Korean platform, German motors and even the Belarusian assembly. What you need to know about Used Opel Mokka

22.12.2020

Opel has repeatedly declared the desire to create a full-fledged car line, which is why in 2012 the first subcompact urban crossover Opel Mokka appeared. The GM GMM II platform, on which a new car was built, was already used by the General Motors designers during the third-generation Chevrolet Aveo design. The same platform is used on another crossover, having a lot of common with Mokka - Chevrolet Tracker. In the development of the platform for the model, the German race car driver Yoachim Wincelkhok took part. Therefore, we can say that Opel Mokka received a kind of sports temper.

The car from Opel differs from the analogues of other manufacturers with a large set of options. According to the documents, this is a compact crossover, but in fact the volume of the luggage compartment is much more than that of competitors. What does it say about? The volumetric lounge and the trunk tells us that the car is ideal not only for everyday city trips, but also for departures to long-distance traveling with the whole family. One of the advantages of the model is reliable power units. It is about what the resource of the engine Opel Mokka will tell in the article.

Line of power aggregates

In Russia, the crossover is available with three different gasoline engines and two transmissions. The car is distinguished by good dynamic indicators at the expense of a gasoline 1.8-liter engine at 140 "horses" and a torque of 178 nm at 6,300 revolutions per minute. The diesel 1.7-liter motor also provides high productivity of the crossover, contributes to the issuance of power in 130 horsepower and gives a torque of 300 nm at 2500 revolutions per minute.

Both motors are aggregated by a mechanical 5-speed gearbox that promotes the car's economy during trips around the city. Considerable importance in fuel economy plays automatically connected four-wheel drive. When there is no need for Formula 4x4, for example, within the city, mokka is operated at the expense of the front drive - additional fuel economy.

So the gamma of the power units of the model has the following installation options:

gasoline 1.4-liter engine for 140 forces in a pair with a 6-speed box, direct fuel injection and turbocharger in the intake manifold;
diesel 1.7-liter motor on 130 forces with 16-valve TRM and direct fuel injection system;
an atmospheric 1.8-liter engine with a 16-valve GDM and fuel distribution injection technology.

A 1.4 liter gasoline engine provides a crossover maximum dynamism - overclocking up to 100 km / h in just 9.9 seconds. The suspension is adapted to the Russian operating conditions - the independent spring suspension is installed in front, the rear is semi-independent. Brakes Front, like rear, disc, ventilated. In general, an excellent car for daily comfortable trips around the city.

The engine with a 1.4-liter workshop with a capacity of 140 forces received marking - A14net. This is a fairly new power unit, since for the first time it began to install on the GENERAL MOTORS family in 2010. A distinctive feature of the engine is the presence of turbocharging with a relatively small amount. A resource-intensive chain serves as a GDM drive, which serves for 100-120 thousand kilometers. This motor provides hydrocompensators, which frees the driver from the need to periodically adjust heat gaps. The A14NET power unit, in addition to Opel Mokka, equip more cars such as Opel Astra and Astra GTC.

The main disadvantage of the engine is considered a typical "Opolevsky" motor, chronic disease - leaks of engine oil through the valve cover laying at an early stage of operation of the machine. At the same time, even the owners of new cars who have not passed the stages of running, risk face to face with a parable, and nothing remains how to disassemble the new engine and change the gasket. Many especially beginner drivers scares the sound of the A14NET operation - it is characterized by a diesel base, which is due to the presence of hydrocomathers. Often, begins to whistle ahead of the pump time - it is best to replace it right away and not to tighten with repair, especially since the cost of its replacement is relatively small. In general, a good, peculiar power unit, not without flaws, on average, the engine resource Opel Mokka 1.4 is 350 thousand kilometers of run.

The European Department of General Motors, with the support of Japanese designers, a diesel power unit was developed with a 1.7-liter working volume and a capacity of 130 horsepower. The motor was equipped with a number of cars of the Opel brand - from Corsa to Vectra, and later on Cruze and Mokka. How much does this motor go? Much depends on the specifics of the operation of the crossover with a diesel engine, timeliness and quality of service.

The engine received a turbine, which, by the way, does not apply to the number of the most reliable power plant units. She "goes" on average 250-300 thousand kilometers, after which it requires updating and repair. What are weak places of installation? These are weak rubber seals that scattering before the deadline, which leads to the seeping of the working fluids of the motor outward. It is worth noting that the same disadvantages are peculiar to many old engines from General Motors.

The A18XER motor is, in fact, an accurate copy of the Z18XER, but with one difference - it "closed" euro-5 ecifications. The F18D4 factory index is installed under the hood of the Chevrolet Cruze car. Structurally, this motor is in line "four" with a 16-valve head of the cylinder block. The gas distribution phase change system is installed on both shafts. Such an engineering solution can be attributed to the advantages of the power unit, since the A18XER is characterized by high efficiency, power and acceptable level of fuel consumption.

But often it happens that the electromagnetic valve is premature fail. Most often, the first problems begin at the turn of 100 thousand kilometers of run. If the problem is detected, the valve is replaced. In some cases, banal cleaning helps. But if the proper effect did not bring the procedure - only replacement. A18xer has a reliable timing timing belt with a resource more than 120 thousand kilometers. The motor differs from the previous developments of the General Motors concern the presence of a receiver with variable length and lack of an EGR valve, which can also be attributed to the obvious advantage of the engine. There are no hydraulic compensators, which means that the driver will have to independently adjust the thermal gaps after every 100 thousand km of run.

Adjusting the gaps in A18XER occurs by selecting targeted glasses. Often, the owners say how the engine begins to told already with the passage of the first 100 thousand km. The reason for the ignition module, which in A18xer rarely "lives" in A18xer longer than 90-100 thousand km is rarely. These are the major faults that the Opel Mokka owner can face with the A18XER installed at the turn of the first 100-150 thousand kilometers. On average, the resource is 360 thousand, and the figure highly depends on the quality of the maintenance and operation of the car.

