What represents the Body Suzuki Swift. Where the Swift suzuki is collected. Meet the SUZUKI SWIFT SPORT model at the factory landfill

Hello everybody!

Website I read long ago and always listen to what they write.

Next, the story of the new Suzuki SWIFT model 2011. In the maximum possible configuration: 7 pillows, cruise control, climate control, opening / closing doors and ignition / starter without key; Motor, CD + MP3 + USB, Bluetooth, Currency Stability, Seat Heated.

I decided to write a review, because I did not find the description of this model on the site and decided to fill the space.

Problem of choice

The car was chosen for his wife, as a second car in a family to travel, to school, kindergarten, store. The main criteria for choosing: automatic and small dimensions for convenient parking in the city center, preferably a small fuel consumption. The purchase budget was defined in advance as "reasonable" for the second car in the family, and this is within 15-18k $. The choice fell on the summer months (before the start of the school year), so there was time to weigh everything and everything. It is also important that I, too, it was nice to drive the second car.

Why such a choice and unhappy? We have in the family for more than 5 years Subaru Forester. 2006 2.0 automatic transmission on which the wife went. All these years I had service cars. In the summer he changed the work and lost the privileges in the form of a service car. Since the budget did not allow to swall as a more serious for himself than Forester, we decided that we would buy a car to my wife.

Originally looked at 2-3 years of middle class cars in a given budget (Golf, Focus, Corolla, Octavia, etc.). There are no preferences to brands, Ponte too: nothing but a cold calculation in the form of initial cost, gasoline consumption, maintenance costs (a set of cost of service, reliability and price of spare parts). I read a bunch of reviews, it seems to collected and a list of potential cars, but nothing fitted: either the price is unreal, or the machines are broken and rolled. Somehow passing by dealers decided that it was worth to go and consider new cars within the budget or with the possibility of credit / leasing. By the way, for last years It was possible to assess the trouble-free ownership of new cars. There was a service almer classic 1.5 gasoline on mechanics and FORD FUSION. 1.4 TDCI on mechanics for his wife. I loved Fusion very much for all his qualities, but unfortunately my wife did not make friends with his mechanics. I had to take the Forester machine.

Inspection of new cars began from far away: New Focus 1,6 automatic transmission, Yeti 1.2 DSG, Mazda 3 1,6 automatic transmission, Octavia 1.6 automatic transmission, Juke 1.6 CVT. True, with my budget, everything is in primary configurations. Then approaching more real options: Polo 1.2, Fabia 1,2, Fiesta 1.4, SWIFT 1,2, Mazda2. He tested all the cars, I will not say anything wrong, but in the overall competition won SWIFT due to the configuration at a price, at which competitors just smoked at the sidelines. The choice also influenced the bright appearance and determination of his wife - take at first glance. As a result of September 1, we leave the salon on a new car.

Appearance

Maximum evaluation, as it is undoubtedly a very bright car. Especially in the color of "cherry metallic", with a factory tinting, on 16 "cast discs.

Safety

Put the four only due to subjective sensations. After service jeeps (patrol, pajero) and personal Forester-A in Swift-E boarding below, the car is less, below and already. Unwittingly feel the proximity of the neighbors in the flow. Although from a technical point of view, everything is at the height (airbag, ABS, the system of course stability). In winter, riding on any coatings was without problems. With my behavior, the car did not scare.

Comfort

Here is the puncture full. Machine is not just tough, she highly Hard. The moves of the suspension are hard and in addition short. The front suspension closes even on harmless gentle waves at ordinary urban speeds. I'm silent about the pit, since the shaking on each road crack is accompanied by a question did not remember something, did not break the tire? A couple of times in deep pits fastened until the body hit on the asphalt. In the city I see several similar cars, almost every front wheels with cones. Also puncture with wheel size. When I took it perfectly understood what to find winter tires The size of 185 / 55R16 will be problematic, but not as much. They are not in tire dealers, even under the order. Brought friends to order Michelin 195 / 50r16 from Germany, arithmeticically almost native size. The original size even was not found there in a free sale. The dealer informally offered the quantity of 215 / 50r16, do not believe - climbs, but the car looks a utter.

Very comfortable front seats, with strong side support both back and hips. Ideal for people are low and no more than the average physique. More than confident that major representatives of humanity (\u003e 185cm and\u003e 100 kg) in the proposed buckets will simply do not fit. I am placed myself without any problems, although I never traveled behind. Children do not complain, there is enough expanse.

