What engine on Chery bonus a13. Sino-Ukrainian Bonus from Chery
And again, a young, but very dynamically developing and fairly well-known car company from Middle Kingdom Chery (founded in 1997) in a hurry to participate in the section of the most popular segment of the Russian automotive market - small-calm cars of the budget class.
From May 2011, a new model of this category appeared in Russia - Chery Bonus. In the Middle Kingdom, this model is called Chery A13 or Chery Fulwin, and in Ukraine - Zaz Forza. Strictly speaking, the bonus is a somewhat modified model A13 of the 2008 sample, which in turn has a fighter platform as the well-known model Chery Amulet borrowed from Seat Toledo 1991. Although, of course, the aggregates and knots of the car were seriously improved.
In Russia, bonuses are delivered solely from the Zaporizhia Automobile Plant (ZAZ). Zaporizhia Automobile Plant has established a practically full cycle of production of this car. In addition to the welding and painting of the body, more than half of the components are also made in Ukraine. Thus, the engines are manufactured at the Melitopol Motor Plant (it is interesting that the plant is founded in 1908) in CJSC ZAZ, discs on a wheel plant in Kremenchug, and tires manufactured in British technology on a fairly well-known Ukrainian enterprise Rosava. In addition, cars are equipped with batteries, dashboard, trimming, exhaust system, seats and other parts of Ukrainian production. The percentage of localization of component parts is growing all the time.
Perhaps this option of the Chinese-Ukrainian "Zaporozhets" and scare some of the potential buyers accustomed to believe that in Ukraine except the borscht and the boiler in Kiev can not be anything good. But in fact, you can still argue, whose assembly and whose details are better - Chinese or Ukrainian. So Zaporizhzhya specialists were horrified when the first Chinese A13 came to the plant - the car was driven worse than Tavria. I had to change the silent blocks in the front suspension, which were as much as it seemed that the car was already a hundred thousand kilometers. The lining and details of the interior heated by the Sun, source so much as an empty that they also had to immediately localize. In general, the machine actually turned out somewhat better than the Chinese sample.
The body is positioned by the body as a sedan. In fact, it is a liftback as the rear door (trunk) rises along with the rear glass and the rear seat is folded. Machine length - 4.269 meters. Width - 1.686 meters. Height - 1.492 meters. Wheel base - 2.527 meters. Rear track - 1.422 meters. Front - 1.448 meters. The magnitude of the road lumen is 162 mm. (Although some targeted only 140-150 mm.).
The four-cylinder engine volume of 1.5 liters (1497 cc.) SQR477F developed together with Austrian AVL firm with pleasure eats 92 gasoline and at 6000 revolutions should develop power in 109 horses. 5-speed mechanical gearbox QR515MHA. In the future, it is planned to install a machine gun. Fuel consumption: city - 9.7 l / 100km., Route 5.8l., Mixed cycle - 7.2l.
The front suspension MacPherson is independent and has a transverse stability stabilizer. The rear suspension is a semi-dependent beam on two longitudinal levers. Wheels 185/60R15.
The steering is equipped with a hydraulicer, it makes it easy to rotate the steering wheel, but the degree of informativeness leaves much to be desired. The number of rollets of the steering wheel "from and to" a little more than three, adjust the "Branc" is possible only in the angle of inclination. Rew - 11 meters within the radius. The brakes like brakes - inhibit, but with a frequent use of their use, it begins to smoke with a boating clutch.
As for the conveniences of the driver and passengers. In the front seats, there can be quite comfortable people of almost any growth. Rear for high people remains a sufficient kneel (which is favorably distinguished by this model from other machines of this class), but the head will rest in the roof and the only thing that in this case can guarantee the lowest Chinese so it is that the roof will endure.
Every bonuses are needed, every bonuses are important
What pleases: in the cars of the Ukrainian assembly there is no unpleasant smell of inherent in all cars assembled in China. The interior of the cabin, though rustling, but quite pulls on his class. As for the exterior, there are opinions here. Some believe that the body design created by the Chinese together with the Italian Designer Atelier Torino Design is for the vehicle of a similar class of perfection. Others - what is nothing special.
CHERY BONUS cars in Russia are sold in four types of configuration at a price of 330 thousand to 390 thousand rubles. Depending on the ambitions of the seller, as well as from the stocks held by them, the cost of the machine may vary in the direction of a decrease or an increase of 20-30 thousand rubles.
Even in the simplest configuration "BASE", the car is equipped with two front airbags, air conditioning, a central lock with remote control, front windows of a brake, audio system with two speakers, alarm and an informative display. In the second configuration, rear window lifters, adjustment and heating of side mirrors, additional two speakers in the rear doors.
