Engine Kia Rio 1.6 It has 4 cylinders and a 16-valve timing mechanism with a chain drive. Motor power Kia Rio. 1.6 is 123 hp In a constructive plan, the engine in 1591 cm3 differs from its fellow, the engine Kia Rio 1.4 liters is only increased piston running. That is, the crankshaft from motors is different, although pistons, valves, camshafts and other parts are the same.
Force aggregate Gamma 1.6. Litra came to replace the Alpha series engines in 2010. The design of outdated engines was the cast iron unit, a 16-valve mechanism with hydraulic components and a belt in the drive. New Kia Rio Gamma engines have an aluminum block consisting of a block itself and cast for crankshaft, look at the photo below. Hydrokommaders have a new motor Rio no. Valve adjustment is usually carried out after 90,000 kilometers, or if necessary, with an increased noise, from under valve cover. The procedure for adjusting the valves is to replace the pushers that cost between valves and camshafts. The process itself is not easy and not cheap. Chain drive It is very reliable if you monitor the oil level. But the manufacturer recommends replacing, after 180 thousand mileage chain, tensioners and sedatives. This is usually added to the replacement of stars, which is generally not suiced.
When buying Kio Rio with big mileage Engine Take these facts. Extra noise and knocks from under the hood should be seriously alert. After all, you, in case of what, sort out the engine later. Collect motor Kia. Rio exclusively in China at the Beijing Hyundai Motor CO factory .. so carefully choose even new carSo that then did not have to regulate the valve by replacing the pushers.
A large disadvantage of almost completely aluminum engine Kia Rio 1.6 liters is oil consumption. If Zhor began, do not be lazy to check the level and, if necessary, pour oil. Oil starvation For this motor is mortally. Increased noise is usually a sign that the oil level is reduced. You can not ride so long.
If it is felt unstable work Motor, it may be the reason for pulling the chain. To calm the soul, you can watch whether the labels on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft stars. Photo further.
Rio 1.6 engine timing marks 1.6 in the photograph are an upper ground for the first cylinder (NTT). We decided to replace the timing chain themselves, then this image is very useful to you.
A rather good engine capacity of 1.6 liters, which has a G4FC brand is determined not only by the 16-valve mechanism with the upper arrangement of the camshafts (DOHC), but also the presence of a gas distribution phase change system. True, the executive mechanism of the system is only in the intake distributional shaft. Today, more efficient Gamma 1.6 engines have appeared, which have a phase change system on two shafts, plus a direct fuel injection, but these motors for Kia Rio are not supplied to Russia. Further more detailed characteristics of the Rio 1.6 liter engine.
Kia Rio 1.6 engine, fuel consumption, dynamics
- Working volume - 1591 cm3
- Number of cylinders / valves - 4/16
- Cylinder diameter - 77 mm
- Piston stroke - 85.4 mm
- Power hp - 123 at 6,300 revolutions per minute
- Torque - 155 nm at 4,200 revolutions per minute
- Compression ratio - 11
- GRM - chain
- Maximum speed - 190 kilometers per hour (with automatic transmission 185 km / h)
- Acceleration until the first hundred - 10.3 seconds (with automatic transmission 11.2 sec.)
- Fuel consumption in the city - 7.6 liters (with automatic transmission 8.5 liters)
- Fuel consumption B. mixed cycle - 5.9 liters (with automatic transmission 7.2 liters)
- Fuel consumption on the highway - 4.9 liters (with automatic transmission 6.4 liters)
It is worth noting that in the new generation of KIA Rio 2015 with a motor volume 1.6 put only a 6-speed mechanical box Transmissions or 6-range automatic. With a less volumetric power unit, 1.4 liters combines outdated 5-speed mechanics and a 4-range automatic machine. Judging by the numerous reviews of buyers Kia Rio 1.6 real flow Fuel is bigger, especially in urban mode.
Cars Kia Rio Third Generation are equipped with a G4FA engine of new Series Gamma (since 2010, these power units have replaced the Alpha series engines), volume of 1394 cm cubewhich corresponds environmental standards Euro-4. It is produced at the Chinese plant "Beijing Hyundai Motor CO".
