The most favorite Chinese cars on the Russian market is "Cheri-Amulet". He attracts the attention of Russians good bundling for little money. The first cars appeared on Russian roads almost 10 years ago. Such a period is already long for operation. modern cars. Of course, in 2009 their release was discontinued, "Cheri-Amulet" is still in demand.

Reviews of the owners of these machines relate mainly to the shortcomings inherent in the "Amulets" of various periods.

What exists is that the earliest releases (from 2003 to 2006) were assembled in China. The quality reflected the careful and meticulous work of hardworking Chinese. The shortcomings and pluses fully corresponded to the manufacturer's zeal to reduce the cost of the car, and the quality of the Spanish progenitor Seat Toledo, which was then borrowed from the Volkswagen Golf.

At the end of 2006, at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad, they began to assemble Cheri-Amulet from parts and assemblies made in China. Import duties and customs clearance tasks are gone finished cars, alas, having opened all its charms, the shortcomings of the Russian assembly began to rapidly appear. Specialists believe that the weakest link of the "Amulet" is specifically the Kaliningrad assembly. Avtotor completed the production of these vehicles at the end of 2009. Ukraine grabbed the banner that had fallen out, where Cheri-Amulet began to be produced at AvtoZAZ OJSC under a different name.

Ecstasy calls and big trunk half a thousand liters volume. And additionally, if you fold it, in other words, generally remove the rear sofa, then all two cubic meters come out.

Some drivers find that the car handles the steering wheel very well and goes great at speed.

Now irrelevant is a strong phenolic smell in the cabin. It was typical for new cars and over the long and long years managed to fade.

The lack of legroom for rear passengers is also considered common for Chinese cars. They also note the heavy fifth door, and the very small ground clearance, which, together with large overhangs, makes some tasks on a bad road.

Drivers do not take into account a huge number of small flaws, all the more so since there are fewer of them on each subsequent batch.

A striking example of the healing of diseases is interior decoration. In cars Kaliningrad assembly she's already black. It looks neater after a couple of months of active use, but the quality is still not civilized enough.

And in these cars, the main advantages of the owners are the cost and size of the trunk. True, reproaches are sticking out exactly in the center spare wheel, however, Russian drivers get out of the situation with brilliance - they throw away the spare tire, and carry a rather small set on their own when repairing tubeless wheels.

Reviews of the owners of "Cheri-Amulet" are unanimous in one thing - very low build quality. True, most of them, by the time they bought new Kaliningrad cars, were not spoiled by high-quality "foreign cars", and the Russian auto industry taught them to newest car it is necessary to check and tighten what remains to be done by our client connections and power elements, change oils and other technical waters, and with springs and brake pads. Therefore, the need to perform such operations was perceived as something self-evident. If in your first such "Amulets" dealers eliminated obvious assembly flaws, then later they did not do it either.

One of the main shortcomings remained - the lack of soundproofing. It was even aggravated by the build quality of the Kaliningrad "Cheri-Amulet". Reviews of the owners, as before, are unanimous in assessing this shortcoming.

There are flaws in the car that are not related to build quality, which are unsafe. Our client is left with drivers pointing out poor quality brake pads and rear shock absorbers.

Oil selection for the Chery Amulet box, or a review of Castrol Syntrans 75W90 gear oil

A huge number of small flaws were in the "Amulets" assembled at the Avtotor plant, which Chinese engineers eliminated with all subsequent releases.

The main defect of Chery Amulet has also been preserved. The reviews of the owners with photos that suffered specifically because of it confirm the conclusions of professionals that the car in the basic configuration scored less than 2 points during the crash test according to the EuroNCAP method. True, there are many owners of "Amulet" who consider this estimate to be very underestimated.

Reviews of the owners about the operation of the box on the Chery Amulet justify that the one installed on the car mechanical transmission gears. one complete mess.

And the reason for this is not only the low quality of the metal from which it is made.

Bearings and gears rapidly become unusable, especially in fifth gear, right behind them the primary, secondary shafts and differential break.

Regarding the operation of the manual transmission, our client is left with drivers complaining that it is difficult to change gears, and the myth process with a rattle occurs. Changing and adding oil does not save the situation every time. Requests repair of the clutch drive and adjustment. the gearshift mechanism itself.

Requires frequent adjustments idling, do not hold the fastenings of the engine suspension mounts well, wear out rapidly and require replacement of oil seals and o-rings.

Then, a long list of possible defects comes down to the poor quality of materials and parts and poor assembly of the MCP.

Specialists recommended immediately when buying a car to change the oil, coolant and spark plugs. Such measures could extend the life of the box from the usual 20 to 80 thousand km. Now, there is no such person, there are no more cars with a native manual transmission. Drivers say that such a unit, last used and restored by craftsmen on non-core 100, is significantly more reliable than a new one.

