Repair and maintenance of Chevrolet Lanos. Chevrolet Lanos (since 2004), Daewoo Lanos (since 1997)

Chevrolet Lanos is a modern C-class front-wheel drive car. It quite acceptably combines parameters worthy of its class, convenience and stylish exterior with a competitive price.

The model was first announced at the 1997 Geneva Motor Show. The car was designed by a number of renowned engineering companies. Those. not only Daewoo Motors was involved in its development. The famous Italian bodywork studio Ital Design was engaged in the design.

In the line of power units, three engine models are provided, with a volume of 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 liters and a capacity from 75 to 106 liters. With. The motors are designed by Opel and are produced at one of the factories of this company (in Australia). All motors from the line provide the car with good acceleration dynamics. All engines, except 1.6, are 8-valve. The chassis is also designed by Opel and provides the car with good stability on the road and good smoothness. High quality soundproofing.

Standard equipment: front windows with power window, heated rear window, front and rear bumpers painted in body color, alloy wheels, air conditioning, radio and rear fog lamp. Two airbags, power steering and ABS.

Car assembly in South Korea was phased out in 2004. Recently, the Lanos plant in Poland was redesigned and production of Lanos was discontinued. Now Lanos is assembled only in Vietnam and Ukraine, by the Zaporozhye Automobile Building Plant (UkrAvto). Only Ukrainian cars are supplied to the CIS market. For the Ukrainian market, they are equipped with engines 1.5 l 8V (86 hp), 1.6 l 16V (106 hp). In Vietnam, the base model is Lanos with a 1.4l 8V (75hp) engine. The gearbox on all models is a 5-speed manual. Recently, cars under the Sens brand (Lanos with a modified engine from Tavria) began to be produced under the name Lanos 1.4.

Cars assembled in Ukraine are supplied for sale in three basic trim levels: S, SE and SX. The most expensive equipment includes power steering, airbag (driver's only), air conditioning, ABS on all wheels, central locking drive, acoustics (of low quality) and power windows.

Lanos was produced with a 1.3 liter engine (MeMZ 301 or 307) of the Melitopol Motor Plant. It is presented on the market under its own trademark - Sens.

The Ukrainian plant ZAZ produces cars of the T100 (4-door sedan) and T150 (5-door hatchback) models. Since the spring of 2007, the production of Lanos 1.4 has been mastered. This model is equipped with an upgraded engine from the Tavria ZAZ 1102 car with an imported gearbox, interconnected through a special plate.

The need to install an imported checkpoint, instead of the "native" Tavrichesky, is due to quite numerous complaints and complaints about the Melitopol box.

The production of Lanos pickup cars has also been mastered.

In our lives, almost every driver is also a car mechanic, since periodically the "iron horse" needs to fix some small problems, or if there is a big breakdown, the driver will always be able to find out the cause of the breakdown. One and the most important thing to do for your friend on wheels is to do preventative maintenance.

Now on the road you can see some of the drivers behind the wheel of the well-known Chevrolet Lanos car and, of course, like any other car, it periodically needs technical inspection or do-it-yourself repairs.

Before it comes to a full-fledged car repair, it is advisable to carry out preventive maintenance of the car.

Preventive maintenance includes:

• Annual replacement of the oil filter and engine oil or after every ten thousand kilometers;
• Replacing the fuel and air filter at the same frequency;
• Checking the rear hub bearings (checking the clearance);
• After the mileage is 40 thousand kilometers, the coolant is replaced (before such a moment, the check is carried out regularly);
• Every two years you need to replace the spark plugs and timing belt;
• Checking and replacing brake fluid after running 20 thousand kilometers;
• Regular diagnostics of the condition of the engine, suspension, wheel alignment, brake system (brake discs) and relative instruments.

Of course, if you are not confident in yourself, then it is not worth doing preventive maintenance yourself.

One of the most frequently asked questions from drivers is the question of whether when to put your winter tire, which is also considered important. With all this, repairing a Chevrolet Lanos with your own hands will not be difficult, since today you can get good advice and experience.

