Review

The first Cherie Tiggo T11 rolled off the assembly line in 2005. The crossover for the Russian market was produced in China and Russia - until May 2008 at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad, and since November 2008 at TagAZ (including under the name Vortex Tingo since October 2010). The restyled version of the FL was introduced in the spring of 2012, but it entered our market in August 2013. The updated crossover was assembled exclusively in China.

The prototype model was the second generation Toyota RAV4. Under the hood of Tigo placed licensed power units Mitsubishi. Chery Tiggo, due to its low price, enjoyed good demand in its class.

The reliability of the crossover, of course, depends on operating conditions and competent maintenance. But there's one thing. The case of chance also plays a role. In addition to the “birthline” diseases, there are also unexpected ones that suddenly arise. As a result, under the same operating conditions, someone drives and does not know troubles, and someone tortures himself by eliminating infinitely pop-up malfunctions. Therefore, the opinion of the owners of this car is ambiguous.

It is worth adding that the native Chinese assembly is better than the Russian one. At the same time, many complained about the unsatisfactory quality of working fluids poured into the power unit at the plant. In particular, the coolant on cars of Russian assembly over time could give precipitation, which often led to jamming of the thermostat in the open position.

Engines

Cherie Tigo was equipped with 4-cylinder gasoline engines with a working volume of 2.4 l / 130 hp. and 1. 8 l / 132 hp. A little later appeared 1.6 l / 119 hp. and 126 hp, as well as 2.0 l / 136 hp. All engines, except 1. 6 / 126 hp, have a belt drive timing, which should be changed every 50-60 thousand km (5-8 thousand rubles plus 4-5 thousand rubles per work). Neglect the timely update of the valve timing drive is not worth it, just as it is worth saving on spare parts, since cases of a break are not uncommon. The consequences are obvious - the meeting of valves with pistons. Repair in the best case will cost at least 20 000 rubles. 1. 6 / 126 hp. with the index SQRE4G16 received a reliable chain drive valve timing. Some owners of the 2.4-liter Tiggo have experienced unpleasant cases of valve breakage and rod failure. The motor is prone to “waste” of coolant through the lower radiator tube, the pump junction with the tube of the thermostat or through the tube itself. Sometimes "leak" plugs in the block of cylinders. It is worth adding that after 200-250 thousand km, the engine 2. 4 sometimes begins to eat up oil. The engine of 1.8 liters is characterized by difficulties with cold start in severe frosts - below 15 degrees. The culprit is a temperature sensor of the coolant. Less often the reason is “tired” ignition coils. Reduced traction and jiggling at low speeds are often caused by a malfunction of the mass air flow sensor. Engines 1.6 liters and 2.0 liters of "name" sores do not suffer. But they are not without the common problems characteristic of the power units of the Tiggo.

Transmission

Before restyling, Tiggo was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and paired with engines 2.0 and 2.4 offered a 4-speed automatic. The updated FL lost the automatic, but acquired a variator (only with 1.6) and a robotic transmission (only with 1.8 / 132 hp). Both boxes have not yet been seriously criticized. At first, mechanical transmissions were not highly reliable. The life cycle of the box was accompanied by noises, crunches and roar. Problems with switching appeared to 40-80 thousand km. There are cases of destruction of the suspension and secondary shafts. In early instances, after 250,000 km of run, there was a destruction of the box differential. On boxes with cable drive, the switching can “stick” the gear selector lever due to the melting of the shirt of the cables located too close to the exhaust manifold. The problem takes place on Tigo with engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liters. On the Tiggo with a 2.4-liter engine, problems with the inclusion of gears can appear in winter - due to moisture in the shirts of cables or under the corrugated gear shift mechanism. Clutch often "ends" after 70-90 thousand km, but there are "lucky" who rolled 150-160 thousand km to the first replacement. For the replacement of the clutch, dealers ask about 10 000 rubles, in a third-party service will have to give about 7-8 thousand rubles. With the DP0 automatic transmission, which Tigo got as a gift from Renault, sometimes things didn’t go smoothly. So, when running more than 30-40 thousand km on the dashboard was lit gear with an exclamation mark. There may have been a slight shock. The reason is the pressure modulation valves.