Opel Mokka engine resource for owners reviews

As the practice of Opel Mokka operation shows, the main difficulties that are waiting for the owner in the first stages - the turbine malfunction in the case of a tuberized modification, problems with the particulate filter and the EGR valve, the flows of the working fluids of the engine. It is from how quickly the owner of the crossover will eliminate these troubles, and the maximum possible resource depends. The sake of fairness should be said that the aforementioned problems are characteristic of many modern motors, both new and already with mileage. Minor breakdowns are eliminated relatively cheap, much more expensive repair will cost, capable of painting from banal little things. What other problems can give yourself to know during the operation of Opel Mokka? Further in the reviews of car owners.

A14net 1.4.

Maxim, Stavropol. I have a 2012 car with a 1.4-liter A14NET engine. I like the crossover everyone, pleases and reliable motor. Driving Opel Mokka passed 140 thousand kilometers, recently replaced the timing chain, which served 120,000 km. Motor problems at all turns did not actually delivered. The version of the machine with turbocharged, the speakers are enough for normal operation within the city. The oil changes every 7,500 kilometers, I prefer to fill the GM 5W30 DEXOS, which recommends using the manufacturer itself. I am confident that with a proper attitude to the car, the engine exhausted its resource fully, which is much more than 300,000 kilometers.
Igor, Tula. In 2014, he acquired Opel Mokka with an A14NET engine at 1.4 liters with turbocharging. Now on the odometer shows a mileage of 80 thousand kilometers. I have not yet changed the timing chain for 4 years of operation, does not ring anything, does not knock, the turns do not swim, does not troit. Fully satisfied with the acquisition made and do not regret the money spent - I took a new car from the salon, she really stands his money. I recommend to all owners of the crossover to monitor the state of the air system - regularly change the filters and do not neglect the passage. Then there will be no problems with your car.
Andrei, Moscow. The A14NET engine has proven himself at Opel Astra, I know several drivers who are flattering about this car. Opel Mokka 2015 itself, the resource of everything is 60 thousand kilometers. It was practically not triggered to the engine, all new, has not changed the drive of the timing, pump, rollers - all new. More than once heard, as they say that the "Opolev" motors "go" for 200,000 km - this is completely wrong. I admit that any even the most reliable engine can be "put" and for 50,000 km, but if approaching with the mind, the installation will serve more than 300,000 kilometers.

The resource announced at 350,000 kilometers takes place in practice, but in practice, the owners of the crossover with the A14net engine are faced with other numbers. The resource of the motor is in correlation with the timeliness of passing the planned and quality of car service. Under the condition of refueling the auto high-quality fuel and regular replacement of the producer recommended by the manufacturer of the grease material, the motor resource will be fully developed.

A17DTS 1.7

Mikhail, Novosibirsk. I do not want to jiggle, but so far a diesel engine A17DTS exceeds all my even bold expectations. What I want to mention first, this is the level of fuel consumption - only 6 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, which can not but rejoice. Convenient fit, comfortable salon, high-quality suspension, the steering wheel does not beat, there are no vibrations, the car is consistent and confidently holds the road. So far, we ride 50,000 kilometers, the engine works without problems in any modes, the manual box also does not deliver problems. I am confident that more than 300,000 kilometers will be held with quality service.
Oleg, Perm. Motors that have passed 500,000 kilometers are not uncommon. He himself is familiar with drivers who, who were called without significant breakdowns of Halmillion, and after the engine also capitalized. Machine with a turbo code A17DTS 2016, so far in perfect condition, and the power unit as a new one. Filters and candles try to change through 15,000 km, the oil is 7,500 km, we only fill the original lubricator. The module of the ignition coil, which is so often sinned by Opel owners, it is "native" and did not deliver problems. Very high quality car, but pay attention to the state of the diesel fuel, which fill in the gas tank machine.
Stanislav, Chita. Car 2013, diesel engine A17DTS with turbine + mechanical gearbox. As the owner refers to the driver and she is to him. I pass the maintenance regulated by the manufacturer and do not turn the engine at the maximum. As a result, no problems. An acquaintance is also Opel Mokka, so already for 70 thousand kilometers, the engine managed to put the engine.

The diesel 1.7-liter motor is demanding of the quality of the fuel, which is characteristic of all modern installations that are fed on the dizetopliva. Motor is not perfect, but resource-intensive and reliable. Ideally, the engine resource Opel Mokka 1.7 is 350-380 thousand km, on average the installation without serious breakdowns serves for 300 thousand km.

A18XER 1.8.

Sergey, Cheboksary. Opel Mokka 1.8 since 2013, during this time, the mileage was 100 thousand kilometers. Oil change after 8-10 thousand km. I use exclusively Mobil 0W40, with this substance the A18xer engine works quieter, smooth and more economical than with other engine oils. The oil does not "eat" - on the replacement before replacement. The belt served 100 pumps, which is slightly less than the maximum timing resource, however, with my driving style it is normal, since I most often wag a motor. Gasoline AI-95 and nothing else. The car is completely satisfied, the engine, surprisingly, does not deliver problems - the flow rate is normal, nothing flows and does not happen. In general, we all recommend this modification of the crossover, a resource of 300-350 thousand km more than real.
Ilya, Tyumen. Opel Mokka 2013, the A18XER engine is 1.8 liters, Mileage 200 thousand km, changed the thermostat, the corrugation of the exhaust pipe burned during the mileage of 90 thousand km. The service was told that it was unsuccessful, and in general, this motor is sensitive to the quality of fuel, so refuel only on proven and certified gas stations. I myself fuel AI-95 mainly "LUKOIL".
Egor, Moscow. As for me, so the most serious problem of the engine A18XER is a weak ignition module. I almost immediately replaced him, because "native" failed literally in a year, and I took a new car from the salon. Opel Mokka is ideal for Moscow - the suspension is the energy-intensive, fuel consumption is normal, not much "eats", the oil changes through 7-8 thousand km, I did not have any problems with the search GM 5W30 DEXOS. In time, pass through the lubricant, then the phase regulators will live for a long time, and the problems of the motor will not deliver in general.

