The two-liter gasoline and diesel Aktion engines have the same displacement and power. Both are equipped with a maintenance-free timing chain drive. In general, apart from the natural design differences between these two types of engines, their environment is extremely similar.

For a gasoline engine, the usual service interval is provided - 15,000 km or one year. The attachment belt is equipped with an automatic roller tensioner. To loosen it, a turnkey ebb "for 19" is made on the body. There is very little free space for manipulation - the spar interferes. The belt is changed from below. The regulation does not set a replacement date, but servicemen say that it easily survives 100,000 km.

The individual spark plug coils are located under the decorative engine cover. Like most motors, rubber grommets hold it in place; apply a little effort and pull up from the mounts. The coils are fixed with bolts "10", candles - under the usual head "16". The plug replacement interval is 30,000 km.

An off-tank fuel filter is a service-friendly solution. By the way, it is a rarity on modern cars. According to the regulations, the filter is changed every 30,000 km. The original comes assembled with a bracket for attaching to the body. When replacing, it is enough to unscrew the two nuts "12". When using analog filters, we additionally unclench the metal clamp on the bracket, loosening the bolt with a Phillips screwdriver or a “10” head. The fuel lines are secured with convenient quick-release couplings.

Diesel is prescribed a more modest service interval - 10,000 km or one year. The hinged belt has an automatic roller tensioner similar to that of a gasoline engine. But due to the design, it is not always possible to loosen it enough to tighten the new belt. Servicemen use a special mandrel and put on a belt by rotating the crankshaft pulley. The regulation and life of the element is the same as for a gasoline engine belt.

The diesel fuel filter is located under the hood, behind the battery. When replacing it, the servicemen do not touch the battery. There is enough space to remove the body together with its bracket. It is secured with three “10” nuts on the left pillar cup. Remember to disconnect the fuel lines and filter heating connector. Please note: there is a water level sensor at the bottom - do not tear the wiring.

The filter is a cartridge type, so we disassemble the case and change the paper element. To do this, unscrew the two "25" torx. After assembly, we pump the system with a hand pump located on the filter. Turn its plastic cap counterclockwise and it rises on the stem. To fix the pump after pumping, you need to press the cover and turn clockwise accordingly. Sometimes it is impossible to unscrew the lid by hand and a tool is required (a handy is enough). The filter change interval is 30,000 km.

Air filter in the case, located in front of the battery; on cars with a gasoline engine and with a diesel engine, the body is the same. Lift the top cover to replace the element. It is secured with three latches and one captive “10” bolt or Phillips screwdriver.The replacement interval for a car with a gasoline engine is 30,000 km, with a diesel engine - only 10,000 km.

Antifreeze drain plug is located at the bottom of the radiator, on the left. By unscrewing it, you open a channel in the fitting, under which there is a hole in the body amplifier. Through this hole, the liquid drains directly into the container - a good solution. True, you will have to partially remove the plastic boot under the bumper. The regulation for replacing antifreeze on a gasoline car is every 90,000 km, and on a diesel one again more often - 60,000 km.

The situation with the power steering is ambiguous. Regardless of the modification, Actyon can be equipped with both classic hydraulic and electric, built into the steering column. On fresh cars, power steering is often combined with a gasoline engine, and an electric amplifier with a diesel engine. Oil change intervals are not specified. The liquid is renewed partially by pumping it out of the expansion tank, or completely by removing the lines from the rail. Alas, we didn’t foresee connections on usual clamps.

Mechanical boxes for a gasoline engine and for a diesel engine are different in filling, but very similar in appearance, especially in the location of technological holes. The usual drain and filler plugs are provided, access to both is good. The normal oil level is at the edge of the filler hole. The grease change interval is the same - 60,000 km (quite often manufacturers fill in oil for the entire service life).

Automatic machines for a gasoline engine and a diesel engine are completely different units. Both do not have a dipstick for checking the oil, but there are convenient drain and filler plugs. The normal level on a heated box with the engine running is along the edge of the filler hole. In both units, the lubricant is changed every 60,000 km. I advise you not to exceed this mileage - then the machine will live for a long time.

The transmission units, as well as its architecture, are identical for all Acts. Gearboxes for 4 × 4 versions have a slightly different housing - designed for docking with a transfer case. It is also convenient to check the oil in it. And the rear gearbox is easy to maintain. Again, I was surprised by the indecently small oil change interval in both nodes - only 30,000 km. This is usually the case with off-road vehicles, not crossovers.

The battery is difficult to change. It is fixed from below with a metal plate on two “12” bolts, but the engine control unit bracket prevents access to them. On the version with a gasoline engine, the bracket can be painlessly bent to the side, and on a diesel engine, various lines interfere with maneuvers. But you should not unscrew this bracket: later you will be attaching the fastening bolts for a longer time. In this case, the process will be slightly simplified by the magnetic head.

