Characteristics of Volkswagen Sharan.

Opinion about Volkswagen Sharan 2000-2006

Minivans 2000-2006 Production of Volkswagen, Ford, Seat are built on the same base, but have a different design (Sharan, Alhahamba, Galaxy).

In our country, minivans have not gained wide popularity. In view of its value, they were not available to the middle class, but no longer selected businessmen looking for more representative cars. In fact, they thought as an option of a family business class. Europeans have a car, in turn, enjoyed wide popularity. Minivans acquired for both families. Bid a capacity and comfort. Although many did not like the weak dynamics and not too presentable appearance.

Sharan and Gelakski 2000. Steel a sip of fresh air, there were no longer the former minuses of minivans. Modern design, excellent performance, 5 doors look - a great option for a small business and (or) a large family.

The car does not look huge outside, however, it is extremely spacious. There can be either five seats in the cabin, then the trunk will be very spacious, or seven seats, in this case the luggage compartment will slightly decrease. If you leave 2 rows of seats and fold the latter, you can even transport a motorcycle in the car, not to mention other large loads.

Management perfect (for the 2000-2006 minivan), sound insulation at the highest level. The landing is quite high, like a jeep, but the same comfortable, as in the passenger car - a standard!

In fairness, I will note that high-quality Gelix and Sharan find in our country is problematic. So either tune up for long searches, or drive cars from Europe.

Body and chassis

Services of services converge in the opinion that the body is reliable and resistant. I can only agree with this high assessment of specialists. Small troubles can deliver except the castle of 5 doors - the fault of the domestic weather conditions.

Reliable running, our roads are not terrible. The only vulnerable place is the supports of the rear shock absorbers. It is often summarized. However, the replacement is expensive will not cost: 7,500 rubles.

Motor, Transmission

As for the gasoline motor, Volkswagen Sharan comes with a 1.8-liter turbo. It has a good burden on low vol. A small volume ensures the right to the lowest customs duty, and the turbine ensures the desired power. The engine has 150 hp Ford Galesxi has a 2.3-liter motor, a chain drive. It has the same power with a TurboVigid FS, in durability surpasses it. There are also versions with 2 l engines of both brands, but I believe that they lack power. The most powerful engines V 6 from 204 hp, which easily develop a speed of 218 km / h.

The most reliable Ford engines. Potential problems: leakage of valve cover, breakage of ignition coils. Volkswagen motor faults list are somewhat larger. Although it may be explained by the fact that the sharan in our country is more. Thus, Volkswagen motors in a few years of operation are already eating oil: a maximum of 1.5 l / 1000 km. In addition, the throttle is often breaking. Frequently comes out of order air-suckingometer. The most durable experts consider the engine with a volume of 2 liters. The most arrogant - turbo engine. It clogs the tube conducting oil, as a result of which the service life of the turbine is reduced. The new will cost 90,000 rubles. Also, the glands and gaskets can skip, that is, to leak.

And now about diesels. Rather, about 1.9-liter turbine engines. He is very economical. This model eats no more than 8.5 liters per hundred thousand km. Diesel is good in that it retains power in the presence of passengers and large cargo. They are not afraid of our climate. Serious problems usually do not occur. Only the wear of the turbine can hit the pocket: minimum 100 thousand rubles.

There are no complaints to gearboxes. Durable and MCPP, and automatic transmission.

Other malfunctions

Reagents can destroy radiator, core tubes. Repair is not cheap. The cost varies from 20 to 90 thousand rubles, so visit different services, look for the most reasonable price. Also, there are also cases of leakage pumping gur.

Price

For the first batch minimum of 300 thousand rubles

Output

If the size of the wagon is not satisfied with you, pay attention to the Ford Gelix and Volkswagen Sharan. But I warn you, their service is quite expensive. Your accounts will correspond to business class tariffs.
