The distant appearance of the model

One of the mass cars, claiming the main role of "the first foreign car" was certainly the Chevrolet Lanos. Initially, the model was created and developed by the Korean Daewoo Automobile Plant and was called Daewoo Lanos. Plans for the development of the model appeared at the plant back in 1992, then the main competitors and contenders for further work were German Volkswagen Golf and Opel Astra . As a result, after painstaking work, together with German and English engineering companies, the car was presented to the public in 1997 at the Geneva Motor Show.

The car began to be mass-produced in the same year and continues to be produced to this day.

What are the positive qualities noted by the owners of the Chevrolet Lanos

Many motorists, having reseeded from domestic Zhiguli to Lanos, noted for the better the level of comfort, good sound insulation and convenience at work. AT top trim levels, air conditioning, power windows, power steering, driver's front airbag and other little things were turned on.

The Lanos engine in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission gave out acceptable dynamics both in the city and on the highway. Also to positive aspects the car can be attributed to its suspension (despite its resource), which has moderately soft settings and responsive steering, according to the rack and pinion system.

Disadvantages and frequent malfunctions of Lanos

Lanos owners often complain about weak dampers and indeed it is. For a comfortable suspension, you have to pay on average already by 50 thousand mileage. Wheel bearings can boast the same disadvantage. catalytic converter problem and its burnout happens in almost every second car, when buying a used car, ask the owner about its availability. Many drivers knock out its contents and drive on. Disk clutch installed from the factory does not shine with longevity, usually its resource is 50-60 thousand. Also, the ignition module is considered to be a weak point, the performance of which can sometimes be called unpredictable.

In the cabin, a rare driver did not glue the rear-view mirror, usually it falls off in the first months of ownership new car. castle creak back row seats, many are treated with electrical tape, winding it around a loop. The engine cooling system was also not without flaws; according to the owners, the cooling radiator flows and often fails. When selling a car. Chevrolet Lanos is considered bad selling car. the price of Lanos falls catastrophically fast.

timing belt on Chevrolet Lanos it is necessary to change every 60 thousand km. In the event of a break, the valves meet the pistons, followed by repair of the cylinder head. A belt with signs of wear, scuffs, cracks and delamination is also subject to replacement.
On the Daewoo Nexia, by the way, there is a similar eight-valve one and a half liter engine. Using the Chevrolet Lanos as an example, consider the timing belt replacement procedure. To work, you will need a set of wrenches, socket heads and screwdrivers.

All photos are clickable:

For ease of access, remove the air tube and housing air filter.

Loosen the three bolts securing the power steering pump pulley. Then unscrew the upper alternator mounting bolt, loosen the alternator belt tension and remove it. Then remove the power steering pulley. In this sequence, it will be easier to unscrew the bolts securing the pump pulley.

Remove the 2 x 12 bolts securing the power steering pump housing to the cylinder block.

Unscrew the 4 x 10 bolts securing the upper part of the timing belt cover and remove it.

Set the piston of the first cylinder to top dead center.

Now let's move on to the bottom of the engine. Remove the right front wheel and fender.

For ease of access to the plastic casing, I recommend removing the air resonator.

Unscrew 2 bolts and 2 nuts by 10 to remove the plastic casing that covers the engine belts from below and from the side. If there is a metal crankcase protection, then before that it must be removed.

loosen tension roller A/C drive belt and remove the belt. Using a wrench, unscrew the bolt securing the pulleys crankshaft. In the absence of this device, you can unscrew this bolt together with an assistant. To do this, he must engage 4th or 5th gear and press the brake pedal hard. At the same time, the crankshaft will be fixed and the bolt can be unscrewed using a good wrench with an extension and a socket head by 17.

The following view will open. Pay attention to how the crankshaft alignment mark is.

Remove the three 10 bolts securing the bottom of the timing belt cover.

Lock the tension roller in the retracted position. To do this, use a beard or a small screwdriver to align the holes on the roller bar. After that, it will be possible to remove the timing belt and the roller itself, which is attached with one bolt to the engine block.

Removing the belt from the engine is a little difficult. The fact is that he must squeeze into a narrow gap around the body of the power steering. When installing, the procedure is reversed accordingly.

When installing a new belt, the pointer on the roller platform must match the reciprocal groove in the bracket.

Before installing the caps, check the fit installation marks cranked and camshaft. To do this, screw the pulley mounting bolt into the crankshaft shank and turn the crankshaft two turns by the bolt. If not, reinstall the belt.
Note. Tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt 95 Nm + tighten by 30° and 15°.

