Car maintenance is a guarantee of the durability of an iron assistant. The regulations and procedure for the inspection are established by the automaker. A car owner who undergoes MOT Kia Rio regularly and on time does not encounter unforeseen and complex breakdowns.
Choosing a car service and other subtleties
Car owners are wondering what details should be paid attention to and where to undergo maintenance: official dealer or in a familiar proven car service, and how much it costs.
Majority Kia owners Rio would be happy to undergo another maintenance service in a third-party service: it's cheaper, but there is a risk of losing the car warranty. But is it really much more expensive to service the officials?
MOT on Kia Rio is not so high in cost compared to expensive brands. It all depends on the dealer and his price list. In addition, the officials prescribe history maintenance work in the vehicle and remain under warranty.
Question Maintenance the car has many subtleties that both the dealer and the car owner can play on. First, it is worth filling the information gap in order to understand the maintenance regulations. On the first visit, the following steps are taken:
- oil is updated;
- diagnostics of vehicle components;
- the oil filter is replaced.
On average, the cost of such a service costs 4000-5000 rubles.
The first technical inspection of the car
Before talking about the first TO, it makes sense to touch on the issue of zero TO.
Zero maintenance is an optional procedure. It is carried out after 1000 km of run and is advisable when heavy exploitation cars. The oil poured on the conveyor is enough for 15,000 km, just up to 1 MOT.
Since only the oil is changed at the zero inspection, many experienced drivers regard this procedure, How waste money.
For the first time, you should show the master of your four-wheeled friend after 15,000 km. However, if in one year a person has not dashed off such a mileage, then according to the regulations, he is also supposed to undergo an inspection. This service is based on time, not distance travelled. Of course, when the number 15000 is on the tachometer, you should not fly headlong to the service. But within a month and 500 km of run, in order to maintain the guarantee, you must have time to visit the service.
Four main actions on TO-1:
- filling with new engine oil and changing the filter;
- net cleaning in place cabin filter;
- visual inspection of the running components of the car.
The mesh in the cabin filter compartment is installed instead of the cabin filter itself. basic configurations to make the car cheaper. She, in turn, copes well with garbage. True, here the dust delays only 5-10%. If possible, it is better to immediately enter the salon.
For some car owners, the cost of maintenance reaches 10,000 rubles. This price arises from the installation expensive filters And . In addition, these are likely unplanned works, if visual inspection the car master will detect problems. Any additional actions that are not included in the TO 1 regulations can be performed by the dealer only with the consent of Kia owner Rio.
Maintenance duration
According to the regulations, the master was given two hours to work. In them, he must meet and replace the necessary consumables and inspect the car. If additional intervention is not required, then even an inexperienced master will have enough time.
During the inspection, you can stay near the car. Official dealers are in position and have no right to refuse.
Second maintenance
TO 2 is a slightly more extensive procedure than the previous ones. It is necessary to contact the master in the service when the car has already skated 30,000 km or 2 years have passed. During the inspection check and replace:
- battery;
- operation of lighting devices;
- on-board computer;
- clutch and brake pedals;
- tire condition;
- the performance of the air conditioner and the level of freon in it;
- brake discs;
- drive shafts;
- integrity of all hoses;
- oil and filter;
- air filters.
The list contains routine maintenance that is mandatory. Sometimes additional intervention is required, for example, and brake pads. But this is a strictly individual indicator, which is decided on the spot at the request of the owner.
Don't skimp on routine check-ups. Ignoring the problem will lead to a breakdown on the road, which the owner will have to fix at his own expense. The cost of repairs will cost a pretty penny, and sometimes it can be an order of magnitude more expensive than the maintenance itself. By the way, the cost of TO 2 ranges on average from 5,000 to 15,000 rubles.
Third maintenance
You should contact the master for MOT 3 when the car has been owned for the third year or 40,000 km have been driven on it. Replace and inspect the following parts and assemblies:
- tires;
- electronics;
- headlights;
- air conditioner;
- anthers;
- drive shafts;
- the braking system as a whole;
- knot fastening system;
- cooling system radiator;
- steering;
- all brake pipes and cooling hoses;
- fill in new oil;
- change all filters.
