Specifications Chevrolet Aveo T300. Specifications Chevrolet Aveo T300

Chevrolet, after its short career in the Russian market, left along with its "budget" models. He left behind thousands of cars, such as Spark, Aveo and Cruze, attracting a tempting price.

Aveo 2 looks nice, rides right, but it's better not to rely on special dynamics or sophisticated handling.

Many people associate Chevrolet with the Daewoo brand. And it is right. The first generation Chevrolet Aveo has more in common with the Korean automaker than with the American GM. The car turned out to be unattractive, without any significant advantages. In 2011, its successor debuted with the designation T300. The model turned out to be more interesting and more successful.

A beautiful design is the first thing that encourages a purchase. Chevrolet used motorcycle motifs. For example, twin round headlights are not covered with plastic glazing. The same features can be traced in the taillights of the hatchback. Motorcycle accents are also present inside. The instrument cluster, which consists of a massive tachometer and a small electronic speed indicator, looks exactly like in a sports bike. Top and bottom of the display lined up in a row of holes, each of which is a signal light. It is worth noting that this is a good solution. It's hard to find such a nice and clear set of pointers in any other car.

Modern shapes, intuitive operation. On the front panel there are several practical places to store small items.

In general, the interior Chevrolet Aveo T300 makes only a positive impression. The range of adjustment of the driver's seat and steering wheel is so wide that it will be easy to find a comfortable position. There is enough space for four people inside. The hatchback trunk is only 290 liters, but the sedan holds 500 liters. Aveo sedan It is quite suitable for the role of a small family car.

In 2011, Europeans crashed a five-door hatchback as part of safety testing. Aveo demonstrated good passenger protection - 5 stars according to EuroNCAP.

Engines

Under the hood, engines are installed that are widely used in the Opel model range, in particular in Korsa and Astra. The gasoline range is represented by the following units: 1.2 l (70 and 86 hp), 1.4 (100 hp), 1.4 Turbo (140 hp) and 1.6 l (115 hp). The asset of the model even provides diesel unit 1.3 liter capacity with 75 and 95 hp, also used in small Opel models. The turbo diesel of the Multijet series was created by the Italian Fiat.

Only a version with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine(F 16D 4). However, among the offers for sale there are also models with a 100-horsepower 1.4-liter unit. Diesel machines not on these lists.

Typical problems and malfunctions

All power units are quite reliable, without any serious flaws. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for a manual transmission. The gear selection mechanism wears out relatively quickly. It is worth noting that, as a rule, it does not work perfectly even from the first kilometers. Ultimately, after 100,000 km, synchronizers may need to be replaced. However, much depends on the operating conditions and the regularity of maintenance. Mechanics strongly recommend changing the oil in the box every 50,000 km.

On running cars, fogging is often observed in the area of \u200b\u200bthe seal of the axle shaft at the outlet of the gearbox.

At long runs there are failures attachments: air conditioning compressor (23,000 rubles), starter (8,000 rubles) and pump (a screech appears from under the hood). Sometimes the ignition coils or one of the sensors (temperature or camshaft position) fail.

There are also quality issues paintwork. Lacquer is sensitive to scratches, and chrome surfaces lose their charm over time.

From a technical point of view, Aveo has a simple design that uses traditional B-segment solutions. MacPherson struts are installed at the front and a torsion beam at the rear. However, a simple device did not fully ensure proper durability. If there is practically nothing to break at the back, then the ball bearings of the levers quickly exhaust their resource in front. Fortunately, the design provides for a ball replacement (from 500 rubles), which is fastened with three bolts. Silent blocks can also be replaced (about 500 rubles). But if all these elements are worn out, then you should think about installing a new lever (from 2,500 rubles).

IN brake system used disc brakes on the front axle and drum brakes on the rear. Drums, in principle, do not cause concern, unlike wheel bearings. The rear bearings are assembled with a hub (from 5,000 rubles), and the front ones come separately (from 1,200 rubles).

Chevrolet Aveo affected one serious service action, in which individual copies (in accordance with the specified VIN) required the replacement of the ignition switch. Reason: the ability to independently start or stop the engine. Nothing of the kind has been recorded in Russia, but there have been several fatal accidents in the United States.

