Driving school "Zhayvoronok" is your reliable teacher of driving on Kiev roads

Nowadays, purchasing a car is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. But it is not enough to buy a car, you also need to learn how to correctly drive it. And at this stage, the issue of choosing a good driving school in Kiev and, accordingly, an instructor who will help you master all the wisdom of driving a car becomes acute. What should be paramount for you when choosing a driving school? The first is, of course, read the reviews about your chosen school.

There is usually a lot of such information on the Internet, unless of course the driving school has only opened and is not a dark horse. Secondly, specify which vehicle fleet the driving courses have and whether they have a basis for training driving. And what conditions are offered to you. Also a very important point is the number of hours planned by the driving school for the student's practical training. Driving schools often provide 10 hours of driving, at first glance it seems to be enough, but in practice this is negligible and the student simply does not have time to master the driving skills and subsequently, you have to hire an instructor for a fee.

If you are a resident of Kiev and you are familiar Svyatoshinskyareathen you're in luck. After all, it is in this area that the driving school "Zhayvoronok" is located. The driving school has a convenient location, namely between the metro station Zhitomirskaya and Akademgorodok.

Thanks to this location, our driving courses will be close to people living both in the Borschagovka area (Sofievskaya Borschagovka), and in Belichi and the Chaika residential area.

Over 40 years of successful work, 17,000 drivers have left our walls, for whom we are not ashamed. Coming to our driving courses, be sure that after completing them you will be a good driver and will be able to avoid accidents on the road. Our professional instructors will do their best for this.

Emergency training courses

Our driving school educates drivers who are not afraid to be next to them on the road. Unlike most driving courseswhere they teach to pass exams at the traffic police, we value our reputation and teach us how to drive and avoid accidents on the roads. Having studied the statistics of road accidents, it was made a disappointing conclusion that the largest percentage of accidents occurs through the veins of drivers whose driving experience is no more than three years.

In order to avoid getting students into such an unpleasant situation in our driving school, you will take courses on emergency training. This is a very important point for the modern driver. The quality of the roads and the skills of the drivers that surround us often leave much to be desired.

For this reason, it is very important to be prepared for an unpredictable situation. A professional instructor will teach you how to drive in an emergency, such as ice, as well as how to behave and drive competently when skidding and drifting off the road. With an instructor, you will learn to predict and calculate in advance the situation on the road, thanks to which you will subsequently be able to avoid an emergency.

It is very important to consider and understand the main causes of accidents and analyze them with a professional instructor at a driving school, and not carry them on the road, going through this school at the cost of your own car, and sometimes your own health. Also, on the emergency training course, you will have the opportunity to study and work out the rules for accident-free parking and high-speed taxiing using specialized simulators.

40 hours of driving with an experienced driving school instructor

In our driving school you will get 40 hours of driving, which is an important practice that is necessary for a novice car enthusiast. Indeed, for a beginner, the main thing is experience and skills that can only be acquired with practice and nothing else. An experienced instructor of our driving school will help you avoid mistakes on the road and show you how to protect yourself from them in the future. The instructor will share not only his knowledge, but also his experience, and this will help in the future to avoid troubles on the road.

Own race track

Another advantage of the driving school in Kiev "Zhaivoronok" is the presence of its own autodrome. Not every driving school can boast of having a high-quality autodrome. And where if not at the circuit to practice driving skills. After all, many of you will sit behind the wheel for the first time and will need to start from the very basics of driving, and training these skills on the streets of the city can be unpleasant, and in some cases even dangerous. Of course, we will not spend all the time at the circuit, driving will also take place on the streets of Kiev, but this will happen after you get used to the car and feel more or less confident behind the wheel. Also, thanks to the presence of an autodrome at our driving school, you do not have to wait for your turn to perform a maneuver and the driving practice will turn out to be fruitful.

Driving school "Zhaivoronok" is located in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev, near the metro stations Akademgorodok and Zhitomirskaya, Nyvki.Thanks to this location, it is easy to reach us for residents of nearby districts Belichy, Novobelichi, residential area Chaika, Svyatoshino and Borschagovka... We will also be glad to see residents of more remote districts of Kiev. We will help you become a really good driver. After all, we are never ashamed of our graduates. And we are calm when the drivers released by our driving school meet on the road. After all, we are sure that these people really know how to behave on the road and how to drive a car correctly and react in emergency situations.