Microwave repair at home:

• If driver's door won't open, this indicates a broken handle or lock. To do this, it is worth removing and checking the handle and door lock. If it is not working properly, then you will need to install a new one.

• At the appearance of a knock in the back of the car it is worth checking the rubber mount of the muffler to see if they are worn out. To replace the rubber mount of the muffler, you need to disconnect the mount itself from the bracket of the exhaust system, then remove the mount from the car body and replace it with a new mount for the muffler.

• If under the front of the car drops of oil appeared or the front of the engine is splashed with oil, this indicates that it is time to check the crankshaft oil seal, it may have broken. When replacing the oil seal, do not forget to adjust the tension of the belts.

• Hum when speed increases, play in the wheel, uneven wear of rubber, changes in noise when changing movement, all this indicates that the bearing of the front wheel hub of the front wheel is not working properly. When replacing bearings, be sure to check the wheel alignment angles.

• Overheating of the car, car engine boiling and an increase in noise under the hood, this is what indicates a breakdown of the water pump. After replacing the water pump, the main thing is not to forget to put on the timing belt.

If you are not an experienced auto technician, it is better to first carry out repairs over engines with the help of car services, if possible, it is desirable to learn from specialists.

In the future, if you are sure that you can accurately determine the engine breakdown, then the repair can be carried out on your own.

Any repair in a Chevrolet Lanos car, both inside the cabin and inside the four-wheeled friend itself, is a sheer pleasure, the main thing is to have the right approach and mind to everything, since do-it-yourself repairs are not a problem, because there are no faulty parts, unless of course they are final not worn out or cannot be repaired.

In 2008 I bought a used Chevrolet Lanos SX. From the very beginning I try to carry out maintenance and repair of the car with my own hands. Little by little I post photo reports of Lanos repair and descriptions of key maintenance points here.
Car repair is fun, but it takes a garage and time. I have neither one nor the other, but still, during the warm period of the year, I manage to do something for the soul.

The inexpensive active antenna Bosch Autofun PRO (7617495200) is a good replacement for the standard telescopic antenna.
After a year of use, I can say that it provides reliable reception of all stations that were caught by the telescope, and in my opinion, the reception quality has become better. It is even possible that stations appeared in the reception area that were not heard before. I did not notice an increase in noise due to the use of an amplifier.
When installing the antenna, the main (round) module had to be positioned not according to the instructions, but slightly expanded (see photo). Read completely…

At some point, the radiator on my Lanos dripped and after a fairly long period of operation of the car with a constant topping up of antifreeze, it was decided to replace it.
Chevrolet Lanos engine cooling radiator replacement is a fairly simple process and will be within the power of any lander. This repair of a Chevrolet Lanos does not require any specific tool or equipment, it does not even need a viewing hole or a lift. Read completely…

I have long wanted to write this post, but somehow all hands did not reach. So, even on the winter holidays, some drug addict tried to open my Chevrolet Lanos, but he only opened the locks, so that the key could not open them. Therefore, the task arose to change the larvae of the locks. In the book on Chevrolet, Lanos found only information about changing locks in its entirety, so he decided to act locally. As it turned out, replacing the larvae is a very simple and short-lived affair. Read completely…

On Chevrolet Lanos, the manufacturer, due to the reduction in cost, installs the rear wheel hub combined with the brake drum, which greatly complicates the maintenance of the brake mechanism. But no one forbids you yourself to take and replace this hub with similar 2 separate parts, for example from Daewoo Lanos or Nexia, or other suitable ones. This makes life a lot easier.