The engine compartment fuse box stands next to the battery. Uncomplicated cover fixings, circuit designations (albeit in English) and a minimum supply of fuses make replacement easy. Salon block - in the left end of the dashboard. To remove its cover, press the latch from the bottom. There are no spare fuses, but the designations are good.

All versions of Aktion have disc brakes at the front and rear. The front two-piston calipers are secured with two “14” bolts. When replacing the pads, it is not very convenient to recess the pistons. (However, all such designs do not indulge in the simplicity of this operation.) The rear calipers, ordinary, are fixed with the same bolts. The pistons are sunk without rotation, using any tool at hand - no special devices are needed. The parking brake mechanism (drum design with separate pads) is integrated into the brake disc. It will take a while to change his pads. The system bleed connections are conveniently located. Change the brake fluid at every second maintenance.

The factory crankcase protection is a plastic boot. This protection is sufficient as the engine and gearbox hang well above the massive subframe. The boot has no technological holes for draining fluids, but it does not pick up dirt and is fastened with convenient “10” bolts.

Turn signal lamps are located in the outer corners of the headlights, in separate wells. They are deeply recessed, and to replace them, the optics will have to be removed, partially dismantling the bumper. The operation is laborious, and it is good that these lamps rarely burn out. Access to the rest of the elements is quite passable. Separate low and high beam lamps are located in individual wells with covers that are fixed by turning. Access to the right headlight is slightly easier as the air filter housing and fuse box on the left get in the way. Lamps are secured by springs with locks. Daytime running lights are diode, replacement - only assembled with a headlight. We change the lamps in the front foglights from below, partially disconnecting the lower fasteners of the wheel arch liners.

When replacing the rear lamps, remove the lights: the hole in the body niche is only for the wiring harness. Fortunately, the attachments are successful and the operation will not take much time and effort. All lamps are fixed by turning. The additional brake light on the trunk lid is LED, it can only be replaced as a complete unit. To replace the lamps in the room lighting, we remove the case. The fastenings are simple, but fragile - we proceed carefully. The license plate frame does not interfere with this.

The editors would like to thank the auto center "Marshal Auto" for their help in preparing the material.

1. Remove the subframe assembly.

Remove the engine and transmission module assembly.
Make sure the unit to be removed does not snag on nearby parts in the engine compartment.

2. Disconnect the front and rear oxygen sensor connectors.

3. Unscrew the five screws (10 mm) and remove the heat shield.

Note:
Tightening torque: 10.0 ± 1.0 Nm.

4. Remove the nuts (12 mm) securing the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold.

Note:
Tightening torque: 40.0 ± 5.0 Nm.

1. The most important thing - in the middle of summer, the front-left hose burst. Slowly got to the house and then to the service station. At a distance of 1.5-2 km. There is practically no effect when the brake is applied for almost the entire length of the stroke. It worked only when pressed all the way. Half a liter of brakes was sprayed onto the vskidku. The hose broke almost at the seam. We began to check - they found a hernia on the back right. So it is also under replacement.

Brake hose front left 4871034002 - 1 - 1150r. (offline)

Rear right brake hose 4873134002 - 1 - 860 rub.

Winter has come. With the onset of cold weather, it began to freeze in the car. The warmth became in the cabin after 30 minutes. The Internet and friends gave advice, ranging from cleaning the heater to replacing the thermostat and radiator. And then, while I was waiting for the child from training, I decided to climb into the glove compartment and look at the cabin filter. I have never had such a disgusting filter. Either this year the roads were not cleaned, or the fact that last winter got stuck in a snowdrift up to the tomatoes and tore out the engine boot by the roots had an effect. But even the fact that I just tapped it on the curb gave the stove 30 percent additional power, and the interior began to warm up in 10 minutes.

All motorists know that a Sang Yong Aktion model diesel engine oil change must be carried out every 10,000 km. Run, or at least once a year. On petrol units, the oil change interval is every 15,000 km. At the same time, the viscosity of the oil should be 5W-30.

In order to change the engine oil, it is necessary to remove the protective cover of the engine, as a result of which access to the cover of the oil filter, inside which the cartridge is located, opens. We unscrew the lid using a special "cup" or using the old "old-fashioned" method. with a chain key.
The whole process can be clearly seen in the presented video on do-it-yourself car repair.

Quite often, even some experienced specialists do not undertake the revision of Ssangyong Actyon New. But if you look at tuning an SUV in more detail, you can be sure that even a beginner can do this work. Where to start improving Actyon New and how to achieve a good result - we will figure it out together.

When it comes to chip tuning of Korean cars, many car enthusiasts immediately have a question: "Will something work out?" As practice shows, yes. If you properly reflash the Ssangyong ECU, you can significantly improve the performance of the engine and chassis of the SUV. The car will stop stalling when changing gears, jerking will disappear when entering corners. In addition, the car will consume less fuel.