In addition to Kia Rio-3, this engine is also installed on Kia Ceed, Hyundai "Solaris" (or "Accent"), Hyundai i20, Hyundai i30.
Engine specifications G4FA
- The G4FA engine has 4 cylinders, in each of them 4 valves.
- Maximum power is achieved at 6300 rpm and amounts to 107-109 horse powers.
- The engine uses the timing chain with tensioners (throughout the guaranteed motor industry in 180 thousand km, the circuit does not require maintenance).
- The manufacturer recommends using fuel - AI-92, and engine oil with viscosity parameters - 5W-30 (see "").
- The interval of the engine is 15 thousand km (see "").
7 Main deficiencies and malfunctions of the G4FA engine
- The occurrence of the knock in the engine (the most frequent problem).
If he passes after the engine warming up, then, in 90% of cases, it is the cause of the timing chain (it is not worth worrying, this is the norm).
If it does not disappear at the engine operating temperature, then most likely the reason is the unregulated valve. - Drying, Codes, Clicks, and Type Soundswhich are heard when the engine is running.
They should not be afraid of these sounds - fuel injectors work. - The occurrence of uneven engine operation ("Floating" turns).
Solved cleaning throttle valve. When it does not help, you should try fresh "firmware." - Vibrations that appear at idle.
They may occur with a contaminated throttle or ignition candles (see "How to replace the Caia Rio-3 Ignition Candles"). If after washing the throttle or replacement of candles, vibrations do not disappear, pay attention to the engine supports. - Vibration when rotating the crankshaft at a frequency of about 3000 rpm.
According to official dealers - The cause of vibration is the emergence of resonance between aggregates and car nodes due to constructive features. In order for the engine to come out of the resonance, it is recommended to drastically press the accelerator pedal and release it. - Whistle under the hood.
The reason is the weak tension of the generator belt. After replacing the tensioner roller, the leaf disappears. - The appearance of oil leaks from under the valve cover.
It is treated with a simple replacement of the gasket.
It should also be noted that due to the lack of hydrocomatters in the engine, every 95 thousand km is required to replace the pushers and adjustment of valve gaps. Despite the high cost of the procedure, it is necessary to do it, because Subsequently, this can lead to significant problems in the engine: "Troje", noise, progress, etc.
The most depressing that the listed faults can appear at the very beginning of the car operation. therefore bUY Used Kia Rio-3 with such an engine should be very careful, and if you take a car with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km, you can buy "firewood".
Attention! G4FA engine cylinder head repair is not subject to repair, because The boring under the repair size is not provided by the manufacturer.
How? You have not read yet? Well, it's in vain ...
We will be grateful for the pressed social buttons!
Kia cars occupy the first positions in the sales ratings of budget models. One of the most popular cars called Rio uses stable demand for more than one year. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is reliable engines. Many buyers choose a 1.6-liter power unit, which we decided to devote new article. Today you will learn the resource of this engine, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the recommendations of specialists to extend the service life of the aggregate.
Advantages and disadvantages of the engine
The most famous advantages You can call:
- Good performance indicators. The average fuel consumption of 1.6-liter Kia Rio is about 6-7 liters in a mixed cycle. It is not in the "pensioner", but also not in racing mode. This result was achieved high quality Assembly, as well as the designed parameters of the engine ECU.
- Gorgeous power. Note that on this indicator Rio takes one of the first lines in its segment. Thanks to this, the car is very dynamic, with overtakers copes simply perfectly. According to official data, overclocking up to 100 km / h lasts only 10.3 seconds.
- High elasticity. The developers were able to best distribute the characteristics between the engine and the gearbox. As a result, a pleasant sense of confidence appears in various situations on the road.
Disadvantages Engine 1.6 steel:
- Low maintainability. Certain engine nodes cannot be replaced separately (you have to change assembly). Although the repair process itself is significantly facilitated, the disadvantage is the high cost of such procedures. However, it can be said almost about all modern budget cars.