In the third configuration, heated front armchairs, decorative caps on wheels and improved airbags. In the top modification, the car is supplied with cast discs and two more additional speakers.
Warranty - 3 years or 100,000 km run.
A little later - in September 2011, in Russia there were exactly the same cars and from the same manufacturer with the body of the hatchback. They are called Chery Very and differ, only the total body length. In fact, it is restyling the Bonus model.
So what is the bonus?
Since these cars managed to ride on our roads for half a half or two years, and reviews appeared. Everything is as always for cars of this class and our and Chinese. I exaggerate - alone are satisfied and grief do not know, and others have breakdown almost on the second day. Therefore, summing up:
The car is sufficiently comfortable for high-rise people in comparison with other cars of this class due to seats contributing to direct landing, which is convenient for short trips around the city (+) and not very convenient for long distances (-) (- when it is advisable to fall apart and suck) .
The equipment of the car is very rich and decently ahead of the nearest (a little cheaper) competitor in Lada Priora and does not lag behind the more expensive models of the same segment - Hyundai, Voltsvagen, Renault. (+).
A very voluminous trunk and a total large volume of the luggage compartment with a folded back seat (+). You need to manage the back of the rear seat with fixation from two sides (-).
At 110 km / h, there is chic (+). At 130 km / h or the lifts are buzzing as an aircraft (-).
Warranty service leaves a number of questions. Many will have to do at your own expense (-).
And at the end of myself: probably, after all, the bonus in this case is that Zaporizhzhya engineers brought the average Chinese model to a level a little better than the average.
Chery Bonus debuted in 2008, and the domestic market came in 2011. It was a thoroughly upgraded predecessor platform - Amulet. The assembly of the model was carried out at the full cycle in Ukraine, at the Zaporizhia car factory. There Chinese is known as Zaz Forza.
The body shape of the bonus is similar to the sedan, but, like amulet, is actually Liftback. For the design answered masters from the Italian studio Torino Design. The novelty turned out to be shorter than the predecessor, but it became higher and wider. The wheelbase has increased. As a result, in the cabin added the front and rear passengers.
In 2011, they offered the version of the hatchback, which was named Very. Due to the shorter feed, the car lost 13 cm length. The remaining dimensions are identical.
Basic models were equipped with air conditioning, a central lock and driver's airbag. Audio system with support for MP3 format, front passenger airbag, heated seats and ABS were available in a more expensive configuration. The top version was highlighted by 15-inch alloy wheels and parking sensors.
Engine
Cherie Bonus relied only one power unit - four-cylinder gasoline atmospheric volume of 1.5 liters and returns 109 hp The 16-valve engine of the ACTECO SQR477F family is a product of the joint development of Chinese and the Austrian AVL firm. The engines were collected on the territory of Ukraine - in Melitopol.
Motor has one camshaft and hydraulic valve clearance compensators. The gas distribution mechanism is activated with a toothed belt. The manufacturer instructs its update every 40,000 km. However, the belt is often rushing, and without having lived to the next regulatory work. In this case, the bend of the valves is inevitable. The main reason is a large number of fakes and low-quality analogues. They sometimes give up after 10-20 thousand km.
Using the timing belt, the timing belt is driven and pump. It can cheat or flush in 40-60 thousand km. It is not worth pulling with replacement. Over time, the pump begins to twisted, which leads to an observation of the timing belt or even to its cliff. Precedents are available. The cost of the original pump is about 1,000 rubles, but high-quality analogs serve longer (from 1,500 rubles).
In the cold season, the owners often complain that the engine will hardly be launched or stall during warming up. Sometimes it is possible to get rid of the problem after replacing the adsorber valve (600 rubles). But most likely, the reason lies in an unsuccessful engine of the engine operation.
After 40-90 thousand km, it is necessary to change the supports of the force aggregate (1-2 thousand rubles). The most vulnerable is the front. In addition, it is possible to update the thermostat (300 rubles), ignition coils (2-3 thousand rubles) and oxygen sensors (1.5-2 thousand rubles). Subsequently, it is necessary to repair the starter and generator. The new node is available for 5-6 thousand rubles.
Transmission
The engine works in a pair with a 5-speed mechanic. Unfortunately, the box often requires repairs on the segment of 50-100 thousand km. Most often you have to change the bearings of the primary and secondary shaft. But the list may turn out to be synchronizers 1 and 2nd transmission, 2nd gear gear or differential bearings. Repair costs will be at least 10,000 rubles.