Landing behind the wheel pick up very easily, the seat is adjustable in height, and the steering wheel in height and by departure. Salon without sizes, hard plastic, with good fit. While nothing creaks, not falling off. On the glovers, the pockets seem to be everything ok, except that there is no extra sockets, which is accustomed to in your forester.

Highly little trunk, literally, a couple of killes with shopping from the store. A set of replaceable rubber climbs only with folded rear seats. In the same Fusion, the kit was located entirely vertically, not the touch seats and with the closure of the shelf.

Comfort by temperature is very good at all times. In winter, when stored on the street, the salon warms up in a couple of minutes, just until you clean the car from snow. Summer air conditioner also quickly cools a small interior. To work the engine (1.2l, 94 hp) the air conditioner seems to be randomly affected. On Almers, a classic 1.5l air conditioner had to be disconnected during overtakes, as it significantly selected the power of the engine.

Here I want to celebrate a very small car clearance. I definitely did not measure, but you will not climb the front bumper. Very low spoiler lip and goes far behind the front wheels. I use 2 Other features of the design: back to the border rear, the benefit of the rear wheels almost at the same level with rear bumper by external gabarites. And second front bumper It has strong bevel angles, which allows you to make it close to the curb in parking at an angle.

I am not Meloman, but the quality of music is the best of everything I drove with a regular sound. This applies simultaneously to the radio, and to the player. The possibility of reading MP3 from the flash drive can not but rejoice.

I evaluate sound insulation as good. The engine is heard only on high revs. There are sounds from the middle turnover in the salon. exhaust systembut not from the engine. Various cotton creates an impression of an unstable engine. If you open a window and ride along the wall / fence at high speed, it is obvious that everything is normal.

Challenges

With such a rigid suspension, the machine rulits excellently, naturally, provided the perfect road surface. The management is very sharp, pleasant, predicted. At reasonable speeds of 100-120, the car is very stable under the condition of good road surface. There is a system of course stability, but worked only in winter. On dry asphalt did not bring to the system's response modes.

The brakes are very gentle and chain, grab quickly and rigidly with a very not strong touch and with a small pedal. The braking force is rather dosed by moving the pedal than the effort of pressing the pedal. The car has a function of preventing a rollback back when attaching to the mountain. On many automata it is implemented through a box that transmits a small moment on the wheels and keeps the car. At the same time, the brakes are not involved. SWIFTA for holding brakes are applied. The system works flawlessly on the slides, but interferes when driving in a pull in traffic. After braking, the machine will not move from the place if you do not add gas. Forester here is easier and more pleasant - let go of the brake pedal, rolled, again the brake.

The ancient ancient (4 steps), but it copes with work well, the switching is very soft, practical are not felt when the speed set. Down is not so soft. If you need rapid acceleration, it is possible only for the 2nd gear. Croskok from the 4th on the second at the kickdown comes with a powerful jerk. A set of speed from scratch is not impressive, especially sluggish after 80 km / h. But up to 70-80 km / h makes no lag in the urban stream.

I tried out several times from the city, unfortunately, due to the quality of the road, the long-range distillation is not her bitch. Very big risk stay without wheels or suspension, although on European roads everything is fine and consumption about 5.5 l / 100km.

Reliability

So far nothing to say, the mileage is very children. Bulk gasoline and go. In winter, started with street storage and frosts to -25 without any problems.

Do not like the sound of the signal at all. On the new Machine He is a squeaky, and after the winter it probably flooded with water and now also with hoarse. I will change to some non-original sound with a lower sound.

Fuel consumption

The question of the consumption specifically brought separately. One of the selection criteria was just a fuel consumption, which was declared significantly lower than that of competitors. Real reviews I did not find it in the network, so I trusted to competitors who are strongly going up from the manufacturer's declared, norms and hoped that 1,2l would not be very voracious. Everything is normal in the norm after the winter and running. In the warm time, when running it was up to 10 l / 100 km around the city. In winter, with warming up and slippets when leaving / arrived in the courtyard and up to 12 l / 100km. Finally, the warm weather came, the runoff is passed and even with air conditioning in the city eats 7.0 - 7.2, including traffic jams. This is the result of measuring on checks, the flightcomputer is more optimistic about 0.5 liters. I believe that such a consumption is more than acceptable for gasoline on the machine. It was better with the cost of consumption only on Fusion - no more than 5.6 diesel fuel in the city on the mechanics. Worst of all (if you relate to the size of the car and to the engine volume) is an almera, which in the summer below 11l / 100km did not go down.