Chevrolet lanos) - Not only people's car, but also one of the most inexpensive foreign cars that have ever been presented on our market. Therefore, in most cases, cars of this model are considered as an alternative to used cars of the Russian car industry. This vehicle considered one of the best options only if the budget for buying a car is small, also, Lanos is perfect for novice drivers. Like most used cars, Chevrolet Lanos has a number of drawbacks, but what they are, and what you need to pay attention to when buying, I will tell you in this article.

A bit of history:

The first Lanos was presented by the Korean company Daewoo at the Geneva Motor Show, but development began much earlier, in 1993. The body design was developed by the famous design studio ItalDesign under the direction of Giorgetto Giugiaro. The power units are partially borrowed from Opel and improved by Porsche engineers. After General Motors bought a 42% stake in Daewoo in 2002, a decision was made to jointly produce this car model. Initially, the car was presented in three body types - a three- and four-door hatchback and a sedan. Also, there was a limited batch of convertibles (produced from 1997 to 2002). Until 2002, Lanos was assembled in Korea, but after the launch of mass production, the car began to be assembled in Poland, as well as in Ukraine and Russia. Since 2008, the car has been produced only at the UkrAVTO plant in Zaporozhye.

Weaknesses of Chevrolet Lanos with mileage

The paintwork and metal of the body elements are of rather poor quality, as a result, corrosion on the car body appears after 3-5 years of operation. Most often, rust appears on the arches, sills, door edges, front of the hood and trunk lid. Therefore, in order to protect the car from the effects of corrosion, it is recommended to treat the body and bottom with anti-corrosion agents at least once every 3-4 years. Over time, moisture appears in the cabin and trunk, and there are also complaints about the durability of the trunk lock.

Engines

For the entire production period, Chevrolet Lanos was equipped with only 1.5 liter gasoline power unit 86 hp One of the most common problems with this engine is considered to be oil leakage through the cylinder head gasket (the gasket needs to be replaced every 30-40 thousand km). The motor is equipped with a timing belt drive, with a service replacement interval every 60,000 km. However, it is better not to delay the replacement and carry it out a little earlier, since after 50,000 km there is a high probability of a belt break, which leads to serious consequences (bends the valve). Many owners, in order to save money, refuel with low-quality fuel, this leads to rapid clogging and premature failure of the fuel pump.

Often surprises and the cooling system - the radiator ceases to function, the pump and thermostat fail. If the malfunction is not detected in time, this can lead to overheating of the motor, and, in the future, to costly repairs (leads the cylinder head). Not famous for reliability and sensors of the injection system, absolute pressure, position throttle valve and a lambda probe. A fairly common problem, when the engine starts to work unstably (XX revolutions are walking), a sensor replacement is required to fix the problem. idle move. Of the advantages of the motor, one can single out unpretentiousness to fuel quality and a fairly large resource up to overhaul(up to 500,000 km).

Transmission

Chevrolet Lanos was equipped with only a five-speed mechanical box transmissions, for which there was no alternative. Most of the complaints here relate not so much to reliability and durability as to its user characteristics. Most often, the transmission is criticized for fuzzy gear shifting and noisy operation. If the box started to buzz a lot, try to change the oil every 30,000 km, this procedure improves the situation a little, but does not completely solve the problem. Once every 50-60 thousand km, adjustment of the backstage is required, which becomes loose for no particular reason. FROM Clutch runs an average of 50-60 thousand km, but, with careful operation, it can last 100,000 km.

Reliability suspension Chevrolet Lanos

Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with a semi-independent suspension: in front - MacPherson strut, in the rear - a beam with hinged on the body trailing arms. For increase roll stability and improve handling inside the beam, a stabilizer bar is installed, the ends of which are fixed to the suspension arms. As for the reliability of the suspension, it is difficult to call it hardy. Most of all complaints are caused by the resource of shock absorbers and their springs, which in rare cases exceeds 30,000 km. Wheel bearings can start to buzz even after 20,000 km (rear ones require adjustment), but often they are enough for 30-40 thousand km, ball bearings will last about the same. Silent blocks and thrust bearings run an average of 50-70 thousand km.

As for the reliability of the steering rack, it all depends on the operating conditions, but if we take the average, then its resource is 60-80 thousand km. Steering tips and rods start knocking after 50,000 km. It should be noted that all data refer only to original parts, also, you need to understand that most owners take inexpensive analogues, and their resource can be many times less. The biggest plus running Chevrolet Lanos is that its repair is quite cheap, and if you have even the slightest idea about the device running car, you can do it yourself.

