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;

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 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 attitude.

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 especially vulnerable. You can deal with the problem. It is enough to treat the body with a special anti-corrosion agent every 5 years.

The 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 kilometers, 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 breakage at the most inopportune moment, regular maintenance and diagnostics are recommended. 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.

   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. Changing the oil 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. Thank.

2. Novel

   Than? It’s easier, according to your description, to hand over the car for 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 production 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. I looked at the gaskets under the valve cover and changed the gasket so that there was nothing (the cover was accidentally put in the garage with a gasket in dust crumbs). There are no problems with either a poorly closing glove compartment or a trunk, it also does not torment the gas tank flap in winter (I pry it with a plastic fitting to dismantle the interior elements of the cabin - it is harmless to paintwork). The light in the block headlights, behind 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 are ordinary Hella +50 Hella dimensions 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 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 machine, 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 jerkers-youngsters of the can-lover are asking me) I have everything. Thanks for attention.

Distant appearance of the model

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

Serially the car began to be produced in the same year and continues to be produced to this day.

What positive qualities are noted by the owners of Chevrolet Lanos

Many motorists re-seeding from domestic Zhiguli to Lanos, noted the level of comfort for the better, good sound insulation and convenience at the workplace. In the top trim levels, air conditioning, power windows, power steering, driver's front airbag and other little things were included.

The Lanos engine in tandem with a 5-speed manual transmission produced acceptable dynamics both in the city and on the highway. Also, the positive sides of the car include its suspension (despite its resource), which has moderately soft settings and responsive steering, according to the "rack gear" system.

Disadvantages and frequent malfunctions of Lanos

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

In the cabin, a rare driver did not glue the rear-view mirror, it usually falls off in the first months of owning a new car. The creak of the lock of the rear row of seats, many are treated with electrical tape, winding on a loop. The engine cooling system was also not without flaws; according to the owners, the cooling radiator leaks and often fails. When selling a car. Chevrolet Lanos is considered poorly sold car... the price of Lanos falls dramatically quickly.

On November 30, the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant announced that it would stop producing the famous Lanos in Ukraine. "For now, we will only produce small commercial vehicles," said Tariel Vasadze, head of the Ukravto corporation.

"Lanos" really disappeared from the lineup of the official ZAZ website, and the plant had to cut staff. There are 1100-1200 people left. These specialists mainly combine the functions of a welder, painter and assembler.

But in the years when the plant worked at full capacity (2007-2008), about 20 thousand people worked in the ZAZ group.

"Strana" remembered what is known about the only "people's car" that was produced in independent Ukraine.

Euroblocks and the greed of the owners cut down

According to Vasadze, the reason for this decision was the high competition with manufacturers from Europe or Asia. But the main thing is the "euro number", which facilitated the import of non-cleared cars at bargain prices of 1.5-2 thousand euros.

In recent years, ZAZ has experienced a significant drop in sales of new cars. So, in 2015, 2.8 thousand new passenger cars of all types were sold. For comparison, in 2007 - 61 thousand.

However, the company in the person of Eurobills found a convenient excuse to curtail production. The reasons are deeper. Sales of Lanos and its subtypes were falling even without any Eurobills - even before the Euromaidan, with the assistance of powerful protective duties on imported cars.

The fall in Lanos sales has been going on since 2011 without any "Eurobies"

Wikipedia

So, with an average price of $ 9,000 for a new model, Ukrainian-made Lanos was much inferior in quality to used foreign cars of the same price range. For 9-10 thousand dollars, you could buy an almost new Skoda Fabia, Huyndai Accent or a Korean-made Chevrolet Aveo.

As a result, Lanos could only compete with a low price for spare parts produced in Ukraine. Therefore, he became a favorite car for taxi drivers who quickly "killed" cars and saved on repairs. As a result, most "Lanos" quickly turned into junk on wheels, repaired and repainted dozens of times.