Operation and costs

Chevrolet announced that there will be no problems with the availability of spare parts and service for 10 years from the date of sale of the last copy. However, there are rumors that some details that are specific to Aveo only have to wait for some time in official services.

So should you beware of the Chevrolet Aveo? Of course not. Engines are well known and widely used in other Opel models, and chassis parts can be found everywhere. The car is really inexpensive to operate, and it rarely breaks down.

An interesting fact is that messages in the form of a code on the display inform the driver about malfunctions. They can be deciphered using the instruction manual. For example, the code "15" means the need to check the brake lights. But the code "89" causes a lot of controversy. In accordance with the instructions, it means the need to pass a test, but in practice it most often lights up, signaling various errors (engine or lighting).

Conclusion

Chevrolet Aveo is not the cheapest car compared to competitors. For a more or less normal copy, you will have to pay at least 300-350 thousand rubles. In return, you will get a solid and, perhaps, the most elegant sedan in the class with a huge trunk.

Starting to improve the Chevrolet Aveo T300, you need to realize that tuning this famous model It takes patience and a lot of money. The fact is that not very reliable materials were used in the production of machine parts, which is why you will have to change a lot under the hood and in the back of the Aveo. Let's find out which parts are the first to be replaced, and how much it will cost the Chevrolet owner.

1

The first thing that Chevrolet Aveo owners complain about is chassis car. Moreover, comments and unflattering statements about the latter begin already six months after buying a car. The thing is that due to the use of low-quality aluminum alloy for the production of suspension elements, the latter rust from an abundance of moisture. As a result, the chassis of most T300s begin to creak, knock and rustle. Even worse, if the driver does not notice the appearance of an incomprehensible sound. Because of this, the owner runs the risk of being left without a wheel right on the road.

Chevrolet Aveo T300

As practice shows, the optimal solution to the current problem will be complete replacement Chevrolet suspension. Spare parts from Toyota Camry And Citroen C5. Probably, it is not necessary to say how much the running system from these foreign cars costs. Fortunately, there is another effective option, and this is the installation of inter-turn spacers or buffers. The latter are small in size and thickness pillows made of a durable and reliable metal alloy. Their main function is to increase the rigidity of the Aveo suspension. However, in addition to this, buffers increase the clearance of the car, making most of its parts inaccessible to road moisture. Another important plus is the reduction in car roll when cornering and emergency braking.

You can buy a set of buffers for Aveo in most car dealerships in our country. When buying parts, pay attention to the material from which they are made. Ideally, spacers should be made from a 60:40 aluminum/carbon alloy. The cost of a set of buffers of 4 pieces is from 6 thousand rubles. A lot, but for the assembled suspension from another foreign car, you will have to pay at least 5 times more.

One of the advantages of spacers is also considered to be the ease of self-installation on Aveo. The algorithm of work is as follows:

Jack up the wheel of the car, thereby removing the load from the wheel;
dismantle the wheel and clean the spring from contamination;
we put the buffer in the middle of the spring, before that, dipping the spacer in a soapy solution;
if the buffer is larger in area than the coil, part of the first must be cut off with a file;
we fix the spare part with the clamps included in the kit;
we do a demolition.

After tuning the chassis, you need to check the Chevrolet suspension. If you did not make a mistake with the place of installation of the buffer and followed the instructions exactly, then you will immediately notice that your chassis no longer emits any squeaks. In order for the spacer to finally fit into the spring, you will need to drive about 50 km. After that, your Aveo's suspension will work like new.

After tuning the Chevrolet suspension, it may seem to you that the car has become slower to respond to steering commands. This is due to an increase in the rigidity of the chassis, and in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to slightly modify the steering Aveo wheel. The main idea of the subsequent modernization of the Chevrolet steering wheel is to reduce the amplitude of movement of the front wheels in the longitudinal axis. Initially, the amplitude is quite large, which is due to the softness of the rubber joints of the stretch marks. To perform the tuning, we will need to replace the standard thrust washers with new flat-concave parts.

