Geely MK

Jili MK is a Chinese small class member. The first generation Toyota Vios was taken as a basis for its development, which in turn is nothing more than the first Toyota Yaris re-imitated. This explains the almost complete similarity of the chassis with Yaris 1999-2002 release, and the 1.5 liter engine is a licensed copy of the Toyota 5A-FE. Geely MK appeared in Russia in June 2008. The first Jilis came to the salons directly from China. Since 2010, Geely MK has been assembled in the city. Cherkessk, at the Dervais enterprise.

Engine

The engine of Jili MK has a belt drive valve timing. According to experience, the condition of the belt does not prevent checking after 40-50 thousand km. Some at 60,000 km do not see the slightest signs of wear, others may lack a pair of teeth, and the belt is covered with cracks. Fortunately, when the belt breaks, the valves with pistons do not occur. When replacing the belt, the right support of the engine must be removed. When starting cold, the Geely MK engine often begins to “trot”. The problem can be solved after replacing candles, high-voltage wires, ignition coils (1,000 rubles) or adjusting valves. When removing high-voltage wires, owners often tear them off. Neglect of valve adjustment is fraught with their "clamping" when running more than 40-60 thousand km and subsequent burnout. It is more common to use cars with installed LPG. Gasing on heating the throttle eventually begins to miss antifreeze. Drying, cooling liquid contaminates the channel of the idle regulator and the regulator itself. The result is a difficult start, the engine stalls immediately after grasping and starts only with the gas pedal squeezed out. To avoid leaking, after cleaning the channel, it is better to plant the throttle gasket on a heat-resistant sealant. The native new idling regulator costs about 1,000 rubles, an analogue for the Chevrolet Niva for 500 rubles is suitable as a substitute. The engine Jili MK is prone to overheating in the warm season with a long ride at a speed of more than 100 km / h with the air conditioning on. The problem manifested itself when running more than 40-50 thousand km.

Transmission

5-speed "mechanics" on the new Jili MK first few thousand kilometers suffers from poor gear shifting. After the box elements "roll in", and problems with the ease of inclusion of gears does not arise. A significant contribution to poor selectivity of speeds is made by “cheap” oil poured into the box even during assembly. Such a “transmission” thickens strongly in the cold. After changing the working fluid, the box’s performance improves.

When running more than 50-70 thousand km box begins to make noise. The reason is the wear of the bearings of the primary and secondary shaft. It is noteworthy that in the warranty book, the bearings of the box are prescribed by a separate item, and the warranty on them is only 30 thousand km. For the work on removing and installing the box will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles, for bulkhead - about 4 thousand rubles, a set of new bearings will cost 1-2 thousand rubles.

The clutch tends more than 90-120 thousand km. A new set with a basket and a squeeze bearing will cost 3-5 thousand rubles.

When running more than 100,000 km often begins to make noise box when dumping gas in the third gear.

The glands of the drives can flow after 30-40 thousand km. The cost of the drive oil is about 500 rubles.

After 50-60 thousand km, you may need to replace the main clutch cylinder. The leaked cylinder can be restored using a remix for 600 rubles.

The dust from the outer SRUS will most likely have to be replaced when running more than 100-120 thousand km. The original anthers cannot be found separately, since they are sold only in the collection with a drive. But to find an analogue in the store of spare parts from other cars will not be difficult.

Walking

The Geely MK suspension is not particularly survivable. The first to surrender the front stabilizer racks - after 20-30 thousand km. The sleeves of the stabilizer go a little longer - about 40-60 thousand km.

Shock absorbers can leak or catch after 30-60 thousand km. The cost of the new one is within 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles.

Front landing bearings serve more than 60-80 thousand km. The same goes for balls and suspension levers. The new ballroom costs about 800 rubles.

Because of the "curve" assembly, the steering rack has a transverse backlash, retracted after pulling up. Often the rake begins to leak after 50-100 thousand km. The cost of a new reiki is about 15-20 thousand rubles.

Steering rods and tips go more than 50-80 thousand km.

Due to the corrosion of the coating of the piston brake cylinder of the front caliper at a run of more than 50-70 thousand km can peck the brakes. The remake will cost 400 rubles. Sometimes they begin to "ettaste" the brake fluid rear brake cylinders.

Body and salon

The body is bad at resisting corrosion. The first foci inevitably appear on the chips. And after 1-2 years of operation in the lower corner of the front doors under the seal, in the area of the lock of the trunk lid, the gas tank hatch and on the inner surface of the hood. Later, the wheel arches and rapids begin to rot. Corrosion of thresholds is most susceptible to machines with a factory hatch. Engineers brought the hatch drains directly into the doorsteps. For the repair of the thresholds will have to pay more than 30 thousand rubles. Headlights and taillights often fog, and fog windows often burst when incorporated into cool, damp weather. Hard plastic interior Geely MK strongly creaks, especially in frosts. The rattling in the steering wheel may occur due to the screws that unscrew over time, holding the airbag block. A loosely installed steering shaft seal passes the noise from the engine and exhaust system into the cabin. One of the problems is the water in the cabin. It gets there because of poorly glued wind and rear windows, as well as through flying rubber plugs on the bottom. Water in the trunk accumulates due to the seats of the taillights and the supports of the rear shock absorbers. Water can also be accessed through ventilation valves. A lot of complaints is caused by the work of the climate installation. Air conditioning becomes ineffective at ambient temperature of more than 25-30 degrees Celsius. This is facilitated by the peculiarity of the heating system design: hot pipes and a heater radiator are directly under the panel. Even in cool weather with the air conditioner off and the temperature regulator in the cold sector, warm air goes from the deflectors.

Electrical equipment

Problems with charging current may appear after 80-120 thousand km. The reason is the failure of the voltage regulator. A set of new relay and brushes will cost 2.5-3.5 thousand rubles. The new generator costs about 4.5-5.5 thousand rubles.

Due to the closure of the temperature sensor of the heating element of the seats or the "sticking" of the buttons for the inclusion of the heating may stop working heating the front seats. Factory heating elements of mirror heating perfectly cope with their task, but often fail. After replacing the mirrors with an analog, heating becomes not so effective, but much longer-lasting.

When running more than 100-150 thousand km, a break in the steering plume of the wires is possible.

There are also frequent problems with the lighting of the dashboard. The reason is the failure of the chip driver board of electric motors that control the movement of arrows and illumination of devices. The cost of the new device is about 7-8 thousand rubles.

The quality of Geely MK, produced in China, and in Russia, is significantly different. Chinese Jili assembled more solidly - all elements of the body and interior are well-fitted, and gaps are smooth everywhere. Domestic assembly, on the contrary, is famous for poor fitting of body parts and eternally untwisted or torn bolts. But there are disadvantages and Chinese cars – the firmware ECU does not cope well with the launch in the cold, you need to update the software. In addition, in Chinese Jili, electrical problems are not uncommon due to the oxidation of contacts made from low-quality brass.

Another problem that we have to face is the difficulty of selecting spare parts. Under the same number can be completely different details that are not replaceable with the original. Whether in the car during the assembly stuffed everything that was at hand, or problems in the catalogs... The only way out is to take a faulty knot (part) and compare the resemblance to the eye.

• Engine: Some 60,000 km do not show the slightest signs of wear, others may lack a pair of teeth, and the belt is covered with cracks.
• Transmission: After the box elements “roll in”, and problems with the ease of switching on the gears do not arise.
• Driving: Shock absorbers can leak or catch after 30-60 thousand km.
• Body and salon: Body does not resist corrosion well.
• Electrical equipment: Problems with charging current may appear after 80-120 thousand km. The reason is the failure of the voltage regulator.