A18XER refers to the number of reliable installations in the range of power units Opel Mokka. The resource of the motor, according to the reviews of the owners, is 350-360 thousand kilometers.

We list the "sores" of the most compact and most popular crossover Opel crossover, who left our market together with other models of this German brand shortly after the appearance.

Last world, including the Russian automotive market, in the fall of 2012, the Opel Mokka crossover did not possess any special talents. However, he appeared at the right time - at the peak of fashion small parkets. A pretty appearance of a new car popular in our country of a democratic German brand was enough to win the hearts of Russian buyers and buyers.

Most of them, rarely leaving the asphalt and generally the limits of the city, it was like Mokka a small clearance, a very conditional four-wheel drive and a closed interior.

Despite all this, a small crossover quickly gained popularity and already in the first full year of sales in Russia became the second most popular model "Opel" after Astra. And after another year, he was already a brand bestseller and entered the top 10 most popular compact passing in our country. However, the incredible success of the model against the background of the general fall of the selling "Opel" in our country broke off his sudden departure from Russia. Nevertheless, three from a small year, Russian official dealers managed to implement almost 45,000 parkelors, many of which are now available on the secondary market at fairly attractive prices.

Prehistory.

The first compact crossover of the Opel brand under the "coffee" name Mokka, located in the brand line of the brand below "Antara", was first represented by the public in the spring of 2012 at the Geneva Motor Show. The model was built on the same global "GEIMO" platform Gamma II, as well as Chevrolet Aveo, as well as the last two generations of small SPARK hatchbacks. Parquetnik went on sale in Europe at the beginning of October of the same year. In the UK, the car is known under the name Vauxhall Mokka, and in North America and China in the redesigned form as Buick Encore.

Also, the model has a twin brother - Chevrolet Trax. He is Holden Trax. Initially, the Parquarters was produced at GM Korea's facilities in South Korea. But in the fall of 2014, due to the greatest demand for "moku", Opel also launched the production of the crossover at the factory in the Spanish Zaragoza. Parketnik updated in 2016, that is, after the cessation of sales in Russia. He got the name Mokka X and a more sporty look. In particular, new bumpers, modified lighting, revised interior and dashboard, as well as a new 152-strong gasoline engine 1.4.

"Security"

The choice of used Opel Mokka crossovers sold in our country for three more than a year is not so small. In addition to three versions of engines, two types of gearboxes in machines with mileage can be both front (50%) and four-wheel drive (50%). Moreover, both of those and others - equally. However, four leading wheels can only be obtained on gasoline "mocke". In combination with the mechanics, the four-wheel drive was available on the machines with the turbo engine, and with the ACP only with the "Atmospheric".

Parketniks with a 6-range automaton (54%) occurs a little more than with a 5- and 6-speed mechanics (46%). The overwhelming majority of Opel Mokka in the secondary market - with the undead 140-strong gasoline "fourth" 1.8 (75%). Machines with turbo engine 1.4 of the same power three times less (24%). And with a 130-strong diesel engine 1.7 under the hood on sale units (1%). After all, such crossovers were the most expensive. They were offered to customers only with a machine gun and only in the top-end configuration of Cosmo.

Body

The very first moks brought to Russia recently turned to 5 years. There are no serious problems from galvanized and good painted bodies of the crossover, if only the car was not in an accident. Local foci of corrosion may appear except in places of chipping paints on the hood, wings, above the windshield and at the bottom of the doors. Do not be afraid of redheaded under the lining of the license plate on the trunk door.

The culprits of their appearance are small penny screws of fastening the decorative chrome plank on the reverse side. They are easy to change. By the way, chrome on this cover for 7100 rubles seals over time in the first place. Then bubbles the coating of the frame of the fog of 1400 rubles in the front bumper. Less often hovers chrome with a falseradiator lattice for 4,200 rubles. The problem of blades of front windows, peculiar to the "Opel" models of the "two thousand," did not bypass and "moku".

The windshield can crack both from the temperature difference in the cabin and on the street and from the hitting of the stone from under the wheels of other participants in the movement. New original costs more than 30,000 rubles. But, having changed it more than once, the owners of the Parketnik usually prefer more durable analogs from 8,000 to 12,000 rubles. Not the strongest in "moks" and lighting. Plastic head optics for 10 200 rubles for the usual block fair and 39,200 rubles for xenon overwhelming, and the rear lights of 15,000 rubles are sometimes cracking.

Engines

In Russia, Opel Mokka was officially sold only with three rather powerful motors, well-known by "Astra" J and Chevrolet Cruze. These are 140-strong row gasoline "fourths": atmospheric 1.8 (A18XER) and turbocharged 1.4 (A14NET). And still developed by ISUZU engineers a reliable 130-strong diesel 1.7 (A17DTS). The time-tested, hopeless 1.8, well established itself under the hood of Opel Astra H. This engine with a timing engine drive is a low-noise belt for 2500 rubles, which should be changed after 120,000 km with two rollers for 4800 rubles, referring to the purity of motor oil.

The neglect of its regular replacement can undermine the health of the gas distribution phase adjustment system (CVCP). If it is not in order, the engine taheds like diesel. By the way, the Diesel "Mokki" on the Russian market, judging by the reviews of the owners, is quite good, quite reliable and quite economical. The key to the success of it is long and trouble-free operation - high-quality fuel on proven gas stations and replacing the fuel filter from 1600 rubles every 30,000 km or 2 years of operation. This motor, like other diesel engines, does not like long drill riding. It can cause failures in the work of the EGR valve for 18,000 rubles.

