Male-fry: first test of the new generation Kia Picanto hatchback. Kia Picanto (2003–2011): juicy details What is the service life of Kia Picanto engines

Main parameter the condition of the unit used is an abbreviation translated as used. That is, any product that cannot be considered new because it has already been in use for some time.

Buying a used one definitely carries risks that can significantly reduce your costs before purchasing a new spare part. And since each unit is given a period for inspection and installation, you can always get your money back for the product if you are not satisfied with it. Decision to buy new spare part, Used or restored is up to you.

WHAT MILEAGE is the most popular question when purchasing, in our opinion. Unfortunately, in all countries, before a sale or trade-in transaction, a procedure for reducing or “twisting” the mileage is applied. The most important and main factor is not mileage, but operating conditions, as well as intervals service(replacement of special fluid and consumables).

YEAR OF ISSUE - this parameter indicates the year and month of manufacture of the car. There are methods for approximate calculation of mileage per year, but as practice shows, these are just numbers on which the condition and remaining life of the engine do not depend.

Even knowing the year of manufacture and mileage of the unit, you will not be able to determine the performance of the unit.

You can, of course, make up the mileage and not confirm it with anything. But our company is not one of those who mislead its customers. A salesperson must be honest with his clients, however.

APPEARANCE is also not an indicator of the performance of the unit (engine, automatic transmission, manual transmission). By appearance one can only guess technical condition unit, but NOT more than that. Can see external defects housings, attachments, but not internal wear.

There is an opinion that any engine can be started on a “test stand”. Starting the engine is possible outside the vehicle, but only if there is a specific engine everyone necessary systems(Engine ECU, electrical wiring, fuel equipment, fuse box, battery, radiator, etc.), I would like to note that they are different for each engine, and there is no universal stand for any engine.

For these reasons, in order to check the engine or transmission for performance, it is necessary, at a minimum, to start the car, give it a load, take a test drive, and this is only possible after installing the unit directly on the car.

Before installing a used unit, it is recommended to inspect and replace rubber technical products (seals, timing belts, spark plugs, armor wires, etc.) replacement is also recommended electronic sensors, attachments, since it is not always possible to protect these elements from transportation defects.

Modern engine or transmission usually have multiple sensors electronic control which control the operation of the unit in different conditions operation and failure of one of them affects correct operation the unit as a whole.

Can it be installed here?

No. We are only a direct supplier of used spare parts.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated June 26, 2018 N 399 “On approval of the Rules state registration automoto Vehicle and trailers for them in the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Russian Federation, a sample form for a certificate of vehicle registration and invalidation of regulatory legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and certain provisions of regulatory legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia”

17. Registration of a vehicle, changes in its registration data associated with the replacement of license plate units are carried out taking into account the requirements of paragraph 4 of these Rules on the basis of the agreement concluded in the prescribed manner agreement or other documents certifying ownership of the vehicle and (or) frame, body (cabin) and confirming the possibility of admitting them to participate in traffic on the roads common use on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In case of replacement of a vehicle engine with a similar one in type and model, entering information into data banks about vehicle owners about its number is carried out by the registration division of the State Traffic Inspectorate during production registration actions based on the results of the inspection without submitting documents certifying ownership of it.

On secondary market"Picanto" hits more often from female hands. Hence the approach to choosing a car: first of all, we look at the body. If you notice signs of corrosion, double your attention! The Picanto body is very durable; even after six years of use it will not simply bloom. Rust is a sure sign of body repair.

The second sign is often electrical wiring. If the version is not the most equipped, but there are extra pads hanging on the harness, then the harness has probably been changed. Most likely due to damage in an accident. Spare parts are supplied with just such a single harness, designed for maximum configuration cars, but they don’t install it without a good reason: wiring without a multiplex is extremely reliable.

Electronics are more of a hassle. Failures of the speed sensor installed on the right front knuckle and generating a signal for the speedometer are possible. In addition to the twitching of the arrow in the version without anti-lock braking system the engine malfunction lamp will light up, and with it the brakes (the signal is processed in different blocks management). In most cases, the defect is inherent in the option without the mentioned system.

The six-disc audio center requires careful loading of discs. If you rush, without waiting for the Load sign on the display, the device will choke. Repairs will cost at least 2,000 rubles, however, according to the observations of the craftsmen, bitter experience does not teach: the same clients come back again.

Monitor the condition of the battery! On the Picanto it is tiny (the larger one does not fit into the slot), so it is prone to discharge in traffic jams. Especially in “city-night-winter-precipitation” conditions, when there is not enough energy from a generator operating at low speeds.

