- Medium-sized crossover, developed by the Korean company Hyundai. To date, the main players in the segment of medium-sized crossovers are the Japanese and Europeans. But the Korean producers hold a little away, stating that it was so conceived initially. Their products, they say, is designed for customers who do not chase in designs in design and new technological solutions, and choose the car for its reliability and practicality. But how reliable, in fact, was Hyundai Santa Fe 2, and whether it is worth buying this car in a used state, now and try to find out.

A bit of history:

Hyundai Santa Fe was presented to review the public at the beginning of the 2000th year at the auto show in Detroit. At the end of the same year, sales of this model started on the US market. The car was named after the capital of the American state of New Mexico. Translated from the Spanish "Santa Fe" denotes "Holy Vera". Santa Fe was the first crossover released by the Korean company Hyundai. The car has a common platform from Hendai Sonata. For all the time several firelifts were conducted, during which they were changed: the radiator grille, front and rear optics, the design of bumpers and wheels. The car was collected in three countries - South Korea, Russia and Turkey. Officially, the production of Santa Fe first generation was completed in 2006, despite this, this model continued to produce on the Taganrog Automobile Plant under the name of Hyundai Santa Fe Classic until 2012.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2 debut held in 2006 in the North American Auto Show. In April of the same year, the serial assembly of the car began. Unlike the predecessor, the novelty became noticeably larger and no longer had faded body lines and loup-eyed headlights - the car had more familiar, both for crossovers, body forms and more modern optics. Also, the changes touched on and internal decoration - the front panel, the instrument shield and the steering wheel changed. Like the previous model, Santa Fe 2 is built on a common platform with Hendai Sonata. In 2010, the model was restored, during which the radiator grille, optics, cast wheelbarius design were changed. Also, the changes touched and the interior - a multi-power, Bluetooth wireless headset, a trim of a tree, touch screen of a navigation system with a rear backup camera, devices received a new font and other color of the backlight (blue).

The premiere of the third generation of the model took place on the New York Motor Show in 2012. The novelty is fundamentally different from its predecessors thanks to the use of a new corporate style "flowing lines", which give the car not only fresh, but, and, in a sports, aggressive appearance. Also, many pleasantly surprised the new design and equipment of the cabin. In 2015, the car has been restyled, after which the "Grand" or Premium "prefix began to add to the title.

Weaknesses Hyundai Santa Fe 2 with mileage

Traditionally, for Korean cars, Hyundai Santa Fe 2 has a fairly weak paintwork - quickly covered with scratches and chips, the paint is intimidated around the windshield and on the roof. Despite this, the body iron is well protected from corrosion - in places of chipping, metal paint does not rust for a long time. Of the common flaws on the body, you can mark the rigid door seals, due to this door closes with effort. To troubleshoot the problem requires adjustment of the lock bracket of a poorly closing door. The headlights are prone to fog, most often this ailment manifests itself when the temperature drops (in winter), in rainy weather and after washing. The windshield into severe frosts can burst in the area of \u200b\u200bheating janitors, the reason is a sharp temperature difference.

Power units

The line of power aggregates is represented by gasoline and diesel engines: gasoline - 2.4 (174 hp), V6 2.7 (189 hp); Diesel CRDI - 2.2 (150 and 197 hp). Gasoline motors are quite reliable and do not often be presented by unpleasant surprises to their owners. With proper maintenance, replacement of oil and filters every 10-12 thousand km, the resource of engines to major repairs is 350-400 thousand km. A 2.7-liter motor after 100,000 km mileage can begin to burn the ignition coils. After 15,000,000 km, the leaks of the engine cooling radiator appear, the problem is dangerous in that it is very difficult to reveal it at an early stage. The fact is that the expansion tank has a special design, in connection with this, it always remains a small amount of coolant, even when there is practically no liquid in the liquid system. If you do not fix the problem in time, there is a big risk of overheating the engine. The effects of overheating can be deplorable - the deformation of the engine head.

