Disadvantages of the EYDC engine
When the air conditioner is turned on, the motor power abruptly decreases on the outdated firmware;
The timing belt bends when the valve breaks, and its bypass roller has limited resources;
A gasoline pump and its two filters are a good place to start when looking for causes of traction failures;
The aluminum engine pan needs maintenance because it hangs low and cannot withstand a blow;
The thermal clearances of the valves must be adjusted by you since there are no hydraulic compensators.