Salon

Traditionally for budget cars low-quality interior finishing materials, as a result, squeaks, knocks and other annoying sounds become commonplace. Also, due to poor quality, over time, the stove control buttons and other plastic elements begin to break off. Not famous for its durability and electrical wiring, over the years, this has a negative impact on the performance of the electrical equipment of the cabin (failures begin).

Outcome:

This car is the main contender for the role of the first car, and it will also be a good alternative to AvtoVAZ. If we talk about the reliability of this car, then the main components and assemblies, with proper maintenance, will not cause many problems. In this price range, Chevrolet Lanos is perhaps the most interesting option, but if you can buy a car a little more expensive, then it’s better to take a closer look.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you had to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your review that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Replacing a lamp in some other car is a relatively simple operation: lift the hood, remove the lamp from the socket, replace it with a working one and close the hood. H To replace the lamps in the Chevrolet Lanos headlight, you need to remove its body with the contents from the car body. You can try to replace it without removing the headlight unit, but then there is a possibility of damage to the parts of the unit, which will entail either repairing the housing or replacing it.

To remove the headlight housing from its location, you will need a 10 wrench, with which we unscrew two bolts and a nut. A socket wrench is best suited for this job. The bolts are easy to find, easy to see, and secure the headlight assembly to the top of the bar above it. It is more difficult to find the nut, since it is located between the headlight housing and the radiator and closes the wires in the harness from the car owner.

After unscrewing the bolts and nut, we take out the headlight unit from the attachment point. To do this, lift the housing to the top and remove it from the socket towards the wing of the car. Carefully remove the stud to which the headlight unit was attached to the nut and take out the block body fifteen centimeters to disconnect the wires.

Consider the example of the right headlight (when viewed in the direction of the car). The wires are connected in two places in the case: in the middle and from the near edge of the car radiator. We carefully disconnect the middle block, and the last one, which supplies electricity to the turn lamp, can not be disconnected, but the contact block with the lamp can be removed. To do this, you need to turn the gray cartridge with the lamp counterclockwise by forty-five degrees. To remove the central block of contacts, you need to press the latch at the top of the block and carefully remove it.

After disconnecting the wires, we put the headlight housing on a workbench or table for more convenient work with it, with the optical elements away from us. We see on the left the connector for the turn lamp, then the round cover of the lamp compartment high beam, behind it is a block of contacts, and on the right is the cover of the dipped beam lamp compartment and the dimensions lamp.

Carefully remove the cover of the dipped beam section and see the dipped beam lamp block, and to the right the side light lamp mount. Then we carry out the replacement of a faulty dipped beam lamp.

But when installing, be careful, since the lamp, according to the design features of the headlight unit, can be installed in two positions, but you need to install it in the correct position. If installed incorrectly, the low beam of the car will dazzle oncoming drivers, creating emergencies. Therefore, when installing, make sure that the dipped beam lamp is installed in the lens with the protrusion up.
It is necessary to assemble the headlight in the reverse order of disassembly. The assembled headlight unit should not be immediately fixed, but it is better to first check the correct installation and operation of all the lamps and in the desired mode. If everything is in order and working in the correct mode, then securely install the case in place and have a good trip.

Chevrolet Lanos is an economy class car. It was first introduced in 2008. Naturally, you should not expect any outstanding performance from an economy class car. And Chevrolet Lanos also has its pros and cons. However, shortcomings are often revealed, which should not be. Moreover, defects appear in all major systems and parts of the car. They appear in both new and used cars. And regardless of what equipment the car, in what body it was purchased.

Advantages and Advantages of Chevrolet lanos:

1. Affordable price;
2. Small dimensions. Convenient to park;
3. Elegant appearance;
4. Easy to manage;
5. Accelerates quickly;
6. The salon is designed for 5 people;
7. Volume luggage compartment 322 liters;

Vehicle equipped five speed manual transmission. Its main drawback is not so much in reliability and service life, but in user qualities. The device does not turn on clearly and is noisy. Changing the oil will help fix the situation. This procedure must be performed every 30 thousand km. Thus, the hum will become quieter or disappear at all, but for a while.

After 55 thousand km, the wings loosen for no apparent reason. Adjusting the node will help restore the previous state. The clutch can last no more than 60 thousand km. Longer periods of up to 100 thousand km are also known, subject to careful treatment.

The disadvantage of the body is paintwork. It is of poor quality, so chips and scratches quickly appear on it. Corrosion resistance is low, parts begin to rust after three years. Arches, sills, door edges, trunk and hood lids are especially vulnerable. You can deal with the problem. It is enough to treat the body with a special anti-corrosion agent every 5 years.