Look like that's it. If there are questions - I will answer.

In conclusion, I want to say that we are changing with my wife on the weekend. She craves the Forestera power, and I want a pleasant mood and honed control that gives SWIFT.

In 1984, in Japan, the serial release of the compact front-wheel drive hatchback Suzuki Cultus began. A year later, this car appeared on the European market under the name Suzuki SWIFT, and the Concern "General Motors", as part of cooperation with the Japanese manufacturer, sold this model with the names of Chevrolet Sprint in the USA, Pontiac Firefly and Suzuki Forsa in Canada, Holden Barina in Australia.

Initially, SWIFT / Cultus was only three-door and equipped with a three-cylinder engine volume of one liter, developed 60 liters. from. Later the lineup Replenished with a five-door version, a more powerful four-cylinder 1.3-liter engine appeared (64-73 l.) In 1986, the model was modernized, as a result of which the rear spring suspension was replaced by independent. After changing generations in 1988, the first Suzuki SWIFT continued to produce in Colombia (until 2004).

2nd generation, 1988-2000

Suzuki SWIFT second generation debuted in 1988. Buyers began to offer not only three and five-door hatchbacks, but also a sedan, and a convertible. A new 1,6-liter motor with a power of 92 liters has been added to the engines that have been added from the predecessor. from. Also in the model range appeared version with fully drive.

In 1990, the machine for the American market began to be produced at the plant in Canada, and in 1992 the production of "SwIFTS" in Hungary started. In addition, the assembly of machines under different brands It was organized in India, Colombia and Pakistan. In 1996, a deep restyling model was held for the European market, where SWIFT was sold until 2004.

In 1995-2001, Suzuki SWIFT was produced specifically for the USA and Canada. A larger car with a sedan bodies and three-door hatchback was also sold under the names of Pontiac Firefly, Geo Metro and Chevrolet Metro.

3 generation, 2000-2004

In 2000, the name Suzuki SWIFT was decided to use on the internal on japanese market - So called a new five-door Hatchback with a high roof. But beyond Japan, the car was known (in Europe, including in Russia), (in Europe), Chevrolet Cruze (in Asia) and Holden Cruze (in Australia).

The machine was equipped with 1.3 or 1.5 liter engines, the drive was complete or front. In 2003, the model range was expanded by the version with a three-door body.

4 generation 2004-2010

The penultimate generation of the model was produced from 2004 to 2010 with Japan, Hungary, India, Pakistan and Japan, and at most markets it was called Suzuki SWIFT. Japanese buyers were offered only cars with a five-door body, in Europe there were also "three-door", and the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire was created specifically for the Indian market, a MARUTI SUZUKI SWIFT DZIERE was created. The line of motors consisted of gasoline engines 1.2, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6, as well as 1,3-liter turbodiesel. Alternatively, a mechanical transmission could be selected "AUTOMA" or variator. There was a full-wheel drive version.

5 generation, 2010-2016

SUZUKI SWIFT Hatchback Fifth generation since 2010, in 2013 the car was slightly updated. Machines for the European market are collected in Hungary.

In Russia, the car officially sold until 2015, we were offered both three-door and five-door hatchbacks. The only motor available in our market - gasoline 1.2 (94 liters) in combination with "mechanics" or "machine", but buyers could acquire not only the front-wheel drive, but also the all-wheel drive car. Prices for Swift began with 584,000 rubles.

The versions for the markets of other countries are also equipped with 1.4 and 1.6 engines or 1.3 liter turbodiesel, and in India, an option with a sedan body.

This becomes - sUZUKI review SWIFT of the 5th generation, the car is produced since 2010, in 2013, a restyling model was produced. Presented the pros and cons of the car based on the reviews of the owners.

Also in a few words told about the appearance of the new Suzuki SWIFT 2017 model year.

Causes of popularity

Suzuki Swift - Compact a car urban type, although in Russia it is not produced, however, russian roads It is often found.

Popularity Machine has gained a very high maneuverability, small size, original design, car has excellent technical characteristics, Ideal for exploitation in an urban feature.

For the first time, Suzuki Swift was represented by the world in 1983, translated from English SWIFT means "fast", "fast", "rapid".

The first Japanese cars of this model were produced in the body three-door hatchback, equipped with a liter motor capacity 50 horse power.

