Review Volkswagen Sharan 1.9 TDI (Volkswagen Sharan) 2005
Equipment: power windows, heated mirrors, 12 airbags, ABS, ESP , heated seats, heated front and rear windows, automatic 2-zone climate, trailer hook, bluetooth , factory tinting of the rear st e count by 65%, on-board computer, OEM navigation is integrated into CD - radio tape recorder, immobilizer and alarm.
The history of the car was easy to verify, since there was only one mistress before me. She provided all the bills, where, how and when the car was repaired and serviced. I sold it because for further use the car required a significant investment (replacement of brakes, shock absorbers, timing belt, filling the air conditioner). In Germany, cars are often sold on the eve of expensive routine maintenance... For example, replacing a Sharan's timing belt can cost about 1,000 euros, but it needs to be replaced every 100,000 km. The Germans know how to count, so there are many Sharans on sale at an attractive price, but with mileage approaching 100, 200, 300 thousand kilometers. I was lucky to have the opportunity to carry out repairs in Estonia, which cost me more than 3 times cheaper than local prices.
Strengths:
- Lots of space
- Low fuel consumption
Weak sides:
- Lack of space under the hood increases the cost of repairs
Review Volkswagen Sharan 1.9 TDI (Volkswagen Sharan) 2001
A car was purchased in the Republic of Belarus, but the car came from Germany just before I owned it. When buying, I gave preference to the quality and neatness of the car over the price. As a result, it was purchased for a little more than was offered at that time in local markets and auto newspapers. Of course, I was immediately frightened by the price of this car, I decided not to rush and take a ride through the markets and according to the ads, so that for the cost of my car already in the markets they were offered already in a slightly modified body in 2005, that is, four years younger, but not a single car is technically and the grooming I did not like more than my Sharan. As a result, I became the proud owner of the 2001 Sharan.
Of course it's true or not, God only knows, the mileage on my car at the time of purchase was 125,000 km. After the purchase, I naturally replaced the oil, naturally synthetics, and fuel filter Knecht. Immediately poured Liquid Molly, bought at the local market, and a Knecht filter. During the inspection, it turned out that one steering tip had to be replaced. Naturally, I did not change only it, but replaced two tips, two steering rods, stabilizer rods and stabilizer bushings, as they say in advance. These spare parts do not cost a lot of money, and you need to give time for repairs, and since I use the car for work purposes, idle time is money.
After 10,000 km, my oil pressure sensor began to give a signal that add oil, I eventually stop, let the car cool down, measure the oil level and the level turns out to be excellent. In this case, this signal indicates that it is time to change the oil in the engine. Although I can say that for synthetics, 10,000 km is a small mileage. Of course, I understand that the more often you change the oil in the engine, the better, but still 10,000 km is not enough. Then I add Castrol Edge oil and Bosch filter. As a result, I drive about 22000 km on it until the next change, and yet there was no such thing as with Liquimolli oil.
Strengths:
- The relative cheapness of spare parts and their availability
Weak sides:
- In the cabin, the coating is erased on the door handles, it would be better if it did not exist
Review Volkswagen Sharan 1.8 5V Turbo (Volkswagen Sharan) 2003
1.8T. tiptronic, climate control, heating, 5 seats, xenon, cassette / changer.
further without fanaticism.bought on the market for 500r. replacement of the front bearings, pump, belt (muzzle is not removed), internal combustion engine gaskets. The oil in the engine and the gearbox twice. I filled the air conditioner. I asked for the rubber in all the openings, and all this for 32 rubles. The car is not a bit, but a lot of retouched chips. The service book is a hoax (there are a lot of facts. I will not list. The cost of filling it out is from 100 bucks at the request of the seller. IMHO)
For an average uncle, there is a lot of space behind the wheel - the left elbow is on the window, the right one does not reach the armrest and vice versa, there is generally a field behind. 9 people + belongings for swimming and we go very quickly, of course we don't jump from the spot anymore. The turbine whistles longer than usual. Consumption 92 about 12 on the highway. Stands on the road in any load is excellent, but goats on the waves. It does not boil and there is not even any inclination to this for any energy consumption. The review is decent, the interior is quiet, except for ventilation at maximum.
