Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of K15B
- It’s a little early to judge the problems of an engine whose production has just begun
- Despite the distributed injection motors of this series do not like bad fuel
- A number of foreign owners complain in the network about oil consumption from the first kilometers
- There were also recorded cases of stretching the timing chain at a mileage of 100 – 150 thousand kilometers
- There are no hydrocompensators, and to adjust the valves it is necessary to remove the camshaft
