Maintenance of KIA cars. Maintenance of the Kia Rio car: the number and list of works What is included in the first then Kia Rio

Maintenance in compliance with the work schedule established by the car manufacturer is a guarantee of long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely entrust this work to a car service. But a trip to a service station is always a cost of both time and money. Meanwhile, many car maintenance operations are simple technical and do not require great physical strength.

You don't need to be a car mechanic to perform most routine maintenance work. You will be amazed at how much time you will save if you do these jobs yourself. But even more astonished is the fact that the cost of some simple service operations can significantly exceed the cost of replacement parts.

So, for "Kia Rio" the manufacturer has adopted a frequency of maintenance, a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the cost of the set of works prescribed by the regulations for replacing consumables and checking systems, components and assemblies of a car with a mileage of 60 thousand km, depending on the ambitions of a car service, starts from 5000 rubles... And this is without taking into account the cost of the consumables themselves.

In addition, many service stations often strongly “recommend” or even openly impose work either not provided for by the regulations at all, or provided for carrying out at other vehicle runs. For example, for Kia Rio, service stations often impose the replacement of the cabin filter, while the manufacturer prescribes cleaning it every 15 thousand kilometers, and the operation to replace the filter of the ventilation, heating and air conditioning system is necessary only in case of mechanical damage. Therefore, we suggest you save your time and money, and for this we will understand the Kia Rio maintenance schedule and estimate the labor intensity of the work prescribed by the schedule.

Kia Rio Maintenance Schedule

I've always wondered: 5 years warranty for Rio - is it a marketing ploy or confidence in your product and how much does maintenance cost? When a Korean company announced such a long warranty a few years ago, it looked like an obvious "lure" for buyers. But on the other hand, looking back at my considerable life and professional experience in repair work, I understand that subject to ALL the regulatory requirements recommended by manufacturers, other components and assemblies in a car can go for many years, and if all recommendations are strictly followed, even decades ...

In this regard, I would like to recall one of my first (personal) cars - ZAZ-1102 Tavria. It so happened historically that this car had just started to appear on our roads, but at that time I myself was already a driver with great experience, and an experienced auto mechanic. And it also happened that, for example, I did not change the oil in the engine of this Tavria every prescribed 10,000 km, or five, but almost after two thousand mileage. What is the price? I confess that the butter was "free". Why not?

My neighbor in the garage at the same time with me bought exactly the same car, but changed the crankshaft liners almost after 20 thousand run. And when we opened the engine, it turned out that the compression rings from its pistons were sprinkled like seeds from a leaky pocket. By the way, this incident with a neighbor also pushed me to the fact that I changed the oil in the car quite often. In a word, it was a weak machine, there was enough repair work - if anyone went, he knows.

Why am I telling this story to people who are going to carry out TO-1 of the KIA Rio car? And to the fact that if something is prescribed by the plant, it is worth fulfilling it, then you will have a five- and seven-year guarantee.

And what does the manufacturer prescribe in the TO-1 list for the KIA Rio car? Not too much! When 15 thousand km appears on your odometer, or 12 months have passed since the purchase of your KIA Rio, it all depends on which comes first, you should:

1. change the engine oil; change the oil filter;
2. in the process of these works, the gasket under the drain plug of the engine crankcase must be replaced;
3. a new air and cabin filter must be installed.

How much does such a list of works cost?

If all these works are performed by an official dealer at his service, then it will cost you about 3-4 thousand rubles, that is, a hundred evergreen American money, depending on the region, region and ... from the dealer himself. And because the prices even at the official dealers of KIA will definitely differ - and very significantly.

Engine oil for KIA Rio. Volume?

According to the passport, it is needed - 3.3 liters. Or a little more. Or - a little less, it all depends on how the old oil is taken from your crankcase. If the drain plug is unscrewed for you, and the car in the inspection pit will stand slightly at a slope, and the lower point of the crankcase is at least level with the drain hole (and sometimes even lower), then up to 250 mg of old oil can remain in the crankcase. Vacuum sampling through the dipstick tube allows the oil to be sucked out of the system almost dry.

What is the risk of having old oil in the system?

Accelerated aging of newly filled oil, and this is a scientific and technical fact!

Why do I constantly talk about the official dealer of KIA, do not even mention the service station certified by him, and in particular, do not say such words as "carrying out TO-1 KIA Rio with my own hands"? And because the first technical services - both TO-1 and TO-2, as well as TO-3 and even sometimes the "fourth" and "fifth" TO - still "fit" within the terms and mileage of the warranty car. And if you decide to carry out any of the first maintenance work in your garage, then, firstly, not a single official dealer will dare to put a mark in your service book about such a maintenance, which, secondly, entails an unequivocal loss guarantees. Is the game worth the candle?