Factory clutch may require replacement after 50-70 thousand km. The new original will serve as much. Replacements of eminent manufacturers (in particular Valeo) have a higher resource. A set of a good analog will cost 10,000 rubles. Previously, the original clutch basket and release bearing can be tested.
From the case of the case of the case in the area of \u200b\u200battention and shruses: external and internal (1-2 thousand rubles per hinge).
Chassis
The suspension scheme, in comparison with the amulet, did not change: MacPherson racks in front and half-dependent beam from behind. However, the geometry is different: the wheelbase and the front track increased.
The most vulnerable elements are rear shock absorbers (1-2 thousand rubles). They could flow after 20-50 thousand km. The front (2-2.5 thousand rubles) served more than 40-70 thousand km.
After 50-100 thousand km, the sillars of the silent blocks of the front levers and the rear beam (150-300 rubles per piece).
The wheel bearings often surrendered after 20-70 thousand km. The front changes separately (2,000 rubles for bearings), and the rear - assembled with the hub (1.5-2 thousand rubles per hub).
The steering rack could be stored after several thousand kilometers. And it is often necessary to sort out it after 60-80 thousand km (begins to grow hard or flow). Remkomplekt is available for 3,000 rubles, and a new rail - for 16,000 rubles.
The waterproof pump may also require and the bearings are prematurely bearing. The cost of the original pump is about 3,000 rubles.
Body and Salon
Unfortunately, after 4-6 years there is no no-no and detect corrosion foci. Most often rust affects the rear wheel arches, less often - thresholds.
The interior looks rustic, and the finish materials seem cheap. In the cabin, crickets are often settled, and the castles are often knocking in the doorway.
After 4-5 years of operation, some owners face a breakdown of a driver's visor - a bracket and plastic fastening elements are destroyed. No longeons and heated seats.
Many bonus owners found water in the legs of the front passenger. It penetrated the salon through poorly skneled windshield or a clip located under the windshield above the cabin filter (under the jab).
In the future, the wiper begins to capricious. Most often, the reason lies in the refused motor of the electric drive. Sooner or later, the terminals in the castles of doors and trunk are denied. Consection can be replaced by new ones.
Conclusion
Chery Bonus (Very) can not boast of exemplary reliability. The situation was aggravated by the low quality assembly, and the resource of original spare parts was too small. Makes its contribution and a large number of counterfeit on the market of spare parts. Fortunately, the case does not reach the engine overhaul, and troubleshooting does not require large financial costs.
For Driver Cheri Bonus (A13) is not a secret that the indicator on the dashboard "Check-engene" It is a signal of Cherry fault. In the normal state, this icon should light up when the ignition is turned on, at this moment the check of all Chery Bonus systems (A13) begins, in a working car, the indicator goes out after a few seconds.If something is wrong with Chery Bonus (A13), then "Check-engene" does not go out, or lights up again after a while. He may flash, which unequivocally speaks of a serious malfunction. This indicator will not inform the owner of Cherry what exactly is the problem, it draws attention to the fact that the diagnosis of the Cheri Bonus engine is required (A13).
Since all foreign cars, not excluding Chery Bonus (A13), tightly tied to electronics, A huge number of sensors follow the operation of the car. Therefore, the diagnostics of the engine Cheri Bonus (A13) is by and large checking the most important assembly machine, with the exception of the suspension, which is verified by mechanical path.
There are a large number of specialized equipment for the diagnosis of the engine Cheri Bonus (A13). There are compact and fairly universal scanners, which can afford not only professionals. But there are cases when ordinary portable scanners do not identify malfunctions in the engine Chery Bonus engine (A13), then the diagnosis should be carried out solely licensed software and a chery scanner.
Chery diagnostic scanner shows:
- The value of the opening of the throttle percentage;
- Engine turnover in rpm;
- Engine temperature Chery Bonus (A13);
- Voltage in the onboard network Chery Bonus (A13);
- Air temperature absorbed into the engine;
- Chery Bonus ignition advance angle (A13);
- The fuel injection is nozzle. It is displayed in Miliseconds;
- Chery Bonus air flow sensor readings (A13);
- Indications of the oxygen sensor Cheri Bonus (A13);
1. To diagnose the engine Cheri Bonus (A13), first of all, the subcontrol space is visually inspected. On a good engine, there should be no leaks of technical fluids, whether it is oil, coolant, brake. In general, it is important to periodically purify the Cheri Bonus (A13) engine from dust, sand, dirt, it is necessary not only for aesthetics, but also for a normal heat dissipation!