The first thing you need for chip tuning is high-quality firmware. In the case of other cars, new software for replacing the engine ECU must be found on the official website of the block supplier. But this principle is categorically inappropriate for Actyon New. The fact is that the Ssangyong company equips the blocks of its SUVs with special programs that protect the ECU from any kind of hacking, including a complete software replacement. Despite such a thorough protection, it is still possible to perform chip tuning of the car. For this, in addition to the new firmware, we need the original PAK Combiloader Loader. It has a special function, by activating which you can bypass almost any protection.

As for the firmware itself, to download it, it is better to visit several automotive forums, where users post proven working utilities. You need to download the program that is placed in one zip archive. Such a program will be easier for the PAK Loader to handle.

Also, for chip tuning, you will need an original K-Line adapter and one USB adapter to it. The work will be carried out in the car salon, so all programs and drivers must be installed on a laptop with Windows XP. Having prepared everything you need, we sit down in the cab and connect the charger to the laptop. It is better not to turn it off during chip tuning. Next, remove the protective cover on the panel to the right of the Ssangyong steering wheel. Immediately behind it is the car's ECU. We connect one end of the K-Line adapter to the OBD connector. We connect the other end with a USB adapter to the laptop. We start the car engine and wait for about 5 minutes. During this time, a folder with information about the Actyon New control unit should appear on the laptop display. As soon as this happened, you need to connect the PAK Loader.

After the last light turns green, you can go directly to the chip tuning. So, we are looking for the previously downloaded archive with the new firmware and open it through the 7-Zip program. As the final one, we indicate the folder in which the standard firmware is located. A few seconds later, the PAK Loader will work with a warning about the presence of security programs. At this time, you need to go to the Bootloader menu and activate the "Ignore device protection" function in it. Then we reboot the Loader by pressing the Reset button on its block, and wait a few minutes.

The further chip tuning algorithm is completely identical to the ECU flashing of other cars. We agree with the Bootloader warning about making changes and configure those Ssangyong elements to which we have access. When calibrating, you must adhere to your preferences and driving style. But overdoing it is also not worth it. Remember - the further to the right you move the slider of one of the elements, the greater will be the load on other parts of Actyon New. The final stage of chip tuning will be to confirm the settings and wait until the new program is installed on the car's engine ECU. In less than 10 minutes of installation, the car will stall several times and start again - this means that you did everything right. After the installation line turns green, you need to press the "OK" button on the display and turn off all equipment. Next, we start checking the results.

Depending on the firmware used, as a result of chip tuning, you will receive a power increase of about 20–32%. The torque will increase by an average of 26–35%, due to which the car will accelerate a little faster. After work, you will notice how the performance of the suspension system improves. Now your Ssangyong will enter corners clearly and without body tilt.The machine will instantly respond to your commands, because the computer's RAM will no longer be occupied by factory programs to protect against hacking. Another advantage of chip tuning is that the SUV will consume less fuel. In the case of a gasoline engine, it will be possible to save up to 1.2 l / 100 km. Owners of diesel Actyon New will be more fortunate - they will be able to save almost 1.5 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers.

After chip tuning, the power of the Korean SUV will increase dramatically. Along with this, the vibrations of the engine will also increase, which now will not just vibrate, but literally rush under the hood, because the standard equipment of Actyon New is not designed for such a powerful power unit. The car's motor is supported only by two standard crossbars. To correct this problem, you will need to install an additional support. The latter can either be purchased in a store, or purchased from the owner of a domestic "Niva" 1996-2009It should be noted right away that the second option is more preferable, since a part from a Russian car is much superior in quality to most imported elements. At the same time, you should be extremely careful not to purchase a spare part with cracks. In addition to providing additional support, the boom has other important functions. It significantly increases the service life of the exhaust system and drive wheels. And since the front and rear wheel drives on the Ssangyong are rather weak, the rod from the Niva is just what you need. In order to independently install an additional support on the Actyon New, it must be disassembled in advance. For work, you also need to prepare:

jack;

powerful removable key;

Screwdriver Set;

household cleaner and water;

household hair dryer;

drill;

any automotive lubricant.