The weak point is the trunk lock. Over time, it fails, it needs to be replaced with a new one. in the salon and luggage compartment moisture may form.

A common problem with the Chevrolet Lanos is the low efficiency of the brakes, especially the rear ones. Especially it manifests itself if you do not change brake fluid every 30 thousand kilometers.

Chassis

Elements of the Chevrolet Lanos walker are distinguished by their short operation. Car owners emit weak shock absorbers. Already after 50 thousand kilometers, a comfortable suspension ceases to be such. There are many complaints about wheel bearings, which begin to crunch after 20-25 thousand km. ball joints require replacement every 50-60 thousand km. Their sudden breakdown is a frequent malfunction of Lanos. Another “sore” of the machine is steering rack. Often there is a leak, a knock, a hum, and the tips of the steering rack fail.

There are many problems with the engine. And if the 1.6-liter engine more or less pleases the owners with stable operation, then the 1.5-liter engine requires constant attention. The timing belt often breaks after 70-80 thousand km. This causes the valves to close. Therefore, experts give advice to constantly check the condition of the belt and replace it, as well as install new rollers. The situation is similar with the alternator drive belt, which requires replacement after 50-60 thousand km.

Often the cylinder head gasket fails, a leak begins. Absolute pressure and throttle position sensors in the injection system often also stop working.

Cooling system

The cooling system is also often subject to complaints. The radiator is notable for its unreliability. Leaking antifreeze - common problem. Also many owners vehicle replace the thermostat and the sensor responsible for the operation of the cooling fan.

Gear box

Of course, weak sides found at the checkpoint. The factory clutch disc is distinguished by its short service life. Often it is only enough for 50 thousand km. And if the car is constantly stuck in traffic jams, then a breakdown can occur earlier. After 80-100 thousand km, the box starts to buzz a lot. You can fix the problem by changing the oil. And another common problem is the operation of the checkpoint backstage, which can be misaligned for no reason.

It would seem, what problems can arise in the cabin? However, Chevrolet Lanos excelled in everything. Many owners noted such a factory assembly defect as a poor-quality rear-view mirror mount. For many, it simply fell off a month and a half after purchase. There are complaints and tightness. In some cars, the rear window is poorly glued, which is why water gets inside the cabin. There are also problems such as a broken blower switch, the clock falling out of the center console, creaking rear seats. Such minor defects, as a rule, the owners solve on their own with the help of improvised means. However, in the complex, all breakdowns do not leave the best impression of the car.

The main disadvantages of the Chevrolet Lanos

1. High fuel consumption
2. Low noise isolation
3. Small interior and trunk
4. Low quality paintwork
5. Low corrosion resistance
6. small ground clearance
7. Bad dynamics.

Conclusion.

Thus, when buying a Chevrolet Lanos car and trying to save money, the owners are constantly spending money on repairs. The machine requires the closest attention and care, regular replacement of spare parts. To reduce the risk of breakdown at the most inopportune moment, it is recommended to carry out regular maintenance and diagnostics. At the same time, it is not known which system, part of the car will need to be “treated” again. And this is due to the fact that vulnerabilities Chevrolet Lanos have a lot.

P.S: Car owners, if you notice frequent malfunctions this or that detail of Lanos, then report it in the comments below.

1. Yuri

   I want to say a little in defense of Lanos. I don’t even have a Lanos, but Chance 1.5, 2009 onwards. The first thing that changed is the shock absorbers in a circle for 75,000 km, 2 out of 4 flowed. After 3000 km, I changed the wheel bearings, the right one began to buzz. Timing changed at 112000KM. And, I also changed the radiator at 82000 km. These are all major replacements. The worst thing is the body. The front fenders rotted to holes in 6 years. Soundproofing is good for its class. The engine and gearbox are at a good level, I change the oil in the engine every 10,000 km, I haven’t changed it in the gearbox yet (it doesn’t make noise and switches well), but, I forgot, I changed the clutch at 109,000 km. Changing oil with filters costs an average of 2200-2500t.r. In general, if not the body of the machine, the rest is very personal. Ey, that's how it is. Thank you.