Chevrolet Aveo T300 steering wheel improvement

You can buy new washers for the T300 in almost any auto shop. The main thing is that their dimensions must exactly match the standard parts. The cost of a set of elements is approximately 2 thousand rubles. Having bought plano-concave washers, you need to install them correctly. To do this, first dismantle the mudguard of the Aveo motor. Next, use a 24 key to unscrew and remove the nuts that hold the Chevrolet extensions. Then we remove the regular washers of the car and install new spare parts in their place. The latter should be placed with a concave part towards the rubber. After that, we fasten the extensions and fasten the mudguard of the T300 motor.

As a result of tuning, new parts will distribute the load over the entire plane of the rubber, which will make the Aveo stretch more rigid. As soon as you drive a few meters in the car, you will notice that your Chevrolet will respond faster to steering commands, and the squeaks that came from the fender liner when cornering will also disappear. In a word, you will be very pleased with the result.

To make your T300 more powerful and dynamic, there are a huge number of ideas and details. The only problem is that the vast majority of spare parts cost a lot of money. In addition, it is not a fact that after installing these elements you will not have to modify other Chevrolet parts. Therefore, in order to increase the power of Aveo at low cost, we will talk about effective tuning throttle. You don't need to buy anything to work. However, you will need to be extremely careful, since in case of an error you will have to purchase a new throttle.

Refinement of the throttle

Another problem that spoils the nerves of T300 owners is squeaks and rattles from Chevrolet mirrors. Nasty sounds are heard especially well in winter, when the plastic parts of the car become stiff. As a result of severe frosts, Aveo mirrors begin to knock already at Idling. You can often notice how the mirror part of the part is shaking. There are several ways to solve the problem. The first and easiest is to tighten the bolts holding the part on the Chevrolet body. However, this method does not always help.

The second tuning option is the installation of rubber washers that will dampen vibration. The first accessory must be installed between the bolt and the car door, and the second one between the door and the mount of the mirror itself. The third solution to the problem is also quite simple. It is necessary to take a plastic tie and securely fasten the mirror, after setting it up in the way that is most convenient for you. The third common malfunction of Chevrolet mirrors is squeaks in the area of \u200b\u200bthe plastic triangle. To get rid of them, you need to lubricate the lower part of the part with an anti-creak or simply drag the triangle with a carpet.

After you have finalized the problematic elements of the Chevrolet, you can proceed to the aesthetic improvements to the car. An excellent method to modernize Aveo, to make it more voluminous and more aggressive, will be the installation of wheel arch extensions. Previously, expanders or fenders were used to tune SUVs, but today they have begun to be installed on passenger cars. In addition to the aesthetic function, the expanders play another role - they effectively protect the doors and fenders of the car from stone impacts.

wheel arch extension

Today, there are several types of accessories to improve the Aveo. The first is rubber expanders. They are inexpensive, but when they are installed, problems may arise with fastening to the Chevrolet body. Also, rubber fenders are pretty hard to paint.

Chevrolet Aveo cars have become popular due to their reliability and modern design.

For 13 years of production, the Korean branch of the manufacturer General Motors has managed to sell hundreds of thousands of cars, and owner reviews confirm the high build quality and low maintenance costs.

According to motorists, proper care and regular maintenance guarantee 250-300 thousand mileage without overhaul, which is considered an excellent option for a Korean manufacturer.

What are the features of the operation of the car? What are the weaknesses in the T250 and T300 models? What the reviews say real owners? You will learn about all this further.

Operating experience

To understand the features of the car, it is worth considering separately each of its components.

Engine.

Originally on Chevrolet vehicles Aveo manufacturer put two types of motor - 1.2 and 1.4 liters.

A distinctive feature of both power units is the presence of a timing belt drive.

Another nuance is the presence of an identical crank group. The main difference is only in the number of valves per cylinder.

The 1.2-liter engine is equipped with a smaller camshaft and eight valves. The more powerful engine (by 1.4 liters) is equipped with two camshafts and 16 valves.

Practice has shown that the oil change interval (15 thousand kilometers) is overestimated, therefore, in 1.2-liter engines, excessive camshaft wear is observed.

