The following illustrations will simplify the definition of a particular malfunction. If you notice any deviations from the norm on your car (extraneous noises, knocks, leaks, signs of uneven wear, impaired handling, etc.), locate the location of the symptom of a malfunction, compare it with the drawing and refer to the table at the appropriate link. If it is not possible to determine the exact source of extraneous noise, then it is necessary to do this at least approximately. Then, using illustrations and a table, identify a specific malfunction.
The figure and table below show the most common sources of noise, but similar symptoms can also occur in other areas of the vehicle.
If it is impossible to determine the location of the malfunction from the drawing, then it is necessary to try to identify the cause according to the main categories and points given in the table.
Note:
In the figure, the following positions indicate:
13 - Front suspension shock absorbers
2 0 - Pedal assembly
6, 10 - Rear final drive gearbox

UAZ Patriot, 2.7 l., 2009 onwards
Light became on the course and on dispersal. Especially for maneuverability. Became like a good foreign car. The car is unrecognizable, it tumbles in such a way that it is not inferior to any foreign car. Like to ride.

Good afternoon Vladislav. Today I received a parcel with a throttle and immediately installed the assembly. The car is unrecognizable. Volga weighing 1.8 tons from a place tears with slipping over our mountains where I used to go in 3-4 gear now free on the 5th and still going to overclock. At the old node, the speed is 90 km. overclocked at 3000-3300 rpm. Now 2000-2300 rpm. overtaking is fun downshifting is not necessary. And at the same time, I barely press on the gas pedal. So far I'm very pleased with the result.
I read a lot about throttle tuning and decided to try it. My first impressions - the car became easier to accelerate. Previously, acceleration was from 3000 now from 2000 rpm. already underway. I advise everyone, it really works! Although I had big doubts. And about the fact that many write that this is a scam, do not believe it! First, TRY YOURSELF ... Yes, most importantly, you barely pressed the gas pedal, and the car accelerates briskly. Previously, after releasing the gas, there was a feeling that you were pulling someone in tow and he was slowing you down. ...after releasing the gas in gear, the car continues to move forward confidently. When you next press the gas, the car accelerates confidently without jerking.
Vortex Tingo 1.8 l., 2011 onwards
I did throttle tuning. I've been with him for 1.5 years now. There is an effect. There were no problems, as they try to expose here. The car starts up perfectly, both in summer and at -35 in winter. Consumption has decreased.
Improved the throttle assembly. From service to home really enjoyed the ride. No more pressing on the pedal. Just put your foot down and the car RIDES. On the bottoms boldly undermines. The deep blunt hole disappeared when accelerating from 70 to 100 km / h. And the consumption has also fallen, while by 0.5 liters. Thank you so much for a job well done!!! Super!!!
After completion, the car actually RIDES even with kondeem!
Geely Emgrand EC7 is one of the most sought-after Chinese-made cars on the European market. Representative of the D-class family. Most of the components and assemblies were borrowed from others. Production started in 2009, available to the consumer since 2010. The name of the model is a sub-brand created by the well-known Geely Group. Its main advantage is the affordable price of a solid car. It will be comfortable not only for four, but also for five passengers. The dimensions of the car are impressive: length - 4.635 m, width - 1.789 m, height - 1.470 m, luggage compartment volume - 680 liters. Like any other, it has weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages.
Specifications:
- Sedan and hatchback;
- Power plants: 4G15 (1.5 l, 106 hp) and 4G18 (1.8 l, 133 hp);
- Options: Standard, Comfort, Luxury;
- Transmission: Manual, CVT, front-wheel drive;
- Ground clearance - 167 mm;
- Fuel consumption: engine 4G15 - 7.1, 4G18 - 7.6 km / h;
- Acceleration to 100 km / h: 167 seconds;
- Fuel type: gasoline AI-95;
- Fuel tank volume: 50 l.
Advantages and benefits of Geely Emgrand EC7:
- Spacious interior, roomy trunk;
- Good equipment, a large list of functions;
- High clearance. The car tolerates Russian road realities well;
- Low fuel consumption;
- Long term warranty. The main condition is to be constantly serviced by an authorized dealer;
- Well thought out rear parking sensors. Give a signal 15 cm before the obstacle;
- High-torque engine;
- Stability on the road;
- Low cost of consumables and spare parts.
Weaknesses of Geely Emgrand EC7
- Body;
- Salon;
- Trunk;
- Suspension;
- Steering;
- Power units;
- Transmission.
