For example, the “machine” may begin to “kick” when shifting gears. Adding oil only saves the situation for a short time. Then of course they talk about worn couplings in the service. This implies the dismantling of the unit, its complete disassembly and replacement of parts. The price depends on the vehicle model and easily exceeds 50,000 rubles even for a budget sedan. What is going on?
However, automatic transmission “kicks” can be caused by lack of oil. But where does it come from when the lubricant is refilled? For example, on the Chevrolet Cobalt unit, on the body, there is a small technological hole closed with a rubber stopper, which often falls out by shaking. Especially if you constantly drive on bumpy roads, but at high speed. That’s the reason for the problem.
So do not rush to give your hard-earned money for the overhaul of the “machine”. First, inspect the soil, for example, in the country. Grease leaks and the absence of this plug will make it clear where to “dig”. As a result, you have to pay about 1000 ₽ for a spare part, add lubricant and forget about the problem.
Go ahead. The jerkiness of the DSG robot transmission also indicates problems related to the replacement of mechatronics or an electronic control unit. But you can get by with a little blood simply updating the firmware, as it’s unlikely the previous owner did it. Usually passing “poke”.
Zhor tires on one axle is another military trick. Seeing this, they said that, they say, the car had a serious accident and was then restored. The “treatment” is simple, but expensive – it is a search of the entire suspension. The reason may even be a worn silent block. And then the driver got into a hole, and the wheel alignment angles “disappeared”. A combination of factors caused severe tire wear. All you need to do is replace the “elastic band” and do a wheel alignment. This is a piece of cake compared to the bulkhead of the chassis.
And if it “smells” like an engine oil burner, then the repairmen are completely rubbing their hands. Don’t trust them. First, replace the lubricant with a more viscous lubricant, as old engines require it. In this case, the consumption of consumables drops noticeably, and the steel “heart” works normally.