Oil filter

Its catalog number, 2630035503, does not need to be memorized. If you change the oil at an authorized dealer, then, believe me, no one will supply you with a fake, and the so-called analogs sometimes just go to the conveyors of automobile manufacturers through quite official channels, and already at the factory are packed in branded packages. And at the service of an authorized dealer or at a service station certified by him, they do not have the habit of "playing around" with diluting oils, changing filters and the like. For this, you can lose the certificate and lose the Dealer contract, and this is already serious! Often, the mechanics themselves monitor the observance of the technological map of TO-1 Rio, and sometimes one after another, so that grateful customers come back here again. And so as not to lose such a job!

Drain plug gasket

Her number - 2151323001 - also does not need to be memorized. But if you do MOT with your own hands in the garage (someday, not soon, but only after the warranty expires), then you should not forget to buy it first along with filters and engine oil, since at each MOT it is subject to replacement. These gaskets are usually made of mild steels or composites so that they flatten when clamped to provide reliable drip protection. The replacement of such gaskets is required by many world manufacturers, including, for example, the Volkswagen group of companies.

Air filter and cabin filter - to be replaced at TO-1

And you will be sure to perform this operation. But they may also ask: maybe we will not change? Do not change - there is a temptation - THAT will come out cheaper, but saving on replacing the cabin filter is a matter of your health, and the engine air filter obeys other laws. If you drive a little, and your annual mileage does not exceed 12-15 thousand kilometers, then you may also not be able to withstand the “12 months” standard. Such car owners are called "snowdrops", they put their car in a warm garage for the winter and forget about it until spring, but:

• if you live in a metropolis or just a big city;
• your annual mileage is 25-30 thousand km or more;
• you live in the far north, and even drive short distances so that the engine does not have time to warm up to operating temperature;
• the car works in other stressful conditions (you constantly drag a trailer, for example), -… then not only the air filter, but also the oil filter, as well as the rest of the list of works should be done even more often than the manufacturer recommends.

Why?

From personal experience. Most of our edition cars operate in "normal" operating conditions. But there is one Mitsubishi Lancer that constantly travels with journalists and an operator to autocross and rally competitions. It happens “in the fields” so often, and there it is always so dusty and dirty, and there are up to a dozen stages during the season that the air filter in this car is changed - almost two or three times a summer ... And it looks , believe me, the way air filters that have served for three periods of time do not look, but in other, normal, conditions. What is air filter dust? This is an abrasive that can turn your engine into a set of pieces of iron in a fairly short time. I don’t need to say how much it costs to repair the engine.

For all the prescribed points of the automaker's regulations, this is the guarantee of a long and trouble-free operation of your Kia Rio.

These items include a list of work and operations with the replacement of fluids. And each MOT, depending on the mileage of the car and the period of its operation, carries different points.

Kia has taken a mileage of 15,000 kilometers as a basis for the frequency of maintenance of the Rio model.

Interesting! The first service, respectively, is carried out precisely with such a mileage, and then along a mathematical progression. Let's take a look at what the maintenance grid looks like on the Kia Rio and what regulatory features the manufacturer prescribes for Kia dealers.

First THAT. Maintenance Kia Rio with a mileage of 15,000 km (year of manufacture from 2012 to 2015)

The first maintenance involves a small amount of work on replacing fuels and lubricants and components, as well as lubrication components:

Also, the manufacturer has identified several mandatory checks of systems and components for the quality of their work:

• air filter attachment;
• drive system;
• Check point (for automatic transmission);
• tire pressure;
• steering;
• lighting system;
• air conditioning.

Cleaning work is also carried out individual elements:

• drain holes of the body.

The Kia Rio maintenance grid at 15,000 kilometers implies a minimum number of fluid and component replacement operations. The main focus of dealers is aimed at identifying factory defects.

It is worth noting that the schedule of each vehicle maintenance provides, in addition to the vehicle mileage, and the frequency of time.

Important! No matter how much your Rio has driven, the warranty always provides for service at least once a year.

If it is important for you that the car remains under warranty and you rarely drive it out of the parking lot, you need to periodically remember how much time has passed since the last official inspection by the dealer's specialists.

The cost of TO 1 Kia RIO it is not as high as for cars of more prestigious brands, but it cannot be said that it is too low, there is also no fixed rate, and depending on the dealer you choose, the price will change.

And so, why, in fact, is it necessary to undergo regular maintenance on your car? Naturally, in order to maintain it in good, working condition, but will not forget the fact that for a huge number of people - MOT at KIA RIO from an authorized dealer is only necessary to "tick" in the service book to preserve the car warranty.

Let's not be cunning, most would prefer to service their car in a third-party service 2 times cheaper, but it is the presence of a guarantee that restrains them. But let's see if it is really so expensive to carry out routine maintenance at the OD.