For most Chinese-made cars, the body is a weak point. Geely Emgrand EC7 is no exception. The metal is very thin, the paintwork is of poor quality. All this leads to the fact that after a year of operation, chips and scratches appear on the body, which become covered with rust. It is possible to avoid this problem3. To do this, it is necessary to treat the sedan with an anti-corrosion agent. It is better to do this immediately after buying it.
Small washer reservoir. The fluid in it runs out quickly and needs to be topped up frequently. This is not easy to do, since the filler neck is in an inconvenient place and very low.
The salon has a lot of shortcomings. The main ones are:
- Ceiling height. The interior is spacious, but the roof is set low. Passengers whose height exceeds 180 cm are extremely uncomfortable in it. Since they rest their heads on the ceiling;
- Landing. The location of the steering wheel, pedal and seat is unsuccessful. This leads to an increase in the load on the legs and lower back of the driver. The problem is especially acute when traveling long distances. The driver's back gets tired, his legs swell. The manufacturer knows about this defect, but even after re-styling it did not eliminate it;
- Soundproofing. Extraneous sounds are heard in the cabin. Especially the noise from the wheels. After re-styling, the situation only worsened. In the area of the wheel arches, the felt boots were replaced with plastic fenders;
- Interior. Not enough space to store small things;
- On-board computer. This device has low information content. It does not display data on fuel consumption, what is the temperature of the air outside. It is not very convenient that the device is not Russified;
- Key backlight. It annoys some drivers. It is necessary to adjust its brightness;
- Audio system. There is no way to turn on the radio at a low volume. The firmware of the complex will help correct the situation.
The design of the luggage compartment is unsuccessful. Its opening is narrow, the fastening loops are large. This complicates the transportation of bulk cargo. As for capacity, there are no complaints.
Chassis
Suspension is the weak point of the car. The manufacturer has mishandled it. To avoid problems during operation, it is necessary to make a collapse / convergence immediately after buying the car. This event will improve handling and have a positive effect on wheel wear.
Geely Emgrand does not tolerate bumps on the road. This is explained by the fact that a rigid suspension is installed. When driving a speed bump, hitting the wheel in potholes, increased vibration occurs. It is impossible to eliminate such a deficiency.
Sore shock absorbers in almost all specimens. Their resource is small, so frequent replacement is necessary. It is necessary to monitor the location of the silent blocks of the front levers. They may move.
Carrying three passengers in the rear seat has a negative effect on the rear damper compression stroke buffer. They are deformed, plastic files break. The rear pads also have increased wear. Experts recommend revising the suspension every 80 thousand kilometers.
Steering
Steering with low definition. Therefore, the driver must be as careful as possible when performing complex maneuvers at high speed. Over time, you can get used to it and get used to it.
Power units
In the Russian market, cars with a 1.8 liter engine are more common. They are similar to the engines offered by the Japanese brand. Some experts call them Toyota, but this is wrong. Power units are simply their counterparts and are assembled in China. The reliability indicator is significantly inferior to the original.
The timing drive is chain and can last a long time. Despite this, his condition must be monitored. Even with small runs, problems can arise with it. The most common is to stretch it. If the defect is not corrected, then the pistons will inevitably meet the valves.
Geely Emgrand EC7 is sensitive to the quality of lubricants. When purchasing a used one, you need to replace them with new ones. Since the previous owner may have used bad consumables and not kept the quantity. This will negatively affect the quality of the vehicle as a whole.
There is a problem with the sensor. They manifest themselves in the form of a decrease or unstable speed, a poor reaction of the motor to pressing the gas pedal. Sometimes the car stalls after the air conditioner turns on. The reason is the failure of the throttle sensor. It usually gets dirty. Cleaning the node will help fix the problem.
Some drivers notice strange engine performance. For example, when shifting gears or as soon as the movement is started, the speed increases. This behavior of the power plant is due to the features of the electronic pedal and is not a defect. Thus, it reduces the release of harmful substances into the environment. The vehicle meets the requirements of the Euro-5 standard.
Sometimes the ABS and EBD lights come on at the same time on the instrument panel. You need to reset the battery terminals. If this does not help, then you should go to the service center. Wizards will determine the cause of the problem and fix it.
On the car there is a 5-speed manual gearbox or stepless variator. The first is durable, the only complaints are not very clear work. Moreover, the defect is not found in all models, but on some copies. The service life of the clutch is about 80 thousand km.