DAMN KEY

Gasoline twelve-valve engines of the “Upsilon” series are capable of delivering an unpleasant surprise: the timing sprocket key breaks the groove on the toe of the crankshaft, as a result of which the valve timing and the engine are thrown off best case scenario stops pulling. Since August 26, 2009, the defect was eliminated by strengthening the connection of mating parts, and they began to supply the conveyor and spare parts new crankshaft, with the diameters of the neck steps increased by 3 and 4 mm. But if you happen to change a part, you won’t get away with it alone: in addition to the key, the changes affected the timing sprocket, the drive disk, and the drive pulley auxiliary units, central bolt, drive gear oil pump and lower timing cover. Can you imagine the scope of replacement work and the total amount?

The cause of the breakdown is often a careless replacement of the timing drive: if you overlook the central bolt, this is the result. The second reason is resin deposits on the valve guides, which increases the resistance to camshaft rotation. We advise you to regularly wash the injectors without dismantling them, because this also cleans the guides.

Let's say there's a groove on the old crankshaft intact, but other parts mentioned above need to be replaced. Don't worry - they are supplied as spare parts along with the new model parts. According to regulations, the timing drive is changed after 90 thousand km, but there have been cases when the belt broke earlier. Dealers recommend reducing the interval to 60–75 thousand km. At the same frequency we adjust the gaps in valve mechanism. The scheme is simple: a screw with a lock nut on a rocker arm.

Sometimes the motors overheated, causing the block head to warp. Here the blame lies entirely with the owners who do not keep the radiator clean. It is quite natural that, clogged with dirt, he is unable to maintain normal temperature regime engine.

The most common engine control unit error indicates a faulty oxygen sensor, although the sensor itself has nothing to do with it. Blame interruptions in ignition due to faulty spark plug: excess fuel enters the converter, which is perceived by the sensor as “ rich mixture"(although the control unit reduces the opening time of the injectors in order to protect the neutralizer) - and until you replace the spark plugs, the sensor will not have enough oxygen. According to the regulations, spark plugs are supposed to be changed after 30 thousand km, but sometimes they barely reach 15 thousand.

PORridge WITH BUTTER

Often, spark plugs are also to blame for twitching when changing gears in a car with an automatic transmission - according to observations, in more than 80% of cases. And the owners, without understanding the problem, blame the box and strive to quickly change the oil in it. The manufacturer recommends using ESSO JWS 3314 (45000–34D00 according to the Kia classification), but it is impossible to buy it in some regions of Russia. Even to order! At least, this is what the owners complain about on the Internet forum. A letter asking us to look into this also came to our editorial office.

It turned out that the light did not converge on this oil. The Japanese Jatco automatic was originally designed for Nissan, so the original Nissan oil KLE22-00004 ATF Matic Fluid D, a liter of which costs about 1,800 rubles, is primarily suitable. Other substitutes are also acceptable: Ravenol 4014835714359 (2200 rub./l) or Ravenol 4014835714311 (the cheapest - 460 rub./l). You can also use original oil General Motors 93742563 (1750 RUR/l). All of them, in fact, are analogues of the same ESSO JWS 3314. But fill Dexron III absolutely not recommended! We draw the attention of not only owners, but also regional dealers to this. Although you can understand the latter: you can’t go thousands of kilometers to the capital to buy oil. Rather, this is the task of the company's representative office.

Almost all automatic transmission failures are in one way or another related to unqualified maintenance and careless operation. If you regularly monitor the oil and thermal conditions of the unit, as well as the serviceability of the engine ignition and power supply systems, most likely there will be no problems. Failure of the output shaft speed sensor does not count: the defect is not massive. By the way, right drive shaft cars produced in February 2010 were replaced under warranty due to a processing defect in the area internal CV joint. But there were only a few such cars - about 1,600, including European market. When the manual gearbox shifts tightly, we adjust the drive. On average, a clutch lasts 100–120 thousand km. If by this time the pedal has become weak, change the clutch fork and guide sleeve at the same time.

LITTLE NOTHINGS OF LIFE

On some cars produced in 2009–2010, tires were changed under warranty. Not necessarily all five, sometimes a couple on one axle, since only in small batches of original Kumho tires a cord defect was detected.

The front suspension deserves attention support bearings racks If you hear a creaking sound and feel crushing when turning the steering wheel, not only replace the supports, but also install new dust covers. With the latter, the node lives without problems. Usually, by 60 thousand km the right steering tip begins to knock. Stabilizer struts sometimes run for 120 thousand km, and bushings for 60 thousand. Ball joints and silent blocks are quite durable.