Closer to 200,000 km is required to replace the catalysts. At the power unit of 2.4, during the cold season, when the Bindiks engine starts, it may not go out of the engagement with the flywheel. Temporarily, changing the problem 2-3 forced engine stops helps. To the common malfunctions, which are characteristic of all power units, can be attributed: a small resource of the starter, the leaks of the front oscillation of the crankshaft and the engine pallet.

Diesel motors are more capricious and can deliver a lot of hassle to their owners. Most often, the culprit of the main inconsisers of the engine is the "bady" diesel fuel, as a rule, fuel nozzles are first of its fault. When using high-quality fuel nozzle capable of listening to about 150,000 km. Many owners of the car with a mileage of 150-200 thousand km coming on a suddenly appeared knock from under the hood. The reason is the failure of the pump TNVD, also, such symptoms may appear when the tensioner tensioner is fafeed. If, in the cold time, the dynamic starts from the engine compartment, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the fuel pressure regulator.

The original gas candles are able to last up to 100 thousand km. To replace the candles, it will be better to contact a specialized service, since, according to statistics, almost 50% of cases, when you try to replace the candles, they are climbed. To remove the remnants of the broken candle, you will have to remove the head of the engine block. After 15,000,000 km, it becomes unusable to the relay of glow candles. Another problem site is a crankshaft pulley with a damper coupling, may fail even on a car with a slight mileage, after 80-100 thousand km. When running over 120000 km, it may start twisted the rod of the vacuum regulator of the position of the blades in the turbine. Symptoms - flies the plug on the inlet in the intercooler. The turbine is sufficiently worn and is able to last up to 200,000 km. After 180 thousand km, oil leak appears on many copies, the reason is punched by laying the head of the cylinder block.

Transmission

Hyundai Santa Fe 2 was equipped with two types of gearboxes - mechanics and machine gun. Both transmissions are quite reliable, but not safe. So, for example, in a mechanic installed in a pair with turbodiesel, often, after 80-100 km, two-stage flywheel fails. Also, the disadvantages of mechanics include the leaks of the semi-axes. One of the most common problems of the machine - jerks (jerks) when shifting gear. The peculiarity of this ailment is that it is almost impossible to eliminate it. The only thing that can improve the box work is to replace the oil in the automatic transmission. On some copies after 50-70 thousand km, the mileage had to change the switch of the lever positions. A characteristic problem that occurs on both gearboxes - premature bearing wear of the right half (as a rule, the disease is manifested on mileage 100-120 km). If the problem does not immediately eliminate the problem, the wear of the slotted connection of the inner and outer part of the semi-axis is accelerated.

More than 50% of Hyundai Santa Fe 2, presented in the secondary market, are equipped with a plug-in. The full drive system is implemented using a multi-disc friction clutch, which is controlled by electronics. The coupling, in principle, reliable, but is afraid of overheating ( you should avoid frequent slip). One of the advantages of the coupling is that it is maintainable, and, in the event of its failure, you do not have to pay for a new more than 1000 dollars. As a rule, for the restoration of mufti is asked for 100-200 USD. The main symptoms of the node malfunction will serve - kicks, shocks and blows while moving with fully twisted wheels. In the system of the full drive, it is most often failed: the rear gearbox cover ( begins to flow after 80,000 miles), rear gearbox gland, pendant bearing of the cardan shaft ( serve 120-150 thousand km), elastic coupling of the cardan shaft ( replacement is required after 150000 km).

Handy quality Hyundai Santa Fe 2 with mileage

Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with an independent suspension: in front - MacPherson, behind - "multi-dimension". The suspension is harsh, because of this, during the movement on the uneven road, the car is a little shaking. In the front suspension, the support bearings are most often documented, they can crack after 40-60 thousand km. The shock absorbers began to flow after 30-50 thousand km, in 2010 the manufacturer refined the item, there, by increasing the service life of up to 80-100 thousand km. On cars of the first years of release, they are not famous for their reliability and hub bearings, in most cases their resource is 50-70 thousand km (changing assembly with the hub). If, at the beginning of the movement, the clicks, the culprit, most often, serves a hub nut. It is required to replace the nut, as the suspension eliminates the problem for a while.

