Korean production cars have long won the markets of the CIS countries, and as practice shows, the positions are not going to pass. New Kia. Rio, who debuted in the year 110s became cult car far beyond the goal. Talk about innovations that were updated in this sedan can be long, but in a special way I would like to mention it specifications. Therefore, we will not waste time in vain.
New heart, new life
On the car market The model came out with two types of single-row four-cylinder engine GAMMA, whose volumes are 1.4 and 1.6 liters, respectively. The first heart of Kia Rio beats with a capacity of 107 liters. with. and torque -135 n / m. Another, in 1.6 liters, lives at a purity of 123 liters. with. and in 155 n / m of torque. Surprisingly, the fact that compared to the preceding engines Kia Rio , Real engines GAMMA significantly reduced fuel costs and emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere. By improving the average technical indicators. So, a decent replacement of the old alpha engine with a volume of 1.4 liters occurred. Transmission on New Kio Rio is represented by four types of management, two automata and two mechanics:
- 6-ki automatic and mechanical;
- 5-speed mechanical;
- And 4-speed automatic;
All this has significantly affected the dynamic cIA indicators Rio. Thus, a 1.4 liter engine to a hundred is three thousand seconds, developing 168 km / h with such indicators. And his brother Gamma 1.6 on the hundred will be a little faster, for 11.3 seconds. The highest speed It has 178 km / h.
How to achieve such results
Thanks to several constructive featureswhich is distinguished by the new Kia Rio device, the manufacturers were able not only to improve the characteristics of the engine, but also implemented several fundamentally new solutions in the concept of motor-building. Some of them:
- Increased the amount of cooling shirts, which made it possible to reduce T ° of exhaust gases, and this is additional protection;
- Thanks better cooling Candles were increased the ignition advance angle, which significantly saves fuel;
- The axis between the center of the cylinder and the crankshaft is 10 mm, which reduces the friction and increases durability.
But that's not all. The fact is that the device of the engine Kia Rio third generation is fundamentally different from engines that stood in the second generation cars. And to compare them, of course, it is also not correct how to compare a good smartphone and some black and white monoblock. But how nice it is!
Compare features that distinguish Gamma engines from old Alpha alpha
What to say, they were unexpectedly a lot. In principle, this is not surprising, the Chinese have always worked in the right direction. Let's see what they are bought.
- If you pay attention to the location of the collectors, then, unlike the previous engine model, Kia Rio, the Chinese decided that the intake collector with a catalyst should be from behind, between the engine and the engine shield. The intake valve was placed in front and therefore the air at the entrance is colder. And therefore its density is higher, which allows you to submit more fuel into the cylinder and as a result, increase the power;
- Pleased and the absence of ever-demanding service trimming timber. Occurred good replacement, now instead of him in Kia Rio chain drivehidden in a block that is regulated by two hydraulic tensioners;
- If you compare the engine 1.4 ALPHA series with 1.4 GAMMA engine, then the second has changed locations hinged aggregates. The generator, for example, migrated upwards, reduces the risk of infusion. Air conditioner compressor is now in front, and the hydraulic power pump is behind. In principle, the same changes are observed on Gamma 6;
- Intake manifold - plastic, with a small box on an inlet pipe - this is a resonator, it reduces intake ripple and noise level;
- There was a replacement of the mechanism of the drives of all 16 valves - it lost its hydrocompensation, but it only went good. Since no longer need to regulate the gaps between them.
In addition to all this, the mode of operation of the generator was enhanced. During overclocking, the power will decline so as not to force the motor, take it from him, and when braking, on the contrary. To a certain extent, it even acts as the protection of the engine from unnecessary overloads. At the same time using the inertial move of transport to recharging the battery. In addition, the installation of a double thermostat into the cooling system will allow you to quickly warm the motor.
How cares about your motor
Since the repair engine is usually expensive and most often, if it started, endless, then compliance with the pair simple rules We will be removed from you from an unnecessary fuss. The protection of the engine and the concern for it is: high-quality fuel, properly selected oil and antifreeze, and not water. Last need to remember!
About oil
To achieve maximum acceptable performance and protection engine Kia. Rio was appropriate high, choose only the oil that will satisfy the requirements of the ILSAC or API. Should not be used lubricants, whose viscosity coefficient does not have a proper brand of SAE.
