Test Drive Daewoo Nexia (Kletn) 1995 - NV Sedan

Working horse

History of the model
1996 year. The release of Sedana Daewoo Nexia in Russia and Uzbekistan has begun. Engine gasoline, four-cylinder, 8-valve 1.5 l, 55 kW / 75 liters. with. (G15MF). M5 gearbox, front-wheel drive.
2003. Restyling Models: wide moldings on the body and bumper, chrome plated overlays on the radiator grille and the trunk lid, 14-inch wheels in the standard configuration with a 16-valve engine, new seats. The second engine is 16-valve, two-channel 1.5 l, 66 kW / 90 liters. with. (A15MF).

Believe or not in the resettlement of shower a question has long been decided in the automotive world. That is one, the other outdated model acquires the second life with the same forms, but with a new filling and under a different name. So the Nexia of the replica of the once popular Opel-Cadet of the 1984 sample appeared. This model has become the firstborn Dae and, of course, her luck. Therefore, with the appearance in Europe, Astra Koreans did not part with the cadet, and after a small modernization renamed it to the Reiser, Siele and Nexia. Nexia has truly came to the Russian market in 1997, when a powerful stream of cars from Uzbekistan joined the liquid stream of Korean cars. They collected them in Rostov, but already in 1998 the production turned: Uzbeks defeated the price.
The quality of Korean machines, especially at the beginning, was noticeably above Uzbek (SM, 1997, No. 8, p. 48). Rostov assembly praised, which, however, and the assembly, it is difficult to call almost ready-made cars from Korea. Today's Nexia is slightly embedded (see the model history) and left the only citizenship of Uzbek. Complets are still two GL and GLE. In the first there is no power steering, tachometer, and doors are mechanical windows. GLE provides four power windows, gur, tachometer. The air conditioner is also offered in both configuration, but it is rarely ordered in GL. Bumpers in body color, as well as unscreased, are found in GL, and in GLE, but the hatch is installed only on the service. Safety, ABS and automatic gearboxes, Uzbek machines did not equip.
For seven years, Nexia has become a really folk car in Russia. Used cars direct competitor Zhigulam: Straights of 1999 in good condition offer cheaper than $ 5,000. Choose Nexia not for beautiful eyes: It is not very modern, not too prompt, but it's comfortable and reliable, the Word of the Working Horse.
Distributed monofryd
Until recently, the Russian market was intended for only one-and-a-liter single Motor G15MF Twin Opolevsky. A distributed injection came to change the carburetor, but the peculiar: non-seizures of non-zexia are turned on simultaneously.
At first, these motors produced without a neutralizer and lambda probe. The composition of the mixture is regulated by both old dozen potentiometer located on the right arc beyond the air filter housing. If the unnecessary car accelerates with failure, first of all, check the content of CO in the factory, usually underestimated to the limit, so a small enrichment of the mixture often corrects the behavior of the car. New Nexias with full-fledged feedback, designed for non-determined gasoline, do not need to adjust the control system, except for the installation of the initial ignition advance angle and the fuel type switch about the last slightly below.
After restyling (see the history of the model), part of the Uzbek machines began to set the sixteenthly glovenant A15MF engine (there used to be only on Korean). Compared to G15MF changes a little head, drive timing, ignition system. The latter became more reliable. In an eight-point, a weak point was a switch with a magnetoelectric sensor and the switch was disappeared by the sensor contacts, and the repair helped only for a while. Here the distributor abolished the coil has become a two-way, and the sensor moved to the crankshaft pulley. Otherwise, the control system of both engines works without complaints, especially on machines with mileage: on new, sometimes there is a speed sensor, without passing 10 thousand km (at the same time idle speed). The sensor is changed. If in the incubation period the malfunction will not happen, live long.
A little pursing a sixteenthly gauge, the designers still kept the ugliness a strong side of Nexia. The control system of both engines is done without a detonation sensor, but has a switch of octane gasoline. Rearing the wiring, you can choose any of the four options for fuel with Pts 83, 87, 92 or 95 (according to the research method). So digest Nexia and A-76: its eyes about 82.
But it's not worth saving on the oil: the motor will thank for this for a long time more than 300 thousand km. True, after 200 thousand km, it may be somewhat increasing, the wear of the rings and the guide sleeves of the valves begins to affect. Typically, by the same time it is time to replace the oil-challenge caps. If 100 km takes more than 0.7 liters of oil it's time to repair. In general, nexia is not different with oil appetite, but a single engine has a part of the lubricant from then. The most noticeable location of the valve cover. Do not try to pull her bolts only break the items. The best way to change the gasket. It is not so noticeable to flow from under the crankcase pallet layers, although it is usually stronger. On modern machines instead of a sandwich from the layer of sealant layer, and the oil no longer flows.
The GRM gaps on both engines in adjustment do not need to be supported by hydrocompensators. The belt is changed every 60 thousand km along with the tensioner (the bypass roller also change on A15MF). The opening does not always lead to a set of valves with pistons, but at high speeds of trouble guaranteed. When replacing, accurate tension adjustment is required (for this shift the pump), so without special knowledge it is better not to take. The pump itself does not always live up to the second shift of the belt, so at the slightest flow or defect bearing replace it. Referring to the crowd to the pump with a tangled belt: in this case, it may not stretch 10 thousand km.
In order for the system of nutrition to work correctly, she will have to pay a little attention. Do not forget to change the fuel filter, preferably at each then (10 thousand km). If they did not work for a long time, thread surely zakisl. And damage to nuts and fittings of highways are fraught with no additional costs, especially after attempts to unscrew the key to 17 nuts on 16. With annual runs less than 10 thousand km, protect the thread with anticorros. The same applies to fuel level sensor fasten. Do not unscrew the tank. It is also useful to protect the wiring near the sensor and the fuel pump, it will be suitable for shrinking camphors or durable anticorrosive.