Replacing the hubs is no different from what is described in the book Repair without problems Chevrolet Lanos / Daewoo Lanos, so see the main points there. I will make only a few additions on my own. Read completely…

One early weekend in the morning, my wife drove me out to the chilly autumn street to tighten the generator belt of our Chevrolet Lanos, because she didn't have the urge to listen to this disgusting sound every time. And having a little reinforced with Herculean porridge, at that time I had a decent stomach ache and I went to warming myself. He climbed into the car, put the key in the ignition, turned it, opened the hood, got out, and she clicked the locks and locked itself. And there are no spare keys, so I stood at the open hood in thought. Read completely…

I noticed that my rear shock absorbers stopped working. How do you know if they are not working? Very simply, you need to sharply swing the car down from the side of the shock absorber being tested. Those. if it is a rear right shock absorber, then you need to go to the rear right wheel and put your hands on the trunk somewhere near the upper shock absorber mount, sharply, with force, push down. The machine should be lowered with force and back up. If the body did not just move up, but made a few more vibrations down - up, then the shock absorber does not work or does not work well and the car is swinging on springs. What this entails is the instability of the car on the road, especially at high speeds, as well as the ability to break the suspension spring with a sharp impact, for example at high speed in a hole.

Before changing the engine oil, many motorists have a question - whether it is necessary to flush the engine, whether it be a "5 minute" flushing or with a special flushing oil.
Any engine oil already contains at least 1 component that is responsible for cleaning engine parts. Thus, if you constantly use the same engine oil and change it on time, then flushing the engine is definitely not necessary.

Lanos Chevrolet repair is not so difficult, and inexpensive, but requires some skill! In order not to figure out how to repair something on the fly, we recommend that you read this article to the end. We have already written a lot about repairing this car, and in this article we decided to take stock.

In a Chevrolet Lanos car, maintenance and repairs will cost you a penny, since parts are cheap, and repair work can be done on your own. There is nothing complicated there, so it's not worth running a hundred at the slightest breakdown.And the repair of the Chevrolet Lanos video can be viewed on YouTube. Due to the fact that this machine is one of the most popular in the CIS, there are a lot of videos from professionals and ordinary owners associated with the repair of a certain unit!

For example, we have already described the repair of a Chevrolet Lanos radiator. More precisely, we talked not about the repair, but about how to replace it. In fact, repairing a radiator is not entirely advisable, since it can start to leak again at any time. It is better to buy a new one, for this car it costs very little.

Repairing the suspension of a Chevrolet Lanos is also a simple task. We talked about how to replace wheel bearings, how to replace the hub itself, rear shock absorbers and other parts. On our site there is a lot of useful information not only on repair, but also on tuning, and a lot has been said about the car itself. So if you need to repair the Chevrolet Lanos suspension, you should know that you can do all the manipulations yourself.

We also reviewed the repair of the Chevrolet Lanos stove video. More precisely, we considered not repair, but replacement of the stove. Replacing it is not a problem, but changing the radiator of the heating stove is already a more difficult task, which you cannot cope with without our instructions.

Lanos is the people's car! And he became so for a reason! It is inexpensive, while more comfortable than Russian VAZs of the same model years. Taking into account the cost, it is a pleasure to ride it. In addition, the price of spare parts and service will please you as well. The maintenance of this car for the price does not differ much from the "Zhiguli".

Daewoo Lanos, a sedan or hatchback front-wheel drive passenger car designed and originally produced by Daewoo, was first introduced at the 1997 Geneva Motor Show under the name Daewoo Lanos as a replacement for the Daewoo Nexia. It was designed in collaboration with a number of reputable German and British engineering companies at the Daewoo R&D Center in Woking. The car body was designed by the famous Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (ItalDesign). With the entry of Daewoo into the General Motors concern on April 30, 2002, the car began to be sold under the Chevrolet brand. The car comes to the CIS market from Ukraine, where the SKD assembly of Lanos began in 1998 at the Ilyichevsk Automobile Units Plant, and in 2004 full-scale production was launched at the Zaporozhye Automobile Building Plant.

Now on the road you can see some of the drivers behind the drivers of the well-known Chevrolet car, of course, and Lanos, like any other car, periodically needs a technical inspection or repair with your own hands.