The front stabilizer racks go to 50,000 km, rear - up to 70,000 km. The bushings serve 50-80 thousand km, in order to replace them, it is necessary to lower the subframe. In the 7th local versions, the rear shock absorbers were installed with the possibility of changing stiffness, surrendered after 70-80 thousand km, but they stand several times more than ordinary, therefore, many owners of them changed to ordinary shock absorbers in a pair with more rigid springs. The remaining elements of the suspension go more than 100,000 km: ball supports - 100-120 thousand km, Silent-blocks - 120-150 thousand km, elements of "multi-dimensions" - up to 150,000 km.

In the steering system, the weak place is the steering rail, in most cases the knock in the rake appears closer to 100,000 km, but there have been cases when the repair required it after 20-30 thousand km. As a rule, the rail fails due to the wear of the right sleeve, also the cause of early repairs can be leaks to flow. The brake system is generally reliable, but, on some copies, with time, the end-to-wave stop signal has failed. In most cases, the problem was eliminated under warranty. Many owners note the appearance of a knock in the rear calipers to avoid problems, it is necessary to periodically lubricate the guide calipers.

Salon

The quality of finishing materials is not bad, despite this, a couple of weak points here, nevertheless. Steering wheel - paint with leather finishing is quickly wiped. The problem is solved by re-painting or. Plastic - easily scratched and crept in the cold season. There are complaints and on the reliability of the electrical equipment of the cabin. Most of all the criticism received a branded audio system - "glitches" appear ( spontaneously turns off the display, reboots, etc.). On a car with a mileage, more than 150,000 km often fails to drive a climatic installation damper that is responsible for the distribution of streams.

Outcome:

Hyundai Santa Fe 2 is a large and spacious car for ordinary people who have no need for luxury and other "Ponts." Operating experience has shown that Santa Fe is reliable and inexpensive in servicing a car that confidently feels not only on the track, but, and, far beyond. Like most cars, Santa Fe is not deprived of small flaws, but unlike many competitors, and large investments are not required to eliminate them.

Advantages:

• Capacity.
• Four-wheel drive.
• Big ground clearance.

Disadvantages:

• Weak paintwork.
• A small resource of some suspension elements.
• Large fuel consumption of gasoline engines.

Focus II - Car manufactured by Ford. These cars are no longer produced and it is possible to buy them only. The demand for these cars is, as a rule, only young guys who have recently graduated from a driving school. Many call Focus " creditoshnot" or " office plankton car", Because of the fact that they often buy low-income citizens.

2 generation of focus from 2004-2012 was produced. The suspension design, which was truly delightful and reliable, taken from the first generation. In 2008, restaurant machines with an updated design entered the sale. From the first generation there is nothing left (the exception is the engine and the roof).

Safety

The second generation of focus is one of the safest cars. After all, Euro NCAR has five of the five passenger safety stars (35) and a child (40), but the safety of a pedestrian is much smaller, and only two stars out of five.

Advantages and advantages of Ford Focus 2

1. Several body options: four-door sedan, three-door and five-door hatchback;
2. Salon: Ergonomic, Miscellaneous color gamut, configuration, good speaker sound, spacious, informative and readable instrument panel, air conditioning quality. Conductive, seat upholstery Leather or fabric, lumbar and side support Chairs convenient;
3. Luggage compartment: the volume of the sedan 466 l boosted, hatchback - 281 liters, if folded the backs of the seats, arranged seats will increase to 930 and 1145 l, respectively, the loading height is low, the openings are wide;
4. Large line of power plants: 5 gasoline engines and one turbocharged diesel;
5. Low fuel consumption in a car equipped with a 1.4 engine in a mixed cycle is 6.6 liters per 100 km;
6. Electronic injection, upgraded ignition system, good dynamics at a two-liter engine;
7. Power plants comply with the standard not lower than Euro-4;
8. Reliable steering;
9. Long service life of the automatic and manual gearbox;
10. Hodovka is worn and comfortable;
11. Good performance indicator;
12. The cost of maintenance is low;
13. You can install not original spare parts that are a huge selection on the market.

