thanks for the hard work, but why is the sound from the video so much behind ??

Can sumone explain to me what did he do at the end with the LEDs pls

Cool! Do you accept repair orders?

Not! one headlight was enough for me!

There is an option.
Only I removed the glass, I replaced 1w 350 mA (standard ones) with 3w 750 mA (they have the same price) and made a circuit of three diodes in each circuit, I put a 10 Ohm 5w resistor (instead of a board, so I extinguished the voltage)
my DRLs live och long ride for a year and all the rules shine a little brighter and almost do not get warm.
good luck to all

thanks for the vidos. I will repair! I'm thinking of trying to remove the glass.

Copying design and borrowing technical solutions, engines and even platforms from eminent automakers is a feature of many Chinese cars. One such example is the Chery Tiggo, which has become a very successful reincarnation of the second generation Toyota RAV4 crossover. Let's check how things are going with its maintenance? We assess maintainability in points - they correspond to the total standard hours (according to the official grid) spent on certain operations.

There are two gasoline engines and two types of drive available for the Tiggo in our market. The older 2.0 engine is paired only with an all-wheel drive transmission and a five-speed manual gearbox. Unfortunately, we were not able to touch this modification due to the extremely low demand for it. Most dealers do not keep such machines in their warehouses and only bring them to order.

Video (click to play).

But the most demanded Tiggo was dismantled to a screw: with a 1.6 engine and no alternative front-wheel drive - such versions come with both a variator and a mechanics.

Regardless of the configuration, the Tiggo has a very peculiar maintenance schedule. The time interval is the usual year, and the service mileage was reduced to 10 thousand km. In addition, the list included works long forgotten by most manufacturers with suspiciously frequent deadlines.

The 1.6 petrol four with a maintenance-free timing chain drive was created on the basis of the Mitsubishi engine, which was slightly modernized, equipped with two variable valve timing couplings and a variable-length intake manifold.

Surprisingly, all attachments are driven by one belt. It is fortunate that there is an automatic roller tensioner with a quite convenient release mechanism. When replacing the belt, be sure to sketch or photograph how it stood, otherwise you will waste a lot of time later without prompting. We change the belt from below, additionally removing the side boot.

An interesting ignition system is used on this engine, again borrowed from Mitsubishi. Two-lead coils are installed in the wells of the second and fourth cylinders. Outwardly, they resemble individual ones - with one lead the coil sits directly on the candle, and the high-voltage wire goes to the neighboring "pot". There will be no problems with replacing candles (according to the regulations - every 20 thousand km). All this exotic is covered only by a decorative motor cover on simple clamps.

The coils are fixed with bolts "8", and their connectors have simple fastenings. For candles you will need a familiar "16" head.

Strange, but the regulations do not indicate the timing of replacing the engine air filter. And he usually does not live more than 20 thousand km. The upper filter cover is fixed with two self-tapping screws and three projections in the grooves on the lower housing. When replacing the filter, it is enough to unscrew the fasteners.Lift the cover, but do not remove it from the case, otherwise you will then fall into the grooves for a long time.

Antifreeze replacement is prescribed every 40 thousand km - very often! Fortunately, there is a divine drain plug on the radiator. Additionally, we remove the half of a small boot on the bumper under it.

Pleased with the presence of a separate filter outside the tank. The fuel lines are fixed on it with convenient quick-release couplings. To remove the filter, unclench the metal bracket that tightens it and unscrew the "ground" wire fixed to the body with a bolt "8". It would seem that everything is fine, but the matter is overshadowed by the ultra-short interval for replacing the element - every 20 thousand km!

I was also struck by the presence of a mandatory operation to update the power steering oil. Of course, sooner or later, the grease needs to be changed (despite the fact that it is supposedly designed for the entire service life), but not as often as the "Chinese" require - first at 20 thousand mileage, and then every 40 thousand!

The service of the mechanical box also excelled. The oil change interval is 30 thousand km. Even for serious off-road vehicles, it is not updated with such enviable regularity. It's good that the usual drain and filler plugs are provided. The normal oil level is at the lower edge of the filler hole.

Even the variator has a life of its own. Not only is it designed to use conventional ATF fluid for hydromechanical automatic devices, it also provides for only one oil change per 40 thousand kilometers. Aggregates of this type are quite whimsical - that's where you shouldn't be limited to just one fluid update! At the same time, the procedure is quite simple - everything is like in the usual classic slot machines. There is a normal drain plug and even a good old dipstick (also a filler hole). Only its location let us down. It comes out almost under the engine air filter housing, and it is difficult to reach it with your hand, let alone the oil fill. Well, at least it won't be difficult to remove the case. It is secured on the sides with two “10” bolts and a regular clamp on the throttle body.