We train drivers with whom we ride on the same roads!

Before answering the question of interest to readers "where is Chevrolet Lanos collected?" it is important to note that this model is also called Daewoo Lanos. This is the same car, with the name of which there is often confusion. The thing is that since 2005 the Daewoo company has been owned by the American giant General Motors. That is why, from that moment on the domestic market, the model is called Chevrolet Lanos.

However, we will not delve into demagoguery and proceed to the main issue of the article.

Place of assembly

It should be noted right away that, despite the great popularity of the Chevrolet Lanos model, domestic factories do not produce this model. For Russia, the car is exported from Ukraine, where the model is called ZAZ Lanos, and it is made at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant.

The Zaporizhzhya plant undergoes a full cycle of car assembly, which includes the production of individual components, body welding and interior assembly, as well as car painting and quality control.

In 2009, the Zaporizhzhya branch ceased to cooperate with General Motors. Therefore, the name of the model in the Russian market has changed to ZAZ Chance. However, the name is the only thing that has changed in the model, since the assembly concept, technical characteristics and other aspects of the car remain the same.

Build quality

I would like to immediately note one important point: Chevrolet Lanos attracts domestic car enthusiasts primarily due to the fact that the car is not very demanding in repair, and in any car market you can find a lot of necessary parts and components. Owners of Sherola Lanos do not have to wait weeks for the delivery of the necessary spare parts.

But, as it turned out, this plus is a stick with two ends. After all, how can one hope for a high quality car, parts for which can be obtained at any corner.

Experts negatively note the build quality of the body, individual parts of the cabin and the interior as a whole, as well as definitely not the best paintwork. The main reason for this lies in the fact that the developers by all available methods tried to save on the assembly process. And they did this so that the total cost of the car was low, and every citizen of Russia could buy it.

If we talk about the shortcomings in more detail, then first of all it is worth noting the inability of the body to corrosion. The metal itself, from which the body is assembled, is very thin, which often leads to deformations. The plastic used in the interior trim is also not impressive, because it is very unstable to scratches, but it will not hold together. As noted above, the paintwork is not of the highest level, which also contributes to the appearance of corrosion.

Those who have driven a foreign car for a while will most likely not like the Chevrolet Lanos audio system, primarily because of its primitiveness and narrow functionality. Therefore, experienced motorists recommend immediately replacing it with something more modern.

Build process steps

At the moment, the Chevrolet Lanos assembly technology includes four stages. Production begins with the fact that with the help of pressing equipment, parts and components for the future Sherole Lanos are manufactured. After that, the body parts are sent to the welding shop, where specialists, using advanced Japanese and German technology, weld them together. Then, the finished body is sent to the tightness control workshop.

At the third stage, when the body is already equipped with a hood and doors, it is sent for painting. There are 9 robots installed in a special workshop, which are capable of processing 32 bodies per hour.

The last stage includes all the final assembly processes, including the installation of power units and transmissions. Usually, the duration of 4 production stages does not exceed 2 minutes.

Assembly features

At the Zaporozhye plant, Chevrolet Lanos is equipped with three economical power units. These are motors with a volume of 1.3 liters, 1.4 liters and 1.5 liters, respectively. All of them successfully cooperate with the new transmission developed by Ukrainian engineers.

Before the start of the assembly of the Chevrolet Lanos, the shops of the Zaporozhye enterprise were significantly modernized. American investors have allocated a large sum of money to upgrade the plant's equipment.

Output

Chevrolet Lanos cars are supplied to the domestic market directly from the ZAZ plant. This model is in great demand in Russia, primarily due to its low cost. However, as evidenced by the reviews of the owners, the Ukrainian-assembled Chevrolet Lanos has a large number of shortcomings, the reason for which lies in the financial policy of the company, which relies on savings. And so far she's been doing it pretty well.

Chevrolet Lanos is an economy class car. It was first introduced in 2008. Naturally, one should not expect any outstanding performance from an economy class car. And the Chevrolet Lanos also has its pros and cons. However, shortcomings are often identified that 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 of the car, in what body it was purchased.