Such problems manifest themselves after 60-100,000 runs. A malfunction often leads to jamming of the device and the need to replace the cylinder head.

The first symptoms of a breakdown are the appearance of a “clatter”, as in diesel engines. The reason is the lack of oil in some parts of the motor.

To solve the problem, you will have to change the camshaft in combination with rockers, dismantle the cylinder head, clean and drill the jet, providing it with a larger size.

In order to avoid the described problem, the interval for replacing the lubricant in the motor should be reduced to 10 thousand kilometers.

After 80-120 thousand mileage, there is a high risk of a crankcase ventilation valve wedge, which causes the lubricant to be squeezed out of the engine along with the oil dipstick.

After 120-140,000, be prepared to change the front crankshaft oil seal due to oil leakage.

In 1.4-liter engines, after a long run, carbon deposits form on the intake valves, which leads to “triple”, but since 2008, the developers have managed to eradicate this problem. In the period from 80 to 110 thousand kilometers, an oil leak may occur.

On cars with automatic gas phase control and in engines with chain drive after 30-60 thousand km, an uncharacteristic “rumble” often occurs after the plant of the power unit, as well as the appearance of “diesel clatter” after the temperature has set.

Such a problem often indicates a breakdown of the camshaft gear. If the problem is not noticed in a timely manner, then there is a high risk of squeezing out the seals of the distribution mechanism, lowering the oil level and splashing the timing belt.

The result is often deplorable - belt slippage and valve deformation.

After 50-100 thousand mileage, as a rule, the release bearing changes, and after 120-150,000 - the clutch.

Operational practice has shown that the Chevrolet Aveo with a volume power unit 1.5 liters are distinguished by the stability of operation on liquefied gas ().

Transmission.

After 80-130 thousand km, due to a decrease in the elasticity of the seals, oil can leak from the gearbox. Here the task of the motorist is to notice the drop in the oil level in a timely manner. Otherwise, there is a high risk of rapid wear of the neutral and 5th gears.

The occurrence of an uncharacteristic “crunch” at the moment the 5th speed is turned on just indicates a shortage of oil in the gearbox.

In the conditions of frequent trips around the city, the transmission wears out after 60-90 thousand mileage, which is expressed in an insufficiently clear inclusion of speeds.

If we compare two automatic transmission boxes and “mechanics”, then the first one is more reliable, but after 40-100 thousand mileage there is a high risk of deterioration in the contact connection of the switch control solenoid.

The result - a problem with the choice of speed in the position of the "Parking" selector knob (P). To avoid complications, periodic cleaning of contacts is required.

Chevrolet Aveo cooling system.

Operating experience has shown that in the range of 60-90 thousand mileage, there are difficulties with heating the power unit due to a thermostat malfunction.

There is a risk of leakage or early opening valve to a larger circle, which prevents the power unit from warming up normally in cold weather.

Due to the sinking of the valve, after 50-80 thousand mileage, another unpleasant symptom occurs - “siphoning” of the expansion tank cap.

In the same range, problems often manifest themselves with the “sticking” of the fan motor brushes in the cooling system, as well as the oxidation of the contact connections in the plug.

On the 2003-2007 Chevrolet Aveo, the fan housing is located in close proximity to the radiator, which often causes abrasion of the right lower part of the assembly after 50-70 thousand km.

To fix the problem, it is enough to perform two simple manipulations - cut the edges of the case and put washers at the fan attachment points.

In the period of 80-100 thousand km, the engine error lamp may light up (manifested against the background of a drop in the thrust of the power unit). Problems in operation are often caused by failure or contamination of the filter screens of the pump in the fuel system.

One of the weak points of the car is the suspension, which annoys motorists with extraneous "mumbling" in the front.

To reduce the negative factor, it is enough to put more powerful supports on the front pillars.

New supports take care of 70-90 thousand mileage, and the front hub bearings (80-100).

Silent blocks on the rear lever "surrender" and creak already after 60-70 thousand, while in front they can withstand a longer period without replacement.

As for the silent blocks on the rear beam, here the resource varies in the aisles of 90-140 thousand mileage. Symptoms of the problem - loss of stability, extraneous squeaks and noises.