In the future, SWIFT also began to be made in the modifications of five-door hatchback and sedan, and in the line power aggregates Gasoline motors 1300, 1400 and 1500 cm3 appeared.

A bit of history

The Suzuki SWIFT-1 car was produced for almost 6 years, the Japanese autocontracean began to release cars of the second generation in 1989.

In the 1995th assembly japanese cars It was established in Hungary, and in the 2000th, the production of third-generation small ages began.

The new model was produced both in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, in HT51S and HT81S bodies (three-door hatchback), HR51S and HR81S (five-door hatchback), outside of Japan was known as Suzuki IGNIS.

Suzuki Swift-4 was produced from 2004 to 2010, assembly this car It was carried out not only in Japan and Hungary, but also in China, Pakistan, India, Malaysia and Indonesia, the car is presented in the Hatchback and sedan bodies.

In India, the model was named Maruti SWIFT Dzire, in China - Changan Suzuki.

Depending on the configuration and manufacturer of the car, the car could be equipped with one of the four types of gasoline engine (volume from 1.2 to 1.6 liters), the transmission was offered in three versions - MCPP, automatic transmission or CVT).

Swift in the fifth generation is produced since 2010, the plant in Hungary supplies cars for Europe, the assembly of the sports version has been established from 2012.

In 2013, the model was restyled, in a modernized car:

• the front bumper has been updated;
• l-shaped LED lights appeared in the front heads;
• another fabric seat upholstery has become;
• changed drawing wheel disks R16.

December 2016 Japanese car company Presented Suzuki SWIFT 2017 model year: the car of the sixth generation is characterized by original appearance, new model received modernized engines, more thoughtful system passive securityAn enhanced electronic "stuffing".

Despite all the innovations, the manufacturer tried not to change price policiesTo buy Swift Suzuki in Japan at a price of 1.34 million yen (which is approximately 700 thousand rubles).

Suzuki SWIFT-5 restyling

Swift 5th generation (restyling) is a sedan or three / five-door hatchback, but in Russia a sedan to meet is extremely rare.

The car is equipped with gasoline four-cylinder engines:

• K12b (1.2 l);
• K14b i4 (1.4 l);
• M16A i4 (1.6 L).

There is also a diesel version, the power unit is presented with Multijet 1.3 liters.

Depending on the configuration, a 5 or 6-speed MCPP, ACPP-4 or variator with imitation can be installed on the machine. manual switching Transmissions (7 steps).

Japanese salra car Extremely economically consumes fuel, in urban mode, fuel consumption is 6.1 liters per 100 km, on the track, gasoline consumption is reduced to 4.1 liters.

A type fuel system - Injector, inline engine, is located under the hood cross.

Hardware Suzuki Swift

The creators of the SWIFT 5 model paid considerable attention attention, even in basic configuration GL here seven airbegs are provided:

The cost of Suzuki SWIFT GLX - from 715 thousand rubles, in all-wheel drive execution - from 769 thousand rubles.

Interior and trunk

Luggage compartment Swift - "Achilles Fifth" japanese car, It is more than compact, its useful amount is only 211 liters.

The loading height is uncomfortable, since quite high, and the small-sized spareside is hidden very deeply under the polik.

With unfinished rear seats The cargo compartment capacity increases to 875 liters, but the flat floor does not work, and it's not too much anyway for cargo.

On the back row of the seats, the place is also not enough, the increasing passengers feel the lack of space both in the knees and above the head.

Landing on the "gallery" is inconvenient, because the doorway is narrow, there is no rear central armrest, but it is understandable - for compactness you have to pay.

But on maneuverability in the urban stream, SWIFT cars does not know equal, and the hatchback is very simple and easy to park.

On the front seats, everything is different - here there are enough space, and the driver can get driving with all the amenities.

The only drawback - the lever is unsuccessfully located. manual brakes, I have to reach it.

The material of the instrument panel and plastic is hard, but rather high-quality, the execution of the cabin as a whole does not cause complaints.

The instruments on the informative panel, the information is easy to read, controlling such a discomfort car does not deliver.

Despite the small sizes of the auto visibility for the driver are good - side mirrors of sufficient sizes, windshield Located under the "necessary" slope, and body racks do not twist visibility.

Adjusting the electric camera is made with the help of the joystick, on the way the car rides confidently, does not "grow out", the steering wheel is well.