Before it comes to repairing a full-fledged car, it is advisable to carry out preventive maintenance of the car.

Preventive maintenance includes:

• Annual replacement of the oil filter and engine oil or after every ten thousand kilometers;
• Replacing the air and fuel filter at the same frequency;
• Checking the rear hub bearings (checking the clearance);
• After that, the mileage will be 40 thousand kilometers, the coolant is replaced (before such a check of the moment is carried out regularly);
• Replace spark plugs and belt every two years Check;
• Timing and replacement of brake fluid after 20 thousand kilometers;
• Regular diagnostics of the condition of the suspension, engine, wheel alignment, brake system (brake discs) and relative instruments.

Of course, if you are not sure of yourself, then it is not one to carry out preventive maintenance yourself.

one of the most frequently asked questions among drivers is the question of whether when to put the winter tire, which is also considered important. At the same time, repairing Chevrolet with your own Lanos will not be difficult for everyone, since today you can get good experience and advice.

• If not the driver's door opens, then this indicates a breakage or the handle of the lock. To do this, it is worth checking and removing the handle and door lock. If it is not needed, then it will be fine to install a new one.

• At knocking appearance at the back of the car it is worth checking the rubber mounts for the muffler, whether they are worn out. replacements For the rubber mount of the muffler, you need to disconnect the mount from the bracket of the exhaust system, then remove the mount from the car body and change the new mount for the muffler.

• If under part of the front of the car drops of oil appeared the front or part of the engine is splashed with oil, this suggests that it is time to check the crankshaft oil seal, it may have broken. When replacing, do not forget to adjust the tension of the belts.

• when the rumble speed increases, backlash in the wheel, uneven rubber wear, changes in noise during movement changes, all this indicates that the front bearing of the front wheel hub is not working properly. When replacing bearings, it is imperative to check the angles of the installation wheels.

• Overheating of the car, engine boiling increase and car noise under the hood, this is evidence of a breakdown of the water pump. After changing the water pump, the main thing is not to forget to put on the timing belt.

Repairs over engines, if you are not an experienced auto technician, it is better to first carry out with the help of car services, it is advisable to learn from specialists.

If, in the future, you are sure that you can accurately determine the engine breakdown, then you can carry out the repair yourself.

Any repair in a Lanos Chevrolet car, both inside the cabin and inside the four-wheeled friend, is a complete pleasure, the main thing to everything is to have the right mind, the approach as a do-it-yourself repair is not a problem, because there are no faulty parts, of course, if they are final not worn out or not subject to repair.

Our realities in life are such that many vehicle drivers are also auto mechanics for their "iron horses". It is clear that in this issue two main areas can be distinguished: preventive maintenance, the task of which is to prevent breakdowns and the actual repair, designed to eliminate malfunctions if they do arise.

Preventive vehicle maintenance

So, the repair and maintenance of Chevrolet Lanos consists in the following manipulations:

replacement of engine oil and oil filter annually or every ten thousand kilometers,
• replacing the air and fuel filter at the same frequency,
• checking the clearance of the rear hub bearings,
• replacement of the coolant after the mileage is forty thousand km (up to this point, a regular check is needed),
• replacement of spark plugs every two years of vehicle operation,
• timing belt replacement,
• checking the condition and replacing the brake fluid every twenty thousand kilometers,
• diagnostics of the engine, wheel alignment, suspension, brake system (brake discs may need to be replaced) and lighting devices should be regularly carried out.

It is clear that if you are not an auto mechanic, then you should not perform self-prophylactic diagnostics. The competence of the driver may include deciding when to install winter tires, and experts should give a conclusion on the technical condition of the vehicle. However, repairing a Chevrolet Lanos with your own hands is quite allowed in some cases, especially since today it is not difficult to get competent advice.

Implementation of repair measures

It should be noted that auto repair consists, first of all, in timely and accurate diagnostics. We are talking, of course, about complex units, which are difficult to understand without troubleshooting. After all, diagnosing the need for such manipulations as repairing plastic bumpers is much easier than finding a breakdown in the engine.

