Sometimes squeezed hydrocompensators Out of Warranty. It is possible that the subflink is associated with the quality of the oil used. The subflinking of the hydrocompensators leads to the valve evaporation. To 100 thousand km stretch the chain (symptom of tensile chain - the chain begins to "rattle"). If you do not replace the chain on time, it cuts the "sedative" (since the "sedative" is plastic - it is easy to break), after which the chain cuts the "head" and part of the valve cover. The filler tube of the muffler breaks down (on the welding seam near the collector when running 100-150 thousand km). From bad gasoline inside can melt the neutralizer of exhaust gases.Specialist recommendations:1) Despite the fact that the engine externally looks like "Zhigulavsky", "Zhigulövskoye" can not pour oil in any case - the engine is significantly upgraded. 2) repair the engine only if necessary - once again not climb ("do not interfere with the machine"). Engine repair to trust only specialists. 3) When replacing the chain, only original parts are used (there are fakes). Water pump is enough for 80-90 thousand km. The stream belt is enough for 60 thousand km, after which cracks appear. The support roller and the tensioner roller serve about 120 thousand km (the rollers fail because of bearings, and due to the fact that the plastic erases itself directly from the rollers themselves - the groove from the belt is formed).Cost of replacement chains: Spare parts (chain 535 rubles + Soothing 270 rubles + "Shmak" 300 rubles, work - 1250 rubles. The cost of spare parts in the official retail store for 12/21/2011, the cost of the work is indicated at the price of normo-hour 1500 rubles. |

The gearbox fails when driving down road (there is no transmissions that were installed in a pair with the "Opolevsky" engine 1.8). Until 2009, the vibration of Kardanov often met. Sick Place Distribution - Leather Salves. If the seal is dropped and do not change it on time and not to add oil, then this leads to the failure of the dispensing. Recently (starting from the spring of 2011), German seals are put - they serve better, they are not observed behind them, in principle. Since 2009, Cardanans have been put with a hinge without crosses, With a rigid operation "Sticky" Slotsey Cardanov. Specialist recommendation:1) Even without having to be encouraged to periodically include blockages to avoid corrosion of this mechanism.

Illness (very often occurs) - native internal drives of drives . If you do not replace the case on time, then the lubricant is washed away, and the drive fails, and also very quickly "eaten" corrosion of the slotted shaft, which is located between two hinges, after which, accordingly, it is necessary to change the shaft (often there is no shaft on the services, you have to change Drive assembly). Therefore, it is recommended to carefully follow the covers or replace them. Sick place bridges - leaks. If the gland is dot and it does not change it in time without topping the oil, then this leads to the failure of the bridge gearboxes. Recently (starting from spring 2011), German seals are put - they serve perfectly, they are not observed behind them, in principle. Front suspension: upper silent blocks serve about about 80 thousand km. When driving around the city, when driving down off-road, they fly faster. The suspension is reinforced, compared to fine 4x4, but fails to be a little faster due to the larger mass of the car. Step bearings often loosened - you need to periodically check. In the steering trapezium, the pendulum serve 150-200 thousand km. Specialist recommendation:1) As it should be on, every 30 thousand km (for off-road - 15 thousand km) change the lubricant of the front hubs, as water gets there and the lubricant loses its properties and as a result, if you do not replace the lubricant in time, fail Hub bearings. Attention! The bearings failed are not published inherent to other hums, but simply begin to "eat" the hub, subsequently you have to change the bearing and hub. Also bearings in the hubs cone-adjustable, if they are dragging them, it also "eats" the hub. Therefore, the repair of the hubs should be engaged only by qualified specialists, as it is required to clamp with a certain effort. 2) There are no questions in the semi-axes, but if there is a mileage more than 150 thousand km and if there is a need to remove them, then remove the semi-axis a significant problem, since the bearing, which in the bridge is "koreets". In this case, thermal impact is required to remove the semios. 3) for 50 thousand km check ball. |

Frequently crashes resistor stove resistor: the heater fan begins to work at maximum speed. The cost of replacing the resistor: Spare parts (resistor) - 1150 rubles, work - 1650 rubles. The cost of spare parts in the official retail store on December 21, 2011, the cost of the work is indicated at the price of normo-hour 1500 rubles. |

Opinion of a specialist:In Chevrolet Niva, it is significantly more convenient to produce repairs than in Lada Niva (easier and quickly disassemble and assemble nodes, rapidly breakdowns for fastening boxes, dispensings, it is easier to change the rods, etc.). But very many owners complain that the engine does not have enough power, as the engine is the same, and the weight of the Niva from Chevrolet is more than from the vase. But the body is more resistant to corrosion. |
