Test Drive UAZ 469/3151 1973 - 2003 SUV

UAZ-31514.

Somehow, at the very beginning of his acquaintance with UAZ, having arrived at the car factory, complained about small vibration arising at certain speeds. Edak and Cardan Lose you can lose it! - They answered, showing that the bolts connecting the shaft with the rear axle screw off the hand. I myself did not climb until that node. What does it mean, from birth there was not tightened? No, they answered me, it's not about the negligence of the collector. This connection needs periodic control. Well, there is an overpack in our garage, work, what is called, not in scrap, will be controlled.
When the car was knocking two and a half years (in the summer of 1996), such a casus happened - suddenly there was a terrible roar from the bottom. At first it seemed that the clutch basket was falling. Fortunately, it happened before the garage gate. It turned out that the cylinder block fell a centering finger - it serves as a guide when installing the clutch crankcase. She did a lot of noise, and harm, fortunately, no, except small calamity on the flywheel. Well, fell and fell. Detail is more technological, in the operation of a special role not playing. (Eh, after all, I woken up: I knew I, who were hung ...).
On the last day of a recent business trip to Izhevsk, the starter began to publish some suspicious sounds in the morning. In the evening I was looking for for stopping the hillock to start with the go. Return had to postpone.
 
As for the starter itself, the destruction of the silhouette detail, which combines the stator and the retractor relay (it happened on the 67th thousand mileage), with all its rarity, it is quite explained: in the casting, it was possible that there were sinks or microcracks, which were raised under the influence of loads at startup Engine. On Saturday Summer Day, the voyage on autoships did not give anything, so I had to buy a starter entirely.
 
But the excursion to the podcast subsoil led to the discoveries of truly depressing. Several bolts that fasten the clutch crankcase to the cylinder block were weakened. The rest ... already absent. We will and half out from the nest of the second guide finger.
 
At the weekend, where to go for spare parts? Of course, the market, good, they are now in every city; Izhevsk is no exception. I gave way to Casansky's civilization (we wrote about one of them), Izhevsky is located outside the city. No here is a special platform, no counters. What to talk about cash registers! In general, the most ordinary, slightly organized brush, located at the famous biathlon shooting range. It works exclusively on Saturdays. Okay, even though it was lucky. The aggregates we need were offered to those sellers who specialize in gases and UAZ. We won't call the proposal abundantly, but the price variation is from 250 to 500 thousand rubles! Guarantees at similar bazaars, you know, are very dubious. But the starter bought by me is still pah-pah-pah! - working.
 
Replacing the starter and tightening everything that delayed, decided to take up analysis.
 
UAZ - a machine known to vibrations and noise.