Advantages and advantages of Chevrolet Lanos:

1. Affordable price;
2. Small size. Convenient to park;
3. Elegant appearance;
4. Easy to operate;
5. Picks up speed quickly;
6. The salon is designed for 5 people;
7. Luggage compartment volume 322 liters;
8. The stove and air conditioner work well;

12. The steering wheel and gearbox are soft. Respond quickly to commands;
13. The power plant is not picky about the quality of gasoline;
14. Fuel type - AI-92 gasoline;
15. Inexpensive to maintain and repair. Spare parts are not difficult to find, their cost is low;
16. A great option for a student or driver with no driving experience.

Vehicle equipped five-step mechanical 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. An oil change will help to correct 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 are loose for no apparent reason. Adjustment of the unit will help to 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 the paintwork. It is of poor quality, so chips and scratches quickly appear on it. Corrosion resistance is low, parts start to rust after three years. Arches, sills, door edges, trunk lids and bonnet are particularly vulnerable. You can deal with the problem. It is enough to treat the body with a special anti-corrosion agent every 5 years.

The boot lock is a weak spot. Fails over time, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Moisture can build up in the passenger compartment and luggage compartment.

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

Chassis

Elements of the Chevrolet Lanos walker are distinguished by their short-term operation. Car owners give off weak shock absorbers. Already after 50 thousand km of run, the comfortable suspension ceases to be such. There are many complaints about wheel bearings, which begin to crackle 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 car is the steering rack. Often there is a leak, knocking, hum, and the tips of the steering rack fail.

Many problems arise 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 bend. Therefore, experts advise to constantly check the condition of the belt and replace it, as well as install new rollers. The situation is similar with the generator drive belt, which requires replacement after 50-60 thousand km.

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

Cooling system

There are often complaints about the cooling system. The radiator is notable for its unreliability. Antifreeze leaks are a common problem. Also, many vehicle owners are replacing the thermostat and sensor, which is responsible for the operation of the cooling fan.

Gear box

Of course, there were also weaknesses in the checkpoint. The factory clutch disc is characterized by its short service life. Often it is enough for only 50 thousand km. And if the car constantly gets stuck in traffic jams, then the breakdown can happen earlier. After 80-100 thousand km, the box begins to hum strongly. The problem can be corrected by changing the oil. And another common problem is the work of the checkpoint backstage, which can be misaligned for no reason.

It would seem, what problems can arise in the salon? However, the 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 causes water to enter the interior. Also, there are problems such as a breakdown of the blower switch, a watch falling out of the center console, a creak of the rear seats. Owners, as a rule, solve such minor defects on their own with the help of improvised means. However, in the complex, all the 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, buying a Chevrolet Lanos car and trying to save money, the owners are constantly spending on repairs. The machine requires the utmost attention and care, regular replacement of 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 Chevrolet Lanos has a lot of vulnerabilities.

P.S: Car owners, if you notice frequent malfunctions of one or another Lanos part, then let us know in the comments below.

1. Yuri

   I want to say a little in defense of Lanos. I don't even have Lanos, but a chance of 1.5, 2009 onwards. The first thing that changed was 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 poke. Timing changed to 112000KM. And, I also changed the radiator for 82000 km. These are all major replacements. The worst thing is the body. The front fenders have 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 have not changed the gearbox yet (it does not make noise and switches well), but, I forgot, I changed the clutch for 109,000 km. Oil change with filters costs an average of 2200-2500t.r. In general, if not the body of the machine, the rest is even nothing. Ey that's something like this. Thanks.