Strengths:
- Sat down and drove
Weak sides:
- All cars have them

Review Volkswagen Sharan (Volkswagen Sharan) 2001
Hello everybody! For a very long time I was choosing a car for the family, and so that the baby carriage could fit comfortably, both the bicycle and the potatoes could be taken and I would not be ashamed to go to work. I started my choice with Sharana, naturally, I looked at Ford Galaxy Seat Alhambra. I went to try on Zafira-1,2, Renault Scenic, Espeys, Peugeot 307, 807, Mazda MPV, I looked at Hyundai Santa Fe and Trajet. And I realized that the optimum for me in terms of transformation-convenience-price maintenance, availability of spare parts is a Volkswagen Sharan with a 1.8T automatic transmission engine. This device was bought after a long search for a good option.
For a month of use, I will say that a used car always contains jambs and troubles, but the pleasure of driving and using is very great. A high landing in the city is a great blessing, you can see the situation through the roof of the Zhiguli. The automatic transmission is very good and wise, much less nerves are spent in a traffic jam. Climate control and rear stove are very good, the interior warmed up confidently in winter. The spaciousness inside the car amazes all fellow travelers and work colleagues; a 1x1x1 m box is easily put into the trunk.
Built-in child seats make life a lot easier ground clearance sufficient in winter. The electronic differential lock helps in winter, but it buries itself in the snow great, very heavy.

Review Volkswagen Sharan 1.9 TDI (Volkswagen Sharan) 2002
1.9TDI AutomatTiptronic, leather interior. Purchase in January 2007, 110,000 km on the speedometer.
Immediately replaced: front brake pads (40 euros?), Grenade protection (10 euros), GRU belt 40 euros, filters by itself and wipers (40 euros, completely). Immediately, antifreeze began to disappear (1 liter per 100 (one hundred) km), it turned out that when changing the oil, it got on the coolant hose and just corroded it (the hose).
Impressions in 1 month. Inconvenient backrest of the driver's seat, spine gets tired despite adjusting seat stiffness. Creaky (very!) Front panel, although there is an option that the car was broken. Ventilation controls are buttons that you will not get used to and they strongly take over attention while driving (the climate control screen illumination is dark blue, very hard to read). CD changer with its cockroaches inside does not take discs the first time.
Strengths:
- Lots, lots of space. Airflow for all 3 rows of seats (although for 2-3, it is only usable in the roof, but warm in the legs).
- The handling is good, you can turn around where you want in one or two steps.
- Light leather interior is beautiful!
- Not a bad sound (changer with its cockroaches).
Weak sides:
- Hijacked !!! Exactly in a month! Set the alarm, so they hijacked in tow.
Review Volkswagen Sharan (Volkswagen Sharan) 2002
We bought it in November 2002, took a complete set of comfortline (2 pillows, radio tape recorder, climate, power accessories, heated front seats), a five-speed tiptronic automatic transmission, 1.9 turbodiesel engine.
The first 20-25 thousand went with the replacement of pads, stabilizer struts. Then breakdowns began on a larger scale (thank God, there was a guarantee). The turbine broke down on 30 thousand (more than $ 2 thousand). At 38, some chip on the box glitched, it stuck in 3rd gear and did not switch anywhere else (replacing the chip would take 3 weeks to wait for it from Germany and 45 thousand rubles). Then another replacement of the turbine (by the way, by the way, too, wait 3 weeks). In the meantime, I changed the stabilizer struts and pads a couple of times. For 50 thousand, the wiper motor and the motor that supplies water to windshield, I already paid for this myself. By the way, the rear water motor also broke 2 times.
Now there are 80 thousand, the turbine is whistling, the service said that she will soon die, the suspension rattles (although 3 months ago I installed everything new, dear), the wiring is buggy, everything blinks like a New Year's tree, the front right wheel drive has broken. I was even tortured to list all this, how much I still have to invest - I’m scared to think (I can’t sell it, no one wants to buy it, although it’s in perfect condition if you don’t know these details).
Strengths:
- Excellent visibility
- Controllability
- Traffic cops practically do not touch
- 190 rides, it is not even felt that this is a minivan, confidently holds the road.
Weak sides:
- Terribly unreliable, Requires only high-quality fuel.
Review Volkswagen Sharan 1.9 TDI (Volkswagen Sharan) 2000
I bought a three-year-old Sharan. I have been in operation for 2.5 years. I passed 85 thousand (+ 85 thousand was on the speedometer when buying). I travel a lot, every day around the city. The car is comfortable and convenient. Took 1.9 TDII-economical to the point of indecency. Around the city 6.2 liters of solarium in summer, 6.8 liters in winter. On the highway - 5.0 liters at a speed of 110-130 km / h. The handling is great. Comfort, climate - everything is great. True, it is not clear why two on-board computers... Started even at -28 and it's a diesel! True, synthetic oil and diesel fuel are good.
