One of the main qualities of the third “Servant” is a strong construction that can withstand even the toughest operation, as well as a 2-liter engine with the R20A index, which is considered one of the best engines of its time.

The only way to disable this power unit is to use low-quality gasoline and oil. Moreover, even in such cases, it will not be difficult to revive the engine, only by replacing the oxygen sensors and solving problems with a clogged catalyst.

The timing drive of a 2-liter gasoline aspirated chain, capable of nursing more than 150 thousand km. However, the tensioner still has to be changed a little earlier.