2. Novel

   Than? It's easier, according to your description, to hand over the car to the scrap immediately on the day of purchase, just throw it into a shredder and digest it ... I drive a 2005 Chevrolet, mileage 82 t.km. None of the aforementioned ailments, except for sound insulation, have been seen so far. Even experienced car owners envy the paintwork, the suspension is super, for the entire time of use it has never shuffled with engine protection, although in the country there is a terrible hole in the form of holes. Does the mirror fall off? Nonsense! Rear glass? Korean with a sealant, apparently Korean, never leaked. Sensors do not compose brains either. What else? Posting Ukraine "Dneprodzerzhinsk". Causes dissatisfaction and doubts, all the harnesses are wrapped with electrical tape from the factory, as it is not neat in general, khokhlyak fuckers with wiring, but everything is OK. For parts, the box is perfect, the grip is super, the brakes? Changed due to the development of discs and drums in a circle Brembo Italy (discs, pads, drums) Brake slurry Brembo DOT 5.1, ICE oil Motul 2100 15W50, Motul W80 gearbox, Totachi Long Life collant carboxylate antifreeze Japan, timing belts and Bosch generator. Power steering is absent, and even so comfortable, the rail does not show signs of illness - all are zergood. Ball, CV joints, springs, shock absorber cartridges, thrust bearings, wheel bearings, radiator, silent blocks - all native Polish-Korean. Gaskets and looked at the condition under the valve cover and changed the gasket so that there was nothing (the cover was accidentally put into 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 flap in winter (I pry it with a plastic assembly tool to dismantle the interior elements of the cabin - it is harmless to paintwork). The light in the block headlights, in the back there are lenticular LED bulbs - the light of each section is super, especially pleasant in the turn signals, on the sides there are diodes in the repeaters, in the front there are ordinary Hella +50 Hella bulbs in the front and lenticular LED in the turn signals. NGK candles and in general, all consumables of well-known brands, oils and other slurries, lamps, filters, belts, pads, and Exide premium 61 A / H battery. the car went by inheritance and for a long time stood for the battery, the old battery was planted 7 times at "0" and after a ride I dumped it in acceptance on the scales for 780 r. The machine is a fairy tale. If I am going to change something serious, then, based on quality and durability, leash in order to remain unattended for a long time comfort. Remained as it is now. And not because everything fell apart, everything to ... or doesn't like it. I completely forgot the brushes were thrown out by the factory children during the idle time of the machines, they managed to harm them and stuck Hella 19 ″. I think if there is something in the second machine viburnum station wagon, then this is not comparable to Lanos. The clutch is frankly designed for the Hulk rather than in the Lanos, the electronic accelerator and an empty pressure point than the Lanos throttle cable, the shock absorbers at speed in Kalina 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 will solve the only problem with noise isolation manually))) And the errors of the site 1e Lanos drive to a maximum of 167 km / h, lanos sport, which was produced for a short time in Korea with automatic transmission, yes yes - a 3-door automatic with a 1.5 motor, travels 161 km / h and 2e Lanos was created in 1998 from the Daewoo Lanos model, created to replace Daewoo Nexia, were then Chevrolet T100, Chevrolet Lanos Saloon, Chevrolet Kalos, Chevrolet kalos saloon, Chevrolet lanos sport Korea automatic, ZAZ Chance "Sense". Sport, like Sense, was a hatchback. In general, a well-groomed car, which I met as mine, only 3 out of 300 seen is worth its money, I like the machine for its simplicity and comfort, although from the SX configuration it just got a driver's airbag and a presentable steering wheel, everything makes me tired))) Brushes on the hood the original Daewoo Korea does not scrape and even the muffler can is not rotted.

3. Do not judge strictly

   4 years (100t.km) and normal flight)) ugh ugh ugh ... 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 for 10 years, and it is dear and if not for my personal shoals (and my wife, respectively :)), it would be much better. Salt, dick and other reagents finish off everything else. Suspension is good! 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 somehow not for the cafe. That's all for me. And also all this is treated inexpensively, so to suck this wheelbarrow 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 will not undermine the nose, everything is better than our auto industry (yes, the kiddies of the cans lover ask me) I have everything. Thank you for attention.

GRAY DAYS

We don't know what mood the designers of the Giugiaro studio (studio Italdesign) were in, but this “remnant” from their pen is clearly not the best work. Maybe that's why the nickname "gray mouse" is firmly attached to the model. So colleagues, without further ado, nicknamed the editorial “Lanos” in the same way (ZR, 2009, No. 3).

ON THE WAY OF EVOLUTION

"Lanos" is built on the units of "Daewoo-Nexia", but it still has some differences. First of all, this is a body - different not only externally, but also in terms of power structure. The new skeleton withstood the impact on the EuroNCAP cube with dignity (see Model History). Of course, three stars - the result is not God knows what, but still much better than that of the ancestors. By the way, the descendants in this discipline also showed themselves poorly. For example, Chevrolet Aveo earned only 6 points for a frontal strike, which looks like a failure against the background of Lanos's 10.5 points.

In normal operation, the body holds more firmly than that of Mother Nexia: the corrosion of the lower edges of the doors and wheel arches is not yet visible even on the first batch of cars. But the bonnet does not withstand sandblasting and is relatively quickly covered with red spots. Do not wait for these ulcers to gnaw through the metal to the holes - clean and paint over immediately!

