Overview and Common Failures

The body and interior The car body requires mandatory anti-corrosion treatment, otherwise rust will not keep you waiting. The main advantage of the car is its attractive design and spacious interior. The materials used for the interior trim are inexpensive, but they are not very durable and have weak sound insulation. There are also frequent complaints on the forum about assembly defects and low carrying capacity. As for the electrical system, there are few problems, but usually wiring is to blame for all malfunctions. Engine The 2.0-liter LF483Q engine is quite reliable and differs little from the old LFB479Q. At 100,000 km, oil consumption or timing chain stretch may occur. It is important not to forget about adjusting the valve clearances, otherwise they will quickly burn out. Transmission The 5-speed manual transmission LD525MF does not have a long lifespan and rarely lasts more than 100,000 km. The Wuhu Wanliyang 019CHD variator is quite reliable with frequent lubricant changes. Such units are rarely repaired, and in case of a breakdown, you will have to buy a transmission from the dealer. Suspension Original suspension components do not last long, some only last 10-20 thousand kilometers. But there is a lot of high-quality non-original parts available for this model with excellent durability. The same goes for the braking system, just buy normal discs and brake pads.