The list is not exhaustive: it lists compulsory work. However, each dealer establishes a service schedule in its own way and sometimes adds diagnostics for other units. The owner always has the right to replace worn parts at his own discretion or on the recommendation of the masters.
The cost of the third MOT is on average from 5,000 to 20,000 rubles.
Fourth maintenance
TO 4 is a complete inspection of the car and its systems. IN this case It's easier to say what is not included in the maintenance schedule. The fourth maintenance is carried out at 60,000 km or after 4 years of operation. On average, the cost of such an inspection at official dealers starts from 10,000 rubles.
Conclusion
The fourth inspection can be followed by both the fifth and the sixth, and after TO number 6 there will be more. Car owners should not neglect constant checking technical condition your Kia Rio. It is recommended that you take the maintenance of the machine in good condition with the same seriousness as your own health, and carry out required list works. After all, a serviceable car will save the life of its owner.
How to save on technical Kia maintenance I will tell Rio using the example of TO No. 4. Regulatory maintenance No. 4 on Kia Rio passed when reaching 60,000 km or 48 months of operation (whichever comes first). This MOT is the most expensive of all, as the most consumables are replaced. The cost of maintenance at an authorized dealer consists of two parts:
- the cost of performing work, it is not particularly affected (unless you find a dealer who has discounts or other bonuses);
— the cost of spare parts and consumables (liquids, filters). But their cost can be greatly influenced, thereby reducing Kia Rio service cost.
For clarity, let's look at the official dealer's website the declared price of routine maintenance:
Here it is stated that total cost routine maintenance No. 4 - 10,198 rubles, although after calling about three ODs, the cost was announced everywhere about 12,500 rubles. Oh yes, I forgot to indicate, at the bottom of the price list there are several additions about the cost of spare parts, consumables and liquids. I quote:
» * The indicated cost is the maximum cost of obligatory work on regular maintenance of KIA vehicles at official KIA dealers during warranty period. Dealers have the right to independently set the cost of maintenance within the maximum price indicated on the website.
** Price shown is based on maximum resale price of KIA Genuine Parts. When using other spare parts approved by the manufacturer and / or Kia Motors RUS LLC for use, the maximum cost of spare parts declared on the website and, as a result, the maximum total cost may differ.
*** The cost of fuel and lubricants is calculated based on the maximum resale price of original technical liquids and the maximum resale price set by TOTAL VOSTOK LLC for its products. When using other approved materials various manufacturers, the maximum cost of fuel and lubricants declared on the website and, as a result, the maximum total cost may differ. Information on acceptable materials for use is contained in the Vehicle Owner's Manual.»
From this it turns out that the indicated cost is the maximum and all official dealers can only make it less, but when you call (February 2015), the cost is 20-25% higher. At the official dealer, this is explained by the fact that they did not have time to change it on the site, but consumables due to the ruble exchange rate have risen in price by 1.5-2 times. Well, let's leave it on their conscience and try to save some money.
The easiest way is to buy all consumables for maintenance on your own, since the legislation allows us to do this. Some ODs may be intimidated by the removal of the guarantee, but this is all a bluff. The only difference is that the warranty for consumables is not OD, but in the store where you bought them. Of course it's better to buy original spare parts, although you can take analogues at your own peril and risk. When I passed MOT on my Kia Rio, I bought everything only originals.
Now a little about money.
For TO No. 4, we need to change:
Oil filter - 26300-35503
Fuel filter - 31112-1G200
Pad drain plug engine oil pan - 21513-23001
Spark plug - 18854-10080
Total cost - 1930 rubles(for 500 rubles I bought own will, it is not necessary to change it in TO No. 4).
Well, respectively, of the liquids, only engine oil. Everything is quite simple here, you can see what OD was filled in at the last MOT or see what KIA recommends, all this can be viewed in service book, the filling volume is only 3.5 liters. For my car, I bought SHELL HELIX ULTRA 5w-30 4 liters. I bought it at Walmart, it turned out to be cheaper there, only 1690 rubles.