2. Check the level and status of oil in the Chery Bonus engine (A13), the second test step. To do this, you need to pull the dipstick, and also look at the oil by unscrewing the bay lid. If the oil is black, and even worse, black and thick, it indicates that the oil has changed long ago.
If there is a white emulsion on the filling lid or it can be seen how oil is foaming, it can talk about water from or coolant into oil.
3. Checking Cheri Bonus Ignition Clamps (A13). Remove all the candles from the engine, they can be checked by one. They should be dry. If the candles are covered with a minor layer of yellowish or light brown Nagar, it is not worried about, such a nagar is quite normal and permissible phenomenon, does not affect the work.
If the Cheri Bonus (A13) is traces of liquid oil, then most likely the replacement of piston rings or oil-challenged caps. Black Nagar testifies to the re-entered fuel mixture. The reason is the wrong operation of the fuel system Cherry, or too clogged air filter. The main symptom will be increased fuel consumption.
Red raids on Crya Bonus candles (A13) is formed due to poor-quality gasoline, which contains a large number of metals particles (for example, a manganese, which increases the octane number of fuel). Such a flare spends the current well, which means with a significant layer of this plaque, the current will go on it without forming a spark.
4. Chery Bonus ignition coil (A13) fails not often, Most often it happens due to old age, insulation is damaged and a closure occurs. Change the coils are better in accordance with the rules mileage. But there is a breakdown cause bad candles or punched high-voltage wires. To check the Cherry coil, it must be removed.
After removal, you need to make sure in the integrity of the insulation, there should be no black spots or cracks. Further, the multimeter should go into the move, if the coil burned, the device will show the maximum possible value. Do not check the Cheri Bonus coil (A13) by the Deadov method for the presence of a spark between the candles and a metal part of the car. This method takes place in old cars, while on Chery Bonus (A13), due to such manipulations, it can not only burn the coil, but also the entire electric car.
5. Is it possible to diagnose the engine malfunction for smoke from the exhaust pipe Cheri Bonus (A13)? The exhaust can tell a lot about the state of the engine. From a good car in the warm season, there should be no thick or nasal smoke at all.
If the white smoke is visible, this may indicate a burned gasket or not tightness in the Cherry Bonus cooling system (A13). If smoke is black, then at best, these are problems due to the rejuvenated fuel mixture. At worst - problems with a piston group.
If smoke has a bluish shade, this suggests that the Chery Bonus engine (A13) consumes oil. At best, it will be necessary to replace the oil-changing caps, at worst - repair of the piston group. All this GAR is strongly clogging and reduces the life of the catalyst Cherry Bonus (A13), which does not cope with the purification of such impurities.
6. Diagnosis of the engine Chery Bonus (A13) by sound. The sound is a gap, which is exactly what is said in the theory of mechanics. There are gaps in almost all moving connections. In this small gap, there is an oil film that does not allow the items to touch. But over time, the gap expands, the oil film can no longer be distributed evenly, the details of the Chery Bonus motor (A13) are friction, as a result, very intense wear begins.
Each node in the engine Cheri Bonus (A13) is characterized by a certain sound:
- Ringing, frequent sound, audible on all engine speed, indicates the need to adjust the valves;
- A smooth knock, which does not depend on the revolutions caused by the valve distribution mechanism, which indicates the wear of its elements;
- A distinct short knock, increasing on high revs, warns about the imminent end of the connecting rod insert.
7. Diagnostics of the Cheri Bonus engine cooling system (A13). With the proper operation of the cooling system and sufficient heat sink, after the start of the engine, the liquid circulates only for a small circle through the stove radiator, which contributes to rapid warming as the engine itself and the Chery Bonus salon (A13) during the cold season.
When the normal operating temperature of the engine Cheri Bonus (A13) is achieved (about 60-80 degrees), the valve on a large circle is shown, i.e. The liquid partially flows into the radiator, where it is warm through it. In the event of a critical mark of 100 degrees, Cheri Bonus Thermostat (A13) opens to the whole, and the entire volume of the fluid passes through the radiator.
At the same time, the cherie bonus radiator fan is included (A13), it contributes to the best blowing of hot air between the coolant hops. Overheating can output the engine and will need expensive repairs.
8. Typical Crya Bonus cooling system malfunctions (A13). If the fan does not work when the critical temperature is reached, first of all it is necessary to check the fuse, then the Cheri Bonus fan (A13) itself is inspected and the integrity of the wires to it. But the problem may be global, the temperature sensor (thermostat) failed.
The performance of the Cheri Bonus thermostat (A13) is checked as follows: the motor is pre-warmed, the hand is applied to the bottom of the thermostat, if it is hot, it means well.