So, if a characteristic knock is heard in the cabin, then most likely you will need to repair the steering rack on a Chevrolet Lanos. On machines of this model, the steering is with a rack-pinion mechanism. The steering column is injury-free, and the drive consists of two steering rods, which are interconnected by ball joints.

The most difficult repair operation, practically impossible in "garage" conditions without the appropriate professional equipment, is the engine repair at Lanos. A self-diagnosis system is installed on cars of this model, which will send a signal to the dashboard in case of interruptions in the operation of the engine. The illuminated indicator should not be ignored, even if the machine behaves "as usual". It should be remembered that the vehicle owner can perform the initial diagnostics on his own, although the data obtained as a result will not be extremely accurate. So a visit to the service station, where the car will be repaired, should not be postponed. So, the malfunction indicator may light up if the crankshaft sensor or the fuel pump is out of order. In such cases, the vehicle becomes unable to continue driving. Loss of machine power, problems associated with other sensors (for example, the temperature sensor) or the ignition coil are not so critical and the car will continue to drive. However, the driver should not forget that he is operating a faulty car, and how it will behave in an emergency or just on the road is unknown.

By the way, if you have such an opportunity, please contact the repair specialists. This also applies to activities such as engine repair and starter repair. Equally important for the normal operation and repair of the checkpoint. It should be noted that in most cases this node will be recoverable. It is clear that for these purposes professional equipment and specific knowledge will also be required. The reasons for the failure of the gearbox can be:

• long-term operation of the unit at limiting conditions, which led to the wear of the main parts,
• incorrect clutch adjustment,
• improper oil change or lack of oil,
• violation of the recommended operating modes of the vehicle.

One of the most frequent driver's interventions in the work of stove repair can be attributed. In most cases, the repair of this unit comes down to replacing the radiator, which is very important for the correct operation of the power unit. When dismantling the device, remove the electric fans immediately.Remember to carry out dismantling work with a cold engine.

Since all electrical equipment is powered by the generator, this power package should be diagnosed regularly. However, it may also be necessary to repair the generator at Lanos, especially if the car has already covered more than 150 thousand kilometers. Malfunctions of the generator may be indicated by the occurrence of malfunctions of the entire spectrum of electrical equipment.

There are some cars whose designers would like to erect a monument during their lifetime. These are not some kind of supercars with a construction budget of forty million dollars. No. These are the cars that we use every day, sometimes without even thinking about the genius and simplicity of their design. These cars include Volkswagen Golf, Ford Escort / Focus, Toyota Corolla. But the most replicated on our territory is the Opel Cadet. Whatever they call him, he cannot hide his cadet nature. We will talk about one of the reincarnations of the German cadet today.

General Motors managers don't get their paychecks for nothing. Once Opel became part of GM, it wasn't a Senator or a Komondor who was lifted from the company's archives. A modest, but very popular Opel Cadet. Without thinking twice, the management transfers the documentation package and the license to the Korean division, and there the guys are tenacious. He and Ford Scorpio gained the necessary experience, and in the shortest possible time made the Cadet of the 80s a bestseller of the 2000s. Without making almost any fundamental changes, the designers managed to modernize the old Opel, give it an appropriate look and equip it with injection in order to sell the car in Europe in accordance with all environmental standards.

Like any normal car, the Chevrolet Lanos needs repairs and maintenance. Do-it-yourself Chevrolet Lanos repair takes place without any particular complications, apart from some work related to precision fuel equipment and electronics. Here you cannot do without special equipment and experience. Basic maintenance works for Lanos are standard:

1. replacement of oil and oil filter every 10-15 thousand km;
2. replacement of the fuel filter and air filter;
3. prevention of the air conditioner, if it is installed in the base;
4. replacing and monitoring the condition of the timing belt;
5. replacement of antifreeze every 40-50 thousand.