The brake pads on the front wheels should be replaced after 40-50 thousand, and the brake discs - after 70-100.

Steering.

After 50-80 thousand km, the gear shaft bushing may fail, which leads to knocks in the steering rack.

After 90-100,000 there is a risk of leakage in the steering shaft of the upper share of the steering rack. The main symptom is oil under the driver's carpet.

In addition, in very coldy the power steering pump sometimes buzzes, which is eliminated by replacing the old lubricant composition.

The electrical part of the Chevrolet Aveo.

As for the electrics, there are no big problems here. The main attention should be paid to the generator, in which, after 70-120 thousand km, the installation of new bearings is required.

Also, in the range of 70-80 thousand km, there is a breakdown of the headlight corrector due to oxidation on the “minus” of the conductor and burnout of the diode in the clock circuit.

The body part and interior of the Chevrolet Aveo.

As for the body, there are no problems here. The only thing that on early models is possible damage to the rear wheel arches.

The problem is eliminated by mounting mudguards in front, which have a large width.

Cabin problems - the appearance over time of a large number of sources of creaking (especially in the front panel area).

The main reason is the poor quality of sound insulation in this place and bad roads.

Sometimes other car components will also be fastened - seat belts lock on back seat. After 50-60 thousand mileage, a whistle of the cabin blower fan may occur.

The Chevrolet Aveo air conditioning system deserves special attention - the level of freon should be controlled.

Weaknesses of the Chevrolet Aveo T 250

Chevrolet Aveo T 250 is a model, the release of which started in 2006. The main differences from the older version of the T 200 are modern design and attractiveness.

As for the technical "stuffing", it remained unchanged. The nice design and reliability of the car did their job - it became popular with motorists.

Weak spots T 250 models are described in detail in the operating experience section.

Let's take a look at the most important aspects below.

Chevrolet Aveo body.

More resistant to corrosion. But for better protection, it is worth carrying out additional treatment with an anti-corrosion compound and trying to protect the car from damage.

The main disadvantage is the ease of deformation even with low pressure. Another drawback is the "sweating" of the headlights.

Salon Chevrolet Aveo.

It has become narrower, so the three passengers in the back are no longer so comfortable. In this case, the driver will touch the passenger’s side with his elbow.

There are many complaints about the bright interior, which makes the car more expressive, but at the same time it has excessive soiling.

Isolation and visibility are far from ideal.

Motor Chevrolet Aveo T 250.

Able to serve 400-500 thousand kilometers. With prolonged use, valve knocking, thermostat failure, loss of tightness of the front camshaft oil seal and valve cover gasket may occur.

Gearbox and chassis.

It has the following disadvantages - the crunch of the "pomegranate" and the deterioration of the tightness of the gland semiaxes.

As for the machine, its weak point is the parking solenoid, which may cause problems with starting the car.

The chassis of the T250 copes well with potholes, but the softness of the shock absorbers can cause rolls when maneuvering.

Weaknesses of the Chevrolet Aveo T 300

The T300 model replaced the equally well-known T250 model. For buyers in Russia new Chevrolet Aveo is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine. Since 2012, assembly has been carried out at the Gorky Automobile Plant.

The weaknesses of the T300 are almost no different from those of its predecessor. The greatest problems arise with the running system, power unit and interior.

They are worth considering in more detail.

Engine.

Here are the following problems:

leaks in the valve gasket;
the appearance of problems with the pressure sensor;
excessive fuel consumption;
increased risk of leakage from the power steering hose;
high risk of problems with the oil pressure sensor.

The experience of operating the Chevrolet Aveo showed that fuel consumption remained unchanged (that is, high).

Even the installation of more advanced power units from Opel did not help. So, average consumption gasoline on 1.6-liter engines with manual transmission is 10-11 liters per "hundred".

If an “automatic” is installed on the car, then “gluttony” is even higher.

The line of motors itself is quite reliable, but vibrations may occur due to malfunctions of the oxygen sensor. After 30 thousand runs, there is a high risk of squeezing oil out of the valve cover. After 10-15 thousand km, a power steering tube may leak. In the first cold weather, there is a risk of problems with the ignition module.

