Issues of the engine model ZMZ 406:

A. Timing chain tension. It is a big issue. Due to weak tension and guide. Lucky for this engine, chain goes, yet no destroyed valves and piston tops.
B. Overheating of ZMZ-406. A common problem, very often the issue that leads to all other issues. The thermostat sticking and a plugged marginal sized radiator are usually to blame.
C. High oil consumption. Usually the issue is in oil scraper rings and valve seals.
D. Failing ignition coils. On ZMZ-406 this is not uncommon, change and the motor will once again run good.
E. Knocks in the engine. The 406 has weak hydraulic lifters. If you hear a knock? First check the lifters, they go about max 50,000 km.
F. ZMZ 406 stalls. The thing, most often, is in the plug wires, crankshaft sensor or IAC sensor.

If maintained? The engine is capable of 300,000 kilometers…
