What is the tle4g15d engine?
2 Answers
tle4g15d is a 1.5T engine assembled by Jiangxi Hanteng Automobile Company. Engine Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. Engine Function: The automobile engine is the device that provides power for the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It is an energy conversion device that transforms the thermal energy of gasoline (or diesel) into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. Depending on the power source, automobile engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.
I've driven several cars equipped with engines similar to Mitsubishi's 4G15 series, and I know these machines are quite reliable. It's roughly a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with horsepower ranging between 90-110 hp, commonly found in older Mitsubishi Lancer or Colt models, and some people even modify it for racing projects. I think its advantages are easy maintenance and repair, affordable parts, and moderate fuel consumption—around 6-7 liters per 100 km in city driving. However, the downside is its sluggish acceleration at high speeds, and noticeable engine bay noise as it ages. I've encountered minor issues like carbon buildup causing vibrations, but regular throttle cleaning solves that. Overall, these older engines are very durable, suitable for those on a tight budget or beginner car enthusiasts, and can last up to 200,000 km without major problems.