The battery is fixed by the upper bar on two studs with nuts "10". Regular terminals are not overloaded with additional elements. Everything is removed quickly and without problems.

The Chinese were too clever with the location of the engine compartment fuse box. He was pushed into the right cup (upper suspension strut support). The block covers a separate part of the "frill" (cover under the windshield), fixed with four caps for a Phillips screwdriver. It is inconvenient to put it back - it is difficult to immediately hit the ledges under the glass. The fuse box cover is secured on the sides with two latches. It contains the English-language designations of the chains and their spare protectors. The cabin unit is located under a simple cover on the dashboard (bottom left). But, unfortunately, there are no designations or spare fuses on it.

All brakes are disc brakes. The calipers are secured with bolts "13". Replacing the front pads - no surprises, and at the back there is a nice bonus - no recessed pad is needed. The pistons are brought together without rotation with an improvised tool. Replacement of brake fluid - every 40 thousand km. The fittings are conveniently located.

Replacing lamps in front optics is a thankless task. Free access is only to the turn signals. Their sockets are located in the inner corners of the headlights near the radiator grill and are secured by turning. The rest of the lamps have a simple fixation, but it is difficult to crawl up to them. Burnt out diode running lights must be replaced along with the optics.

Access to the right headlight is severely limited by the antifreeze reservoir. Fortunately, he effortlessly comes up from the mounts. If this did not help, then you will have to remove the optics, partially dismantling the bumper.

The trouble is with the front foglights. It is unheard of that to replace lamps you had to not only remove, but also disassemble the headlight! Access to lighting equipment is only from below and from the side, and it is necessary to partially dismantle the fenders.

There are no problems with the lamps in the taillights. The brake lights in them are diode, as in the additional element on the rear door. Access to the rest of the lamps is through the niches in the sidewalls of the trunk. They are closed with lids with simple latches. Under them are large plastic plugs that can be removed by hand or prying off with a screwdriver.

With rear foglights, too, not everything is smooth. They are located in the corner portions of the bumper and the pivot-secured lamp holders abut against the body panel. Accordingly, the headlights will have to be removed along with these corner bumpers. The operation is time consuming.

Chery Tiggo FL scored 15.5 points - a mediocre figure. And this despite the fact that the car is surprisingly easy to maintain, as in the good old days. The barrel of honey was spoiled by annoying fly in the ointment: a mysterious maintenance schedule with very short intervals for changing liquids and ridiculous difficulties with replacing lamps in optics.

The editors would like to thank the technical center "Cheri Center Kashirsky" (Moscow) for help in preparing the material

The refinement of Cherie Tigo in the FL modification, like tuning other Chinese cars, is best to start with the engine rework. Having “bewitched” over the power unit, you can proceed to work on the brakes and the car body. Let's find out what awaits those who want to improve the Chinese SUV and how to do the technical part of the modernization with their own hands.

Quite often, Cherry car owners find themselves in situations where the car simply won't start. And this despite the fact that it is not frosty outside, there is enough engine oil, the car hasn’t hit a lot, but the power unit of the car stubbornly does not start. And even if it starts, the Tiggo shows a rather sluggish acceleration, the appearance of floating revs and an increase in fuel consumption. Many attribute these problems to low-quality gasoline, however, as practice shows, the cause of the FL model malfunction lies much deeper.

Almost all representatives of the Tigo FL model range are equipped with 16-valve motors with IKZ. Experts call a bad spark one of the main disadvantages of such engines. A similar problem makes itself felt after the first six months of Chery operation. As a result, dips appear in the accumulative phase of the ignition coils, lasting no more than 3 ms. Despite the short duration, the swing of the dips sometimes reaches about 5 V, which is more than noticeable at high speed. A decrease in the maximum accumulation during a rupture by as much as 18% is equivalent to a decrease in the energy in the coil. As a result, the coil gives 33% less energy to the candle than required.

It is possible to solve the problem with your own hands by tuning by installing capacitors. Moreover, it is necessary to look for a place for their installation as close as possible to the center of the load. In addition to installing capacitors, the circuit that powers the Tiggo ignition coils will also need to be reworked. Fortunately, this is also very easy to do without the help of specialists.

Having figured out the cause of the problem and how to fix it, you can go to the store. For tuning, we need to select 2 capacitors with the following characteristics:

voltage range from 35 to 63 V;
capacitance limits 3200–4700 μF;
parts must be low impedance, marked LowESR;
it is better to give preference to the products of firms Samwha, CapXon or Jamicon.