But the disadvantages negate all these advantages. Its chassis is clearly not designed for its weight. Something flies all the time (although I drive almost alone in the car).
Changed: stabilizers - 4 pcs., Shock absorbers - 2 pcs., Steering rod ends - 2 pcs., Steering rod assembly - 1 pc. Silent blocks (they are two different in a set) - 2 sets, support bearings - 2 pcs. Now the intermediate semiaxis has departed. I barely found the price to fly away - 330 USD. You can take it for 200, but wait 2 weeks. There are simply no unoriginal ones. Used, too, no, a car with a rare engine. In addition, I changed the engine in the headlight (to adjust the headlight level) - 1 pc., Retracting 1 pc. Well, pads, freon, double timing, pump and battery do not count. Wires on back door cracking. It is necessary to do it periodically.
The history of the car was easy to verify, since there was only one mistress before me. She provided all the bills, where, how and when the car was repaired and serviced. I sold it because for further use the car required a significant investment (replacement of brakes, shock absorbers, timing belt, filling the air conditioner). In Germany, cars are often sold on the eve of expensive routine maintenance. For example, replacing a Sharan's timing belt can cost about 1,000 euros, but it needs to be replaced every 100,000 km. The Germans know how to count, so there are many Sharans on sale at an attractive price, but with mileage approaching 100, 200, 300 thousand kilometers. I was lucky to have the opportunity to carry out repairs in Estonia, which cost me more than 3 times cheaper than local rates.
The ergonomics of the cabin are at a height, there are enough steering wheel and seat adjustments for any driver. All buttons and switches are easy to reach, convenient and understandable. I like the high seating position of the driver, good all-round visibility. Lots of different sized glove compartments, which is very convenient. The purple backlight was annoying at first, but now I'm used to it. The salon is huge, with the possibility of transformation from a van with a volume of transported cargo of 210x100x110 cm, to a seven-seater minibus with a small trunk. Ideal for long trips with the whole family.
I was very pleased with the standard radio. On the previous car, the stations that I usually listen to were caught only within 30-40 km from the city. On Sharan's radio tape recorder, 200 km is not a problem, but his antenna is like a small bee sting on the roof, not like a meter telescopic antenna that was on the previous car. The original radio tape recorder even didn't want to change to a more advanced model, although at first there was such an idea. A very good and useful function is to heat the entire windshield. A few minutes and the forehead is transparent, just brush off the water with the wipers. In general, I am satisfied with the interior and the pribluds, perhaps there is not enough rear parking sensors and such a convenient option as automatic detection of burned out lamps. Such a system is even on my old 20-year-old 124th Mercedes. It could be so in basic configuration turn it on, because it costs a penny, but it's convenient.
The run for six months is only 9 thousand kilometers. It's too early to talk about reliability, but so far the car hasn't let down on the road. Fuel consumption from 5 to 8.5 liters of diesel. Oil does not eat, although the turbine is slightly snotty. I pour oil Motul 5W-30. I plan to change every 10,000 kilometers. The suspension is stiff, but you have to pay for the carrying capacity (over 700 kg). There is nothing strumming in the suspension (pah-pah-pah).
Unpleasant sounds and vibrations occur when you turn the steering wheel while standing still. The forums suggested that it was necessary to change the power steering belt and the tensioner roller. I replaced it, but that was not the reason. The power steering pump will be replaced next. If this does not help, then it will go for a replacement. steering rack... Recent diagnostics have revealed another problem. The coolant heater does not work. It turns out that this is a common disease of Sharans and is manifested in the fact that the heating of antifreeze is much slower. It does not affect the movement, but by the first cold weather it will have to be repaired on the principle that the car must be in perfect order by winter.
There is no rust, but there are many small scratches on the lacquer finish. It will have to be polished. I'm happy with the car. There have not been any big unpleasant surprises so far. In terms of reliability and maintainability, of course, it is inferior to 124 Mercedes, but comparing them is also not entirely fair, since they are from different classes and different eras. Moreover, the car is not new and it will take some time before all the ailments that Sharan inherited from the previous owner are healed.
Good luck to everyone on the road.