In general, Kia in his motors officially floods Hyundai Oil Bank, SK Lubricants, S-Oil Oil Well, and a couple more lubricants. According to the specifics, they, as the twin brothers Ilsakovsky GF-3 / 4/5. Everyone has analogues of the brand 5W-20.
Oil change and filter
Naturally, the first thing to do is merge the old oil, and for this:
- On the oil sliding neck protection (cover), it must be removed;
- Pull the plug hole and drain the oil, but not to the ground, but in some container.
Following the filter replacement:
- Remove the oil filter;
- Explore and clean its installation surface. Check for defects;
- Make sure that new filter identical to the one that is replaced;
- Apply new oil on the laying of a new filter element;
- In place slightly tighten it to the new gasket touched the saddle.
- Tighten until the end.
And finally, the oil change:
- SECRETED COPLE Holes Install with a new gasket;
- Fill fresh engine oil. Do not pour it in terms of the level of F.
According to Manuals Kia Rio 1.4 and 1.6, oil replacement should occur almost every 7,500 km. And despite the fact that they are often written things completely distant from reality, better to happen full replacement Oils, and not to pour it on a little bit. Well, the fact that the oil filter needs to be changed every time the oil changes, it knows, probably, and the usual worker of a hundred.
How to protect the motor from permanent temperature drops
It is bad that Koreans do not live and do not build their cars with us. Probably, therefore, how to protect your cars from overheating and freezing, car owners have to think independently. Maximum -5 ° in Korea and our - 25 ° significantly different.
Of course, in both Kia Rio 1.4 and 1.6 engines, the thermostats have occurred, but, unfortunately, it does not solve problems. From our frosts, even a triple thermostat is not protection. Therefore, it is necessary to warm the car for 15 minutes every morning before it is started.
Looking through various sites and forums on the car theme, stumbled upon one an interesting idea: Medium insulation tool. Simple language - a blanket for the engine. Immediately remembered the old, woolen blankets that were still the grandfather served as the protection against the freezing of their zhuzhiks. But here everything is somewhat solid.
Use such a means of thermal insulation is reasonably for several reason:
- The insulation prevents the freezing of the elements of the engine mechanism GAMMA 4 and 1.6, which makes it possible to start at very low temperatures;
- The referee is a replacement for the need for a car warming.
The latter, by the way, also solves two problems at the same time: it is also saving fuel consumption, that is protectionpersonal wallet, and precious time.
findings
As you can see, there are always its pros and cons, even such good enginesAs Gamma 1.6 and Gamma 1.4, so as well as this replacement was on the market of automotive players, only time will show. Everyone has their own preferences, but I like this machine.
Well no
Cars Kia Rio for russian market Equipped with transversely located four-stroke four-cylinder petrol injector 16-valve DOHC CWT engines with a working volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Appearance Engines in composition power aggregate Shown in the figures below.

Both engines are almost completely the same in design and differ only in the radius of the crankshaft crankshaft (different piston stroke: the engine is 1.4 liters - 74.99 mm, and the engine is 1.6 liters - 85.44 mm) and the block height cylinders. In this regard, all the operations on the repair and maintenance of the engine in this section are described on the example of the engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters. Work on the engine with a working volume of 1.4 liters is completely similar.

Engine operating volume (litter) - one of the most important design parameters (characteristics) engines internal combustion DVS), expressed in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cm3). The operating volume of the engine largely determines its power and other operating parameters. It is equal to the amount of working volumes of all engine cylinders. In turn, the working volume of the cylinder is defined as a product of the cylinder cross-section area for the length of the piston working stroke (from NMT to BMT). By this parameter The long-time motors with a length of the piston code exceeding the diameter of the cylinder are distinguished, and the short-acting piston is less than the diameter of the cylinder; in the diameter of the cylinder of 77.0 mm, general for both engines, the engine with a volume of 1.4 liters is short-proof, and 1.6 L - Long.
Engines - with row vertical location of cylinders, liquid cooling. Engine switchgears are driven by chain.
A distinctive feature of the engine of the car Kia Rio is the presence of an electronic system of changing phases of gas distribution (CWT), dynamically regulating the position of the inlet camshaft. This system allows you to establish the optimal phases of gas distribution for each moment of operation of the engine, resulting in increased power, the best fuel efficiency and less toxicity of exhaust gases.
The gas distribution phase change mechanism, mounted on an intake switchgear, by the electronic engine control unit, turns the shaft to the desired angle in accordance with the engine mode.