More serious problems may arise: Cheri Bonus Radiator (A13) will arise: Cheri Bonus (A13), break the valve in the lid of the filler neck. If the problems arose after replacing the coolant, then most likely the air traffic jam.
The next review is devoted to the Chinese car Cherry model Bonus in the body of a hatchback, which is better known as Cherie A13. At the end of the review, in addition to the traditional test drive car, Cheri Bonus, will be presented with an informative crash test.
The crash test was conducted by a specialized agency, in compliance with all the required norms. In addition, the crash test will allow to study the weaknesses of the machine, which will subsequently help with the choice of used instance. Also study the left-handed reviews about Cheri Bonus.
What I want to say first of all, a car with such a body is known in many countries and, by the way, referred to him in different ways. For example, in Ukraine, this is a forz, except for the name, nothing in the car has changed. Therefore, speaking about the bonus, we will mean other representatives.
The front is highlighted by the classic grille of the radiator, why it is so close attention to it - most likely due to the fact that this is the only detail that is somehow positioned with the family-style concern.
Optics as a whole was borrowed from its Korean prototype, only with partial shares of change. The bumper turned out to be monolithic, with a huge share of the air intake department, with a large grid.
In the lateral part of the hatchback, it turned out modest, even chopped out. But, in principle, this is a style, and no one expected something amazing from the Chinese. As soon as prominent climbing, which are flawed in the rear plane and distinguish the wheeled arches.
Feed in terms of design is empty, it really is not enough of something, somehow not catchy and dull everything. Huge as for hatchback lanterns discovering even in the side part. Bumper turned out simply huge. In general, nothing remarkable.
Interior
In Chery Bonus, the general details of the design with other models are even clearly visible. If the hatchback has such a promotional design, its variant of the sedan is much more advanced in this regard. Why was made such a not justified choice, it is difficult to judge.
The Speedometer Panel is welcomed by a small monitor, an exact on-board computer on a completely monochrome basis. The rest of the classic "wells" with a pleasant backlight.
The steering wheel in a modern style, however, except for the three spoke cross section, little reminds about the modern way. He has no functionality, with the exception of adjustment in height.
The central division of the console is more pragmatic, here already made focus on some comfort for the driver. But still, the specifics of the placement of devices are not completely thought out. The same radio, there is no questions for her, but the bullets with the climate and deflectors are surprising. So archaic and no prudent placement is too noticeable.
Seats do not possess the comfort of the landing, but adequately hold on five passengers. Perhaps the back will be closed, but not critically. Front pleasant side support, it is a pity that it is not emphasized by a reliable pillow.
Specifications
Specifications in terms of the power of diversity will not receive. Only one engine was placed, alternatives to which will not provide in the near future. A gasoline unit equipped with 1.5 liter working volume, which allows in the best conditions to generate about 109 hp.
In principle, given the indicators of competitors, this motor has more opportunities even in terms of tuning modernization. But, it is worth understanding that any improvements in indicators lead to an inevitable reduction in the resource, which is evidenced by testing.
What else? The hatchback is equipped with only a manual box, perhaps in the future a machine will be offered, but so far so.
Suspension, and most importantly, the whole "truck" of its own production, on the same platform fasten and sedan. In principle, the characteristics of the chassis work are all satisfied, at least about Chery Bonus A13 Reviews in the negative key of the suspension are rare. Yes, and in the case of anything, spare parts for Cheri Bonus Hatchback A13 are presented in a huge amount. In terms of electronic rims, the machine will please only with standard ABS and EBDs that are available in the top.
In addition, the steering mechanism in this case is already provided in the "base" by the hydraulic cell. Also available parking sensors, but it is also available in the top. More electronic assistants, assistants manufacturer does not offer. In essence, the car is a representative of the budget segment, and according to the current standards it is not commensurable luxury.
Configuration and prices
For the domestic market, the car is currently not supplied, due to certain reasons, since the Russian versions of Chery Bonus gathered in Ukraine. Now the owner of Cherie Bonus wants to get at least 350,000 rubles, this is the price for the top package.
In general, when choosing a car, it is worth considering the state first of all, at least for Chery Bonus reviews are not bad enough. Three configurations were offered on the Russian market.
The price of basic, selected to the mark of 400,000 rubles., Cost for the period of 2012. In the basic equipment included: fabric interior, air conditioning, fog, pillow, steering wheel adjustment, immobilizer, headlight corrector, rear fog.
In the top to the listed couple of assistants, another pillow, rear windows, heated seats, audio system, as well as parking sensors, heated mirrors, casting, music with 6 speakers.