Maintenance in compliance with the work schedule established by the automaker is the key to long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely trust this work to a car service. But a trip to the service station is always a waste of both time and money. Meanwhile, many car maintenance operations are technically simple and do not require great physical strength.
To perform most routine maintenance work, you do not need to have the specialty of a car mechanic. You will be amazed at how much time you save if you do these jobs yourself. But even more amazed by the fact that the cost of some simple service operations can significantly exceed the cost of replacement parts.
So, for the Kia Rio, the manufacturer adopted a maintenance interval that is a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers. At the same time, the cost of the set of works prescribed by the regulations for the replacement Supplies and checking systems, components and assemblies of a car with a mileage of 60 thousand km, depending on the ambitions of a car service, starts from 5000 rubles. And this is without taking into account the cost of the consumables themselves.
In addition, many service stations often strongly “recommend” or even frankly impose work either not provided for by the regulations at all, or provided for during other car runs. For example, for "Kia Rio" service stations often they impose the replacement of the cabin filter, despite the fact that the manufacturer prescribes its cleaning every 15 thousand kilometers, and the operation to replace the filter of the ventilation, heating and air conditioning system is necessary only if it mechanical damage. Therefore, we suggest that you save your time and money, and for this we will understand the Kia Rio maintenance regulations and evaluate the labor intensity of the work prescribed by the regulations.

PROMOTION! THEN FROM 3400 RUBLES! UNTIL THE END LEFT
The following types of work are carried out that are included in the maintenance of Kia Rio:
Maintenance 0 is a zero cycle, is considered preventive and many drivers mistakenly consider it optional. However Korean manufacturers give a guarantee for Kia Rio for a period of 5 years, subject to the exact implementation of all operating rules vehicle. During the zero inspection, the oil is changed after 1500 - 2000 km. There is an opinion that this is money spent in vain. What can happen to a new car after such a small mileage? But in reality, during the grinding of parts, the oil should be changed, which will significantly extend their life in the future.
TO 1 is the replacement of oil and gaskets under the drain plug at the crankcase, oil and air filters. These works must be carried out according to the regulations for the Kia Rio after 15,000 km or one year after the purchase of the car. These indicators may not coincide a little, but in order for the warranty not to fly off, you must complete this step.
TO 2 is a more serious inspection. It includes full check battery, parking lights, rear and front lights, diagnostics on-board computer, checking clutch pedals, brake pads and discs, condition of tires and air conditioning, drive shafts and many other works related to vehicle traffic safety. During the inspection, hoses in all systems are also examined. Oil and filters are also changed. All this is done 2 years after buying a car or running 30,000 km.
Attention! It is important not to save on a routine inspection, since a breakdown due to an oversight or the fault of the vehicle owner leads to repairs at his expense. This can already cost a lot more than any maintenance.
TO 3 - the list of works for cars includes checking the condition of tires, electronic systems, outdoor lighting, air conditioning, anthers, drive shafts, brake pads and discs, fastening of all components, cooling radiators, steering wheel, hoses and pipes in brake system, the oil, oil and air filters. And this is not even the whole list of works, since additional inspection and additional examinations are carried out if necessary. TO 3 is carried out after 3 years or 45,000 km.
TO 4 is a complete inspection of the car and all its systems. In fact, it’s easier to say what is not included in the list of works, this is checking the gaps in valve mechanism. All other components, assemblies, filters, pipes, hoses, tires, everything is carefully checked.
TO 5 is the last technical warranty service car. Vehicle was purchased 5 years ago or traveled 75,000 km. This TO includes complete diagnostics electronics, air conditioning, compressor, tire wear, brake discs, block, vacuum tubes and hoses, attachments of assemblies, external coating and internal upholstery, drive belts, steering wheel, steering mechanism, valve clearances, oil change, oil and air filters. All this is done to check the condition of the Kia Rio after 5 years of operation.
TO 6 - a comprehensive check of the entire car, which does not include a replacement fuel filter. A significant mileage of 90,000 km or 6 years of operation of the vehicle obliges us to carefully treat the diagnosis and inspection of the car.