Walking system.

If we cite the weaknesses of the T300 running system, then it is worth highlighting:

small resource stabilizer struts;
weak struts on the rear axle;
the need for frequent replacement of wheel bearings.

T300 suspension feature - small ground clearance, which can be increased realistically by installing wheels with a larger diameter.

At the same time, it is worth noting the greater rigidity of the running gear and the minimum rebound travel of the shock absorbers. This feature is a plus for handling, but a minus for comfort.

For this reason, the stabilizers quickly fail, the rapid appearance of “link” knocks is possible.

Often the hub bearing does not withstand the load. The rear struts are also considered weak, because they require replacement after 40-50 thousand mileage.

Transmission T300.

As for the checkpoint, here users note rapid wear synchronizers 1 and 2 speeds under severe operating conditions.

The appearance of problems is possible after 20,000. As for the "automatic", there are almost no complaints here.

Regarding the interior, there are also a number of comments that are worth mentioning:

insufficient sound insulation;
the appearance of crickets and squeaks over the years;
scratching plastic.

All other features of the T300 (including the design) do not cause complaints and are at a high level.

Cooling system.

As for the cooling of the power unit, here the owners will have to deal with a thermostat malfunction after 30-60 thousand mileage.

Either it fails, or the temperature sensor installed in the casing of the said device breaks.

Electrical part.

Rarely, but sometimes after 40 thousand kilometers, the seat heating wiring burns out.

Approximately in the same place, there may be problems with the wiring that feeds the heated mirrors.

The T300 brake system is reliable, but one a big problem still there - the appearance of a roar brake calipers.

It so happened that from the factory the guides have a smaller circle size, which leads to the appearance of noise.

The solution to the problem is to install the fixing brackets. In this case, guides and brackets, as a rule, come in a common set.

The plus is that the official dealer fixes this problem for free (under warranty).

The body part and its coating is not satisfactory. The car passes a long mileage without obvious damage, resistant to rust.

But there is still a weak point - the luggage compartment lid, which becomes loose due to movement on rough roads, and the sealing rubber bands fail.

The intermediate result for the T300 model is quite optimistic. The car has weaknesses and most of the problems came from its predecessor.

The downside is that new troubles that “crawl out” during the active operation of the machine have also shown themselves.

For this reason, it is worth regularly monitoring the car and undergoing MOT. In general, we can safely say that the car is worth the money spent.

Chevrolet Aveo T300, aka Sonic, replaced the Aveo T250. For Russian market It is mainly equipped with a 1.6 liter engine and has been assembled at the GAZ plant since 2012. The weaknesses of the Chevrolet Aveo T300, in most cases, are the same as its predecessor. Sores relate to the engine, chassis and interior in terms of extraneous sounds. Let's consider them in more detail:

Engine: Fuel consumption, like the previous Aveo T250 model, remained at the same level, despite the fact that the Aveo T300 uses 4th generation Opel engines. For example: on engines 1.6 F16D4, with mechanical box gears, consumption, according to average estimates, is 10-11 liters per 100 kilometers, and if the car is equipped with an automatic gearbox, then the more it will be higher. The line of engines itself, in terms of reliability, has remained at the same high level. There are cases of excessive engine vibration, most likely the reason for this.

Of the old problems, the new generation inherited oil leakage from under the valve cover, this occurs mainly after 30 thousand km. run. More often after 10 thousand km. the power steering hose is leaking.

In principle, a rather rare case, to whom it will be lucky, is the extrusion of the oil pressure sensor (as a rule, if it happens, then in the first winter of operation of the car) and the failure of the ignition module (a symptom is engine tripping).

Chassis: The suspension on the T300 has a low clearance (the solution may be to install wheels of a larger diameter), it is excessively rigid with a small rebound shock absorber travel, this gives a plus to the car's handling and stability on flat road, but as soon as you start driving on “standard Russian” roads, you feel all the errors of asphalt pavers with your fifth point. Hence, a rather small resource for the suitability of stabilizer struts, “links” almost immediately begin to knock (by the way, modified, reinforced ones are installed in subsequent releases), in addition to stabilizer struts, their nuts can be added. Now it is desirable to securely fix these nuts or use a thread lock.