First, raise the front of the car with a jack, and then remove both wheels. Next, unscrew the bolts and remove the A-pillars. The latter can be dismantled together with the springs so that they are not reassembled later. Then blow off the dust from the motor sump with a hairdryer and clean it with a solution of a cleaner with water. In the inner side of each front wing, we drill a hole with a diameter of no more than 5 mm. Be careful, the holes do not need to be made in the wings themselves, otherwise the bolts will come out and stick out. The best thing to do is to make holes in the special blocks to which the upper parts of the wheel arches are attached.Next, blow through the holes with a hairdryer and attach the bar. As a result, it should end up close to the bottom of the Ssangyong motor sump. After that, the bar must be checked for stability. Take it firmly with one hand and pull it towards you. Do this on each part of the barbell. If the support does not dangle, then you can put the stands and wheels in place. When installing the racks, apply automotive lubricant to them. After installing the boom, many Actyon New owners noticed that with a sharp start from a standstill, the motor no longer shakes as it did before. This means that the mountings and the engine sump will be much less stressed. In addition, after installing an additional support, you will solve one of the main problems of Korean cars - the frequent breakage of radiator pipes.The vast majority of Actyon New owners complain about poor-quality interior upholstery. So, after the first year of operation, the factory material begins to pile and burn out under the sun. Of course, no one will like such a car. Partially replacing the standard material, you will only fix the problem for a short time. Therefore, it is best to completely replace the upholstery of the Korean SUV. To improve the interior of Actyon New, any modern interior upholstery material is suitable. It all depends on your preference and budget. For example, the popular Alcantara can be purchased for upholstery. It is very easy to install and easy to clean from stains. In addition, this material does not fade when exposed to sunlight.You can also install a flock or carpet. These materials are also distinguished by their unpretentious maintenance and long service life.There may be a lot of options, the main thing is not to buy fabric at a price below 400 rubles. per running meter. Otherwise, all your efforts and time will be wasted. To constrain the interior parts, we need to purchase glue Scotch weld or any other analogue. You also need to prepare scissors, a set of screwdrivers and keys. Further work consists of the following stages:

sewing and replacing seat covers;

hauling of doors;

replacing the upholstery on the armrests;

installation of a new headliner.

All work must be done in this sequence. The best way to replace seat covers is to buy ready-made items from any car store right away. After that, you need to dismantle the chairs and remove the old matter from them. Next, we put on new covers and securely fasten them in the lower part and on the sides of the seats. After that, it is better not to bring the seats into the cab, but go to the second stage of work. We dismantle the old door trim and clean the metal surface. After that, we apply a new material to the doors and cut it along the contour. We make the necessary holes in the workpiece. We apply a thin strip of glue along the edges of the doors and install a new skin.At the third stage, you need to cut off the material with which the armrests are tightened. We make patterns with new fabric and glue them to the Ssangyong armrests. Be careful - there shouldn't be any creases on the details. Before proceeding with the hauling of the ceiling of the cabin, you need to completely dismantle all the parts installed on it. Unscrew and remove the standard cover, handles and racks one by one. After that, carefully remove the old skin. We apply new material to it and cut out the part we need for the constriction. Then apply a thin layer of glue along the edges of the ceiling and immediately apply the cut material. After that, you can install the seats and continue driving the updated Actyon New.

As you know, when choosing a car, each of us pays attention not only to its configuration and price, but also to the degree of strength, reliability, as well as the cost of its regular maintenance and spare parts in the event of a breakdown. After all, it often happens that a car that is quite affordable at the price, after the purchase and expiration of the warranty period for it, begins what is called "crumble", and its regular repair costs the owner a very tidy sum. Often the "French" and "Italians" are guilty of this, poorly adapted to intensive use on our roads and in our climatic conditions. But those who perfectly feel and behave in modern Russian realities are Korean cars.

Over the past decades, Korea has gained fame as a global supplier of inexpensive, but very high quality and unpretentious in maintenance machines. At the same time, almost all the offspring of the Korean car industry are distinguished by an excellent basic configuration, original modern design, multiple options and high-quality assembly. And ssangyong parts are very inexpensive in comparison with similar parts for "Germans" or "Japanese". For example, take a look at this chiron tensioner. I think you will not argue that its price is more than democratic.

At the same time, the automotive industry appeared in Korea relatively recently. The first self-sufficient local car came off the assembly line of the Seoul plant only in the early sixties of the last century. However, after that, the automotive industry began to develop rapidly and very successfully. And the Hyundai-KIA concern, for example, last year generally became the world's fifth largest automaker in terms of capacity.

Today, automotive Korea is a giant enterprise throughout the country, producing rather popular all over the world, and especially in Russia, small cars and SUVs, as well as a lot of specialized factories that manufacture ssangyong spare parts, as well as parts of other brands and models of Korean cars.

At the same time, local auto giants adhere to a very moderate pricing policy, trying to reduce the cost of their own creations as much as possible without compromising their safety and quality, creating worthy competition to much more expensive Japanese and German manufacturers. And it should be noted that so far they are doing very well. Reliable quality and excellent equipment for a reasonable price are the hallmarks of most cars made in Korea. So if you are planning on buying an inexpensive but practical vehicle, be sure to pay attention to the models of Korean brands. And in service, they will cost you very inexpensively.