"Turbochetter" 1.4 with a timing of a timing chain for 2000 rubles is the third on reliability in the Mokka Motor List. This modern 16-valve with high-quality fuel and qualified maintenance can serve to large repairs at least 150,000, and even 200,000 km. Replacements during the operation of the "Turborates" may require: the mass flow sensor of air from 7400 rubles, a challenged adsorber valve worth 3000 rubles or a pump for 7900 rubles. If a turbine fails - prepare at least 37,300 rubles for a new one.

KPP

The gearboxes "Mokka" from "Astra" did not get everything. Instead of a 5-speed MKP F17, a gasoline "atmospheric" crossover received the mechanics D16 with the same number of steps. But the 6-speed M32 is the same as the "Opel" hatch. Choosing a car with the first, pay attention to the integrity of the glands and gaskets - this box sometimes suffers from oil leaks. She, like the second, because of its low level there are problems with bearings from 400 rubles, synchronizers of 4500-5,000 rubles and with differential.

So do not make sneakers, noises and vibrations in the box during a test drive and pay attention to the clarity of the transmission. Despite its shortcomings, both mechanical boxes "moks" is still reliable than the 6-range automatic machine GM 6T40, too, from Astra. In addition, it is thoughtful and leisurely. In order for the ACP to work better, the oil in it should be changed more often prescribed 50,000 km. The least problematic is considered upgraded machines on cars not older than 2014.

They should not overheat, and the operation of the hydrotransformer does not have to cause complaints. All-wheel drive transmission with an electronic-controlled multi-circuit coupling BORG WARNER is reliable and fears does not cause. If only the last owner is not climbing the car in the mud and did not drive in deep puddles, counting the "moku" of the SUV. In this case, it may require repair or replacement as an electronic coupling unit under the bottom for 14,900 rubles and the coupling itself for 80,000 rubles.

Rest

Chassis "Moks" without big problems and losses are not less than 100,000 km. Prior to this, the mileage of the replacement may require the front shock absorbers of 5,700 rubles and the stabilizer rack from 800 rubles. The ball supports of 1300 rubles and the hub bearings of 3100 rubles are often in a crossover not many more than 30,000 km. Brake pads from 900 rubles do not often wait to 50,000 km. But brake discs for 3,800 rubles serve twice as much. With the electrician, Opel Mokka is worse.

And often there are problems from the equipment from which the engine operation directly depends. For example, the ignition module for 12,150 rubles in the Petrol versions of the PARKT, sometimes starts to flure after 60,000 km of mileage. Not any "mokka" drives more than 100,000 km with the same generator, which costs 25,800 rubles. On the same mileage, it is possible to change the radiators for 12,200 rubles due to the low resource of their bearings. Well, the ABS sensors on the front wheels can with enviable regularity "die" every 50,000 km from moisture from entering them.

How much?

Prices for used "moks" begin in Russia about 580,000 rubles for early 2012 instances with a basic atmospheric gasoline engine 1.8, 5-speed mechanics, front-wheel drive and mileage up to 150,000 - 180,000 km. Crossovers with turbo engine 1.4 can be found more expensive - from 600,000 rubles. And for diesel options, their current owners are asking for at least 790,000 rubles.

All-wheel drive Opel Mokka that with mechanics that the machine is offered from about 620,000 rubles and more expensive. The freshest crossovers sold from dealerships in 2015 are estimated at a maximum of 1,100,000 rubles. Most often it is machines in the top-optation of Cosmo with leather interior, rich in equipment, full-wheel drive and machine gun. They usually do not exceed 50,000 km.

Our choice

A small attractive Opel Mokka with mileage, despite his presence of some problems and "sores", can be a good acquisition. After all, a dynamic, actual looking crossover with a bright appearance, a decent equipment and a worthy quality of the interior decoration at about the price of a new "Solaris" is an excellent offer. Choosing such a car, it is better to give preference to the version with the least problematic combination of gasoline "atmospheric" 1.8 and mechanics.

Find such a crossover in a decent state with a mileage of up to 100,000 km and one owner in the TCP is quite possible for about 700,000 rubles. If the crossover is necessarily needed to you with a machine gun, it is also better to look for it with this engine and preferably not older than 2014. But it will be more expensive to cost such a car. We will have to overpay for an automatic box at least 50,000 - 100,000 rubles. But you will get a car not only with the ACP, but also with automatically plug-in complete drive.

The Opel Mokka was based on the GAMMA II platform (the development of the Korean division GM) - the same thing that I got Corsa E. Suspension and steering combine components from the core, asters and meris.

At first glance, Opel Mokka seems slightly swelling. But in reality, its proportions differ little from other representatives of the segment. So, for example, Yeti is higher and wider, and Qashqai and ASX is longer.

The declared clearance is 190 mm, but under protection, the ground clearance does not exceed 160 mm. Therefore, it is better to even think about off-road exploits. This once again resembles a low hanging front bumper.

In 2012, the crossover adequately stood safety tests - the maximum 5 stars according to Euroncap. At the same time, his American version - Buick Encore failed the test due to unsatisfactory results when hit with low overlap. Enekor after refinement was rehabilitated in 2015 and received a "good" rating.

Moks for the Russian market were gathered at the Kaliningrad "Avtotor". Restyling versions did not go on sale. In 2015, Opel decided to leave the market. Thus, the last copies were sold in 2015.

Salon

The main ideas of the architecture of the interior are borrowed from Meriva. Nevertheless, the well-known concept has evolved a little. For example, the navigation display appeared over the central console under the large visor, and the passenger is two closing drawers.

Mokka has no large central tunnel or electronic parking brake. In addition, the fellowship is simplified - it serves only the driver and is attached directly to his seat.

The width of the cabin is 142 cm, as in the technically associated Chevrolet Aveo. Four adults and 356 liters of baggage will be located inside.