There are many such small works, and most of the owners carry out them on their own.

Gasoline is the curse of all injection engines that fill up at our gas stations. Despite the fact that the manufacturer gives a more driver-loyal period for replacing the filter and pump, it is worth boldly dividing it into two. By 15 thousand, the filter is clogged tightly, and the pump already needs repair by 25-35 thousand. If you do not clean the coarse filter in time. Whatever it was, but the first signs of a dying gas pump are noises. They can and should be distinguished by their nature, since they characterize the condition of the fuel pump and filters. If the pump starts to make a lot of noise even before starting the engine, only with the ignition on, this means that the coarse filter is clogged. The intake screen is in the tank and will have to be removed and cleaned. Indirect signs of a fuel pump breakdown can be:

• heavy start;
• unstable idle speed;
• failures when changing engine operating modes;
• loss of dynamics.

This indicates an insufficient amount of fuel for the engine to operate, but first of all, the engine control unit should notice this and give an error or, in severe cases, light the corresponding light bulb. When the pump makes noise during engine operation, depending on the nature of the noise, we can say that the pump is preparing to upset you. Also, the fine filter can put additional stress on the pump, so noise may occur. If, after changing the filter, the pump has not calmed down, you need to diagnose it or change it to a new one.

Car body repair is possible if the garage has the appropriate equipment and skills to use it. So, in case of any troubles with corrosion, you can always put several patches on the bottom, having previously processed the damaged area with a grinder and cleaned it to a clean metal not affected by corrosion. Also, the strengthening of the thrust pads for the C-pillars and the support bearing of the A-pillars can be attributed to bodywork. With a strong overload, sometimes cracks appear in these places, which need to be welded and primed.

Straightening and minor repairs of Lanos body panels and empennage only make sense when the damage is serious or a new wing or door cannot be found. In principle, with the supply of body parts, everything is more or less stable and you can find any piece of iron, if you had money. Preventive work on the body includes anti-corrosion treatment of the bottom and wheel arches, which are worth saying a few words separately.

The factory layer of anticorrosive mastic on the Chevrolet Lanos is about 240 microns, which is quite enough for several years of operation. But you should not miss the moment, but it is better to carry out a full anti-corrosion treatment of the bottom of the Chevrolet Lanos with special means. They are of the following types:

• wax-based;
• oil mastics;
• bituminous mastics;
• polymer mastics.

Wax and oil mastics are used mainly for interior surfaces, boxes, cavities and hidden volumes. Bituminous mastics are intended primarily for external use. They have good mechanical resistance to chips and corrosion inhibitors. The treated body will not touch the rust for another two to three years.

Lanos is a reliable and inexpensive car with average characteristics that satisfy both a city dweller and work out on medium-surface roads. With good care and timely maintenance, the Chevrolet Lanos will be your assistant for many years. Avoid dangerous pits, and good luck on the road!

More than a year has passed since the last review, and now it's ripe for continuation. From the moment of purchase, I was happy with the car, and rightly so. after all, after all, he moved to the car a cut above the previous one. Out of subjectivity, even with joy, he began to write a review, although even DROM offers to write reviews about the car sold. I hit it, as you can see, for more than 25 thousand km from the moment of purchase and it seems like I went down to the ground, I think now it is possible to give some kind of results.

And so on to the topic itself. I'll tell you what happened during the year.

From the moment the review was published, I drove decently. If we count from the moment of buying the car, when the odometer was 48200 km, it turns out that I drove 14500 km. There have already been repairs and much more, but first things first.

I switched to 95 gasoline. And he went over correctly, that is, with the setting of the octane of the corrector in the mode of 95 gasoline (he simply closed the wires in the block under the passenger seat). First I drove a simple 95, then switched to G-Drive from Gazprom. The car rides on it much more vigorously and better than on 92. Now, according to the bortovik, the average consumption is 7.74 l100km. At the same time, I mostly drive on the highway, 110-120 km / h.

