Disadvantages of the M20A-FKS engine
Its noisy work has been the main source of complaints on specialized forums thus far.
Additionally, this engine failed to pass the EGR liquid cooler leak test.
Antifreeze may leak into the combustion chamber if this heat exchanger bursts.
The EGR valve gets completely wedged and clogged with deposits on runs longer than 100,000 kilometers.