The gas distribution phase change mechanism is a hydraulic mechanism connected to the engine lubrication system. Oil from the engine lubrication system enters through the channels in the gas distribution mechanism. Rotor 2 (Fig. Below) turns camshaft By command of the engine control unit.
Mechanism of changing phases of gas distribution: 1 - body of the phase change mechanism; 2 - rotor; 3 - Oil Canal.
To determine the instantaneous position of the camshaft, a camshaft position sensor at the rear of the camshaft is set. The camshaft holder is located on the cassetting of the position sensor ring.
The cylinder head is fixed solenoid valveHydraulically controlled mechanism. Electromagnetic valve, in turn, manages the electronic unit Engine control.
The use of the CWT mechanism provides a smooth change in the angle of installing an inlet camshaft in the position of the early and late opening of the valves 3 of the gas distribution (Fig. Below), the control unit determines the position of the intake camshaft along the signals of the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor and gives the command to change the position shaft.
The process of changing the phase of gas distribution: A - installing an intake camshaft to the position of the early opening of gas distribution valves; B - installation of an intake camshaft in the position of the late opening of gas distribution valves; 1 - distribution shaft; Z - mechanism for changing the phases of gas distribution; 3 - electromagnetic valve of the gas distribution phase control system.
In accordance with this command, a spool 2 (Fig. Below) is moved by an electromagnetic valve, for example, in the direction of a larger opening advance inlet valves. At the same time, the oil supplied under pressure enters through the channel in the housing of the gas distribution mechanism into the CWT mechanism housing and causes a rotation of the camshaft in the desired direction. When the spool is moved in the direction corresponding to the earlier opening of the valves, the channel for later opening them is automatically connected to the drain channel. If the camshaft turned to the desired angle, the spool of the solenoid valve on the control unit command is set to a position in which the oil is maintained under the pressure on both sides of each of the clutch rotor blades. If the distribution unit is required to the side of the later opening of the valves, the regulatory process is carried out with the oil supply in the opposite direction.
Solenoid valve Systems of changing phases of gas distribution: A - cavity connected by the potassium in the cover of the cylinder head with the first working chamber of the hydromeflip of the gas distribution phase change mechanism; B - the cavity connected by the channel in the cylinder head cover with the second working chamber of the mechanism of changing the phases of gas distribution; 1 - electromagnet; 2 - valve spool; 3 - ring duct connected by the channel in the cylinder head cover with the second working chamber of the gas distribution phase change chamber; 4 - Ring Oil Retroxide; 5 - ring duct connected by the channel in the cover of the cylinder head with the first working chamber of the mechanism of changing the phases of gas distribution; 6 - Oil supply hole from the main line; 7 - valve spring; 8 - Oil drain hole.
The CWT system elements (solenoid valve and the dynamic change of the camshaft position) are precisely manufactured nodes, in connection with this, when performing maintenance or repair of a system of changing the phases of gas distribution, only the replacement of the elements of the system assembly is allowed.
The head of the engine cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy over the transverse cylinder purge (intake and outlet channels are located on opposite sides of the head), the saddles and guide valve sleeves are pressed into the head.
The engine cylinder block is a single casting from a special aluminum alloy, forming cylinders, a cooling shirt, an upper part of the crankcase and five crankshaft supports. At the bottom of the block, five beds are made of indigenous bearings. Special tides, flanges and holes for fastening parts, nodes and aggregates, as well as channels of the main oil line are made on the cylinder block.
Crankshaft Rates in indigenous bearings having thin-walled steel liners with antifriction layer. The crankshaft of the engine is recorded from axial movements with two semicircles installed in the dough bed of the middle indigenous bearing.
The flywheel is cast from the cast iron, installed at the rear end of the crankshaft through the installation sleeve and is fixed with six bolts. On the flywheel pressed the gear rim for starting the engine starter. On cars S. automatic box Gears instead of the flywheel install the drive disk of the hydrotransformer.
Pistons are made of aluminum alloy. On the cylindrical surface of the piston head, ring grooves for the oil-circulation and two compression rings are made, the pistons are additionally cooled with oil supplied through the hole in the top head of the connecting rod and sprinkle on the bottom of the piston.
Piston fingers are installed in the piston bosses with a gap and pressed with tension in the top heads of the connecting rods, which are connected by their lower heads with rod crankshaft crankshaft through thin-walled liners, the design of which is similar to the root.
