We never asked much from this car. Nexia was attractive due to its low price and good reliability. It must be said that the first generation of “Ksyusha” (as this car was popularly called) more or less justified the trust placed in it. The car spent its first 100 thousand, as a rule, without special problems. In mid-2008, the plant presented updated model- Nexia N150. Now, almost 3 years later, we decided to summarize all the sores and problem areas updated model...
Engines
Nexia buyers can choose from two engines. The 1.5-liter eight-valve engine (80 hp) is accompanied by a relatively modern 16-valve engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 109 hp. Both comply with Euro 3 standards and are not fast. This is especially true for the 1.5-liter unit.
Motors are oil eaters. However, this largely depends on operating conditions and driving style. Consumption of 300 g per thousand km is considered normal for them. Under our operating conditions, it is better not to forget about the oil level in the intervals between scheduled service visits. Speaking of maintenance. In 2010, new regulations were developed Maintenance. Previously, the so-called zero maintenance had to be completed after a thousand kilometers, but now the service interval has increased to two thousand. Scheduled maintenance visits are required to be made at intervals of 10 thousand kilometers or once a year, and not every six months, as was previously the case. Violation of service rules leads to loss of warranty, in fact, like with any automaker.
Note that, according to the new regulations, the warranty for Nexia is 3 years or 100 thousand km.
Maintenance is prescribed scrupulously and quite extensively. Thus, TO-3 (20 thousand kilometers) involves changing oil, air and fuel filters, spark plugs. Together with original components, a service visit will cost about 8 thousand rubles. (work - up to 2 thousand rubles, parts - about 6 thousand rubles). A little expensive, of course, but under the hood they will update you with a lot of things.
The timing kit on both engines is changed every 40 thousand kilometers (TO-5). On an eight-valve engine, a tensioner pulley is included with the belt. The timing design of a 1.6-liter engine with 16 valves is more complex. In addition to the belt, it includes an automatic tensioner roller and a support roller.
The “sweating” of the 1.5-liter engine is the talk of the town! Oil regularly leaks from under the gaskets valve cover and cylinder head. Replacing gaskets helps best case scenario for a couple of thousand km. One way to eliminate oil “excess” is to install a valve cover from Chevrolet Lanos. The other is washing the engine at every service. The procedure will cost 300 rubles, but under the hood it will always be clean.
Transmission
It was on the Nexia in the new body that the clutch for some reason began to look thoughtful. To switch on a particular gear without any problems, you need to wait a 3-second pause. Agree, in city traffic conditions this is not the most pleasant feature.
There was a period when quite a lot was poured into the gearbox at the factory. liquid oil. It heated up very quickly, losing viscosity. The first symptom is knocking in the gearbox when the clutch pedal is operated suddenly. Experts recommended not waiting for the second and third symptoms, but simply pouring time-tested semi-synthetics into the box.
Today the plant has corrected itself: they began to pour SAEW80W-90 specification fluid into the gearbox, which in terms of viscosity is more appropriate for operation in summer conditions. In the Vehicle Operating Manual, the manufacturer recommends winter conditions use less viscous oil specification SAEW75W-90.
As for the frequency of oil changes in manual transmissions, it is 120 thousand km. The clutch lasts about 80 thousand km. CV joints run about 50–60 thousand km.
Electrical equipment
At first, the light bulb caused a lot of criticism Check Engine, which suddenly lit up and did not go out, despite any tricks. Let us reassure you right away - as a rule, there is nothing criminal, the reason is a controller glitch. The controller simply “did not see” the position sensor crankshaft engine (error P13360). It could only be cured at the dealer, and often by replacing the controller itself. By the beginning of 2009, the plant had overcome the problem. If you get a Check Engine light today, it's most likely due to low-quality gasoline.
Relays, sensors and other electrical devices are manufactured in various parts of our planet, from Kaluga and Pskov to India. Alas, at first they could not boast of either quality or maintainability. Thus, the instrument cluster, made in India, suffered from “stuck” arrows. A phantom malfunction sometimes appeared on new Nexia, and in a car that has covered more than tens of thousands of kilometers. This did not change the essence of the matter: we had to wait at least two to three months for the “socket”. In 2009, complaints about Indian devices reached a critical mass, and at the urgent request of the manufacturer, the Indians finally got down to business. As a result, by 2010, cases of freezing became rare.
Chassis and body
Not very tolerant of road potholes ball joints and shock absorbers. Active off-road driving will reduce their service life by almost half - somewhere up to 60 thousand km.
Front brake pads They run about 60 thousand km, the discs are changed every second pad replacement. Rear drum pads last up to 120 thousand km.
Increasingly, specialists at dealership technical centers are paying attention to deteriorating quality paint coating. Today, cars with shagreen, unpainted, and different colors are the order of the day. But this is a problem not so much for Nexia as for all automakers in this segment.