Oil change in CHERY TIGGO FL gearbox

This statement is true in almost everything and the same for the car as a result. When new, both actually Chinese and Kaliningrad cars "Chery Amulet" were not being finalized. Reviews of the owners of new cars often began with a list of improvements and replacements made before and during use.

Craftsmen in a short time learned to additionally strengthen the plastic in the cabin with screws and install sound insulation, lay the latest audio and wiring.

New Chery Amulet cars are not being created now, however, in the field there is an option to buy a ten-year-old car cheaply. If it was carefully operated and well finalized and repaired, then it will be able to serve an undemanding owner for unpretentious needs for a long time.

Probably, many new car owners were most annoyed by the need to carry out all maintenance work at a car service: otherwise you could lose the warranty. But as soon as the warranty expires, you gradually begin to do most of the work yourself. In particular, this applies to the replacement of vehicle fluids, brake pads, tie rod ends, and so on. So changing the oil in the gearbox is considered an event that, as a rule, does not cause any problems for motorists. Especially when it comes to such inexpensive and easy-to-install cars as Chery Amulet.

Changing the oil in the box is, of course, a rather rare procedure in terms of frequency (every 40,000 kilometers). Meanwhile, if you do not want to do expensive things in the future, you need to do this in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Today we want to talk about the features of changing the oil in the Amulets gearbox, using just one simple tool (10 hex wrench), a large syringe (especially for filling oils), several tens of minutes of free time and a couple of liters of type GL-4 or SAE 75W -90.

For the convenience of performing the operation, it is necessary to change the oil either in the pit or on the flyover. So, let's prepare a container for draining the used oil and go under the car: access to the drain and filler holes is located there.

In order to facilitate and speed up the work, it is recommended to change the oil in the box within 15 minutes after turning off the engine. In this case, the oil will be hot and liquid, which will allow it to quickly release the internal cavities of the gearbox. Also, in order to avoid getting burns, you should very carefully unscrew the drain plug.

Manual gearbox oil: 50,000 km Automatic fluid: no more than 40,000 km. When replacing the fluid, the Toyota instruction tells you to unscrew the box pan, remove strainer, rinse it and the sump in fresh automatic transmission fluid and put back. In this case, do not blow the magnets located on the pallet. There is NO need to change the filter. Practice shows that it is also not necessary to wash it. Practice also shows that replacing automatic transmission fluid sometimes miraculously affects the smoothness and correctness of gear shifting. At your obedient servant, the machine gun somehow began to fool around, twitch and stall when starting and stopping. Easy replacement liquids without any flushing cured the problem in the bud Fuel filter: 40.000 km. Although most do not change the filter at all, until the car starts to run poorly on high speed(not enough gasoline due to a clogged filter). Practice shows that the filter can not be changed for many years, but one refueling with crappy gasoline with mechanical impurities is enough to clog it badly. Air filter: 40.000km, blow every 10.000km. Antifreeze: every 40.000 km. Candles: ordinary - every 20,000 km, platinum - every 100,000 km at normal gasoline You need to put only those candles that are indicated in the instructions. As a rule, these are NGK and ND (Nippon Denso, now renamed Denso). Bosch and other Champions are better not to bet - they, as a rule, have other parameters. Belts: every 100.000 km. Brake fluid and power steering fluid: every 40,000 km. It is possible / necessary to fill in the power steering ATF oil(the same oil as in the automatic transmission). This is during normal, leisurely use under normal conditions. If the operating conditions of your machine differ from normal - draw conclusions. And for oil brush I advise MannoL 75W-90 in a red can, it switches perfectly to both cold and hot

The oil in the gearbox allows you to use the transmission painlessly and for a long time. If it is of poor quality, or it is not enough, then the checkpoint will not last long. After overcoming forty thousand kilometers, each owner of Chery Amulet must change the oil. But, before you change something, you must first check. So, how will the Chery Amulet gearbox check and change the oil?

Tools

Empty container.
Hexagon for 10.
Syringe.

Changing the oil in the gearbox Chery Amulet do it yourself

1. Drive the car into a viewing hole or platform in order to gain access to the drain hole.
2. Unscrew the filler plug.
3. Check the oil level in the gearbox.
4. If the level is low, loosen the drain plug.

5. Place a container under the hole.
6. Unscrew the plug completely.
7. Drain the old oil into a container.

8. Spin drain plug.
9. Pour new oil into the gearbox housing using a syringe.
10. After filling the desired level, tighten the filler cap.

