Disadvantages of the ED6 engine
Since this motor hasn’t been manufactured in a while, comprehensive failure data hasn’t been gathered;
Owners typically lament excessive oil consumption on specialized forums;
Using a thicker lubricant from an oil burner on low runs usually helps;
Long-term oil waste has clogged the MultiAir channels, and fixing them is expensive;
Oil getting into spark plug wells is a common cause of ignition coil failure.