Walking

The suspension of the crossover has an average service life. The racks and bushings of the transverse stability stabilizer require replacement by 40-60 thousand km. The front and rear shock absorbers begin to leak or knock after 60-100 thousand km. By the same time, ball supports (500 rubles) and Silent blocks of the front levers are suitable. When running more than 100,000 km, the rear springs and silenblocks of the rear levers weaken.

Steering thrusts serve more than 40-70 thousand km. The steering rack can knock or leak after 60-90 thousand km. There are problems with the pump GUR - it leaks in the area of the sensor.

After 60-90 thousand km, the rear brake calipers are often soured.

There are questions about the ABS block, which begins to “glutch”. The new unit costs about 30,000 rubles, but its repair is not expensive. The cause of the “glitch” of the ABS block can be moisture that got into the contacts pad on the module.

After 120-150 thousand km can make noise hub bearings (1200 rubles).

Other problems and malfunctions

The paintwork of Cherie's body is tolerable. However, the metal in the place of chips soon begins to “bloom”. Problem areas - hood, rapids, rear wheel arches, bottom of doors, area of door handles, trunk door.

When passing irregularities often sound locks of doors. The disease is treated by wrapping the brace with tape.

Crickets in the cabin are settled in entire colonies. The front seats will soon start to creak. Get rid of the creak is possible by gluing the fasteners. Over time, the paint on the steering wheel is wiped off.

The standard magneto is also often a problem. It does not lose discs, then does not hold the wave, then it falls silent, meaningfully giving the inscription “TOO HOT” – overheating. It is noteworthy that the warranty book indicates that the audio system is not covered by the warranty.

Sometimes the locks of the front doors are denied (2100 rubles for the original).

Over time, the fan of the stove begins to whistle. After lubrication, the whistle disappears. If the cabin in winter air flows are distributed unevenly (the driver is cold, and the front passenger is hot), then you will have to replace the clogged radiator of the stove (1500-2000 rubles).

From time to time, owners are brought to update the bearing of the air conditioner compressor clutch (300-700 rubles plus 2-4 thousand rubles for work).

In wet weather or after washing, individual owners faced the complete "silence" of the dashboard. The reason is moisture. After several days of “drying”, the panel’s performance was restored.

Problems with the generator appear after 50-70 thousand km. The new generator will cost 5-6 thousand rubles.

Review

• As a result, under the same operating conditions, someone drives and does not know troubles, and someone tortures himself by eliminating infinitely pop-up malfunctions.

Engines

• , have a belt drive of the HRM, which should be changed every 50-60 thousand km (5-8 thousand rubles plus 4-5 thousand rubles for work).
• Repairs in the best case will cost at least 20,000 rubles.
• Sometimes "leak" plugs in the block of cylinders.
• Reduced traction and jiggling at low speeds are often caused by a malfunction of the mass air flow sensor.
• But they are not without the common problems characteristic of the power units of the Tiggo.
• Due to a malfunction of the fuel pump (1500 rubles) or fuel pressure regulator (RDT), the engine begins to stall and stops starting the first time, and then completely refuses to start with the fuel remaining in the tank less than half or 1/3.
• Employees of car service stations do not recommend cleaning the gas pump mesh, since in 90% of cases, the RDT fails after that.
• In search of a solution to the problem, we had to deal with the replacement of the fuel filter, spark plugs, coils, high-voltage wires and even flashed the ECU.

Many owners compare the acquisition of Chery Tiggo to a lottery game. You never know how your car will perform. It is worth noting that the original parts are often much less groomed than those installed during the assembly initially. The resource of analogues is no less than original spare parts.

• As a result, under the same operating conditions, someone drives and does not know troubles, and someone tortures himself by eliminating endlessly pop-up malfunctions.
• Engines: Repair at best will cost at least 20,000 rubles. 1. 6 / 126 hp
