Disadvantages of the Daewoo G15MF engine
This very dependable power unit frequently experiences inadequate maintenance;
Rapid camshaft wear is caused by low-quality oil and its infrequent replacement;
The ignition distributor with a magnetoelectric sensor is the motor’s weak point;
If the 60,000-kilometer timing belt breaks, the valves will only bend at high speeds;
Oil leaks frequently occur from beneath the oil pan and valve cover gasket.