On some cars manufactured before August 2007, the power steering wheezed and gurgled unpleasantly. The problem was solved simply: a nozzle was inserted into the return hose. It is only important that the hole has neat chamfers. On Russian market Only cars with power steering were supplied, and to European countries - with electric steering. It is useful to know that knocking in an electric power-assisted rack can be eliminated by replacing the spring that presses the sliding block - this applies to cars produced before 2007.

Front brake pads serve 30 thousand km, rear ones (drum only) - about 60 thousand. It happens that the front discs warp; re-grooving does not always help. Due to natural wear, they are enough for two or three sets of pads. Since 2006, the labyrinth of the lid has been changed brake reservoir, connecting the cavity of the tank with the atmosphere - through the former, the liquid became contaminated quite quickly. The cost per kilometer turned out to be the lowest in the history of this category: overall the car is reliable. Of course, if you take care of it and don’t skimp on service.

The Kia Picanto did not become a bestseller, although all the makings for this are evident: good-looking, affordable, full of simple but true Korean quality. It's just a pity that it's not our format. Otherwise, no one would have noticed the isolated shortcomings of the hatchback.

Premiere of the 5-door Kia hatchback The second generation Picanto with the TA index died down in March 2011 as part of International Motor Show in Geneva. Peter Schraer collected a regular portion of compliments. In those years, I had already gotten a little used to the luck caught by the tail in the person of a talented designer, and therefore in the summer of the same year I showed a 3-door supercompact. However, it has not gained popularity in our market.

The car was developed as if from scratch; it was significantly different from its predecessor. Appearance - yes! Heaven and earth, however, there were no ideological or structural changes in either the units or the layout. Only modernization. And their changes, in fact, were not particularly required. The first Picanto proved to be a reliable workhorse, as they say, for every day. Picanto number two can also be depicted in the same colors. Moderately capricious, unpretentious, inexpensive to maintain. And in addition, it is now stylish, cocky in appearance and well equipped for its class. LEDs, USB, heated steering wheel!

In Russia, the hatchback was sold with two gasoline engines With distributed injection fuel. The modernized 3-cylinder 1.0 MPI with 66 “horses” remained the base one. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The tandem is reliable, but not very fast (14.4 s to hundreds). However, it reaches its maximum speed of 158 km/h in half a minute. The second number was the slightly older “four” 1.2 MPI with a power of 85 hp, which was equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. And she was only a second faster in the sprint. This version, by the way, is still disliked by many due to its disproportionately high fuel consumption for its size and power.

The three-door version went on sale in the summer of 2011. It has the same length and wheelbase, like the five-door. However, due to its design, it has different windows and doors. Even the bumpers and radiator grilles are different. The latter is for a three-door with silver or red trim.

You won't find many serious complaints about the engines. Both are distinguished by their reliability, and their lifespan before major repairs can be considered to be 350 thousand kilometers. This is provided that the oil and filters were changed regularly, the timing belt was replaced after every 60 thousand km, and cleaning was carried out every 35 thousand km fuel system(in this sense they are quite capricious). And the fluid in the radiator was renewed at least once every 50 thousand km. Well, engine malfunction syndromes are standard: loss of power, increased oil consumption, extraneous sounds under the hood.

Picanto more often ends up on the secondary market from women's hands. Hence the approach to choosing a car: first of all, we look at the body. If you notice signs of corrosion, double your attention! The Picanto body is very durable; even after six years of use it will not simply bloom. Rust is a sure sign of body repair.

The second sign is often electrical wiring. If the version is not the most equipped, but there are extra pads hanging on the harness, then the harness has probably been changed.

On August 26, 2009, the defect was eliminated by strengthening the connection of the mating parts, and a new crankshaft with journal stage diameters increased by 3 and 4 mm began to be supplied to the conveyor and spare parts. But if you happen to change a part, you won’t get away with it alone: in addition to the key, the changes affected the timing sprocket, the drive disc, the auxiliary drive pulley, the central bolt, the oil pump drive gear and the lower timing cover.

In the front suspension, the support bearings of the struts deserve attention. If you hear a creaking sound and feel crushing when turning the steering wheel, not only replace the supports, but also install new dust covers. With the latter, the node lives without problems. Usually, by 60 thousand km the right steering tip begins to knock. Stabilizer struts sometimes run for 120 thousand km, and bushings for 60 thousand. Ball joints and silent blocks are quite durable.