But the low quality of sealing the joints of body panels, alas, is a feature of Ksyusha. It happened that in heavy rain Water leaked into the cabin and trunk. The same thing happened with glass seals.
In my opinion...
Editor:
This car is not taken at the behest of the heart; Nexia is often used solely as a means of transportation or delivery. It is clear that the requirements for such a car are purely pragmatic: efficiency, reliability, unpretentiousness. And although at first the N150 model could not boast of much reliability, we should give the plant its due - today “Ksyusha” is confidently on the mend.
Many Nexia N150 drivers, having heard about the possibility of upgrading the car with their own hands, mean replacing its main parts. At the same time, the popular one today remains completely unnoticed. chip tuning Daewoo Nexia is an operation that effectively reveals the full potential of a car, requiring minimal costs. This method of improvement worked especially well when working with the “Koreans” of 1999–2008.
The fact is that these models are initially configured so that when minimal dynamics use large amounts of fuel. Everyone tries to deal with this in different ways, but chip tuning copes best with this problem. Carrying out this operation even with standard engine, which could not be modified previously, allows you to customize the parameters of the power unit and fuel injection system with your own hands. Thanks to this, the car operates much more stable, requiring a minimum amount of fuel mixture.
To complete this we will need:
- loader Combiloader;
- latest firmware version for Nexia engine ECU;
- programmer ;
- laptop with OS Windows XP.
Having everything you need, you can start working. First, we take out the ECU of the Daewoo Nexia N150. It is located in the cabin behind the dashboard of the car directly under the windshield wiper blades. Next, use the laptop and turn on the car ignition. After this, install and launch the Combiloader program. In the bootloader menu we find a window with settings. Without closing it, we install our firmware, choosing our ECU as the final folder.
During the installation process, the firmware will ask you to calibrate the settings. We are required to configure the unit with our own hands so that in the end the operation of the car fully meets our requirements.
For example, if you often drive on a straight road without traffic jams, then it is worth optimizing engine operation high gears. Select the “Transmission” item and move the slider to the left. So that the car performs well in dense conditions locality, the slider needs to be moved to the right, that is, adjust the engine operation at initial speeds. Similar operations must be performed with all parts that, according to your observations, are unstable. Next, save the settings and continue installing the firmware.
After the installation of the program is completed, turn off the ignition and disconnect the ECU from the laptop. Next, we mount the control unit in its place in the cabin. As you can see, do-it-yourself chip tuning is a job that anyone can do. The main thing in this matter is not to rush and follow the instructions of the programs.
2 Refinement of the Daewoo Nexia N150 engine
Engine improvement Korean car much more difficult to do. The reason lies in the power unit cars. Nexia is equipped weak motor, power 75 l. With. Finding new parts for such an engine is not as easy as it seems. The most accessible elements for replacement today are, perhaps, a direct muffler and zero-resistance filters.
Finding a top shaft and forged pistons to increase engine power is quite difficult. On this moment They are produced by only one company from Germany. The company produces complete tuning kits, which include crankshafts, camshafts and forged pistons. If you have the opportunity to buy such a kit, then you can start modifying the engine yourself. With the help of new parts, you can bore the cylinders yourself, as a result of which the engine volume will “grow” from the standard 1.5 to 1.7 liters.
After tuning exhaust system and filter improvements Daewoo power Nexia N150 will grow to 120 liters. With. You can go more in a simple way and install a domestic supercharger with your own hands. It will provide more comfortable conditions for boost pressure, which will also increase the engine power of the Korean car.
3 Modernization of the exterior of a Korean car
After tuning the engine, you should pay attention to the appearance of the car. To improve Daewoo body Nexia there are many options. But before considering them, it’s worth working on the car’s standard headlights. Standard optics have a nondescript appearance. In addition, the lighting from the headlights leaves much to be desired. To solve this problem, it is worth tuning the front and rear optics Nexia. In the front of the car we will install “angel eyes” - additional devices for better lighting, and in the rear - neon lamps.
First you need to unscrew and remove the protective cover of the headlights. Next, we proceed to the manufacture of additional lighting devices. To do this, take LED sticks and bend them into rings. To perform tuning with your own hands, we will need 4 rings - 2 bigger size and 2 smaller ones. After this, carefully insert the rings inside the car headlights. We mount smaller rings closer to the hood, and larger rings on the sides of them. To fix the “eyes” it is better to use standard holders, but to make our devices more stable, rear window optics, you can apply a little glue.
To connect the devices, we extend the wires into the car interior and connect them to the cigarette lighter relay. Previously dismantled standard headlights You can put it aside - they may still be useful. After this we start working with rear lights auto. Filming protective glass and take out the regular ones lighting. Next, apply a little glue to which we press the neon lamps. The latter need to be placed so that they stand between the “original” headlights and the turning lamps of the car. Next, we install the standard optics and mount the protective glass.
