“Padzherik” is a real frame “scoundrel” that many Russians dream of. But this car is far from new, and a utilitarian pickup is on the list of relatives.
“Padzherik” is a real frame “scoundrel” that many Russians dream of. But this car is far from new, and a utilitarian pickup is on the list of relatives. About whether it is worth looking at a used one now and whether it will ruin it, the AvtoVzglyad portal tells.
The second generation of the SUV appeared in 2008 and restyling followed in 2013. Ramnik is still highly regarded by our citizens and there are many offers on the market. But there is also a minus – it is almost impossible to find an option now without traces of off-road driving. If you do not want to spend money on repairs, do not pay attention to “all-terrain vehicles” equipped with a snorkel, “toothy” tires and raised suspension. As a rule, they are almost killed and require large investments.
If we talk about the body, then the paintwork is thin, so chips often appear on the bonnet and front fenders. Chromium is also short-lived and can swell and then peel off. However, the most important thing is to assess the condition of the frame. Large rust spots often appear on it. This requires the cost of cleaning, anti-corrosion agent and even to restore the number stamped on it.
The “Japanese” has two engines – a 3-liter gasoline (222 hp) and a 2.5-liter “diesel” with a capacity of 178 liters. Of. The last is the most common. Overall this is a reliable unit, but there are a few shortcomings. The engine does not like working at the limit of its capabilities for a long time: it overheats, which can lead to the breakdown of the cylinder head gasket or “lead” the head of the block.
Not a long “life” and the drive belt. Usually it is replaced after 60,000 km. Failure to do so will cause the consumable to break and hit the timing drive. And this is already fraught with ruinous revision. There are two gearboxes – a five-speed “mechanics” and an “automatic” with the same number of gears. There are no special problems with it, except that the two-pedal version has inhumane fuel consumption.
Go ahead. The Super Select four-wheel drive system has a reputation for being very durable. The special thing is that you can connect the front axle on the go and start kneading the dirt right away. The main thing here is that the previous owner did not spare money for maintenance, changed the lubricant in the nodes in time, and also did not forget to inject the universal joints. This is the only way to avoid vibration of the latter and extend the life of the entire system.
The suspension does not cause any particular problems, since there are no air bellows and complex electronics here. Only small things like silent blocks need to be replaced. That is, in general, Pajero Sport can be purchased. But only after a thorough inspection and study of the maintenance history.