After the purchase, the most interesting begins, namely the preparation and installation of capacitors. To begin with, the conclusions of the parts must be twisted and the wires must be soldered. Finished parts must be insulated with heat shrinkage. Tuning by installing elements can be done in two ways.

The first of them consists in cutting the electrical tape of the bundle under the corrugation of the coil located between the second and third cylinders of the Tigo FL. There we find several blue wires, one of which is marked S1. You need to connect the pluses of the previously twisted capacitors to this wire.

The second method relies on soldering the positive leads of the capacitors to the blue lead wire that exits from the ECM connector.In both the first and second cases, the minus wiring of the capacitors must be soldered to the point of mass under the M6 bolt. The point we need is near the Cherry oil pressure gauge.

After installing the capacitors, we proceed to the next stage of tuning - reworking the power supply circuit of the Tiggo coils. Initially, the circuit consists of a large number of different wires and has 4 connectors. Power to the latter comes from the ignition switch. This principle of power supply negatively affects the resistance in the coils. In order to solve the problem, you can supply power to the coils from the main relay of the engine control unit. To do this, you need to find a crimp with the inscription S5. In Cherry cars, it is located between the ECM harnesses towards the dashboard.

As soon as you find a wire with this marking, you need to disconnect it from the general connector and pull it towards the Chery engine shield. Next, we connect the wire to the ECU relay, having previously replaced the 33rd fuse from 7.5 A to 10 A. After the work done with our own hands, we get high dynamics when accelerating an SUV. Dips disappear automatically, the car reacts better to pressing the gas pedal. The Chery engine will idle better, and fuel consumption will be reduced by about 0.8-1 l / 100 km.

Initially, the Tigo FL is equipped with a dual-circuit hydraulic braking system. A special pressure regulator, popularly nicknamed the "sorcerer", is responsible for the stable operation of the rear brake discs. This part is considered one of the weakest components of Chery brakes. We propose to consider the principles of tuning the brake system, replacing the regulator and remaking the two-circuit-diagonal design for a two-circuit-axial one.

The main role of the “sorcerer” is to create force in the rear of the PL braking system, depending on the severity of the braking and the load on the Tiggo. In a standard suspension, the regulator can be easily adjusted to certain settings. However, even having slightly exceeded the allowable load of the car, you can forget about the presence of a “sorcerer” in Chery. As a result, almost every third Chery has serious problems with the brake system.

Tuning a Chinese SUV is carried out in 2 stages. At the first stage, we will be converting the brakes to a dual-axis system. The second stage will consist of replacing the regulator with a better part from Chevrolet lanos.

The Tiggo dual-circuit diagonal braking system at its rear is equipped with two special tubes that are connected to the discs. In order to turn the machine system into a two-circuit-axial one, it is necessary to plug one of the pipes on the main brake cylinder. In this case, we leave the "sorcerer" for now, closing his pipe. You can also replace the regulator with a T-piece. As a result, we get a more stable and even operation of the rear part of the Chery braking system, that is, after tuning, all 4 wheels of the FL model will brake equally with maximum effort.

In the second step, we will install a Lanos regulator on the Tiggo. The only drawback of this method is the need to seek help from a familiar turner, since the hole and thread for the pipe from the Chevrolet are not suitable for mounting on the Tiggo. We also need an adapter with which we can screw the tubes on both sides of the regulator. So, it is necessary to remove the Chery rear wheels and dismantle the brake discs. Just above the wheel arches is a regulator that we have to remove. In the form of a regular "sorcerer" you need to file a detail from Lanos. Next, we mount a new element and fasten the wheels.

