Disadvantages of the PNBA engine
The resource is impacted by the Mondeo’s extremely weak motor, which is frequently overloaded;
Here, parts of the ignition system rapidly fail due to poor fuel;
The valves will bend if the timing belt breaks in the engine, so check its condition more frequently;
Here, the rear crankshaft oil seal and the valve cover are the sources of lubricant leakage.
Phase regulators, a gasoline pump, and nearly all attachments are additional weaknesses.
