Chevrolet Orlando

Chevrolet Orlando was first introduced in the fall of 2008, and the production of the compact van was established two years later - in the fall of 2010. In Russia Orlando appeared only a year later - in November 2011. It is built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra J.

Engines

For Russian buyers, only one power unit was offered - a 4-cylinder atmospheric gasoline engine with a working volume of 1.8 liters, developing 141 liters. with. The valve timing drive is belted. The first belt replacement is prescribed after 150,000 km or 10 years. The new set of drive valve timing is available for 5-8 thousand rubles. At first, some owners faced a leakage of the oil pressure sensor (200 rubles). In addition, the oil pressure sensor sometimes gave a signal of a pressure drop in the lubrication system. As a rule, this event was associated with the leak of the sensor itself. It is noteworthy that a couple of cases of spontaneous combustion in the engine compartment were recorded. Presumably, the culprit of the incident was the “herbal” sensor. The leaked oil ignited. In any case, such a sentence was made by representatives of the authorized Chevrolet service center. Over time, it leaked and the thermostat. Replacing the pads did not always solve the problem. Sometimes a replacement of the body was required (4000 rubles). In addition, the heating element of the thermostat or the temperature sensor of the coolant could fail. Leaks of antifreeze also occurred due to a crack in the expansion tank. After 100-150 thousand km, the gaskets of the heat exchanger were handed over, as a result, the oil either got into the cooling system or squeezed out. The cost of troubleshooting will be about 14 000 rubles, since the unit is located in a hard-to-reach place - under the exhaust manifold. It was possible for owners to change the failed ignition module (4-8 thousand rubles).

Transmissions

In pair with the engine, a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed “automatic” was installed.

There is no comment on the "mechanics". But there are several recurring cases: failure of the clutch pedal due to problems with the hydraulic drive of the clutch, and failure of the return spring of the pedal. The clutch usually serves over 150,000 km (17,000 for the original kit plus 7,000 rubles for work).

Chevrolet Orlando customers have complained from time to time about the rough operation of the automatic transmission: there were tremors / jerks during the 1-2-3 switching and after the stop. Dealers shrugged. But service centers engaged in chip tuning, did not sleep and offered another firmware for the engine, smoothing out the uncomfortable operation of the box.

Regardless of the type of box, after 70-120 thousand km could fill the glands of the semi-axes (150 rubles).

Walking

Many people note the rather noisy work of the suspension. Extraneous sounds from behind can be caused by the rattling of the plastic anther of the shock absorber. Sometimes the slacking of the calipers, often the front ones, also make their contribution.

Shock absorbers usually travel over 100-150 thousand km. The same goes for the Silentblocks of the front levers and the rear beam.

After 80-120 thousand km, sometimes the parking brake cables acidify. For two cables will have to pay more than 2000 rubles.

Body and salon

The paint coating of the body of the Chevrolet Orlando is not particularly durable, which is traditional for modern cars - chips soon appear. Shortly resists external influences and chrome: the radiator lining and the bar on the trunk door are inflated.

The opening button of the fifth door is rejected. There is fogging of the front and rear optics.

With frequent folding and unfolding, the side mirrors on several cars became "freely orientable." The reason is the deformation of the soft locking washer and the jumping of the fixator.

“Drop” from the ceiling plafond in winter is not uncommon. This phenomenon is characteristic of many modern cars. The reason is the formation of condensation in the space between the roof and the ceiling upholstery. It is treated by gluing the roof with heat-noise insulation material.

Plastic salon Orlando easily scratches and after a while begins to creak. Knocking in the rear of the cabin can occur due to weakening of the mounting of the spare wheel.

Other problems and malfunctions

Some Orlando owners noted the “glitch” of the climate installation – the hanging of the air recirculation valve in the closed position. Less common was the freezing of the climate: the set temperature did not change when the handle of the regulator rotated, or the temperature indication disappeared. The system was restored on its own after a while.

However, after 100-150 thousand km, it was still necessary to repair the broken plastic heater valves. The cost of the remake is about 1000 rubles. However, to get to the heater, you need to completely dismantle the front panel.

Also noted cases of “error 95” (faulty airbag) and failure of the parking sensor (from 200 rubles per analog).

With age, the heating of the driver's seat refuses. The new original mat is available for 3000 rubles.

After 100,000 km, the windshield wiper leash from the driver’s side sometimes stopped moving. The reason is a breakdown of the hinge joint. Fortunately, the defect is easily repaired.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
