Disadvantages of the SsangYong G16DF engine
A high resource is suggested by distributed injection and minimal forcing;
Due to a thorough overhaul, timing design should no longer be an issue;
curious about the new variable displacement oil pump’s dependability;
The cost of a single thermostat, pump, and oil filter module is very high.