The cost of TO 1 on the Kia Rio 2013

Judging by the surveys of the owners of this car, the minimum the cost of TO-1 at KIA RIO is 4000 rubles. This amount includes replacing the engine oil, replacing the oil filter, as well as broaching and checking all components and assemblies of the car.

Separately, I would like to note for those people who think that they are not doing anything during maintenance. When I handed over my car for routine maintenance, I deliberately turned off the license plate light bulb and what do you think? When the car was returned to me - it worked, everything was connected back. That is, the masters carefully examine your car. It's the same with brake pads and other small consumables.

List of works carried out at TO - 1

As I said, at the first MOT, the main work is changing the engine oil. Naturally together with an oil filter. Also, you are obliged to clean the cabin filter mesh or suggest replacing it directly with a filter. The fact is that to reduce the cost of the car, it was originally supplied with a mesh. As it is now - it is not known. And this mesh retains dust rather weakly, but copes with debris perfectly. Of course, if there is an opportunity, it is better to replace it.

Yes, if you read the forums, then some car owners managed to do MOT for 10,000 rubles. here, as they say - "the owner is the master", some put expensive filters, which cost 1500r. what can you say, many have even changed the brake pads! But this is their own business.

1. If you decide to service your car yourself, then, most likely, the question of the cost of carrying out maintenance at an authorized dealer is not interesting for you, but in this ...
2. It distinguishes and distinguishes from the whole range of Kia models - the Kia Ceed car - its attractive appearance, good filling inside, at a relatively affordable cost of the car ...
3. We are often asked where is the best place to service and repair Kia? It all depends on several factors, namely, the age of the car, the complexity of the repair and ...

The price of the first MOT for a KIA Rio 3 car is not as high as, for example, for more prestigious and expensive car brands. The time limit set aside for its passage is not big. In any case, it cannot be said that the first maintenance will be very cheap, it all depends on the dealer you choose and his prices.

But do you need to regularly undergo maintenance on your car? The answer is unequivocally positive and there are two main reasons for this:

• you keep your KIA Rio in working order;
• passing maintenance at an authorized KIA Rio dealer, you receive the appropriate marks in your service book, and this, in turn, allows you to keep the car warranty.

Of course, mostly motorists would prefer to have their car serviced at a third-party car service, since the cost of the procedure would be much cheaper. In this case, the availability of a guarantee plays an important role. Is it really much more expensive to pass MOT from official dealers? Let's take a look at this issue.

Maintenance cost

Let's first figure out what the main work is carried out with TO-1 Kia Rio 3 (KIA Rio):

• replacement of the oil filter;
• checking and broaching of components and assemblies of the machine;
• Change of oil.

All this pleasure will cost about 4000-5000 rubles.

When to pass the first technical inspection

The first maintenance after purchasing the car must be completed after 15,000 km. If it so happens that you have not covered the required mileage within a year, then the first technical inspection must be completed in time - a year after purchase. Of course, there is no need to observe everything day after day, and kilometer to kilometer. A slight error in the passage of maintenance is allowed - 500 kilometers or 1 month.

List of works on TO-1

Above, we have already figured out that during the first MOT, the main job is to change the oil and oil filter. Additionally, they must clean the mesh from the filter in the cabin, or they may even suggest replacing it with a filter. The bottom line is that in the initial configuration there is only a grid - this is done with the sole purpose of reducing the cost of the car. By the way, the mesh in the cabin copes well with debris, but the dust retains little. It is desirable, of course, to change such a mesh to a full-fledged filter, the cost of which is relatively small.

Quality of work

The quality of the maintenance carried out largely depends on the conscientiousness of the workers and the car service itself. As an example, I will give one of the reviews about the TO Kia Rio (KIA Rio):

before going through MOT, I deliberately turned off the backlight of the room. And oddly enough, after the return of my Kia, the room backlight worked and was connected

From the above, we conclude that official dealers carefully carry out maintenance for their customers. Still, reputation is more important in this matter.

Judging by the reviews of some car owners, maintenance came out about 10,000 rubles, everything is simple - some just put expensive filters, some even managed to change the brake pads. As they say, it's everyone's business here.
Unplanned repair work is also possible - this is if, during the inspection of the car by the master, he discovers any malfunctions. Naturally, additional repairs will increase the overall cost of maintenance. Be sure to remember that additional repairs take place strictly with your consent, so if you doubt something, then you can refuse with confidence - they have no right to force you to do it.

How long does it take

The time limit for maintenance is about two hours. During this time, the master will usually carry out the necessary replacements of consumables and check the overall condition of your Kia Rio 3 (KIA Rio). If no additional interventions are required, then this time will be enough with your head.

Also, if you have a certain distrust of the car service workers or you are simply the kind of person who is used to keeping everything under control in life, then you can be present during the maintenance. Such a request should not be denied to you.