Ford Focus 2

• Body;
• Salon;
• Electronics;
• Engine;
• Transmission;
• Suspension.

The first thing to watch when buying is the body. Immediately it is worth understanding that the car is quite old, and the fact that the factory paint has fallen somewhere, and the body and doors can be rusty, the lining in the cabin will be the rubbing, and the thresholds and bumper will have operational damage. But still, Ford has other backs of the body, which you need to know, and repair them immediately after purchase. Ford Focus 2 does not like Russian winter, it is because of this that the focus occurs and frequent breakdowns occur:

1) Castle problem. The most important is a larva for opening the hood (Ford Focus's chip of both 1 and 2 generations - opening the hood from the key), the castle zaksats. It is possible to correct all this in two ways: to anoint the penetrating lubricant lid of the lock (where the emblem) or replace the lock with plastic on the metal, which is well suited from Ford Mondeo.

2) Sometimes there are "shoals" with the wrong work of the central castle, which is not only responsible for the castle of the door itself, but also for the gas tank hatch.

3) problems of chrome coating, which is designed to make the car beautiful, but after several winters, in place between metal and chrome, rust begins to appear, which no longer makes the car beautiful.

4) If you have a car in the body of a hatchback or sedan, then you should regularly check the backlight of the license plate, because These bodies have problems with the wires of this node, which due to moisture is coated with corrosion.

5) Malfunctions with windows, which lies in the fact that the windows maker hoses fly out of their fastened and poured the engine.

In general, Ford Salon is not bad. The quality of the tissue is beautiful is beautiful, it remarkably withstands the process of dry cleaning and wear-resistant, but after a few years of operation, the salon begins to make noticeably creak.

The most expensive electronics, which often fails, is heated seats for which you have to give a small amount of money. There are often problems with the stove, the motor of which can fail. Also, approximately 50 thousand km., A resistor breaks, accompanied by a non-strong but unpleasant whistle. The heat sensor in the cabin also suffers, but only in versions with cruise control. Also, because of the Russian winters, the threads of heating side mirrors suffer. In restying machines, it is rather difficult to change the bulbs in the headlights, as for this fair you have to get the whole.

Focus goes four engine options: 1.4; 1.6; 1.8; 2.0 liters. Let's deal with each separately:

1) 1.4 liter engines, by themselves, durable and reliable (if they regularly change the oil and filter), but it is better to put the mechanics in the layout, because it will definitely not go to the machine. But hence there is one problem - due to the fact that the engine is always spinning at high speeds (on low it will not go, because he has little power), the engine resource is quickly depleted. Therefore, purchasing a car from third or more hands, it is worth thinking well, because there is a risk of entering the engine overhaul;

2) 1.6 liters (100 hp) - this engine, as well as 1.4, is considered durable and reliable (just do not forget to change consumables). Its main plus is simplicity of design, so you can fix the engine yourself. But today, the engine power is very small. And if you take in a collection with a machine gun - then you definitely do not have enough speakers.

1.6 liter (115 hp) - This sample of the engine will be a better than its predecessor of the 100-strong motor, and you can already ride with the machine, with almost the same gasoline consumption. It features its only added system for changing the phases of gas distribution, both in the intake and on the graduation shaft. This motor has a problem with a phasemaker's clutch, which quickly "ends", but on later and improved models such a problem happens less often.

3) Motors 1.8 and 2.0 liters are almost the same in their design and they also have similar problems. The resource of such motors is 350 thousand km. What should be changed? The most important thing is the timing chain (200 thousand km.), And the gasket between the head and block (100 thousand km.), And then the loss of oil from the engine begins. You also need to follow the tightening bolts, otherwise they are unscrewed due to vibrations.