Cooked loop
The Gearbox of the USDEU offers in the only embodiment of the mechanical five-speed. Although there is Nexia and a four-stage MCP, and with a simple three-stage automatic machine, it is better to refrain from exotic how to repair them here? Even the dealers have no experience, nor literature on them, not to mention the spare parts. However, the goodness is not looking for: the fate has established itself from the best side, only 150170 thousand km will have to change the helicopter of the sleeve and drive thrust assembly. Oil in KP is flooded for the entire service life.
Cable clutch drive can be found only on old cars. It has long been replaced by the hydraulics with it, the node surely serves about 200 thousand km. Reliable and drive itself. The cable was often unreliable, drove, he dried up the metal sleeve in the engine shield, respectively, increased and effort on the pedals. To this not happened, it is necessary to maintain the factory laying of his loop, be sure to fix the shell of a clamp on the left wheel arch without this the cable will not save any lubricant.
Outdoor drive hinges serve more than 150 thousand km, the internal can survive the car, if the anthers do not break. Approximately 150 thousand km go and front two-row bearings. The service life of the rear conical depends on loading and adjustment. Many people serve not one hundred thousand kilometers.
But nexian brakes have to do relatively often, especially if the car with the front mechanisms of the old type (new, from Lanos, began to install on all cars after restyling). Typical disease zaking guides. The cardinal solution to the problem to establish nodes from the same Lanos, especially since such a reverse unification on new machines has already been legalized. The rear brakes are also desirable to watch with each, then the dirt comes in them. DEU fluid is recommended relatively often once a year or 20 thousand km.
Caprises steering
The steering rack without problems serves to about 150 thousand km, then how lucky. The coming problem The leakage of the shaft gland (the mechanism from the GUR) seems to be trifle, but the original gland does not supply in spare parts, and the neoriginal installation helps not always: the groove is formed on the shaft. Reika assemble pleasure relatively expensive, so with a small leaks cheaper to pour fluid.
Steering tips used to be spring-loaded, like on the Zhiguli, now the finger is planted in a hinge without a gap, which even extended the service life. But there was another problem tight hinges. Fortunately, the disfect of a knock track gets around almost immediately, so if he did not appear before the next one, you can not worry about the item.
Another source of the steering steering bearing. The craftsmen invented one hundred one way to combat him from the landing socket duct under a couple of new bearings (original 14 mm width) before winding the tape.
The front suspension is kept by a young man: ball supports 100 thousand km, racks of a stabilizer 120150 thousand, the Silent-blocks of the lever by the number of caught pits. By the way, with a strong impact it may not withstand the fastening of the front silent bolt, while the wheel is noticeably leaving back.
Many scolding regular shock absorbers for excessive softness. Indeed, replacing them with gas, it is possible to significantly improve the handling of the machine, but to the detriment of comfort. When installing cups of racks, you need to know how to focus their protrusions for the left and right side, they are sold under one catalog number.
In the rear suspension, the weakest link link: they usually have the last turn and starts to nibble a rubber gasket (so they buy it when repairing it). Those who regularly ship the trunk to the top, we recommend installing more powerful springs from Espero they are great. The replacement of the silent blocks of the beam is required very rarely, and it is better to trust her good service there are many nuances.
We cope without zinc
The nexian body is not zinc, but phosphating is not bad protects them from corrosion. The first points of rust appear on the bottom of the doors and wheeled arches if it is clean, in the near future the loss of the appearance does not threaten the car. Equip the metal will help additional anticorrosive and plastic sneakers.
Castles are afraid of water and dirt here, and in the door it can get through the opening of the frame, so they do not limit the outer lubrication on the eve of the cold. Do not feel at the central castle often refuses him, without even surviving until the end of the warranty. Of course, in this case it is changed for free. If there is no front edge seal of the hood, be sure to install it, it will protect the hood lock.
Salon Nexia is rather quiet, only after several years of operation sometimes begins to open on the go of the glove box. The lock of the lid is unbearable, therefore it is more reliable to replace it. The power windows require a careful relationship and regular care (cleaning and lubrication). But even this does not guarantee the trouble-free service of one guide in the mechanism is clearly not enough. The lift is changed assembly.
Dear coolness
Air conditioning is expensive pleasure not only for the first buyer. The cost of its repair must immediately lay in the estimate. Its radiator (capacitor) is located in front of the engine radiator, all salt and dirt get to him. Help and vibrations of the fan it is fixed directly on the radiator. Without regular cleaning and processing anticorrosion of corrosion foci, the expensive knot can be controversial in two winters.
Wash the radiator is more convenient when the bumper is removed. At the same time, inspect the wiring of sound signals. The first usually discourages the lower. You can protect the wiring from salt by hiding it into the bumper amplifier.
Do not be afraid to shove the sleeves
With all its problems, nonxia is not a bulk car. In addition, its insides are already thoroughly studied not only by mechanics, but also by numerous owners, and there is also literature. If, when buying a used car, carefully inspect all weak points and carry out prevention, this workhorse still stretches in endurance with purebred horses.