This completes the replacement process. Check the oil level to make sure there is enough. Drain the old fluid immediately after you have traveled by car. If this just didn’t happen, then you need to start the engine, warm it up to the desired temperature, and even better, drive a little. The fact is that we need hot oil, as it is more fluid. Cold oil can stagnate in the gearbox. Recall that in the previous article we talked about

Fans of Chery Amulet should not try to orient themselves to something else vehicle. They highly value this interesting car, are ready to do everything to ensure that the car pleases them with pleasant trips for a longer time. If you are also a fan of this car, it will be useful to find out how the process is carried out in the Chery Amulet car. You should not trust your "treasure" to the masters at the service station. At a minimum, you will have to lose a certain amount of money, but to be sure that such technical procedure perform the highest quality, it is not always possible. It is for this reason that we recommend learning how to change the oil yourself. If you follow the recommendations, you will solve this technical issue just as well.

Instructions for changing the oil in the Chery Amulet gearbox.

Replacement process

The car will work flawlessly if all consumables are changed in time. The gearbox needs periodic replacement. If you ignore this requirement, at some point you simply will not be able to shift gears, or the car will refuse to move at all. Of course, you need to prepare for any action. We will help you find out in what sequence and what specific actions you will need to perform.

Replacement frequency

Often pour into the gearbox transmission oil won't have to. The manufacturer recommends that complete replacement after forty thousand kilometers or four years of operation. At the same time, we draw attention to the fact that both of these indicators should not be met, it is enough that one of them meets the requirements. Many car owners rarely drive their car, believing that with such economical operation they will be able to save on the purchase of consumables. However, this is a delusion, in the event of constant downtime, the transmission fluid loses its technical characteristics, so it becomes unable to ensure the correct operation of the manual transmission.

Level check

If most often you have to change the oil after the specified period, then in some cases, some car owners still have to resort to such technical manipulation for other indications. Due to even minor defects, TM leakage may occur, which is important to eliminate in time. If you are on the road, you will definitely not be able to inspect the gearbox, look for the cause of the TM leak, but you can’t continue the trip without doing anything either.

We recommend checking the oil in the box to make sure that the level is within the acceptable range. Unfortunately, if the checked oil level in the box is below normal, you will need to top up the missing amount of oil fluid.

To perform this procedure, first unscrew the filler plug, arm yourself with a dipstick and check. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish an old oil mark from a new one, therefore it is recommended to first wipe the dipstick carefully with a rag, eliminating all traces of oil, and only then measure the level. Please note that the rag should provide a good cleaning of the surface of the probe, but at the same time not leave a single fluff on it. You can not use old woolen textiles, since all the fibers first fall on the surface of the dipstick, and then into the oil, provoking a deterioration in its technical parameters.

Which oil to choose

In any car store you can find a stand that presents all kinds of gear oils that differ in different parameters. Do not rush to buy the first one that you liked according to some inexplicable criteria. It is impossible to fill in the first oil that comes across at the checkpoint, especially if you expect to extend the life of your car.

There are three types of oils:

• mineral;
• semi-synthetic;
• synthetic.

We immediately warn you that you will have to be tempted to purchase. The cost of this TM is much lower than the prices of synthetics or semi-synthetics. However, don't skimp. Mineral oil has low technical specifications, it will not be able to ensure the normal operation of the checkpoint. Ask your dealer if they have a high quality transmission Trans KP Super 75W-90 Semisynthetic. It is it that meets all the requirements, ensuring the successful operation of the gearbox.

If such gear oil is not available for sale, a car dealership employee will be able to find a decent analogue for you, follow his recommendations, but only on condition that this car dealership is trustworthy.

Tools and consumables

Do not rush to leave the store immediately after purchasing TM. To carry out the procedure, you will need some tools:

• hexagon on "10";
• syringe;
• container for waste collection.

If something from this small list is not at your disposal, then purchase the tools directly from the auto shop.

Procedure

After you have successfully prepared for the process of replacing the transmission fluid with your own hands, you can safely proceed to the next steps. We recommend warming up the car first. This is important in order to increase the temperature of the HM, in which case the mining will flow out faster. You can even take a ride so as not to drive the engine just like that. Then drive Cherie Amulet onto a flyover or viewing hole, if there is one in your garage. This is necessary in order to provide unhindered access to the drain hole.

Unscrew the filler plug, you can check the oil level to see if there are any other additional problems. Now unscrew the drain plug, substitute the container, mining will immediately begin to flow into it. Wait until the old oil is completely drained. After that, you can tighten the drain plug.

Armed with a syringe, fill in a new transmission fluid into the gearbox housing. Finally, check the oil level and, making sure that everything is within acceptable limits, tighten the filler plug. Now your car is ready to please you again with its excellent work.

So, we hope that the process of replacing TM did not seem difficult to you, and you will do an excellent job with this task. Anyone who has changed the oil at least once on their own will never even think about resorting to the help of service station specialists.