Steel rods, forged, with a core of a foreign cross section.
Combined lubrication system.
A closed crankcase ventilation system is not reported directly with the atmosphere, so simultaneously with the gas suction in the crankcase, there is a vacuum at all modes of engine operation, which increases the reliability of various engine seals and reduces the emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere.
The system consists of two branches, big and small.
When the engine is running on idling And in low load modes, when the vacuum in the intake pipe is large, crankcase gases through the engine crankcase ventilation system, mounted on the cylinder head cover, in the small branch of the system are absorbed by the intake pipe. The valve opens depending on the vacuum in the inlet tube and thus adjusts the flow of crankcase gases.
In the full load modes, when the throttle is open to a large angle, the vacuum in the inlet pipe is reduced, and in the air-powered sleeve increases, crankcase gases through the hose of a large branch, connected to the fitting on the cover of the block head, mainly enter the liner sleeve, and then Through the throttle assembly - into the inlet tube and in the engine cylinders.
Motor cooling system sealed, with expansion BachkomConsists of a cooling shirt made in casting and surrounding cylinders in the block, combustion chambers and gas channels in the cylinder head. Forced cooling fluid circulation provides a centrifugal water pump with a crankshaft drive with a polyclinite belt, simultaneously leading the generator. To maintain normal operating temperature The cooling fluid in the cooling system is set by a thermostat that overlaps big circle Systems with an immentable engine and low cooling fluid temperature.
The engine power system consists of electric fuel pumpinstalled in fuel tank, throttle knot, filter thin cleaning Fuel located in the fuel pump module, fuel pressure regulator, nozzles and fuel pipelines, and also includes an air filter ignition system microprocessor, consists of coils and spark plugs. The ignition coils control the electronic unit (controller) of the engine control system. The ignition system during operation does not require maintenance and adjustment.
Power unit (engine with gearbox, clutch and main Transfer) Mounted on three supports with elastic rubber elements: two upper side (right and left), perceiving the main mass of the power unit, and the rear, compensating torque from the transmission and the load that occur when the vehicle starts from the place, acceleration and braking.

Korean car Kia Rio. There are already four generations. For a 18-year-old period of time, the model managed to fall in love with a huge number of drivers worldwide. High popularity is associated not only with a low cost, pleasant interior, and external appearance, but also the reliability of engines, low fuel consumption and good dynamic characteristics.
List of engines
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!
Like any other machine that produced not one generation, Kia Rio had their own weak spots. We will analyze all the strong and weak sides different engines And we find out the reason for some of them compared to others.

Motor line Kia Rio and X-Line
1 generation
On European roads, the car appeared in 2000 and was represented by a sedan, universal and hatchback. Under the hood of Rio, there were 2 small gasoline engines with a volume of 1.3 and 1.5 liters, with a capacity of 75 and 97 horsepower, respectively. In the period from 2003 to 2005 were produced updated modelsBut they remained former power units.
2 generation
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the second generation was published on the market. Thanks to the efforts of the designer, Schreira's designer, the car was significantly transformed outwardly. Manufacturers could not continue to install low power enginesBecause it would not fit the concept of the car. Therefore, the motor line was updated.
Now the buyer could acquire not only gasoline, but also diesel car. The working volume of cylinders did not change much, but the power of the car was much higher. It was associated with the use of 1.4 L engines G4EE, 1.6 liters G4ED, 1.5 liters CRDI D4FA. The capacity of these power units amounted to 97, 112 and 104 hp 
The car has become much more dynamic, maneuvering. Together with a four-stage automatic transmission and five-speed mechanics, power units showed good characteristics. The torque reached 125, 146 and 235 N * and at 4700, 4500 and 1900 rpm.
3 generation
The huge success of the car contributed to the appearance of the third generation of cars. It happened in April 2011. Then two models of Korean appeared on the market kIA manufacturer Rio I. Kia X-Line with the same 1.4 and 1.6 liter single-row 16-valve gasoline engines G4FA and G4FC, the power of which was 107 and 123 horsepower, respectively.
4 generation
On the 4th generation of 2017, the release of the G4FC engine is used with a capacity of 100 and 123 hp. This is the same 16-valve single-row motor, which was used in the 3rd generation. The choice of the manufacturer in favor of this engine was obvious due to its reliability and high technical indicators.
What motors got the greatest distribution.