The transmission of this car is three options, and each has its pros and cons, let's deal with each:

1) The IB5 mechanical gearbox is not very good, her sores are enough and they are not very pleasant. The most common is the departure of the second transfer. All this is due to weak synchronizers. But due to the fact that the box will often work on the complete, can burst the axis of satellites in the differential, and all these actions will later lead to a hole in the crankcase, the repair of which will be silent. With the bearing of the primary shaft, too, there are problems if you heard the hum from the box - then run to the service, because It will not lead to good consequences, but only to difficult and expensive repairs.

2) MTX75 mechanical gearbox will instill more love and hopes, because more durable. Its minuses are the glands and seals of the transfer of the transfer, but it is all easily done. It is also better to monitor the oil, it should not be at a minimum, and the shafts and gears of gears are quickly wearing and come into disrepair. It is also necessary to monitor the release bearing, which is very weak and wears after 50 thousand km.

3) The 4F27E automatic gearbox is very reliable, because it was put on the car from 1980, and all the shoals in it have long been corrected, because of which this automatic transmission is reliable as a tank. Only one thing spoils the picture - after 55 thousand km. It is advisable to change the valve hydraulicock and also need to replace the pressure regulator solenoids.

As I spoke earlier, the focus is a beautiful suspension that got from the first generation. The suspension is reliable and rarely breaks, all this is because of the excellent configuration of an independent chassis, but still some elements fail and need to be replaced. The most basic, not long-living elements:

1. Support bearings racks. By 40-70 thousand km. They come into disrepair and require replacements. Also requires the hub bearing, which is only assembly with the hub.
2. After 40,000, a soft knock may appear, which means that the stabilizers racks have become unusable.
3. 80-110 thousand kilometers will need to change bushings and with them: ball supports, levers and silent blocks. After all this it will be necessary to pay attention to the shock absorbers.

After replacing these parts, your suspension will be the same beautiful, as well as the car from the conveyor.

In conclusion about the deficiencies of the Ford Focus of the 2nd Generation.

Our "office plankton car" is not very bad. For a simple guy, she is quite suitable, even though there are also cons, but if you follow these minuses, then everything will be fine. Of course, you cannot buy a new car, but when buying "from the hands" you need to check all the listed weaknesses.

P.S.: Dear car owners, if you were noticed by systematic breakdowns of any details, units of this model, please inform this in the comments below.

Weaknesses, dignity and main disadvantages of Ford Focus 2 with mileage Was Last Modified: March 2nd, 2019 by Administrator.

Nissan Cascai is one of the most popular modern cars, which deserves the praise of experts. Like any vehicle, it has the pros and cons. What they manifest themselves and how to cope with them - we will try to figure out these questions.

Talk about the benefits

The main advantages of Nissan Casca include the following amenities:

1. A fairly spacious comfortable salon. In such a car you feel safe, cozy and status.
2. Model 2016 is designed so that has a high landing. It is much nicer than chain the most insignificant potholes.
3. Exterior - Manufacturers are clearly not lagging behind modern trends.
4. Excellent equipment: folding mirrors, good climate control, air conditioning.
5. The presence of parking sensors greatly facilitates parking from behind.
6. Rear camera, which is included in the basic configuration.

Many motorists note the existence of windshield heating - an option indispensable in frost. ATTENTION also attracts good aerodynamics of Nissan. The car is resistant on the road at high speed, as well as on turns.

As for electronics, it never brings trouble, since the car will start without problems in any, even frosty weather. The average fuel consumption is about 11 l both in winter and summer.

The Nissan Qashqai Crossover has conquered sports power, excellent body design and good handling. Like owners and comfortable seats with a lumbar backup. But before buying in the secondary market it is worth considering all the shortcomings of this popular car. And, accordingly, make a conclusion.

Weak vehicles

The main disadvantages of Nissan Casca can include the following:

• rear Motor Supports;
• the steering rail is often faulty;
• a small trunk, a little spacious,
• weak and short-lived rear shock absorbers;
• slim and soft LCP;
• often fail.