Engines

European cars got a gasoline atmospheric 1.6 Ecotec and turbocharged 1.4 Turbo. At the same time, the car enthusiasts of the old light turned out to be turbodiesel 1.7 CDTI. He was created by Isuzu in the mid-90s. Mokka received its most modern version of the return 130 hp

In mid-2015, a representative of a family of diesel engines Ecotec with a volume of 1.6 liters, developing 136 hp, came to replace 1.7 CDTI. Unlike the "cast-iron" "1.7, a new turbodiesel has an aluminum head and a cylinder block.

Russian cars were completed with gasoline aggregates - atmospheric 1.8 (140 hp) and turbocharged 1.4t (140 hp), as well as diesel 1.7 CDTI (130 hp). The latter got the smallest distribution.

Among the first buyers were the most popular moks with a gasoline atmospheric volume of 1.8 liters (A18XER).

In the past, Motors 1.8 with the XER console often donimali with noisy gears of gas distribution phases. The phase variator (8000 rubles) and its electromagnetic valves (4000 rubles) were upgraded back in 2010. So, problems with phase regulators began to meet less often, but not completely outlined. Usually, ailment occurs after 100,000 km.

But with the heat exchanger (from 6000 rubles) and the thermostat (from 2300 rubles) the situation has not changed. They can flow in 80-140 thousand km. And the flaw is characteristic and for the turbogo 1.4t.

Another common problem is cracking the expansion tank (from 1,700 rubles). Test may also resistor fan cooling system - the fan begins to work at maximum speed.

After 60-100 thousand km, the gasoline engine can be sealed due to a faulty ignition module (from 6400 rubles per analog).

Several turbogo traveled from detonation. It causes low-quality gasoline. The result is sad - the destruction of the piston rings and partitions between the rings, and in some cases and pistons. In this case, about 140,000 rubles will need for overhaul.

1.7 CDTI is a fairly reliable unit. At the very least, the few owners of diesel cars with serious problems have not yet come across. According to the experience of other models, Opel, a turbocharger and oil pump may require attention.

Transmission

The engines were combined with 5 (1.8) and 6-speed mechanics (1.4t), as well as with a 6-range hydromechanical machine.

The gasoline versions were offered, both with front and full-wheel drive. Moreover, the bundle 1.8 with the machine could only be all-wheel drive, and a combination of 1.8 with mechanics is only a mono-drive.

Tourboverness with a full drive was solely "on the handle". Diesel modifications are devoid of full drive and combined only with an automatic transmission. In Russia, diesel from the manual transmission was not sold.

Boxes gear

Manual gearbox usually does not fail. But the clutch factory disc could be wary after 60-100 thousand km. The full set costs at least 8,000 rubles. Another 5,000 rubles have to lay out for work.

In the 5-speed manual transmission, the tip of the gear selection mechanism can be found, then the lever appears a free course. The new tip comes assembled with cables whose cost is about 10,000 rubles. Owners have to resort to submitted means - isolate or plastic screed.

Automatic gearbox 6T40 developing GM on operating experience in other models of the concern showed itself not from the best side. Typically, the slack was given a wavy spring, solenoids or a torque converter. Frequent oil update (every 40,000 km) significantly extended the service life of the box.

However, contrary to expectations, the mocham automaton, as a rule, does not force to attend the service for repair. Although coarse switching complaints meet (characteristic of 1.4 tons). In some cases, adaptation helps. Examples are known with mileage of more than 200-250 thousand km without repair automatic transmission.

Adaptive 4x4.

In the full drive system, the rear differential and multid-wide BORG Warner coupling with electromagnetic control is used. The system allows you to change the thrust ratio between the axes in the range from 100: 0 in favor of the front wheels to 50:50. The advantage of the system is a relatively low weight of 65 kg.

The presence of a full drive adds a portion of potentially possible problems. For example, it can flow the gland of the right front drive shaft (900 rubles). And after 80-120 thousand km wears the suspended bearing of the cardan shaft. The original comes assembled with the cardan and costs 42,000 rubles. In the specialized service, the node will restore for 13,000 rubles.

From time to time, the Borg Warner clutch itself will be turned off the full drive system. On this occasion, a number of cars came under a response campaign to update the coupling management program. A failure can be caused by moisture in the pin connector - disassembly and drying is required.

Some had to even repair the coupling because of the bounce and twigs during the movement. In specialized services with a non-deceased and expel its replacement of the glands and bearings.

Chassis

Suspension Opel Mokka is configured quite tight, therefore the coating defects are transmitted in sufficient detail. On the track, the behavior is not called approximate. With increasing speed, the steering wheel is empty, and the reactions become less accurate.

McPherson racks are installed on the front axle, and on the rear - U-shaped twisted beam.

The suspension may require attention to a segment of 60-100 thousand km. - The front levers will wear out (usually rear) and shock absorbers (more often). The new front lever in the original is available for 4,600 rubles, while the analogs start from 2000 rubles. The original front shock absorber will get for 11,500 rubles, and the rear - for 5000 rubles. Analogs are available - 4000 and 3400 rubles, respectively.

Steering

In SUV with atmospheric 1.8, a hydraulic amplifier is installed, and in the other versions - the electric power steering.

Owners of cars from GUR sometimes noticed the noise emanating from the pump. Most often, the problem was solved by replenishing the fluid in the system. The cause of the Gula could be a torn mesh in the tank. The tank had to change (about 5,000 rubles). In some cases, the bulkhead or replacement of the pump itself (from 7,000 rubles per analog).

In severe frosts (below 20 degrees), factory high-pressure hoses GUR (3000 rubles) were bursting. Along the way, the fitting from the tank Gur could come off.

Conclusion

Opel Mokka, being a crossover, much different from urban hatchbacks, especially in front-wheel execution. As for possible problems, it is seen from the review, all of them are solved, and, as a rule, do not require astronomical investment. However, and cheap such a repair with difficulty.

Opel SUVs never complained to Opel Opel, although in the production system at different times there were models of increased traffic. But basically it was ISUZU clones, adapted for European consumers, yes Korean Antara in later times. But sales went frankly sluggish, and even in Russia, SUVs did not use the Opel SUVs with great honor.