The hassle with bodywork equipment is a bit. Typical, perhaps, only the breakdown of the heater handles. Here the fault is not only of the plant, which used too fragile plastic, but also of the owners themselves. You just don't need to turn these knobs quickly, applying excessive force, especially in the cold.

Sometimes, if you hurry, you pull the gas tank flap lever - and you will tear off the cable sheath from the seat. Therefore, you need to pull gently, and in order for the shell to hold more securely, we will tie it to the lock body with at least an ordinary thread.

The reliability of the electrical equipment depends on where the machine is assembled. Korean copies do not cause trouble, but Ukrainian ones, which prevail in the market, regularly. Relays most often fail, so carry a couple of spare ones with you. Desirable Korean - they are a little more expensive, but more durable. Often the MAP (Mass Air Pressure) sensor is buggy, with the help of which the controller calculates the air flow of the engine. The first symptom of a malfunction is increased idle speed and fuel consumption. In advanced cases, there may even be interruptions in the ignition of the mixture, which is dangerous for the neutralizer. Therefore, do not over tighten when replacing the sensor. Again, Korean is better.

MODEL HISTORY

• 1997 Deu-Lanos debut. Bodies: sedan and 5-door hatchback. Engines: petrol, R4, 1.4 l, 55 kW / 75 hp; Р4, 1.5 l, 63 kW / 86 hp; Р4, 1.6 l, 78 kW / 106 hp Front-wheel drive, M5.
• 2003 An agreement was signed on the production of Lanos under the Chevrolet brand at the Ukrainian enterprise AvtoZAZ.
• 2004 Model production in Korea is discontinued. At the end of the year, the first cars were assembled in Zaporozhye with a modified sedan body (additional safety bars were introduced into the power frame, roof struts and some load-bearing panels were reinforced). New engine: R4, 1.3 l, 51 kW / 70 hp (Melitopol MeMZ-307, which were previously installed on "Tavriya"); the modification with this motor received its own name "ZAZ-Sens".
• 2005 Start of deliveries to Russia of cars with an 86-horsepower engine.
• 2006 Minor facelift - the radiator grill has changed. EuroNCAP crash test: 10.5 points for frontal impact. Bottom line: three stars.

"TILKI PALIVO BEZ SVYNTSIU"

Only "Lanos" with 8-valve engines were officially supplied to our market. In contrast to the similar G15MF engine, which was equipped with "Nexia", the A15SMS engine has a higher compression ratio - 9.5 versus 8.6. And besides, a different ignition system and a catalytic converter. But the main thing is that the engine has become "plug-in" - this is how the people call the units, in which, when the timing belt breaks, the pistons "become closely acquainted" with the valves. Monitor the drive in both directions and change the belt every 60 thousand km, as prescribed by the maintenance regulations. The pump, as a rule, works regularly up to 120 thousand km, but it happens that it does not live up to this date. Therefore, when replacing the drive, carefully check its condition. If it jams, it will cut off the teeth of the belt, and then expensive engine repairs certainly cannot be avoided.

The cylinder-piston group is very reliable. The increased waste of oil begins to manifest itself no earlier than 250 thousand km. Often it is enough to change only the piston rings and valve stem seals. Neither boring nor honing is usually required up to 500,000 km.

The weak point is high-voltage wires, which rarely serve more than 100 thousand km. A clear sign of burnout of a current-carrying conductor is engine twitching under load. The defective wire can be easily identified by ringing the wire with an ohmmeter. Sometimes the reasons for the failure are more prosaic - rodents eat the insulation of the wires. It looks like a treat for them. But in any case, the replacement of the wires should not be delayed, since the neutralizer will suffer due to faults in the ignition.

Keep an eye on the engine cooling radiator - it sometimes gives up in just a season under the influence of anti-icing agents! But the radiator of the air conditioner, which rotted on "Nexia", on "Lanos" serves for a long time. There are no complaints about the air conditioning compressor, you only need to follow the tension roller. However, it is inexpensive and it changes easily.

At 1500–2000 rpm and a barely pressed gas pedal, many owners note unpleasant twitching, as if the car itself would either give the gas or release the pedal. If this is very annoying, plug the EGR valve - insert it into a hose that fits, for example a steel ball. Of course, its diameter must be larger than the choke (so that the ball is not sucked into the engine).

