Repair and maintenance of UAZ 3163 (Patriot)

UAZ Patriot is a comfortable modern SUV that has embodied all the best developments and technical solutions of UAZ specialists over the past 10 years. And no wonder, because the UAZ Patriot, the serial production of which began at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on August 17, 2005, is the first fundamentally new model of an SUV developed at UAZ over the past 30 years. This car is aimed at people who lead an active lifestyle, and is perfect both for daily trips around the city for shopping or to work, and for recreation outside the city limits, in nature.

Of the fundamentally new solutions of the specialists of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, it is worth noting the design of the suspension, steering and transmission assemblies, the interior, which is characterized by increased convenience, and a very attractive, original exterior design. Imported components are widely used in the assembly of UAZ Patriot vehicles, their share in the car is more than 20 percent. Special mention should be made of the Iranian panel, the Korean gearbox like the one on the Rexton, and the headlights that Bosh designed specifically for the UAZ Patriot.

In order to implement the launch of the new product as successfully as possible, to achieve high levels of car assembly quality, a new welding line was launched at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, the main conveyor was modernized, and a new Eisenmann painting complex was built. Also noteworthy is the introduction of a new "Manufacturing System", similar to that used in Japanese car factories, and the passing of a special training course for the personnel to assemble the Patriot. All this testifies to the special attitude of the enterprise managers to this model, and it should be noted that it has borne fruit: the build quality has noticeably improved in comparison with the previous models of the plant. When you first enter the salon of a new UAZ model, you immediately pay attention to the thoroughness of the study of everything, down to the smallest details. The salon is spacious and comfortable, the interior is finished with practical soft plastic. Particularly pleased with the dimensions of the new five-door SUV, they, as well as a steering wheel with a tilt angle adjuster, will allow even a very tall driver to drive the car as conveniently as possible. In the harsh Russian winter, the stove saves from the cold, which in the new model can also work separately for the first and second rows.

Fortunately, the comfort did not compromise the dynamic performance, excellent endurance and flotation of the Patriot. One has only to turn on the four-wheel drive, and you will feel like a tamer of even the most impassable spaces. The main components of the car do not fail even in extreme conditions, and the high-spirited engine allows the UAZ Patriot to accelerate to a speed of 150 km / h.

Summing up, the advantages of the new UAZ SUV can be considered a spacious and comfortable interior with a modern design, excellent visibility, comfortable seats and, of course, cheapness compared to imported counterparts. The disadvantages include modest dynamics, itching and vibration of the levers, cotton brakes, limited traction, smeared reaction on the road.

The basic configuration of the UAZ Patriot includes central locking, power steering, an adjustable steering column, audio preparation, an additional brake light on the rear door, as well as stamped wheels with 225/75 R16 tires. In the Comfort version, an electric drive, electric heating, front electric windows and a few more additional options are also installed.

The odometer showed 15,000 km. This means that it is time to do the scheduled maintenance-1. In addition to it, you need to change the oil in the front axle, since ...

Since, upon a more detailed study of the work orders from Soffit, I suddenly realized that on the TO-0 I made, the oil was changed only in the rear axle. It was already six months ago, so it’s difficult to say what exactly happened: either I said something wrong, or we did not understand each other with the master-receiver.

Thus, you first need to purchase oil for the internal combustion engine and the front axle.

Since the last oil change, I still have about 3 liters of oil for the internal combustion engine, so one canister of Lukoil with a volume of 4 liters for the engine was bought:

and two Lukoil canisters with a volume of one liter each for the bridge:

In the last post on oil change, I told why I choose Lukoil as my lubricant supplier.

Like last time, I buy oil at a Lukoil gas station, where, as I also mentioned earlier, the chance of stumbling upon a fake is minimal.

I made an appointment at the service station the next day.

In the course of a routine check, the master revealed some deterioration of the alternator drive belt. We have heard a lot about this feature of factory parts, so I agreed with the master's recommendation to replace the belt. A low coolant level was also noticed. This misunderstanding was also corrected.

All the work took about 4 hours, not counting the car wash, therefore, my recommendation: you should take care of your leisure time in advance during the maintenance work.

In total, according to the works and materials of the service station, cost of TO-1 amounted to 7343 rubles. If you take into account the oil I bought, then this is another two thousand rubles. That is, in the end: ~ 9400 rubles.

The cars of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant have won the respect of motorists throughout the country, thanks to their exceptional reliability. But breakdowns and damage cannot be avoided, and UAZs are no exception. To keep your car always on the move, it needs quality service, and sometimes repairs.

You can successfully solve the arisen problem in the auto centers "TORGMASH". High quality of services, use of the most modern technologies and reasonable cost - these are the 3 main components of the success of our company.

Classic model

The off-road vehicle UAZ 3163 Patriot was put into production at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 2005. It became the successor to the UAZ 3160 and, which appeared in 1997 and 2000, respectively. Its main difference from previous models was the use of a large number of imported parts.

UAZ Patriot is equipped with European steering, braking, heating and air conditioning systems. In addition, the car has a Dymos gearbox (gearbox) and comfortable seats manufactured by the South Korean corporation DAWNSCO.

Some cars were equipped with an imported Iveco F1A diesel engine, but later it was replaced by a domestic ZMZ 51432 engine, which meets higher environmental standards. All other parts, including the chassis, transfer case and axles, remained domestic.

Thanks to the modernization, UAZ repairs on their own began to be required much less often. Despite this, the need for regular maintenance of the Patriot remains, since it is very difficult to find a reliable UAZ car service.

Diagnostic work

Do-it-yourself regular maintenance of a UAZ SUV consists in checking and inspecting the mechanisms of the car, replacing defective parts at regular intervals. Diagnostics is necessary, since each unit and unit has its own service life. Timely maintenance of the UAZ 3163 allows you to identify malfunctions before they lead to sad consequences.