Many car owners celebrate a tough and breaking suspension in the car. Does not suit them and too big reversal radius. However, these weak and painful places do not cancel its advantages.

Signs of faults

Frequent owner claim - fragile rear motor supports. It provokes problems with the engine due to unnecessary loads, as well as vibration. An indicator of such a malfunction serves the appearance of jerks in the transmission during transmission.

Aggressive ride is capable of leading the steering rack. Therefore, when buying a used machine, it is recommended to check the traces of the leaks from the steering mechanism. Tight wheel rotation, which coincides with a gnash and whistle is a direct signal of sores. They will serve as an indicator of the relationship of the previous owner to the car and the manners of his ride.

Another common problem is the failure of bearings due to rapid movement in bad roads. In this case, the repair of the reducing valve, located in the oil pump, is expensive.

Their malfunctions may indicate the presence of a roll when turning. With the deformed racks, the car leads from the road rut, and from under the hood, knocks are heard.

Of the disadvantages it is also possible to note the nonideal heating of the cabin: heat is distributed unevenly, which leads to the absence of proper comfort in winter. Problems may occur with (ABS). Do not forget also about the rear suspension.

The trick is sometimes hidden in the wheel bearings. The reason is too low of their operation. If the roar of the wheel is heard, then the problem is in bearings. But these diseases operated by Nissan Qashkai, according to car owners, are perfectly treated.

Let's summarize

We reviewed Nissan Cashkai on both sides: positive and negative. Before buying a car, a comprehensive diagnosis should be carried out to identify possible defects. If you can enjoy or hum when traveling, then there is an obvious malfunction. Choosing Nissan Qashkai, with the problems of which you are already familiar, be attentive to all malfunctions, please contact employees of the service, and then the rides will only be joy!

Despite the fact that Renault Megan is a fairly reliable car, he has some weaknesses and typical sores. There are some problems in the transmissions. Manual boxes - that the "six-tracks" of two-liter versions and "restyling" 1,9litis turbo diesel engines that the "five suits" with the rest of gasoline and diesel 1.4-1.9-liter engines of all types are reliable, and they can rarely suspend.

When on the odometer, the next hundred thousand kilometers, then be sure to check the state of the gaskets and the glands, since they have the "flow" property to this line. Next, keep the oil level under control, and otherwise the differential bearings will suffer. It happens that frights often begin through some 11-15 tons. Kilometers at the moment when the clutch discs are closed. Especially noticeably jerking the machine when heating the node during the hot weather or when moving in traffic jams - and is not fully treated, even if you replace the "basket" assembled for 250 euros.

Eternal problem - automatic transmission Al4

Adaptive automatic transmission of DP0 at a price of 3500 euros, called Al4, also documented the owners of some Citroen and Peugeot models. Although this unit, who debuted in 1999, was improved throughout his conveyor life, but it did not help him, he remained problems with the node of French cars. "AUTOMAT" in an immentable state does not tolerate work and to the level of oil is very sensitive, which can be checked in the absence of probe only on the lift. Further on the list, in the risk group, the glazes and the hydrotransformer, the bulkhead will cost 650-1050 euros. However, most often - sometimes after 60-75 tons. Kilometers, a maximum of 80 tons. (Due to strong jokes during switching), it is necessary to change the modulation valves or the entire hydraulicock for 210-480 euros.

Weak Suspension Suspension Renault Megan 2

About suspension megan. Already known almost all weaknesses and in this node. For example, the support bearings of the front racks of 95-105 euros, before the firm strengthened their design in 2007, and their replacements under warranty due to tapping during irregularities often happened and without passing 15-20 tons. Kilometers. The reason for such an early failure of the support bearings of the front racks is their insufficient dirt protectedness.

The front silent blocks of the levers in theoretically could serve 125-160 tons. Km, if they did not fail two times faster with the levers of 100 euros for each with fixed ball supports, which are also wearing. In principle, you can buy non-original joints and separately, however, how strong is the lever with a ball with a bolt, a big question.