In various generations of the Kia Rio and Kia X-Line car, these power units as A3E, A5D, G4EE, G4FA, G4FC, G4LC were used. The G4FC power unit was obtained the greatest distribution, which is installed on Kia Rio and Kia X-Line to today.
Motors 1 generation A3E, A5D volume of 1.3 and 1.5 liters
Car drivers Kia Rio 1 generation characterize the car motor with positive. It has a good dynamics that allowed to keep up with the flow at one time, and sometimes even give odds to other cars of its class.
Real thrust begins when the number of revolutions per minute reaches 2000 revolutions. A small mass of the car adversely affects the dynamics. It shows the best acceleration rates when there are more than 2 people in the car. Fuel consumption is 6 liters on the highway and 8 liters in the city. It must be said that this is not so little for a 1.4 liter engine. 
Weak places of 1 generation motors:
- Sensitivity to fuel quality and oil used. If you end up with the replacement of oil, then the pistons and cylinders are formed by jackets that are difficult to eliminate.
- Frequent occurrence of piston and unreliability of valves, the fault of which can speak uneven compression in the cylinders.
- Education of Zadirov by crankshaft Vale Due to the use of polluted or poor-quality oil.
8 generation engines G4EE, G4ED, CRDI D4FA volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters
G4ee.
G4EE gasoline motor is quite reliable. It was released from 2005 to 2011 and installed on cars of various manufacturers, including Korean. It has low fuel consumption - 6.2 liters in mixed mode.
The most frequent malfunctions of the G4EE engine:
- Warming of the ignition system, which lead to the roasters while driving.
- Fast clogging fuel filterleading to the same consequences.
- Leak oils from under valve cover.
- Increased oil consumption after 100 thousand km, associated with gradual wear of the cylindro-piston group due to the use of low-quality oil or undime replacement Oil.
- Strong vibrations associated with the malfunction of the engine support.
G4ed.
This is the first diesel power unit that was installed on the car Rio line. Motor feature is the use of sleeves as cylinders. This slightly reduces the engine resource. The security forcial has hydrocomathers that perform automatic adjustment of gaps.
Weak engine locations:
- The rapid wear of the elements of the cylinder-piston group after 100 thousand km of run in case of late oil replacement.
- A small prevalence, as a result of which find spare parts is not always easy and cheap.
In general, the engine is quite reliable, but the car is worth buying only those drivers who constantly monitor it and produce timely replacement of technical fluids.
CRDI D4FA.
This motor is equipped with a system COMMON RAIL.. Due to this, it is capable of turning the car faster, without increasing the fuel consumption. The power of the power unit reaches 110 hp. Just like previous model Engine, equipped with hydraulic components.
Main advantages:
- Increased resource.
- Low fuel consumption and oil.
- Low noise.
- Easily start in frost.
There are engines and characteristic disadvantages:
- There are cases of early stretching belt timing.
- Low prevalence, so finding spare parts is not easy.
Engines 3 generations
Despite the good characteristics of motors in the 2nd generation, the manufacturer decided to update the ruler and began to produce Kio Rio with G4FA and G4FC engines.
These engines differ among themselves working volume and, as a result, technical characteristics.
But what differences between them and why did the G4FC be used in the fourth generation?
G4FA.
Manufacturer of these power plants Fixed Chinese company Beijing Hyundai Motor Co. They differ low flow, have a capacity of 109 horsepower. As practice has shown, such a motor has a resource more than 200 thousand kilometers, which is quite good in our time. With timely, the use of high-quality components can be killed by car twice as many. 
home distinctive feature The engine is the use of a timing chain with a tensioner, thanks to which it is not necessary to replace the element throughout its use.
The faults faced by the owners of Rio and Xline in the course of operation:
- Increased noise or knock, which arises due to poorly adjusted valves. Can be fixed in the service center. Such a pseudo faults appeared due to the lack of hydraulic components.
- The leakage of the valve cover due to low quality Gaskets. Can be replaced in the service center or independently.
- Floating turns. In the event of this problem, it should be cleaned throttle valve Or change the firmware.
- The occurrence of vibrations on medium turnover. But they arise due to the features of the engine and do not affect the efficiency of the unit.
- Whistling tensioner roller, which disappears after it is replaced.
Despite such a large number of faults, most of them are quickly eliminated and are insignificant.