The "cross-board boom" of the beginning of the two thousand years, the company clearly ignored. Antara came out only in 2006, when the absence in a model row of such a car was simply indecent, and the shift in demand from minivans and universal to "city SUVs" is completely obvious. Therefore, the appearance in 2012 Opel Mokka is different as a miracle not to call.

At this point in the model range of the company from "not global" cars remained, made. All other models were produced in the United States and China under different brands and names. The company became very similar to the collector, although it turns out now, Opel remained the leading developer of models. Their developments became "worldwide", including work on improving small-class motors. Be that as it may, from the whole wealth of GM models of GM, nothing particularly disappeared. A logical step would be to create something all-wheel drive based on Corsa D, the benefit of the SCCS modular platform such opportunities had such capabilities, but further cooperation with the Italians was minimized: expenses were considered too high.

But here in GM "cleared" and issued to Europeans the latest development based on the GM GAMMA II / GM 4300 platform, on which the second generation AVEO was already produced. Forecked that the same platform will become the base of the new Corsa E. But the "new" Corsa E was only a deep restyling of the old, and Opel Mokka remained the only machine on a new special small class platform from GM. After buying Opel French and the appearance of plans for "localization", most likely, the car is no longer waiting for the car.

In Russia, a new little crossover was wary. Outwardly, he looked great, the salon caused delight among potential buyers, but was small. And besides the car turned out very expensive, much more expensive than megapopular Duster. Off-road capabilities were also in doubt: despite the optional four-wheel drive, the cars were not happy with the permeability. And this is not surprising: the ground clearance only on the passport here is 190 mm, but in practice, only 156 mm is recruited under the front bumper, and the gas tank does not reach 170 mm. The coupling of the rear axis drive in the Asian tradition was purely electromagnetic, and therefore extremely weak. So any departure to off-road threatened with serious losses.

The combination of motors and transmissions at Mokk is very peculiar. With a full drive "Avtomat", only versions with a 1.8 liter engine, quite expensive, and not fast. But completely frisoming 1.4 turbo automatic transmission issued only complete with the front-wheel drive. Well, the basic version with an atmospheric 1,6-liter engine before us was not "taken": its outlet was postponed and postponed, and then Opel left the Russian market. The presence on the sale of a certain number of cars with these motors, and also with automatic transmission, it looks somewhat strange: Officially, Opel does not know anything about such options.

By comfort, a small SUV lagged behind Astra J, I didn't really go on off-road, it was worth a lot ... But, nevertheless, sales grew while the cars stopped supplying our market. Maybe Opel Mokka - is it still really a good car?

Body

The cars are still very new, so that some dangerous corrosion speak prematurely. Today in the risk zone there may be only the edge of the hood: it is the usual steel here, and if you do not paint in time, rust is good. It is worth paying attention to the hidden attachment points of the plastic "body kit", and especially the location of the front clips in the front wing is especially suffering. Paints' swelling suggests that one more years later, you can wait for decent local destruction. In the meantime, simply rinse the joints of plastic and metal from the road sand.

Pay attention to the purification of the propulsion of the propulsion niches: water plum holes are small and clogged easily. All explicit traces of corrosion here are most likely due to poor-quality repair or lack of such after small accidents.

Windshield

price for the original

42 940 rubles

The open metal of the side parts begins to rust only after-year the other after the damage to the LCP, many it provokes to not pay attention to such "Kotsk". Moreover, for many Mokka, it is a "type of jeep", and they climb on it in the dirt and on the forest tracks, and this provokes the emergence of numerous damage to the paint coating. Which is already thin and no special resistance is different. With a small clearance, at the same time the internal cavities of the spars are strongly polluted, which also does not go for the use of the design.

Very weak windshield is prone to crack formation, but it is half the trouble. The price of the original ranges from 33,000 rubles to 45,000, which is somewhat large for dubious quality item. Fortunately, XYG and AGC have relatively inexpensive alternatives. And recently, Mokka was a frequent guest in workshops manufacturing windshields to order. The price of a custom - about 10 thousand rubles, and "China" cost more - apparently, with a loaf on the price of the original.

Front bumper

price for the original

12 122 ruble

Bumpers are keen, and the price of even the original parts is not so shocked. But you need to be able to choose: other versions are standing under 50 thousand per item, and the Chinese analogs are not found.

Optics are quite decent and inexpensive, but only without an adaptive AFL lighting system. The price of headlights with the last "biting", and the machine is added to the car in the form of the body level sensors at a price of 6-8 thousand rubles.

Possible breakdowns of door handles, and no electronic filling breaks, as it usually happens, but mechanics. Especially often, such troubles happen in frosts, but in strong and bold people, the door handle can easily stay in the hands. For example, if they forgot to unlock the alarm.

Chrome lining of the rear door and radiator lattice are also not particularly durable. After several years of operation in Moscow, they need to be either changed, or tighten the film. Well, or paint "in matte" is also a very popular solution. The appearance from this even wins.

Unfortunately, the elements of the suspension and the cutting fixed fasteners are completely ugly, so that the anti-corrosion activities are very recommended by the machine. Korean engineering is not the best suitable for European, and even more Russian, winter. If you do not want to spend money for repairs too much, then take care of the processing of the bottom and all the elements of the suspension anti-corrosion compositions.

Salon

Salon at the car looks like a small fairy tale. Little is about size. The miracle did not happen: in a close body to make a spacious salon hard. However, it is quite convenient in front, except that the "elbow feeling" interferes somewhat. But ride alone in generally perfectly, straight the car for the egoist, although there are five places here.

Five people here really fit, but if these people are large men in the meter of eighty and weight for one hundred kilograms, then they will be very bad here. Yes, and the machine "will fall on the buffer": the back of the rear suspension is not enough. And here are five miniature young ladies with children will be comfortable.