In addition to tuning the headlights, owner of a Daewoo Nexia N150 can be used to cover car windows with tinting film and also apply it to the body. To give the car sporty look, we recommend putting body kits and skirts on it. To complete the picture, it would not be superfluous to install a small spoiler on high pillars.
Daewoo Nexia N150 from 2008 general information (Daewoo Nexia N150)
An identification number vehicle
The vehicle identification number (body number) is stamped on a plate located under the hood, on the right side of the vehicle on the headlight amplifier.
Engine number
The engine number is stamped directly on the engine cylinder block (at the front on the platform on the left side along the direction of the car near the oil dipstick guide).
CHASSIS NUMBER
The chassis number is stamped on the floor of the body between the right front door and the passenger seat.
Your vehicle's fuel efficiency depends greatly on your driving style. How, where and when you drive - all these factors affect fuel consumption or, in other words, the distance a car can travel on one liter of fuel.
To achieve maximum fuel efficiency car, we recommend that you observe following rules:
Drive away smoothly, avoiding sudden acceleration.
Avoid prolonged and unnecessary idling of the engine.
Support correct adjustment all engine systems and components.
Do not operate the engine on high frequencies rotation of the crankshaft.
Use air conditioning (if your vehicle has one) only when absolutely necessary.
Slow down your driving speed bad roads with uneven surface.
Keep your tires at the recommended air pressure. This is not only beneficial in terms of fuel efficiency, but also for increasing the life of the tires.
Recommendations for economical car operation
Maintain a distance between the vehicle in front. This allows you to move more evenly in traffic flow, reduce the frequency of use brake system and reduce wear brake mechanisms. In addition, the fuel consumption for the subsequent acceleration of the car to the previous speed is reduced.
Do not carry unnecessary cargo with you. Do not keep your foot on the brake pedal while the car is moving. This will lead to increased fuel consumption, rapid wear brake pads, and can also damage the brake system.
Maintain the vehicle in good technical condition at all times. The values of the adjustable parameters must comply with the manufacturer's requirements.
An updated version of the car, known as Nexia II, in basic equipment offers customers stamped wheels with dimensions 185/60R14, rear fog lights, unpainted bumpers, fabric upholstery, tachometer in dashboard, ashtray, mirrors in the sun visors, lamps for the front seats, trunk and glove box, spare full-size wheel. When purchasing the top configuration, you can count on having a CD/MP3 car radio with a USB connector and 4 speakers, air conditioning, central lock and electric drive front and rear windows. The bumpers are painted in body color, and side mirrors Turn indicators are integrated. Steering provides for the presence of a hydraulic booster.
Nexia different years release can be found with three engines: 1.5-liter SOHC (75-80 hp), 1.5-liter DOHC (83 hp) and 1.6-liter DOHC (109 hp) . Of course, the latter deserves more interest, the power of which is more than enough for everyday use. At the same time, 1.5-liter engines are not bad in terms of quality characteristics and allow you to count on a sufficient resource. As for torque, the 16-valve engine pulls better high speed, and the 8-valve engine is at the bottom. Nexia engines equipped with a multi-point fuel injection system, which ensures smooth engine operation, fuel economy and low level toxicity. The timing belt requires special attention - valve bending, except for old 8-valve G15MF engines! There is no choice of gearboxes - only a five-speed manual.
Suspension Daewoo Nexia- this is simplicity itself: McPherson struts in front and torsion beam behind. The chassis is also characterized by decent reliability, except for those elements that change “like everyone else” as they wear out. It’s worth mentioning right away that the Daewoo Nexia is a car for a quiet, normal ride. The brakes are disc at the front and drum at the rear, so the braking dynamics are only satisfactory. And even with a hydraulic booster, on high speeds The information content of driving leaves much to be desired.
Considering the history and origins of the creation of the car, one cannot count on any outstanding safety indicators either. In those years, such attention was simply not paid to this. It is clear that the crash test results are disappointing. Inherited from Opel Kadett E long front side members, powerful energy-absorbing bumpers, and a safety front panel no longer save the situation if we approach the car by strict modern standards. In addition, Nexia has nothing to offer its owners, except door stiffeners, head restraints rear passengers And three-point belts security. But, for the sake of objectivity, it should be noted that all this is typical for most cars, including domestic ones that were developed decades ago.
At one time, Daewoo Nexia became the first car from which many Russian car owners began to switch to foreign cars. The price of Nexia was such that it could not help but attract buyers who were not spoiled quality characteristics"Lada". And today Nexia continues to be a serious alternative to new and used domestic cars. Some of the sore spots include metal corrosion, poor heating, and a cramped interior. The asset is endurance, large trunk, no problems with spare parts and repairs, affordable prices. So, in general, this is a characteristic of a solid “average”.
We never asked much from this car. Nexia was attractive due to its low price and good reliability. It must be said that the first generation of “Ksyusha” (as this car was popularly called) more or less justified the trust placed in it. The car survived its first 100 thousand, as a rule, without any problems. In mid-2008, the plant presented an updated model - Nexia N150.