G4fs
It must be said that the G4FC and G4FA motors belong to the same GAMMA series and have not many distinctive features.
Unlike G4FA, the G4FC motor has an enlarged piston stroke, and a higher power that appeared due to the larger working volume of the cylinders.
Disadvantages of engines repeat each other. If you compare the G4FA and G4FC motor, then many will prefer the second motor, as well as the manufacturer. After all, with almost the same expenditure, the second unit has big powerSo, it is capable of developing the initial speed faster and has better dynamic characteristics. G4FC power reaches 123-130 hp
4 generation engine
No one has become a huge surprise that the manufacturer preferred to install but the new generation car is an old G4FC motor. Using direct injection GDI gave up to manufacturers in a dozen years, since fuel consumption compared to old engines significantly decreased, the capacity increased.
At the same time, it is also possible to note the decrease in emissions and the actual reliability of the power unit. The manufacturer provides a guarantee for the operation of the engine more than 180 thousand kilometers, but practice has shown that this figure is far from the final.
The unit during operation does not cause big problems to its owner. It is possible to pour not the best 92 gasoline, but still he will give all his strength on the road, providing the best dynamic characteristics.
In service centers, there are convenient location of all major elements that are more often repaired: candles, air filter, intake and exhaust manifold, engine pillows.
Due to the short start of the power unit, there is a smaller amount of suction losses. There is also a lack of a large amount of plastic, as in other modern power units. The most important thing is to perform in a timely manner. maintenance, do not forget to replace the oil in 10 thousand km. Using quality synthetic oil And prefer 95th gasoline.
Inexpensive car Kia. Rio has established itself as a sufficiently reliable model, which is offered to the buyer with various engine options. Speaking about the reliability of the engine Kia Rio, it is necessary to understand that all modern motors are distinguished by constructive complexity and have their own resource, during which the absence of problems and complex breakdowns are supposed.
Correct the resource of the engine Kia Rio
New models Kia Rio completed chinese enginesThe resource of which, depending on the specific modification, is 150-250 thousand kilometers. Such significant discrepancies can be explained by various operating conditions of cars. So, for example, when operating a car in the city of Resource engine Kia. Rio is significantly reduced. In the conditions of dense city traffic, the power unit often works in idle, and the Moto watch is invariably increasing. Whereas during the operation of the car mainly on country tracks, its reliability increases significantly.
The above-mentioned figures are more to new cars. If you purchase a used car, the engine resource at Kia Rio will be significantly less. In this case, it all depends on the conditions of operation, following the previous owner of the requirements for service and so on. When buying it is recommended to carry out deep diagnostics of the motor and automatic transmission, which will allow them to determine their technical condition.
Calculate motor time
Estimated time for overhaul is considered 300 thousand kilometers for six-cylinder engines. Four-cylinder power units that were installed at Kia Rio, the need for overhaul may arise already when run 150-250 thousand kilometers. The smaller the volume of the motor, the stronger it is necessary to unwind the driver during acceleration.
As a result, the resource of the engine is reduced, and breakage can occur slightly earlier than on six-cylinder engines. Kia also produces powerful eight-cylinder engines that have a million kilometers resource. It should be noted that many of their KIA cars install automatic transmission, which have an indicator of 200 thousand kilometers. In most cases, simultaneous overhaul Power unit and automatic transmission.
Is it possible to extend the durability of the power unit
In technical documentation for your car you can find all the necessary data on the resource of the engine at your Kia Rio. It should be said that properly operation Another work of the motor is possible, even with a significant exceeding the resource of this unit. To prolong the durability of the engine, it is necessary not only to comply with the requirements of the car for the car service, but also to eliminate all available, even the minimum breakdowns. Pay due attention to the quality of used motor oil. It should also be used non-quality gasoline Or a diesel fuel capable of increasing the motor, which will require expensive repairs. AT winter time The age of the nerservice interval for changing the oil is recommended to reduce. Also remember that it is not recommended to operate the car at temperatures below minus 20 degrees. In the cold season, the power unit accounts for an increased load, which invariably adversely affects reliability.
Constantly check, and with any problems in the operation of the cooling system and lubrication of the power unit, it is necessary to immediately contact a hundred and eliminate the existing breakdowns. The engine of driving style is affected by the engine resource. If you are accustomed to aggressive ride, and every time you turn off the engine to the red zone when overclocked, it will invariably reduce these indicators and serious breakdowns Motor.
