the positioning of the ultra-high torque of the engine 1.2 does not correspond to reality. The six-dollar version develops only 55 hp, with a 12-valve - more fun: 64 and 70 "horses". Torque reaches only 108 and 112 nm / 3000 revolutions. Hence the restriction of the operation of cars with such an internal hall.

As for fuel consumption, it is 1.2 comparable to gasoline flow 1.4. Only the latter has another cylinder that removes a number of issues on the operation.

Typical gasoline problem 1.2 - the failure of the ignition coils. It is easy to determine the strong vibration, ignition passes and unstable engine operation.

Despite the design shortcomings, VW did not refuse the idea of \u200b\u200ba three-cylinder motor and in 2012 even forced him for Skoda Rapid, having gone 75 hp. and released a modification 1.2 with a direct injection system for polo.