According to the reviews of car owners Megan 2, the durability of the bushings and racks of transverse stability stabilizers is simply amazing, and do not give the reason to remember themselves even when on odometer 115-135 tons. Kilometers! The same service life, for example, possess the front shock absorbers that cost 90 euros. However, the rear shock absorbers are not so durable - it's not that that they are bad bad, no problem with it. Just in order to ensure excellent handling - they are tilted at a large angle. And in this regard, they work with elevated loads, and cost 50 euros. When they, because of this feature, begin to show signs of fatigue, this is expressed in what - often they give it out of county, and knocks earlier than 95-100 tons. Km The rear of its special vitality does not differ, but there is at least one plus - it is placed in plain form, so it is not difficult to control their condition. The silent blocks of the rear beam, which cost 70 euros for everyone, will require attention only after 100-120 tons. Kilometers. If they crush, it means that torn.

Renault Megane II Suspension Problems

Now a few words about the steering control. When you hear in the steering column, the sound like riding, you should not rush to the service immediately, as this is the norm almost every second car: it happened that the steering shaft and new cars could reach the stroke limiter. Rake at a price of 550-600 euros, by itself, usually requires total intervention not earlier than 70 tons. Kilometers with a replacement broken sleeve. The same, most likely, "go" and steering tips, but traction for forty-euro to the same time will have time to upgrade a couple of times, and this is just that superficient case when it makes sense to put more "non-original", which is more durable. The electric power steering costs 1,700 euros, is unrepretentious and when malfunction of any complexity is subject to replacement.

Typical sores of Renault Megan 2002 - 2008.

The "halogens" of the near light do not live long, but change their "Jesuit", that is, to the touch - it is done through the hatches, which in the front wheeled arches zone.

When your car starts the windshield, and under the hood there appears a lot of dirt, it means that it means that the engine shield soundsly insulation greatly and saves the seal. To clear the drainage tubes, you will have to raise the casing under the windshield and wiring wiring to dismantle.

Front wings plastic. They are not terrible light blows, but the bumper latches are pretty easily on them.

According to the reviews of the owners of Renault Megan 2 in the winter, the gas tank hatcher, also plastic, often acts about, and attempts to open it, most likely to end the locking of the retainer.

From the lowest bottom of the trunk of plastic be careful, as it is easy to split. On dorestayling machines, that is, before the release of 2006, the rear brakes of Renault did not equip the dirt shields, in this regard, this leads to the "emergency" wear of the inner pads.

With the bodies of the hatchback, the wagon and coupe-convertible constructive problems does not happen. But the sedans "lit up" with an exotic problem, which is expressed in severe frosts - they have that the roof is swept away! This "epidemic" became the current supersary in the winter of 2006, and everything because of the thermoshuo-glued to-glued to the roof panel - it was compressed from the cold, and pulled the "roof" metal, so that our temperature differences did not take into account the factory and provided due gap. Since 2007, they began to make mats from other materials, so that traces indicating the roof repair at the age of 2006 is not at all a sign of their accident in the hands of the past owner.

When you make a purchase of Megan 2, we advise you to pay attention to post-rounding cars, after the release of 2006. The French are called cars of the second phase, since almost all "children's diseases" managed to find and cure, so, now the reliability of these cars causes much less complaints.

Prices for Renault Megan 2 and the nearest competitors (Analogs)

1.4-liter versions of Megan with a capacity of 97-101 forces 2008-2010 G.V. Rated around 280-450 thousand rubles. Versions with 1,6 licer motors with a capacity of 111-115 hp Already 320-480 thousand rubles, for the same price, such a price is stacked, for example, Chevrolet Lacetti or, and here the Japanese Toyota Corolla or Mazda3 cost more. Finally, the most interesting offer is two-liter megans. They will cost only 10-25 thousand rubles more expensive. The more rational to take the "mechanics", however, will have to get used to the deigious character of the clutch.