- Engine sizes. Podcast space is significantly limited, therefore difficulties with access to various components of the engine and its hinged equipment. You have to disassemble some details along the way.
- Aluminum GBC. In the event of overheating of the engine, the degree of compression can significantly deteriorate, as well as compression. At the same time, the motors with such a GBC are considered more powerful (the difference is 20-30%, compared with the engine with the cast-iron head of the cylinder block).
Features and Real Engine Resource
One of the very significant advantages this motor It is its reliability and long service life. Since many cars with this aggregate are already more than 5 years old, there are copies with real runsexceeding the mark of 300 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the motors work perfectly and do not cause any complaints.
The manufacturer declares that the resource of the Kia Rio 1.6 engine is 200,000 kilometers. But the practice has shown that even with not the most accurate and timely maintenance, this unit can serve at least twice as much.
How to extend the resource?
Of course, no matter how high power aggregateEach motorist would like to avoid his breakdown and maximize the service life of the engine. We will consider the basic recommendations:
- High-quality fuel. Do not save and refuel on proven gas stations. famous brands. Do not use fuel with a low octane number.
- Timely oil change. The quality of the engine lubricant directly affects its resource. Use only those oils that the manufacturer recommends.
- Slow ride mode. It is not recommended to constantly put pressure on gas, it is better to ride in medium turnover.
These simple advice You will help you significantly increase the resource of the Kia Rio engine.
Let's sum up
IN real conditions The engine under consideration has proven itself as a very reliable unit. This is one of better options Of those available on the market in this price range. Many Kia Rio car owners advise to buy a car with a 1.6 liter engine.
Very often I have to read questions - "Tell about motors Hyundai. Solaris and Kia Rio, reliable they or not, how much are (resource), what problems are, pros and cons and so on. " After all, these Korean cars are one of the best-selling and very big interest. For a long time I did not write this video (I thought everything was said before me in hundreds of videos and articles), but readers want my opinion, so today I decided to write. As usual will be the video version at the end ...
It is worth noting that these power units are standing on most of others. korean cars class above, such as Kia Ceed and Cerato, as well as Hyundai Elantra., I30 and Creta. They are also common in Russia, and therefore the information will be interesting and their owners.
For impatients I want to say one thing - these engines are reliable as a hammer, there are no more frequent problems with them - no. You can safely take.
But for those who want to learn more about the motors of these Korean units, read on.
What motors put?
Let's start with old cars (2010 - 2016 releases), there are only two power units, generations. Gamma 1,4 liters (107l.s.) and 1.6 liters (123 hp)
At the moment (since 2017), that on Solaris, that two engine options are installed on Rio - these are the so-called Kappa (volume of 1.4 liters - 100 hp) and Gammaii (1.6 liters - 123 hp) .
The Kappa generation began to be installed on the "poor" versions of the new generation of cars only in 2017, in high grades there is a changed engine Gammaii (unlaspped name)
EngineGamma (G4.Fa I.G4.Fc)
Perhaps, I will start with the description of these engines, as well as with the characteristics of the structure (the analysis will be very detailed, so stock tea):
Where they produce: The plant is in China (Beijing Hyundai Motor Co). Often to this country is a very biased attitude that "mole" is all poor quality and so on. However, it is not worth confused by the underground and factory production (this is a huge difference). And so on the passage of the iPhone, too, in the subway.
Fuel supply system recommended gasoline and compression ratio : Injector, distributed injection (MPI). I think this is a plus, because this system is very simple, nozzles do not have contact with combustion chambers (like direct injection GDI), here they are built into intake manifold. They have a cost of cheaper, the pressure below (there is no analogue of the TNVD), and you can clean them yourself. In general, I advise you to read, everything is simple in her fingers. Gasoline can be poured, works perfectly on it (this is another plus). - 10.5.
Engine block : I will not attempt for a long time now - yes he is aluminum with thin-walled dry sleeves from the cast iron (they are inserted at the time of production). As many "shouting" (in various forums) that the power unit is disposable and that "MOL" rode 180,000 km and all throw out (a little later). However, as practice shows, these motors are perfectly repaired. There are a bunch of rollers on the Internet, where these old worn sleeves are thrown out and new ones are put on their place (and further piston and so on). So Russian masters can a lot - this is a fact!