But here it is beautiful, and a variety of buttons, good finishing materials and excellent color displays of the multimedia system create the impression of "expensive ornate." Ergonomics Let and inferior to Volkswagenovskaya, but still very good.

True, do not hope for premium silence. Here and the panels are a bit embarrassing, and the sounds from the road are plenty: the car was suiced insulation.

The quality of the interior performance places lame. For example, the seats with a trim from "Ecokiz" are deformed already during runs less than 50 thousand, and under a light driver too. The skin of the back and pillows strives to tangle. If the driver is noticeably larger than the average parameters, then damage and skew seats are possible.

The steering wheel is made somewhat better - in any case, even one and a half hundred thousand mileage it can easily. Leather sheathing keeps perfectly, but plastic on cheap equipment is arched and incurs to the formation of scratches.

In the photo: Interior of Opel Mokka TURBO 4 × 4 "2012-16

The gear shift lever on machines with manual transmission over time is smashed, but fortunately, this defect does not require serious repair, it is enough to remove the top overlay and pull the fastening bolt.

Small risks are associated with the work of the block of submissive switches and the failures of the climate system.

Another trouble is waiting from above - it is a condensate from the roof that appears in winter. It accumulates in ceiling plates and may unexpectedly "shed" to the feet of the driver and passenger.

In general, problems are rare, and they are often caused by extremely tight appeal. Due to the age of machines, some defects are not manifested, the equipment of the cabin is well held.

Electrician

Electrical equipment Opel Mokka, unfortunately, even at that age it is capable of delivering a certain amount of trouble.

The resource of the generator often does not exceed 100-150 thousand kilometers, and this is not too good an indicator. Support the brushes of the current collector and bearings, more serious troubles are rare.

Charging system has a battery current sensor. Specialists of services often do not put in place, as a result of which the system operates in short-term mode, and the battery resource drops greatly. The chances of staying in the winter with a surviving battery in the car are large enough.

The ABS front wheels ABS and the body level sensors on machines with AFL are also "consumables", and the level sensors are very expensive, and fails often when running less than 50 thousand. And neoriginal does not exist. Therefore, remember: any ride on deep puddles or branches can lead to the failure of the details price of 6-8 thousand rubles.

Phara xenon + AFL

price for the original

27,926 rubles

The ignition module of gasoline engines is another typical problem. Weak candleting tips breaks, and the services are usually not bored with the selection of Remkomplekt and prescribe a non-cheap item. And the coils themselves fail after a run of 60 and more than thousands of kilometers. Most often because no one is thinking to change the candles. If you have 16,000 not too extra, do not forget to check the condition of the candles, if necessary, put new and check the status of the ignition module tips. And remember: any problems with the stability of the motor at idle to careful diagnosis should be attributed to the problems of the ignition system.

Finished this not too bad picture a low resource of radiators electric fan. Already after hundreds of thousands there are backlash, and after one and a half hundred thousand traffic jams, they almost certainly have a collapsed bearing.

As a result, it is impossible to say that the electrical system is absolutely reliable. Yes, and some design features may cause inconvenience. An example is an AFL system light sensor in the rearview central mirror housing. The location of the DVR or radar detector with an angle of about 170 degrees from the sensor causes malfunctions in the operation of the adaptive lighting system, namely, it is also like to arrange similar devices.

Multimedia system and dashboard provoke some changes to making. The dashboard is usually reflashing to ensure the temperature of the automatic transmission oil and the battery charge, for which they put the firmware from Buick.

Brakes, suspension and steering

The brake system of the car at first glance is made with a good stock. In any case, the front 300-millimeter brake discs for such a compact machine seem even redundant, and this is the key to the low thermoscience of calipers and high resource elements. But in practice, the brakes are upset by the tubes of the pads, not very reliable operation of the manual brake mechanism and the price of parts. If the brake pads set neatly, taking aside the surface of the cylinder and giving a shower with the correct installation of the anti-graded plates, the lubricant of the brake hoses, the installation of new caps, the lubricant of the calipers, the special complaints of the brake system. The disk resource is very good, more than a hundred thousand run, and moderate pads - up to 30-50 thousand.

The car suspension seems simple and cheap. But here it brings the peculiarity of the latest Opel models: Ragagi officially comes only as assembly, and the choice of silent blocks is very limited, and not the best brands. It is good that at least a ball support is changing separately.

The beam behind also has his trick. On all-wheel drive cars is the same beam, but just another form. And its silent blocks are also not officially changed, although there are even catalog numbers from the parts themselves. And here too, it will not be possible to put the details of good quality.

In the photo: Opel Mokka TURBO 4 × 4 "2012-16

Fortunately, the resource of all suspension elements, except for ball supports, stabilizer racks and shock absorbers are quite decent, no less than hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Special attention should be paid to the ball supports: after 30 thousand, they can be healthy nice, but the replacement is not a road, and there are good non-original parts on sale.

Spherical bearing

price for the original

1,301 rubles

The resource of the wheel bearings is just as small. For warranty, the hubs often changed even with smaller runs. The problem is to use very severe rubber with a large departure (for all meticulous readers - the numeric value of the departure in this case is just reduced), and the machine itself turned out to be severe and powerful. And the suspension is designed for a lot of something like Aveo with small wheels.

Steering Most machines with a 1.8 liter motor - with ordinary GUR. It works quite reliably if at least after 60-100 thousand runs to replace the liquid in the system. If not, the pump will remind you of the need to replace them. In the frost, you need to be extremely careful with the handle: the liquid is almost not warming up, and the rails flow very easily.

Machines of the first years of release, all versions with a motor 1.4 liters, diesel engines and all imported European cars are equipped with an electric power steering, which turned out to be somewhat capricious. It does not have a steering position sensor, and the connectors on the most power module are weak - they can burn out or just warm.