Advantages of the car
Lots of space
Low fuel consumption
Disadvantages of the car
Lack of space under the hood increases the cost of repairs
The first generation Volkswagen Sharan was assembled in 1995-2000 in Portugal. The minivan was the fruit of a collaboration with Ford. The German company was responsible for the transmission and power units, and Ford for the car body. The result is a nice roomy van, but not without flaws. In addition to the Sharan, the Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra twins were also produced, which were almost identical, with the exception of minor stylistic differences and a slightly different line of engines.
Unfortunately, the start of the Volkswagen Sharan journey was not easy for the brand. In cars until 1998, armrests fell off, trim elements "bloomed", and while driving along bad roads knocks and creaks appeared. Unfortunately, the squeaky interior has remained a trademark of the Volkswagen Sharan, even after a thorough facelift in 2000. The minivan has undergone the greatest stylistic changes in the front end. Its front end looked like Volkswagen passat that time.
The condition of the interior is largely dependent on the care of the owner. In well-groomed copies, despite the plastic is not the most High Quality, there are practically no scratches and cracks.
Volkswagen Sharan is a very comfortable and spacious vehicle. The 7-seater versions are usually richly equipped. The front seats are large and comfortable. You just need to get used to the steering wheel, which is very raised, like on buses.
On the second a number of Volkswagen Sharan has a lot of space at the disposal of passengers. The rear seats are quite large and too heavy by today's standards (23 kg). After restyling, the mechanism for securing the seats to the floor was modernized. Earlier, when installing chairs, jewelry precision was required, otherwise the fixing mechanism would fail. You should pay attention to this when buying - the chairs must be securely fixed in the locks.
In the seven-seater version of the minivan, two additional seats were installed in the trunk. Unfortunately, with seven passengers, the volume of the cargo hold is quite limited. If the second and third row of seats are removed from the van, the trunk will hold up to 2610 liters of luggage.
Engines
One of the most interesting options power plant which can be found under the hood of the Volkswagen Sharan - 1.9 TDI. The 130-horsepower version of this engine has unit injectors, a dual-mass flywheel and a variable geometry turbine. But concerns about possible malfunctions and subsequent repairs are covered with decent dynamics. Decent is the most accurate word to describe the capabilities of the Sharan 1.9 TDI. The 1.8-tonne minivan accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in almost 13 seconds. Due to the large frontal area and, accordingly, decent drag, you should not dream of the economy typical of a diesel engine. The average result is approximately 8 l / 100 km.
The diesel engine has to work with "mechanics", the gear selection mechanism of which lacks precision. Perhaps you will be comforted by the fact that before 2000 the situation was even worse, and transmissions were often accompanied by rattling sounds.
The top in the lineup is the 2.8 VR6 with 204 hp. Unfortunately, the engine is prone to overheating and damage to the underhead gasket. Problems arise with the chain drive of the camshafts.
Typical problems and malfunctions
The possibilities for transforming the interior of the Volkswagen Sharan are almost endless, which makes it very versatile. Large volumes of internal space provoked the owners to use the minivan to transport all kinds of goods. The result is suspension problems. With frequent exertion, they suffer rear levers... In the front suspension, stabilizer struts and tie rods are subject to rapid wear. Support bearings do not differ in endurance either. The consolation is that thanks to the three Sharan-Galaxy-Alhambra twins, there is no problem finding quality substitutes. Although the chassis strength has improved since the upgrade in 2000, checking its condition should not be neglected.
The seven-seat modification of the Volkswagen Sharan is a version that must have an air conditioner. The large glass area provides excellent visibility, but in the summer this leads to the fact that passengers in the third row without an air conditioner are simply baked. As a rule, the well-known "climatronic" is responsible for the comfortable state of the atmosphere in the cabin. The climate is comparatively reliable. If the air stops cooling, then most likely the air conditioner cooler located in front of the engine radiator has "leaked". It is worth recalling that the use of an air conditioning system, from which the "freon" has evaporated, threatens to jam the compressor. The liquid circulating in the system along with the gas provides lubrication to the compressor. Eventually, a loud metal rumble will begin to come from the engine compartment. Compressor repairs will become inevitable. With regard to heating, an additional heater comes to the rescue in diesel versions.
When inspecting a seven-seater minivan, it is necessary to check the operation of the third row seat belts. They should stretch out effortlessly and retract easily. This is important because the Volkswagen Sharan earned only three stars out of five in the EuroNCAP crash tests.
Volkswagen Sharan owners also face minor electrical faults. For example, the electric drive of the wipers fails. In the case of an electric glass drive, the reason for the failure is in the guides and the mechanical part.