The fall of Lanos prestige

This caused the "lumpenization" of the car: if in 2007 the car was considered a strong middle peasant on the scale of prestige for the middle class, then by the end of 2013 it became the prince of the "lower caste" of motorists.

Lanos was gradually abandoned by many taxi services - customers began to massively demand not to send this car to the call.

The "people's car" was quickly pushed to the side of the trend - for such a price, motorists did not want to buy a "bucket of nuts".

Many, as an alternative to cheap transport, switched to more affordable models of the Russian VAZ. In addition, Chinese cars began to enter the market, which were taken at a low price with a comparable - or higher - quality.

By the way, about the WHA. Similar to "Lanos" model Lada Granta in the basic configuration on the Russian market in 2013 cost $ 5,000 - against $ 9,000 for the Ukrainian "people's car".

Thus, only one "Grant" occupied 6.7% of the Russian market in 2013. Whereas all ZAZ cars in the same year occupied only 9% of the Ukrainian market, even Lada, which occupied 10% of domestic sales, was ahead of them at home (and this despite the protective duties).

History of Lanos in Ukraine

But the first "Lanos", which came to Ukraine, were unique in their way. It was, as they said at the time, the "underdeveloped" C-class. The car was produced in Poland, had a Korean filling and in the early 2000s it cost 8-9 thousand dollars from the salon.

Many motorists who bought this "Lanos" drove it for many years. And even when the Ukrainian assembly began, the used "Poles" were valued more than their Ukrainian second-hand colleagues.

The car was originally manufactured by Daewoo. Lanos development program was launched in autumn 1993. It was first presented at the 1997 Geneva Motor Show under the name Daewoo Lanos.

The car was designed by Daewoo R&D center in collaboration with German and British engineering companies. The body design was developed by the famous Italian studio ItalDesign. The Lanos launch cost the company $ 420 million. The model was available in three versions: a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback and a sedan. There was also a limited edition Lanos Cabrio, which was produced from 1997 to 2002.

At first Daewoo Lanos were produced only in Korea, but soon, in 1997, Lanos began to be assembled in Poland. Since 1998, the first-generation Lanos SKD has been set up in Ukraine at the AvtoZAZ-Daewoo JV. In the same year, a car under the name Doninvest Assol began to be assembled in Russia, but production was soon curtailed due to low demand.

In 2003, Ukravto signed an agreement with GM Daewoo to create a full-scale production of Lanos models at ZAZ with a capacity of up to 90 thousand units per year. Meanwhile, in Poland in 2008, the production of Lanos was discontinued.

Since September 2008 Lanos has become a Ukrainian car for all production characteristics of localization. ZAZ carries out stamping, welding, painting of bodies, assembly of cars, and for some models also production of engines - at the Melitopol Motor Plant. For the production of Lanos bodies, the plant had to almost completely change all the equipment, because the new car required other technologies for stamping, welding and painting.

Go to the taxi segment

Since November 2012, Lanos cars with factory gas equipment began to be produced. This was a response to the demand for LPG among those wishing to save on fuel. And a special compliment to the taxi drivers, who were already beginning to become the main target audience for Lanos manufacturers.

Thus, the car was completely transferred to Ukrainian components. It would seem that the price should have also dropped, but this did not happen: the Ukrainian assembly, which caused serious complaints about the quality, cost the same $ 9,000 as the Polish-Korean assembly ten years ago.

This was the beginning of the decline of Lanos in Ukraine. The car, which rolled from the C-class to the B-class, almost did not "rollback" for the price. "Narodny" and made to the last nut in Ukraine "Lanos" existed for less than six years.

Surely, every car owner was faced with the fact that the car began to twitch. Chevrolet Lanos is no exception in this regard, and one might even say - an individual. Almost all owners of this car know that Lanos twitches. Many people believe that this behavior of Lanos is completely normal, since this is a certain feature of the firmware. However, this is not entirely true, although there is some truth in this. However, to eliminate jerks, first of all, you need to find out what causes them.