We will sum up the preliminary results: there is nothing criminal in Opel Mokka and has not yet succeeded. Partly - thanks to the relatively young age of these cars. Or maybe they really turned out quite good. To understand this issue will be, after a detailed review of all the advantages and disadvantages of motors and transmissions.

The advantages and disadvantages of Opel Mokka 2016-2017 are revealed based on the reviews of real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Opel Mokka 1.4 and 1.8 with mechanics, automatic, front and complete 4 × 4 drive can be found from the stories below:

Ownership reviews

In general, the car is good, the road keeps, stable, I like the design. My car drove 37,000 km and ... summed up !!! Along the way of following from Moscow, Belgorod stopped at the tea party, drowned the engine, and he no longer started. The scoreboard is written "Low power engine"! Brought home on the tow truck, and now repairs.

It is also impossible not to note the uncomfortable driver's seat - the side "wings" on the seat is not completely overlooked and pressured.

Video Feedback

The machine is not bad, but some stupid: dismissed, if necessary - it is impossible. It first slows down, and then, thinking, goes to the mode. Therefore, if the X-TRAIL is a husband easily by a tail from cars and easily embedded back into the stream, without fear, do not have time to restore, then here - 10 times you think before you decide to overtake.

In general, Mokka is well managed, it easily passes all turns on any road. At first, this so-called intelligent full drive was afraid: the devil knows when it turns on - no information on the scoreboard. But, it seems, the snow roads take place at the cottage decent, however, it did not have to get out of the yam.

Comfortable landing, although the adjustment of the chairs is uncomfortable. A lot of space, the satellite does not interfere. Very good front view: due to the strong beaches of the front of the machine, the feeling is created that the road is starting to see straight from the front glass.

Very large gasoline consumption. I have a considerable driver's experience, I can ride economically. On the same X-Trail, I have an average of 1.0-1.5 liters less, although the car is noticeably more powerful.

Arina Kovaleva, review about Opel Mokka 1.8 (140 hp) at 4wd 2013

At the moment, I own a car for 3 months, mileage 3,000 km. I will compare mocke with the previous SID and the parent mockey 1.8.

Engine: We live in a small town, up to 60 km / h will not always be attended, therefore it's hard to say about consumption. When I go to the regional center (Volgograd), then on traffic jams there are 12-13 liters with a consumer, if on the roads more or less, then if you wish, you can put in the top ten.

On the highway at a speed of 100-110 km / h shows 6.5-7.5 liters. By consumption on the parental 1.8 it is precisely difficult to say, I drive a little on it. Decked only once when he drove on the highway car from the cabin. At 100 km / h, the mocca with a 1.8-liter motor ate an average of 8.5 liters. Dynamics in 1.4 is significantly better, especially felt on the highway.

The machine switches smoothly, without noticeable jerks. With active driving, sometimes pisses, especially when moving down. With serious overtakes, when a long strip truck, cars and a tight stream meeting - you have to go into manual mode. The location of the gear key is uncomfortable.

Suspension. The suspension is moderately rigid, the soul does not shake. When the rear is checked, then a small rush of the feed on the waves begins on the track. Of course, to the swing of Solaris Mokka far, but still not very comfortable. Sleeping shock absorbers was never.

Salon. In the width, Side is definitely. Behind the threesome very closely, they will not leave. Size resembles solaris. My height is 183 cm, I sacing for yourself perfectly, a lot of legs in the back seat. Above the head is also enough.

Review about Opel Mokka 1.4 (140 hp) with automatic 2013

Appearance. Well, there is a taste and color, each one. I like. White color also took consciously - it seems to me that for this car he is more suitable.

Engine and automatic transmission. Mileage is now 1,700 km, fuel consumption in the city with moderate traffic jams - 12 liters per 100 km. The BC shows that consumption falls, since on the first hundred was 17 liters per 100 km. I like the engine and automatic transmission in Pare, but I go calmly, measured. I do not let gas in the floor, I do not mock the car. With such a ride manner, there is a confident feeling that the reserve of power is enough.

Salon. Here, of course, GM is great. Everything is comfortable, everything is at hand. Landing is adjustable for any wish (you want below, you want high). Seats comfortable, even for me (height 188 cm, weight 120 kg). With all my dimensions, I really comfortably. Behind me, my son rises with an increase of 180 cm and also does not feel inconvenience.

Suspension. Again on an amateur. I would like a little softer, but then it is necessary to put the 16th wheels, and there is no desire to change the appearance. But on the move of the car is good, it does not roll in turns, the irregularities of the road goes well. The four-wheel drive has not yet felt, but its device is the same as on Antara, it means that I have enough.

Ergonomics. The climate works without glitches and perfectly performs its functions. All at hand and is located where you expect. The board-computer - it is necessary to understand, while this is not necessary. I have a regular audio system.

Review is great. I love a high landing, so the seat is set high. Racks do not interfere with me. But back it is not very convenient to watch (small rear window), but here the experience of driving different cars helps, after all, 23 years of experience.

The owner goes to Opel Mokka 1.8 (140 hp) at 4wd 2014 G.V.

For three years, 80,000 km rushed on the roads of Russia: from Karelia to Baikal. It's okay for now. All that was passed. There are almost no problems. It rolls well, stable (even in winter) and dynamic. Excellent car for travel via expanses of Russia. Yes, and quite economical. On the highway 8 liters per hundred at 140 km / h.

The salon is warm and with good ventilation. Light headlights are well adjustable. Lighting the cabin and the backlight of the devices and buttons are sufficient. Six speakers more than enough for a small body. Seats are convenient for any dimensions, heated is pleasant and necessary for the colds of the Urals. Will start in any frost, though I have carpenter.

There are disadvantages, namely: fabric finish of doors (laurry), low hanging front bumper (there were problems on about. Olkhon on Baikal) and weak protection under the front bumper, which has already been filled with stones and hitting on solid. The car is clearly designed for a normal road.

The trunk is small, but many different pockets and compartments for trifles. In the first autumn, the windshield cracked the first fall.
