Geely Emgrand EC7

Jili Emgrand EU7 was positioned as a representative of the D-Class. However, in size it is closer to a typical example of the C-Class. The car was designed to meet the strict requirements of the European market and even earned four stars in crash tests according to EuroNCAP. Sales of the sedan began in Russia in the summer of 2012, and in December 2012, he joined the hatchback. Jili was going by the method of large-assembly at the Dervais plant in Cherkessk.

Engines

Geely Emgrand EC7 was equipped with two petrol four-cylinder engines - 1.5 l / 98 hp and 1.8 l / 126 hp.

Both engines have a chain drive valve timing. In some cases, the chain had to be updated after 150,000 km. The cost of a new set of drive valve timing – 4-5 thousand rubles.

Unfortunately, after 140-160 thousand km owners sometimes begin to complain about the increase in oil consumption. Some even had to undergo major repairs. In case of defects, the occurrence of rings was revealed, and in some cases, the wear of cylinders. The cost of repairs amounted to about 40 000 rubles.

The supports of the power unit become unusable at a distance of 60-120 thousand km. The cost of one support is 1-2 thousand rubles, and replacement works are 1.5-2 thousand rubles.

Transmission

All Emgarand EC7 engines were combined with 5-speed mechanics. The box was flawed. After 100-150 thousand km, a hum or howl appeared. During the bulkheading, wear of bearings and gears was detected. For repairs in the service ask 23-28 thousand rubles, while a new box can be purchased for about 40 000 rubles.

The clutch of the manual transmission usually serves more than 150,000 km. The new clutch set is available for 4.5-5 thousand rubles, and for the replacement work you will have to pay about 5000 rubles.

In 2013, versions with the flagship 1.8 in parallel with the manual transmission began to be aggregated by the CVT. The automatic transmission was manufactured by the Belgian company Punch Powertrain.

Surprisingly, the VT2 Punch CVT was much more reliable than the mechanics. Cases of repair of CVT are still isolated and occur after 200-250 thousand km. The main thing is not to forget to regularly update the transmission oil.

Walking

In the suspension Emgrand EU7, the first to be handed over are the silent blocks of the front levers - after 60-100 thousand km. After 80-120 thousand km comes the turn of the Silenblocks of the rear beam. The cost of the Silentblock 300-800 rubles, and the replacement work - 2000-3000 rubles.

Front stage bearings have to be changed in the interval of 50-100 thousand km (1800 rubles for an analog).

After 60-120 thousand km of attention could require a steering rack (8000 rubles for the original).

Other problems and malfunctions

Unfortunately, the anticorrosion resistance of body iron is quite weak. Paint swellings and red spots are noticeable already on 6-7 years of operation. Problem areas - the surroundings of the chrome lining on the trunk lid and hood, wheel arches and the bottom of the doors. Comprehensive repair with body painting will pull 50 000 rubles.

After 60-120 thousand km, sometimes the generator had to be repaired - the voltage regulator refused the relay (900 rubles for an analogue).

Some owners faced a malfunction of the BCM unit - the wires were rubbed, or the contacts burned. As a result, there were failures in the heating of mirrors, glass and chairs, as well as the lighting equipment refused.

The inner handles of the door locks are quite flimsy. They can break when trying to open a door with locked locks. The original pen costs about 1000 rubles, but on the Internet you can find analogues for 300 rubles.

The EU7 is a rather controversial car in terms of reliability. On the one hand, there are problems with the manual transmission and engines, but on the other hand, the cost of repair is relatively small. However, the list of typical faults is not so wide, and the cost of their elimination is low.

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.