Some people don't like the fact that when changing gears (when the gas pedal is already released), engine speed drops slowly. Know that this behavior is the norm. A service bulletin was even published on this account (SB 17-08-2007). According to him, dealers are obliged to explain to the client that the engine control unit was deliberately set up in such a way - in order to facilitate the operation of the gearbox synchronizers. It seems to us that the manufacturers are cunning! Usually, this technique is used when they do not want to spend money on expensive full-fledged fine-tuning of the engine in order to ensure strict environmental standards for the engine.

SO CE ZH "OPEL"!

In fact, there are no problems with a mechanical box. The German design turned out to be so reliable that it survived more than one Opel-Cadet (without significant changes, the unit migrated first to the Nexia, and later to Lanos). Unless the oil seals can leak, and even then only in old age - over 150 thousand km. The oil is filled for the entire service life, however, when the mileage is under 200 thousand km, it is advisable to change it. Although it is more difficult than usual - there is no drain plug, so you have to remove the oil pan.

The clutch wears out up to 120-130 thousand km, which is usual for any car. The first versions of the "Koreans" were with a less reliable cable drive. If you have one, be sure to carry a spare cable with you. With hydraulics, the worries are different - change the fluid every two years. In addition, over time, a creak appears at the point of contact of the slave cylinder rod with the clutch fork. This stems from the broken off centering pimples on the stock, without which, in principle, you can ride. If the squeak is enough, then you will have to change the slave cylinder assembly (the rod is not sold separately).

The suspensions on the Lanos are the same as those of the Nexia. Accordingly, and sores. Steering tips wear out to 60-80 thousand km, ball joints - to 120 thousand km. The latter are riveted to the lever, but spare parts are also supplied separately, together with fasteners. Such a kit should be taken only if there are no microcracks on the lever - most often in the area of \u200b\u200bthe front silent block. When changing the lever assembly, be sure to put a new front bolt (it is the most loaded, and there were cases - it was cut off).

Everyone dreams of a private car, because it is very comfortable. No need to wait 40 minutes for a trolleybus and cram into a completely filled metro. You can easily transport purchases, things from home to dacha and many other useful functions. The air conditioner saves from the heat in the summer, and the stove in the winter from the cold. And in general, any weather conditions do not matter when you are sitting behind the wheel of your personal car. But here the question arises: how to choose a good and reliable car with such a huge choice in the domestic and foreign markets? Which specifications are better, which manufacturer, model, and so on. Today we will consider a model of Ukrainian production - Chevrole Lanos: the pros and cons of the car.

Chevrolet production began a long time ago, back in 1997, when the first car was presented in Geneva. But the release of Lanos began relatively recently, only in 2005 at ZAZ (Zaporozhye, Ukraine). During these more than 10 years on the market, motorists have studied this car inside and out. This model was supplied to the CIS countries and Russia until 2013.

Output

Chevrolet Lanos is a very common car brand in the domestic market and in the CIS countries, so there are a lot of user reviews on the Internet. Reviews are qualitatively different. Some emphasize only the advantages of the car, others do not see anything good in the Chevrolet Lanos at all. If we take an average statistical opinion, then if you want to buy it as your first car, it will become a wonderful and reliable friend for you. But for an advanced motorist, the mechanics and technology of Chevrolet will no longer be enough.

I would also like to answer that many negative reviews about Lanos on the Internet are connected precisely with the fact that the car is poorly taken care of. In order for this car to serve you for a long time with faith and truth, you need to regularly undergo a technical inspection, drive carefully, especially through speed bumps and over the curbs, since the landing at Lanos is really low. You also need to touch up the places where the paint has peeled off so that the car does not rust. But in order for the engine and other spare parts to serve for a long time, without replacement, the car needs to be filled only with the recommended brand of gasoline.

Chevrolet Lanos is a good, inexpensive and very convenient Ukrainian car in the city. You can easily park it, in winter you will arrive without delay, as the car will start the first time. Speed \u200b\u200bin 172 km / h will allow you to drive pretty fast on the tracks, but not fly off. And responsiveness in management will allow you to turn out in any emergency. The large salon can accommodate 4 more people besides you, and the trunk will allow you to carry a lot of things without any trailers. So you can safely buy this car model, because it is reliable, fast, easy to use, and one of its biggest advantages is at an affordable price for purchase, much cheaper than foreign analogues. All this gives an advantage to the positive properties of the car.