I still decided to install HBO.

Initially I wanted BRC, but the installers who put gas on the previous cars refused to put the fourth generation on LANOS, only the second and that's it. And I drive my children in a car and the second generation doesn’t suit me in any way, it’s scary like that.

I stumbled upon a group in VK on installing HBO in my city, everything seems to be beautiful from the pictures, I called and agreed and in 3.5 hours they installed everything + skated the maps on a small section of the track.

On the same day, I went 220 km from my city, I was in a hurry, so I went with all the money).

In general, in the end this error overpowered me, which popped up 2 times a day, without changes in the operation of the engine, you see the low efficiency of the catalyst)

Along the way, in Yekaterinburg, on Kolmogorov, I bought parts:

Soldering acid, so as not to suffer in uncomfortable places with soldering,

Several resistors, so that with a margin, I already took on the Lancer but could not find them in the garage,

nominal 1 Megaohm 0.5 Watt

Several polar electrolytic capacitors! (minus they have where there is a strip on the body that is different in color), he also took them but could not find,

nominal value 1 Micro Farad 50 Volts.

The discussion of my review prompted me to tell a story from the life of my Lanos.

2 months before the sale, without an announcement, the right rear wheel bearing treacherously jammed!

As far as I know, for good reason, the bearings change in pairs, i.e. on one axis. The master recommended changing immediately 2. We look at the right one - it collapsed completely, somehow it was not even on its own, ashamed in front of the master and the machine. Usually at the first creak, knock, drip immediately to the station, and here it is! No squeak, no hum, no rattle, and at one moment on the move at a speed of 30-40 km (on the Suvorov ring - for Tomsk residents) the rear right wheel simply jammed.

dashed off more than 5000 from the date of purchase, gradually changed consumables, front pads, gasket under the valve. cover, rear pads, when replacing the rear pads, I found a cracked outer wheel bearing race, happy to change. I pulled up the link on the stabilizer, in the near future I plan to do the front hub and suspension, I will put the shock absorbers KYB Premium, just right for our roads. I'm happy with the machine, it justifies my money, but I want something not standard, like Toyota Sera. Now I put it up for sale, if I leave I'll look for something in the back of a coupe, I still drive almost constantly alone, with a maximum of one passenger.

First part. Replacing the rear brakes.

Actually, from the moment of purchase, I have already skated 10,000 km and then the rear brakes began to make themselves felt. As I wrote above, when buying, the rear drums were bored and adjusted, tk. the handbrake did not hold at all and there were practically no brakes. The problems began in April, when I left the car for 2 weeks in the airport parking lot, upon arrival I went happy that I would not have to pay bad taxi drivers for the car and could not leave - the rear pads were stuck. After a slight movement, the left drum came off, and the right one stuck tightly.

Well, actually, with the arrival of winter, the flaws of the dear Zaporozhye AvtoZavod began to crawl out, and various problems. The temperature outside in Ufa is from 25 to 28 degrees below zero, the car starts up and drives me to work, from work and on business. In general, it all started with the fact that I was driving home and suddenly, when switching from 3rd to 4th gear at a speed of 60 km / h, the car stopped responding to pressing the gas pedal, pressed it, but the speed did not increase. Turned off the transmission, turned on, pressed, drove normally. Thinking "what kind of attack?" And the car somehow began to go badly when the foot is on the gas pedal, but it is worth releasing as soon as a sharp push and the speed drops to 10 km / h.

Well, actually, oil began to leak from under the valve cover. It is clear that no one has ever changed the gasket there and it has dried up. In our village called Ufa, I could only find one single type of gaskets, although the factory was completely different. I would like to draw the attention of those who are going to change it - it is better to take a thin inner gasket that fits into a groove inside the valve cover or a wide outer one, but with a shoulder in the middle. I just got a flat wide outer gasket. After installation, over time, oil began to leak again, removed the cover, filled the groove inside the cover with sealant, put the gasket itself on the cylinder block with sealant.
