Why buyers choose this model

A design flaw in early versions. The cover of the thermostat is made of plastic and has a gasket, which deforms over time.

What buyers check

Thermostat

A design flaw in early versions. The cover of the thermostat is made of plastic and has a gasket, which deforms over time. As a result, the connection of the cover with the thermostat body begins to “sweat” or leak. If the problem is ignored, the defect can cause overheating and expensive engine repairs.

The cost of elimination: from 10 000 to 20 000 rubles. Replacement of the cover in the assembly with a gasket and a new coolant.

Noise of the gas distribution phase change system (CVVL)

The reason is contamination or wear of the electrohydraulic module CVVL (Continuous Variable Valve Lift), which controls the lifting of the intake valves. Sensitive to the quality of the oil and its late replacement.

Noise can also be caused by low oil pressure due to a worn oil pump or clogging of the oil receiver.

Often helps transition to better quality oil and reduction of intervals of replacement (up to 7-8 thousand km).

Diagnosis and washing of the system can cost 5,000 – 10,000 rubles.

Replacing the CVVL module is an expensive procedure, from 40,000 to 80,000 rubles (including spare parts and work).

Increased oil consumption (oil slug)

It is not a mass problem, but it is common.

Main reasons: coking of oil removable rings due to suboptimal operating modes (frequent trips over short distances) and low-quality fuel/oil, as well as problems with the ventilation system of crankcase gases.

Sometimes it helps to decoct and switch to a more viscous oil (for example, 5W-40 instead of 0W-20), but this is a temporary measure.

Major repairs (replacement of rings, pistons, glands) will require from 100 000 to 150 000 rubles.

Laying of the valve cover

The gasket loses elasticity over time and tans. Also handed over the sealing rings of candle wells, which leads to the ingress of oil in the candle wells.

The cost of elimination is 10 000 – 20 000 rubles.

Ignition coils

Replacement of one coil: 3,000 – 6,000 rubles (with work).

Increased oil consumption

Sometimes the turbocharger or clogged ventilation system of crankcase gases is to blame.

The cost of elimination is from 100-150 thousand rubles.

Punches, tremors, jerking at start and in low speed mode (especially in traffic jams)

A software feature, especially early versions. Clutch control algorithms don’t always smooth the moment perfectly. The problem is aggravated by aggressive driving or, conversely, by careful “crawling” movement in traffic.

The problem may also be related to the wear of the clutch.

It can be present from the beginning, but it is more likely to become noticeable and annoying after 50,000 to 100,000 km.

Sometimes helps adaptation / training of clutch: 5 000 – 10 000 RUB.Update of software box: 5 000 – 10 000 RUB.Replacement of a set of clutches, if the wear is critical: from 70 000 to 150 000 RUB.

Overheating of mechatronics (hydrocontrol unit)

This box has air cooling mechatronics, which is its weak point when driving actively or in difficult conditions (mountains, long traffic jams). When overheating, the ECU puts the box into emergency mode for protection, switching becomes slow and fuzzy.

It manifests itself when operating in severe conditions, more often after 50,000 - 100,000 km.

With frequent overheating, mechatronics can fail. The cost of repair: from 50 000 to 150 000 rubles.

Bearings

Natural wear and tear during aggressive driving or oil starvation.

The cost of overhaul of the RKPP: from 100-150 thousand rubles.

Leak of the ossels (half-axis, differential)

Replacing the oal of one half axis will cost 10,000-15,000 rubles.

Screaming or difficulty in switching on gears

wear of the clutch; - low level or quality of oil in the gearbox; - wear of synchronizers; - problems with the cable or gear selection mechanism.

Range of detection: after 100,000 – 150,000 km (depending on driving style).

Oil replacement in manual transmission: 5 000 – 10 000 RUB.Adjustment or replacement of the clutch cable: 5 000 – 10 000 RUB.Replacement of the clutch set (disc, basket, squeeze): 20 000 – 40 000 RUB.Repair of the gearbox with replacement of synchronizers: from 50 000 RUB.

Wear of bearings

Major repair of the gearbox with replacement of bearings and gears - from 60 000 rubles.

Flooding of gums

Replacement of the semi-axis oal - 10 000 - 15 000 rubles.

All-wheel drive system

Wear of the tailing flange of the rear gearbox

Replacement of the flange of the tailing assembly: 15 000 – 25 000 rubles (detail + work + oil change in the gearbox).

Repair of the old flange: 10 000 – 15 000 rubles (cheaper, but less reliable).

All-wheel drive coupling pump

The price of repair / replacement of the clutch: from 120 000 to 250 000 rubles or more.

Leak of the rear bridge gearbox

Replacement of oil oil with washing and oil replacement - 10 000 - 20 000 rubles.

Ball supports

Replacement of ball support (per 1 pc) with work: 3,500 - 7000 rubles.

Shock absorbers

Replacement of one front shock absorber rack in the assembly (original or high-quality analogue): from 12 000 to 25 000 rubles. for a piece with work.

Replacement of a pair of rear shock absorbers: from 15 000 to 30 000 rubles. (including spare parts and works).

Support bearings of front shock absorbers

The cost for a couple with work: 8 000 – 15 000 rubles.

Silent blocks of rear suspension

Replacing all the silencing rear suspension units is a complex and expensive job. It can cost from 25 000 to 50 000 rubles. depending on the volume (levers assembled with new silenth blocks are more expensive, but easier to install).

Stage bearings

The cost of elimination is 10-20 thousand rubles (per hub with replacement work).

Corrosion

Foci of corrosion can be found on the trunk door (under the chrome lining) or near the door handles. In addition, red spots were observed on the lower edges of the body and inside the wheel arches.

Glass lifters

Wear of the plastic mechanism or motor drive.

The cost of eliminating 5 000 – 10 000 rubles. for one door (disassembly of the door and replacement of the window lifting mechanism).

Failures in the operation of the keyless access system (Keyless)

Causes: failure of the antenna, sensors in the door handles or failure in the work of the immobilizer.

The cost of diagnosis and replacement of the antenna is from 10 000 rubles. For a pen assembled with sensors will have to pay 15-20 thousand rubles.

Electromagnetic clutch of air conditioner compressor

Replacement of the compressor clutch is about 10 000 rubles.

Servo-driven heater valve

The gears of the actuators fail or the calibration is lost.

Replacing the servo valve is a very time-consuming job. The entire center console and part of the torpedo are to be dismantled. Cost: from 15 000 to 30 000 rubles (including expensive work on dismantling the cabin).