2. Novel

   How? It’s easier, according to your description, to scrap the car right away on the day of purchase, just throw it into the shredder and digest it ... I drive a 2005 Chevrolet, mileage is 82 t.km. None of the above sores, except for sound insulation, have been noticed so far. Even experienced car owners envy the paintwork, the suspension is super, for the entire time of use it has never snorted the engine protection, although in the country there is a terrible gap in the form of holes. Is the mirror falling off? Nonsense! Rear glass? Korean with a sealant, apparently Korean, never leaked. Sensors also do not compress brains. What else? Posting Ukraine "Dneprodzerzhinsk". It causes dissatisfaction and doubts, all the harnesses are wrapped with electrical tape from the factory, as it is not neat, in general, the khokhlyaks are messed up with wiring, but everything is OK. For parts, the box is perfect, the clutch is super, the brakes? Changed due to the development of discs and drums in the circle Brembo Italy (discs, pads, drums) Brake fluid Brembo DOT 5.1, engine oil Motul 2100 15W50, Motul W80 gearbox, Japan Totachi Long Life collant carboxylate antifreeze, timing belts and Bosch alternators. There is no power steering, and it’s so comfortable, the rail does not show signs of illness — everything is zergud. Ball, cv joints, springs, shock absorber cartridges, thrust bearings, wheel bearings, radiator, silent blocks - all native Polish-Korean. Gaskets yes looked condition under valve cover and changed the gasket so that there was nothing (the cover was accidentally put in the dust crumbs with a gasket in the garage). There are no problems either with a poorly closing glove compartment or with a trunk, it also does not torment the gas tank hatches in winter (I pry with a plastic crowbar to dismantle the interior elements of the cabin - it is harmless to the paintwork). The light in the block headlights, the rear linted LED bulbs - the light of each section is super, especially pleasant in the turn signals, there are diodes in the repeaters on the sides, in the front there are ordinary Hella +50 Hella dimensions and linded LEDs in the repeaters. Candles NGK and indeed, all consumables famous brands, oils and other liquids, lamps, filters, belts, pads, and batteries Exide premium 61 A/H because the car was inherited and stood for a long time for the battery, the old battery was planted at “0” 7 times and after driving I dumped it on the scales for 780 rubles. Fairytale car. If I am going to change something serious, then, based on quality and durability, it’s only for comfort that has been unattended for a long time. Remained as it is now. And not because of the fact that everything fell apart to ... or don't like it. I completely forgot the brushes, threw out the factory kids during the downtime of the machine, managed to harm them and stuck Hella 19″. I think if there is something in the second typewriter viburnum station wagon, then it is not comparable with Lanos. The clutch, frankly, is designed for the Hulk rather than in the Lanos, the accelerator is electronic and empty more pressing than the throttle cable of the Lanos, the shock absorbers at speed in viburnum are ready to shake off all your bones and turn your guts out when you just float along the road in Lanos))). Only the insulation is lame in Lanos, which I mentioned above. But, I think I’ll solve the only problem with soundproofing manually))) And site errors 1e lanos drive to a maximum of 167 km / h, lanos sport was produced for a short time in Korea with automatic transmission, yes yes - a 3-door automatic 1.5 engine, travels 161 km / h and 2e Lanos was created in 1998 with Daewoo models Lanos, created for Daewoo replacements Nexia was then Chevrolet T100, Chevrolet Lanos Saloon, Chevrolet Kalos, Chevrolet kalos saloon, Chevrolet lanos sport Korea automatic, ZAZ Chance "sens". Sports like sens was a hatchback. In general, a well-groomed machine, which I met as mine is only 3 out of 300 I saw, is worth the money, I like the machine for its simplicity and comfort, although it’s just from the SX configuration - the driver’s airbag and a presentable steering wheel get tired of everything))) Brushes on the hood does not scratch and even the original muffler bank Daewoo Korea- didn't rot.

3. Do not judge strictly

   4 years (100t.km) and normal flight)) pah pah pah … The most interesting thing is that in the first year I hit 50t.km. With regards to paintwork, yes, not very good, no doubt! BUT! The car is 10 years old, but it is native, and if it weren’t for my personal jambs (and my wife, respectively :)), it would be much better. Salt, xuyol and other reagents finish off everything else. Suspension hood! Yes, not a Merc, but it is justified by a rare replacement and a deshman price tag! In short, I’ll go straight to the shitty one: headlights, stove, consumption for 1.5l 10l in the city is somehow not for cafes. For me, this is everything. And also it's all treated inexpensively, so fuck this car with a market price of 20t.r. (It was for this price that I bought two cars, and one in full stuffing) and a maximum of 150t.r. not taking into account the bargaining, but there the mosquito won’t undermine the nose, it’s better than our auto industry (yes, wankers-youngsters who love pots ask me) I have everything. Thank you for your attention.