Suzuki Swift Technical Specifications

SUZUKI SWIFT engines were installed on 4 generations of cars. There are 7 different power units installed on the car. Currently, the following brands of motors are put on the Swift: K10C, K12C, K14C. Engine volumes in this case: 1.0 l, 1.2 l, 1.4 liters. By itself, the Suzuki Swift car is produced since 1984 (1 generation). The second generation was presented in 1988, the third - in 2010, the fourth - in 2016.

Car overview

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!

The fourth generation debuted in March 2016. The hatchback is built on the Heartect platform, which is also used in the production of Baleno and IGNIS. Available with engine 1.2 and 1.0 liters. The sports version of the car is presented in 2017 on the Frankfurt Motor Show. It has a volume of 1.4 liters and 140 horsepower. Equipped with automatic I. mechanical gearbox. In the sports version there is another front spoiler, wide tires, 17-inch wheels, other rear spoiler and front bumper.

Externally, the Japanese is similar to the popular MINI model. Similar lines are observed along a flat roof, a vertical rear rack and a pallet hood. Widely arranged wheels give a kind of highlight. Volumelights immediately rush into the eye, and the blowed body of the body complement the image.

In the cabin car surprisingly a lot of space. On comfortable seats, a deer man can be located. Luggage compartment Not large (213 liters), but if necessary, it increases the folding of the seats to 526 liters. Driver seat are adjustable. The adjustment features are also available for pedals and steering wheels.

Interestingly, part of cars (early versions) Swift was produced in Japan as Wagon R. In Europe, the car was originally assembled in the hatchback body, the size is slightly exceeding the dimensions of the familiar swift. In the United States and Canada, the brand is still sold under the name Daewoo Kalos. Swift in European countries is attached to the segment, in the British Islands refers to the class of supermini. It was produced not only in Japan, the United States of America and Canada, but also in India, Pakistan, China.

In India vehicle Collected Suzuki Dzire. In the early stages, the automaker was known as Maruti Suzuki SWIFT Dzire. Subcompact sedan is made in India since 2008. A total of 14 car options are collected, including engines working not only on gasoline, but also on diesel fuel.

To reduce the cost of the sedan, it was shortened to 4 meters. As a result, fell under tax breaks for a similar category of cars. The shortened swift is equipped with a mechanical transmission of 5 speeds. Sold modifications with an automatic transmission. In the category of category Standard, emergency braking system, EBD, ABS, 2 airbags are usually included.

Saltra, who conquered the hearts of motorists around the world, is also going to Hungary. A car with a cheeky character and a bright design in this case is known as Magyar Suzuki. Auto, like when assembling in Japan, is equipped with modern security systems. Airbags, side curtains, seat belts with pretensioners and force limiters, ABS braking system. In general, the security of passengers and the driver pays great attention.

Engines installed on Suzuki SWIFT

The engine number, for example, from Suzuki SWIFT (2006) is located on the platform looking at the radiator, on the connection of the checkpoint and the engine.

The most common aggregates

One of the most common engines - K12B. Installed on auto various complete sets 2 and 3 generations Suzuki Swift. It is known for its relatively small fuel consumption, which when driving in a gentle mode, averages 6 liters per 100 km.

With dynamic movement, the flow rate naturally increases. The acceleration of the car with a similar engine is dynamic and rapid. Automatic box The gears switches without jerks, delays and any complications. At a speed of 150 km / h there is still a supply of power.

Another popular unit installed on Swift - M13A. More often found on earlier versions of auto (1 and 2nd generation). Also famous for its reliability. In some cases, the variator brings. The problem may go when replacing fluid in the checkpoint. With proper maintenance does not cause problems. The replacement of oil and consumables leads to the fact that there are no breakdowns for 100 thousand km of mileage.

Selecting the engine and gearbox (comparison of pluses and minuses)

Like any other engine, Suzuki Swift has some pros and cons who should pay attention to. In general, DVS is distinguished by high reliability. The resource is large enough. In the market of used units, the motor is most often found with a volume of 1.3 liters.

With this volume, the unit often suffers from the breakdown of the camshaft sensor. In this case, the engine refuses to start. The problem is very common. It comes to the point that the camshaft sensor has to be changed every 50 thousand km. In general, the engine volume of 1.3 liters is surprisingly dynamic. Up to 100 km / h accelerates in 10 seconds.

