Disadvantages of the SEBA engine
Oil scraper rings frequently result in lubricant consumption;
Regularly jamming dampers to alter the intake’s geometry come in second;
Here, the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator malfunction due to poor gasoline;
The timing chain and phase regulator frequently need to be replaced on runs of 200–250 thousand kilometers;
You will have to undergo a costly valve clearance adjustment procedure once every 100,000 kilometers.