Cylinders, pistons, crankshaft: 4 pieces in a row, pistons Lightweight oiling and compression rings of normal sizes (although they could be thicker). Crankshaft And his liners do not cause any complaints, go for a very long time (this node is not a problemal link)
GRM system : On the engine Solaris - Rio, two installed distributive shaft, 4 valves per cylinder (that is, 16 valves). - No, only pushers are installed. It is worth, with a hydraulic "tensioner" chain. There is one, standing on the inlet shaft.
: Intake - plastic, with the inlet geometry change system (VIS). Graduation - stainless steel. In essence, everything is very simple.
Butter: It is allowed to replace every 15,000 km, recommended synthetic 5W30, 5W40. The volume is about 3.3 liters. Working temperature - 90 degrees Celsius
Resource declared by the manufacturer : about 200,000 km.
Differences of motors 1.4 and 1.6 liters : Weak version wears abbreviation G4. Fa (1.4l-107) , the older version is known as G4. Fc (1.6l-123) . The engines are practically identical, the difference is only that the more powerful version of the piston move is 85.4mm, and in a weak 75mm (various crankshaft). Thus, "1.6" just sucks a larger amount of fuel - everything else without change (it will be very detailed in the video version).
DifferenceGamma I.Gammaii (G4FG)
As I have already written above, the generation of GAMMA engines was raised not only on Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio, but also on Ceed, Cerato, Elantra, I30 and say Creta. That's just if there was a 123 hp on Solaris (Rio), then let's say on various "sits", "Elantrah" and other C-grade was 128-130 hp. Why is that?
Everything is simple:
There is a distinction for both Gamma and Gammaii, motors:
Gamma. - these are power units with one phase displayer on the inlet, 1,4 liter volumes (code designation G4FA.) and 1.6 liters ( G4FC.).
Gammaii. - Until 2016, they were installed only on Ceed, I30, Cerato, Elantra, etc. (Swim power from 128 to 130 hp). Since 2017, it is also installed on Solaris, Rio and Creta (the power is artificially understated until 123l.s.). The only difference is that there are two phase masters on both shafts, the volume is 1.6 liters (code designation G4FG.). Otherwise, the design is identical
In the dry residue - since 2017, the motors on solaris and Rio became other (both on Elantra, Sids and others), both 1.4 and 1.6 liters. Let not be critical, but they differ.
Pros, cons and resource
In probably, from the resource - it will be the first plus . The manufacturer gives about 200,000 km, but now there are cars since 2010, which have already passed 500 - 600,000 km and you know, the motors work, despite anything (no matter how they scold them).
Really aggregates are fragile And often it is often not at the best 92 gasoline. It is worth noting a convenient location, you can only get there and easily replace (candles, air filter), intake and exhaust manifold, engine cushion. Short inlet, and this is not unavailable (than it is shorter, the less pumping losses for suction). There is also no such large amount of plastic as now in many modern motors. The main thing is to serve on time (yet I recommend changing the oil once every 10,000 km), pour high-quality synthetics (still there is a phasemator and chain tensioner), well, and pour 95 gasoline.
In minuses (Although it is not cons, but my recommendations). Noisy work fuel injectors - Not fatal, but the fact (it seems not the rigging chain). There are no hydrocompensators (there are ordinary pushers) they need to be changed (by selecting new height) approximately every 100,000 km. Chain mechanism, and the timing chain itself is also desirable to replace up to 150,000 km. Sometimes there are (he simply can crumble), the baby falls into the cylinders and can very quickly kill the motor. The problem is not mass, but it happens how dealers are assured from embossed fuel, so refuel on normal refueling
If you summarize the Motor G4FA or G4FC, G4FG - then they really have a large resource now. As one motorist told me - "Reliable as a hammer and that not all the Japanese do so now." That is why they are so loved by many taxi.