As for the variator, there are more questions here. Installed knot Belgian V-belt. Brings most often controlled electronics. As soon as the selector goes into drive, the motor picks up speed, but the car remains stationary or goes backwards. To fix the problem, you need to restart the power plant.
The main disadvantages of Geely Emgrand EC7
- The body is not galvanized;
- Steering wheel reach adjustment is not provided;
- The gas pedal travel is large;
- The rumble in traffic jams depends on the engine speed;
- The working stroke of the handbrake is large;
- The seats are not heated;
- Inconvenient location of the seat belt latches;
- Electronics malfunctions;
- Water appears in the cabin;
- During operation, the wiper relay clicks loudly;
- Thoughtful variator;
- There is no illumination of the space where the legs are located;
- Difficult to sell on the secondary market.
Conclusion.
The Geely Emgrand EC7 car has pros and cons. It is important to know about them when buying. Especially when it comes to a used version. If the engine and transmission are provided with good service, then there will be no problems with their work up to 100 thousand km. More often unpleasant surprises are presented by the variator. This car is not for those who rely only on the replacement of consumables during operation. She needs more attention.
In addition, it is worth remembering that its liquidity is low. It will not be easy to sell a second-hand car with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km. In third hands with a range of up to 200 thousand km is almost impossible. In this case, there will be large financial losses. This forces many drivers to twist the mileage before selling.

Geely Emgrand appeared on our market quite recently, only since 2012, but has already won buyers with its appearance and technical characteristics, as well as excellent equipment already in the database. Emgrand is available in hatchback and sedan. The car looks chic, and the back is generally similar to a Mercedes E class, if you remove the nameplates, you will not immediately realize that you are in front of a Chinese.
It seems to us that the Chinese have gone the right way, they began to copy technologies that have proven themselves from the best side, for example, Lifan Solano is an almost exact copy of the Toyota Corolla in the back of 120, especially cunning sellers manage to stick Corolla nameplates on it and sell it like a Corolla. Emgrand is also no exception, a car made of Japanese technology with European components.
Original spare parts are cheap, for example, an air filter is 200 rubles, an oily one is 100 rubles, pads are 700-900 rubles each, and due to the fact that Emgrand hodgepodge is from European technologies, there are also a sufficient number of European duplicates.
Chain or belt wonder the owners of Emgrand.........
Geely Emgrand is equipped with 2 engines of 1.5 and 1.8 liters, and the comrades from Geely write that these are their own developments, but this is an exact copy of the Toyota 1ZZ, which Toyota has been producing for almost 15 years, it’s a sin not to use such technologies, especially when they they offer them almost for free. Both engines have a timing chain drive, when the chain itself breaks, everything that can be bent bends, but there have not yet been cases of a chain break, the chain usually stretches for 150-180 thousand km, and replacing it costs about 500 bucks, the original chain itself costs 1600 rubles. It is better to immediately replace the candles with Denso K16pru11, with these candles the machine runs smoothly and without interruption, since they cost 150 rubles per candle.
As strange as it sounds, there are no problems with engines with timely maintenance. There are, of course, cases of sensor failure, but they are rare.
There are two boxes - this is mechanics and a variator. To take or not to take a CVT transmission is up to you, but buy such a car only after diagnosis. If the variator was driven and annealed, then it will not last even hundreds of thousands of kilometers. There are even sad statistics on Toyota Fielder in a new body, even on such a famous brand, the variator fails already at 150 thousand mileage, in general there is nothing more reliable than a simple automatic machine, but such a unit is not installed on Emgrand.
Of course, the mechanics are simpler and more reliable, and replacing the clutch will cost 100 thousand mileage and the replacement cost is 30 thousand rubles. It is better to replace the factory oil immediately.
Emgrand suspension: simple MacPherson strut in front, semi-independent rear. The suspension is simple and, like on all cars, the stabilizer struts fail first, then the struts themselves, but they can be replaced with a kayaba, which also runs 100 thousand km. Brakes - disc pads serve 30 thousand km each.
Steering with power steering, replacement of steering tips for 60 thousand mileage.
Geely Emgrand is successfully used in a taxi, as a car with a comfortable rear seat, and the legs do not rest on the front seat, reliability and inexpensive original spare parts, and what else is needed for an everyday car at the price of Logan.
Geely Emgrand turned out to be a good C Class car, with a large interior, bright appearance and reliability, and a ground clearance of 160 mm is also an excellent plus, the cost of spare parts will also pleasantly surprise brand owners. Emgrand has a complete repair manual in Russian, so there should be no questions with self-repair
