The repairman counted ten durable family car engines, and Volkswagen can only rank last.

As a mechanic who has been working in the automobile industry for more than 10 years, I have also been exposed to various engines and repaired tens of thousands of cars over the years. I am quite clear about the faults of various engines. Today, I will take stock of 10 small-displacement naturally aspirated engines with better quality in my heart, hoping to provide some reference when you buy used cars.

The first place, I believe you have all heard of it, is the famous Mitsubishi engine, code 4A91. This engine is not only mounted on Mitsubishi cars, but also widely used in Southeast China, Haval, Zotye, BYD, Cheetah, Changan, BAIC and Dongfeng. Large assembly capacity, low failure rate and low noise are the characteristics of this engine, which is also the reason why I ranked it first. I have never overhauled this engine, and I have never met a large area of oil leakage. The disadvantage is that the valve cover is plastic, which is easy to leak oil after a long time.

Second place, Toyota 1ZR1.6 engine, the famous Corolla, is this engine, which is famous for its durability and convenient maintenance. I have repaired the car for so many years, and rarely encountered this engine leaking oil and burning oil.

Third place, Honda L15A7, 1.5 self-priming engine, which is also classic and small in size, single overhead camshaft. This model used in the treasure-preserving magic car used to be an imitation of this machine, but the quality is far from good.

No.4, Nissan HR16, 1.6 self-priming engine. This engine is famous for its fuel saving, durability and silence. Until now, Nissan is still using it. Nissan, Qichen and Fengshen have a large number of assemblies. I have seen this engine run 200,000 kilometers a year, and the valve cover of the casing cylinder head is all aluminum alloy to prevent oil leakage.

Fifth place, general L2B, 1.5 naturally aspirated engine, he is also a magic machine, widely used in Buick Chevrolet and Wuling models, Wuling Hongguang is using this engine, once just listed, if you use this machine, it will not have such a bad reputation.

Sixth place, Hyundai Kia, G4FC, 1.6 self-priming, widely used in various models of Hyundai Kia, K2, K3, all of which are widely used. This engine is much better in quality than his eldest brother 2.0 self-priming, and the 2.0 model with reduced cylinder wall nozzle is easy to crank and burn engine oil.

Seventh place, the 1.5 self-priming engine shared by Mazda and Ford, the specific model is unknown, and both Ma Er and Ma San are used, and the quality is stable, and it has not been repaired much.

Seventh place, Volkswagen EA111, 1.6 engine, this machine has made great contributions to the public, most of its models are used, the carrying capacity is not less than Mitsubishi engine, and the leather is solid and durable. The previous taxis and coaches can prove the Excellence of this machine.

However, there are two small faults in this machine, which is the reason why I ranked him last. The first one is that the sealing ring of the spark plug in the cylinder head is easy to leak oil. This is a design problem. To fix this problem, the sealing ring costs ten yuan, and the man-hour needs more than 600 yuan. Some main parts of the engine need to be removed before it can be replaced.

Another is that the thermostat seat is easy to leak, because it is made of engineering plastic and has been used for a long time. There must be water leakage. This is the reason why he ranks lower. The above engines will hardly have such low-level errors.

No.8, the immortal bird engine of Citroen, TU5JP4.1.6 engine, is used by many cars under Dongfeng. This engine has relatively stable quality, but its fuel consumption is a little high. There is no new technology. The timing belt and plastic valve cover used are prone to oil leakage after a long time. The timing belt has a large number of kilometers and must be replaced, which invisibly increases the cost of car maintenance.

No.10, Volkswagen EA 2111.5 self-priming engine, many people are curious, isn’t this engine excellent? Why is it the last? I admit that this engine is excellent, with large quantity, low fuel consumption and fast dynamic response. Many of them have run for hundreds of thousands of kilometers without major repair.

The reason why I put him last is not that he is of poor quality. It’s that he used a timing belt, which is the same as Citroen. It’s not that it’s not good to use a timing belt, but that it needs maintenance. His previous generation EA 111 is a timing chain, but it doesn’t need maintenance. The improved 211 is a belt, and the cost of car maintenance is much higher than other engines with the same displacement. Even if a car costs 500 yuan, how much will a million cars cost? Another problem is that his water pump, integrated with thermostat, has not been improved, and the engineering plastic used has been broken for a long time.

The above 10 models are the excellent small-displacement engines. You can close your eyes when buying used cars. As long as the former owners maintain them in place, it is generally not a problem to run for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Of course, my point of view is only for reference, and the actual purchase needs to be checked at different levels. After all, one car is in one condition.