All versions sUZUKI engines SWIFT suffer from a generator breakdown. The failure of this equipment occurs due to the fact that the generator is in the rear of the compartment. Access of fresh air with such a layout is difficult, which leads to temperature drops and dust accumulation. Incorrect layout brings to the point that the rotor is blocked tightly with the subsequent enclosure of the generator.

Another problem of all versions is the absence of hydrocompanator cylinders. Constructive drawback complicates engine maintenance. Each 40 thousand km is required to regulate the thermal gaps of the valves. At best, such a procedure is required 1 time per 100 thousand km. Reliability of Suzuki Swift engines is provided, including a timing chain, which in practice has proven its reliability in contrast to the usual belt.

SUZUKI SWIFT engines are available in combination with multiple gearboxes:

• Mechanical (5 speeds)
• Automatic (4 speeds)
• Robotic (5 speeds)

Robotic box is installed only in a pair with a 1.3 liter engine. It is considered the least reliable. Requires repair on average every 50-60 thousand km. Even for such a complex unit, it is very small. In addition, robotic transmission works in such a way that jerks are constantly felt. Nevertheless, the robot has one plus - works in such a way that the engine consumes less gasoline than when driving with the manual transmission.

In turn, the automatic and mechanical PPC has established itself from the best side. Reliability is tested in practice by many motorists. Of the disadvantages, the short-life of the clutch is distinguished - not higher than 100 thousand km of mileage. For a car with a small power and a small weight, this is clearly not enough.

The engine with a mechanical checkpoint often suffers to the output of their system of the primary shaft bearing. About this disadvantage signals a hum of 5 transmission while moving, if you release the gas pedal. The automatic transmission is the most reliable of all the transmissions installed on the Swift. Can pass up to 300 thousand km. It is enough to change the oil every 60 thousand km.

In general terms, Suzuki cars are attracted by their original design. Attracts its vigorous character, reliability and lack of significant drawbacks. Exception - except robotic gearbox. Provided the timely service of the car with ease of 100 thousand km almost without breakdowns.

Vehicle is ideal for urban use. It is not particularly suitable for trips to nature, as it has a small clearance (155 mm). The most reliable is the aggregate of 1.5 liters. with automatic transmission. At the same time find on secondary market easier cars With an engine with a volume of 1.3 liters and a robotic transmission.

Suzuki SWIFT - a car reliable and hardy. Among other performance advantages should be allocated for a reasonable fuel consumption, the presence of a large number of substitutes with original spare parts and simplicity of service work. All these features do not require excessive costs. You can save by taking part of the concerns about maintenance and repair. This is not difficult at all.

Suzuki SWIFT equipped petrol engines volume 1.3, 1.5 or 1.6 liters and 1,3-liter Fiatovsky diesel. The most popular - gasoline volume of 1.3 liters. Replace the air filter, oil or cooling fluid will not be difficult. More complex operations include adjustment of the valve clearance. If the car is not operated on gas, then, as a rule, there is no need to 100,000 km in adjustment. When working with the main obstacle, corrosion of bolts can be corrosion - problems with their unscrewing occur.

One of the conditions for maintaining high reliability SUZUKI SWIFT - Strict compliance with the requirements maintenancerecommended by Suzuki. About experiments with an increase in service intervals cannot be speech. It must be carried out at least 1 time per year or 10,000 km.

Oil filter

The filter has easy access from the car. Cost - from 200 rubles. The engine lubrication system uses 3.9 liters of oil viscosity 5W-30.

Replacing candles

Nickel candles are used in the ignition system (replacement every 30,000 km) or iridium (every 90,000 km). First type correspond candles ngk. BKR6E-11 (about 100 rubles per piece), the second - NGK IFR6J-11 (from 500 rubles per piece). Candles are hidden under the air filter. Also need to be removed upper cover. Next, you need a key to 16 mm with a long nozzle and extension, as the candles are located in deep "wells".

Air filter

Replacement air filter Does not take more than 10 minutes. It is enough to free the latches on the housing and push it back to the back. The cost of the filter is from 300 rubles. Replacement - every 45,000 km.

Transmission

For mechanical box Transmissions will need 2.2 liters transmission Oil class GL-4. Control I. flashing plug Located in the top of the box housing.

Coolant

Glycol based liquid requires replacement every 45,000 km or 3 years. Capacity system 6.2 liters. At the bottom of the radiator in the middle of the radiator is a comfortable drain. Expansion tank Located next to the battery.

Brake pads