There can be a lot of reasons for the appearance of jerks, so you should not immediately sin on the firmware and go to do the chip tuning. Although this approach is welcome, provided that there are no technical problems in the car. Now let's try to figure out why Chevrolet Lanos is twitching - what may be the reason.

But before listing the reasons, it is worth summarizing some things. Before you start terrorizing a car, you must:

• to solder the twists in the ECU braid;
• flush the nozzles on the bench and check the performance;
• change gas station;
• ride on Lanos, whose owner is pleased with his behavior.

Jerks when starting to move

The most unpleasant situation is failure when pulling away. The driver presses on the gas while releasing the clutch pedal, and the car nods instead of going. Often car owners call this the thoughtfulness of the car. That is, the car first thinks, and then it drives. It is worth noting that such "thoughtfulness" can become fatal when trying to quickly slip to the left at the intersection. Failure is not a feature of the firmware - there is a technical problem here.

First of all, it is necessary to diagnose the engine with a good specialist. Moreover, diagnostics is necessary even if the "check" is off. Of course, you need to change the fuel filter if you haven't changed it for a long time. It is also recommended to check the condition of the mesh in the tank. If the filters are new, it is imperative to check the fuel pressure.

In idle mode, the pressure should be at least 2.5 kgf / cm 2. When the throttle is opened, the pressure rises for a short time to 3.0-3.5 kgf / cm 2 (the car stands still, in neutral gear). When disconnecting the vacuum tube from the RTD - the fuel pressure regulator, the pressure is set to the maximum - 3.0-3.5 kgf / cm 2. If you have a lower pressure in the ramp, then this may be the reason for the failure when starting the movement. It is necessary to check the operability of the fuel pressure regulator, as well as the check valve in the fuel pump.

The failure of the EGR valve can also be the cause of the failure. After prolonged operation, the EGR valve tends to hang open. At the same time, there is a constant leakage of exhaust gases into the intake receiver, which also causes a failure when starting off. For testing, you can simply temporarily shut off this valve.

If at the beginning of the movement there are small jerks, in this case it is also necessary to check the fuel system and carry out diagnostics. It is worth paying attention to the condition of the candles and high-voltage wires. Very often, low-quality or just faulty explosive wires lead to jerks. The condition of the candles is also extremely important. In addition, only the recommended spark plugs with the correct spark gap and glow number must be used.

In some cases, there is a shaking of the car when starting off. A warped clutch disc may be the cause. During operation, the clutch disc can wear unevenly, which ultimately leads to a similar effect. Unfortunately, without visual inspection, it is impossible to accurately determine the need to replace the clutch disc.

Jerks when driving at low speeds

On Lanos with the A15SMS engine, jerks are very often observed when driving in 1-2 gears. This is especially noticeable when driving in a traffic jam in start-stop mode. It is worth noting that many copies have already been broken on various forums on this topic, and an unambiguous solution has not been found. When you press the gas, a kind of nod or even a series of jerks occurs.

Again, first of all - diagnostics. If the diagnostics did not find anything, then we check all the filters. More precisely, we do not check, but change. Further diagnostics of candles and high-voltage wires. Many car owners note a decrease in jerks after replacing the MAP - the absolute pressure sensor. A Russian-made DBP was installed from the Lanos plant. They change it more often to the German counterpart. You can also try to install a contactless TPS. Taken together, all this will certainly lead to a significant reduction in jerks.

Jerks during acceleration

If your Lanos twitches during acceleration, then in this case, the fuel system is most likely to blame. It is necessary to replace the fuel filter and be sure to change the mesh in the tank. After replacing the filters, it is necessary to check the fuel pressure in the rail. In case of deviations, it will most likely be necessary to change the fuel pump.

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.

At the Zaporizhzhya enterprise, a full cycle of vehicle assembly is underway, which includes the production of individual components, body welding and interior assembly, as well as car painting and quality control.

In 2009 the Zaporozhye 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 inhabitant 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. A special workshop has 9 robots that 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 the appearance of which lies in the financial policy of the company, which relies on savings. And so far she's been doing it pretty well.