EngineKappa 1.4.MPI (G4LC)
How I think this is a continuation motors Gamma.However, Kappa has their own chips. Code name G4. LC . Before installing on Solaris and Rio, this engine was installed on Hyundai i30 and Kia Ceed.
Power : The very first thing worth noting, its number of horsepower - 99.7 hp (It is written in the nomenclature that 100 hp). This is done specifically for tax, because in earlier versions of Ceed and I30 such motors developed about 109 hp. So after the purchase you can restore the justice of the factory firmware () from Korea
Where is going : According to the latest information, they are shipped directly from Korea (about China talking does not go).
Fuel supply system, gasoline, compression ratio: Here, the distributed fuel injection (MPI) nozzles is installed in the plastic intake manifold. Gasoline at least 92. compression ratio of 10.5
Engine block: Aluminum with dry cast-iron sleeves. In essence, the design similar to Gamma, however, the KAPPA block is facilitated by 14 kilograms, compared with the predecessor! This causes alertness, the motors are "thin", and here there are still 14 kg from somewhere.
Cylinders, pistons, crankshaft: 4 - cylinder, located in a row. Pistons are even more facilitated than the predecessor. However, how does the manufacturer assure piston cooling nozzles - It is really plus. Rolling rods are thinner, but they are longer. The crankshaft is similar to G4FA and G4FC, but according to my neck, a little already. Again, relief in everything is not very good.
GRM: 16 valves (4 per cylinder). Again, there are no hydrocompensators, there are ordinary pushers. But there are two phase displayers on intake and graduation raids (D-CVVT). There is a lamellar gear chain.
Intake and exhaust manifold : As usual intake - made of plastic, with the inlet geometry system (VIS). Graduation - stainless steel, with a catalyst built into it.
Lubrication: You need to pour 5W30 or 5W40 synthetics, it is allowed to replace 15,000 km (the volume is also about 3.3 liters). Works at a temperature - 90 degrees Celsius.
Manufacturer's resource - about 200,000 km.
Pros and consKappa.
If you compare G4LC and G4FA (1.4 liters), then the generation of KAPPA maximum power It is achieved at 6000 rpm. Whereas Gamma at 6,300 rpm. Reached it by a longer piston stroke:
Gamma1.4. , stroke-75mm, diameter-77mm
KAPPA1.4. , stroke-84mm, diameter-72mm. That is, it is less, but walks more.
Even pluses are good fuel savings (up to 0.2-0.3 liters per 100km, if compared with the opponent) and the elasticity of the engine, it is also there are two phase displayers. Well, the weight loss by 14 kg, also gives advantages in overclocking and fuel consumption.
Here are also worth the metal chokes, thermostats, there are cooling of cylinders in nozzles. With due service (changing the oil after 10,000 km and pour good), more than 250,000 km walk (it is proved by operating I30 and CEED). By the way, it is put on Rio X-Line now
The minuses can be called relief of all and all, especially block, rods, pistons (by 14 kg). Of course, "" is also possible (folk craftsmen), but will be more accurate and difficult. Again noisy noisy, it's just a design specificity. We change the pushers every 100,000 km and the chain mechanism of 150,000 km (although it is not expensive, according to modern standards). As well as on many modern cars, There may be problems with jams from the catalyst (but this is not a complaint to this power unit).
The motor also turned out to be successful, and he picks up much faster than the opponent, it goes easily to 250,000 km and practically nothing problems with proper care.
Now we look at the video version of the article, I think it will be interesting.
If you summarize - it can be said that any 1.4 or 1.6 liter motor on machines Hyundai Solaris., Elantra, I30, Creta, as well as on Kia Rio, Rio X-Line, Ceed, Cerato - Walk without any problems, often just huge runs of 500 - 600,000 km. Take, do not be afraid.
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, during the operation of the car in the city, the Kia Rio engine 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 figures belong to more than 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 etc. 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 cars Kia. Installs automatic transmission that 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. IN 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. The calmer your ride style, the more you will serve your car without requiring expensive drivers repair work. Timely pass what will also allow you to extend the life of your motor.