Often falls into disrepair.

The rear struts are also weak (as a rule, they leak after 30-50 thousand kilometers). What can console in this case? - this is the price of spare parts, which, like on the previous Aveo model, can be equated to consumables.

Checkpoint: In terms of reliability, there are no issues with the gearbox, in principle, there are no questions, but the mechanics, unfortunately, have not become better. If you like to drive a car, then by 20 thousand km. There may be wear on the synchronizers of the first two gears.

Salon: Judging by the numerous reviews of the owners of the Chevrolet Aveo T300, the weak point is the poor sound insulation of the cabin, in principle, this can be fixed by investing a little money. Also, over time, squeaks familiar from the Aveo T250 appear in the cabin. The interior trim uses a lot of painted plastic, which is very prone to scratches. For everything else, including design, you can put a plus.

Cooling: Often in the range of 30-60 thousand km, there are problems with. Either it breaks or it fails, which is built into the thermostat housing.

Electronics: A rather rare case, in the region of 40 thousand km., Associated with the burnout of the heated seats. Around the same area, the heated mirrors may burn out.

Brakes: A common disease in the Chevrolet Aveo T300 is the rattling of brake calipers. From the factory, the caliper guides are slightly smaller in diameter, as a result of which, over time, they begin to rumble, so such an Aveo new malfunction can be considered a childhood sore. Treatment consists in the installation of fixing brackets. Modified guides along with brackets are supplied in one set. I am glad that the official dealer makes a replacement under warranty.

Body: The quality of the paintwork of the body is good. Vehicle without external damage, very well resistant to metal corrosion. The only thing that was noticed by the weak points of the body is the trunk lid. She, over time, may begin to chat a little on bumps, hence the wear of the rubber bands of the seals.

Chevrolet Aveo T300 undoubtedly has its own strengths and weak points. Aveo T300 inherited most of the childhood diseases from its predecessor, but there are also new surprises that can manifest themselves. Practice shows that if you follow the car, in the sense of what to do on schedule and not arrange off-road rallies, the Chevrolet Aveo T300 will serve you for quite a long time. Add here spectacular aggressive appearance, futuristic interior design, you can say the car is worth the money.

Belongs to the second and so far the last generation model range. The start of production took place in 2011. In Russia, assembly began in 2012. A 1.6 liter power unit is installed on cars of this model. The design of the machine is considered quite modern and corresponds to all the latest trends in this area. And this is quite logical, because the eminent Giugiaro stands at the origins of the concept.

But the problem with stock cars is that they are stock, no matter how trite it may sound. When buying such a car in the salon, you can differ from fellow car owners only in the configuration, color and color scheme of the interior. Everything else is standard. And over time, this standard begins to become boring. In this article we will talk about tuning the Chevrolet Aveo T300 and its features.

Chip tuning Chevrolet Aveo t300

What feelings does a car buyer experience, especially in a specialized salon at official dealer? Of course, the joy of becoming the owner of such a machine. But over time, these feelings are erased and you begin to want more. The first thing that comes to mind is whether to add a little power to this car? You can start with optimization electronic block management. For this, special firmware programs are used, which allow you to make the operation of the power unit more elastic, add power and reduce fuel consumption by 1-2 liters per 100 kilometers.

It is worth noting that such an operation significantly transforms the Chevrolet Aveo T300. The factory settings are clearly not ideal. Cold start problems disappear, acceleration dynamics improve. It is important that it is carried out by professional specialists. Otherwise, instead of improvements, you can get new problems that professionals will still have to solve.

After chip tuning, you will have to make sure that the rest of the components associated with the engine match its new characteristics. To do this, it is desirable to update exhaust system first of all. This step will add power. The already popular “spider” and a straight-through muffler come to the rescue.

Changing the technical characteristics of the engine requires more attention to the brake system. Established will no longer fully guarantee security. Therefore, it is worth taking care of a more reliable braking system, possibly a sports profile. Having finished internal tuning Chevrolet Aveo T300, you can move on to styling.