What is a modern jeep without a kenguryatnik? That's right, none, so the first thing to do to improve the Tiggo is to install a car bumper protection. Thus, the car will become much more passable, it will not be afraid of off-road and stones.Before proceeding with tuning, you need to purchase a protective product.This issue must be approached very responsibly, first measure the distance between the edges of the headlights, as well as the height and length of the bumper, and write down all the dimensions. Then go to the store to shop. Among the entire assortment, choose the kengurin in the design of which there are more metal components. This is not only about pipes, but also about fasteners - they must also be made of steel. It is even better if the arcs are connected to each other by welding.After buying a kenguryatnik, you need to drill the fasteners in the area under the Tigo FL bumper. You need to make holes as low as possible, the reliability of the fastening of the structure depends on this. Next, we install protection, you need to use the help of a friend. As long as it holds the top of the kangarin, you will secure the bottom. When screwing in the fasteners, try to avoid cracking. At the same time, mount the structure as tightly as possible.In addition to the kenguryatnik, an automobile winch will help to complement the image of a modern SUV. It is best to buy an electrical structure. If you get stuck in a hole, with an electric towing device, you have to spend a minimum of effort to pull your Tigo FL out of the trap.As for winch manufacturers specifically, if possible, purchase a model WARN XD and Electric Winch 9500... Both of these devices have a reliable cable and high build quality. After purchasing the device, you need to think over the location of the winch on Chery. It is best to mount the structure at the front so there will be no problem connecting to the Tiggo battery.For tuning, we need a piece of channel with such a width that would allow us to freely accommodate the entire winch. We weld the channel to the body below the radiator grill without damaging the kengurin. In order to eliminate the risk of breakage of the fasteners while towing the Tiggo, you need to install corners under the bolts, and only then screw in the fasteners. When you screw on the winch itself, you must constantly make sure that the device is perfectly level. To avoid a short circuit, the solenoid block must be hidden under the hood or in the Chery salon.Upon completion of the installation, you must connect the electric winch. To do this, the car battery must be fully charged. We put a power fuse between the relay and the battery positive. If there is a need to adjust the relay, then this can be done using a conventional 10 A switch. Next, we connect the device strictly according to its instructions. After connecting, you need to check the operation of the winch by turning off the ignition and unwinding a few meters of the cable. Next, we start the engine and start winding the cord. If everything is working properly, then you can continue to operate the updated Tigo FL.Do you still think that car diagnostics is difficult? If you are reading these lines, then you have an interest in doing something yourself in the car and really savebecause you already know that:

STO lomat big money for simple computer diagnostics

To find out the error, you need to go to the specialists

Simple wrenches work in the services, but you can't find a good specialist

And of course you are tired of throwing money away, and there is no question of driving around the service station all the time, then you need a simple ELM327 AUTOSSCANER that connects to any car and through a regular smartphone you will always find a problem, pay off CHECK and save a lot.We have tested this scanner ourselves on different machines. and it showed excellent results, now we recommend it to EVERYONE! So that you do not fall for the Chinese counterfeit, we publish here a link to the official website of the AutoScanner.They can only be replaced, independently, or at a dealer under warranty or for a fee.

Do you need to disassemble the headlamp? Or can you get the LEDs directly like that?

there is an article on the drive how you can change it yourself

Of course you can. It's only one thing to make them burn.And the other so that they do not burn out anymore. To remove the headlamp look on the drive how to re-solder the LEDs and install current stabilizers

And what is the condition of the headlights? In my 4th year they were covered with an indelible cloudy bloom. Professional polishers threw up their hands saying that some protective layer has peeled off, which they usually polish to restore transparency. They offered to do a deep abrasive polishing at the price of an almost new headlight, but they warned in advance that after this operation the glass would become cloudy again within a month.
I decided to experiment with glass replacement. I ordered it in China, took out the old glasses with some difficulty, put in new ones, adjusted and realized that I still drove almost without headlights. Glasses there are made of plastic. $ 15 for glass + $ 60 for delivery + 250r for a tape for gluing Abro glasses, although a certain Chinese sealant is attached to the glasses. Without smell. After drying (2-3 hours) it is very similar to the factory one.

From personal experience, the H4 Philips Blue Vision showed a good result on an old car. They shine a little brighter (+ 30%) and with less yellowness than the standard ones. This can be a little tiring in winter due to the contrast being too high. But on Tiggo and ordinary bulbs are enough.

A question about headlight adjustment. For the sake of interest, I drove into a service where there is a certain device for adjustment. Adjusted. I drove out onto the road and realized that they had set it to 0. Ie. moving away from the wall, the upper limit of the light does not change in any way. Although the headlight says “1.3%”. Once again, making sure that the services can only solve the problem of accepting cash (twisted 2 or 4 screws and got 500 rubles in 5 minutes and probably wait again, when, after this would-be adjustment, I’m deployed to MOT) I would like to know what the principle of this work is miracle adjustment drawer? Does he know how to show the angle?
I had to go to the parking lot and adjust everything in the old fashioned way in a couple of minutes

Replacing the fog light for a chery tiggo is quite problematic due to the rigid attachment and limited access, but it can be solved.

There are two ways to remove the fog lamp - stick your hand from the bottom of the wheel arch liner or remove the headlight. Of course, it is easier and more convenient to access from above if you remove the headlight.

The author of the video had to remove another bumper, because after winter operation, it cracked in several places and at the same time had to change the fog lamp to a new one, also made in China.

Issue price:
- fog lamp: 680-695 rubles
- performance of work: free of charge (on their own in the garage).