Conclusion
And yet, don't be afraid of the Volkswagen Sharan. It's just that, given the many shortcomings, you need to be very careful when choosing a worthy copy!
The Volkswagen Sharan minivan also belongs to the traditional multi-seat minivans or family cars, the production of which began in May 1995, together with the SEAT Alhambra minivan, which is almost identical in design. Until 2006, the Volkswagen Sharan together with the Ford Galaxy had the same body structure. For the 2010 Geneva Motor Show year Volkswagen Sharan was presented in the newest generation and was now positioned alongside the Volkswagen Touran compact van and the Volkswagen T5 minibus. Like most vans of this class, the Sharan also has a changing interior concept. This means that in the Sharan, which is also available in a version with four-wheel drive called Sharan 4motion, with the help of a special adjustable handle can be folded or completely removed from the passenger compartment up to five seats of the maximum seven. The resulting cargo compartment of approximately 2 m in length is also suitable for the transport of bulky goods, which is primarily confirmed by the massive presence of Sharan minivans in the parking lots of many furniture stores. The choice of engines for the 2010 Volkswagen Sharan model covers engines from the Volkswagen production range, so for its equipment a 2.0-liter TDI engine with three power stages of 115, 140 hp is used, and from January 2013 and from 177 hp. with., and also as standard configuration Sharan car used TSI engine with a working volume of 1.4 liters and a power of 150 hp. The most powerful engine for the Volkswagen Sharan is the 2.0-liter TSI engine, which uses Volkswagen car Golf GTI developing a power of 200 hp / 221 km / h. The Volkswagen Sharan is again sold under the SEAT Alhambra name under the SEAT subsidiary at the same price and with the same equipment. New in the modern generation are the large sliding doors, as demonstrated by the Volkswagen minibus or the new minivan. Opel meriva... All Volkswagen Sharan models are equipped as standard with a stability control system with an emergency braking system and a recoil system, with an optional direct shift gearbox (DSG), equipped with a front rear and head airbag, also equipped with a specially developed Volkswagen Sharan climate control system with separate temperature control and air conditioning for the rear of the passenger compartment, as well as 16-inch wheels with corresponding wide tires. Would you like to buy this car in a used condition? On the website you will find both a used Volkswagen Sharan and a new or one-year-old Volkswagen Sharan at an attractive price!
My golden hands, glory to the Almighty that he rewarded me with them. Therefore, I do the repair myself. I try to use the original details. The price for them is one and a half, higher, but calmer. Racks in a circle changed to, hydro,. Ball bearings, CV joints, rakku, tips, bones, cables, parking brake, and much more on the chassis, all original. I changed the turbine on the engine (it is with geometry), after flashing about 135 horses on the stand, drums,. pressure reducing valve and begins to bleed fuel back into the tank. There is only one way out, give a damn, fuel pump, and then calmly start the engine. There are no functions, kickdown, on this year's car. But when I drowned out the USR, punctured the catalyst and changed the DMRV to 037 (the original, by the way, this is on the VAZ2110,2114), the thrust increased noticeably. People, try not to change the DMRV, sometimes it is enough to rinse it in alcohol (propyl, isopropyl, ethyl, methyl), while it is wet, put it back in place and start the engine. The air flow will dry it out. And you will see the difference in, YOU, value, air, I don’t remember the group, and most importantly, you will feel the thrust. The fifth door stopped closing, it turned out that the wires in the package were broken, near the hinges. I disassembled the corrugation, there are about 10 wires of them, tinned the ends, soldered, insulated with heat shrinkage and .... everything worked and the wipers and all the lighting equipment. You can tell a lot, but better go to Skype - mabus66661 General impression Inertia, smoothness, grace, solidity and many other qualities of this car. About, sharan, you need to say not a minivan, but a carriage. The steering is very responsive, especially at speed. Landing in the driver's seat is pleasant, the visibility is excellent. Not a sedan (station wagon), but not a bus either. Although, when the VAZ 2110 and VW T4 stand next to them, they differ little in size. More precisely, a sharan, between them! I like four swing doors, it's easier with them. With sliding problems over time (sagging, closing poorly, access to the salon is limited). Installed on my car diesel unit AFN 1.9 TDI 1998 release with electronic injection pump. The people call such cars - TRACTOR. But thanks to the presence of the injection pump, I bought this car. Reystaling cars (younger than 2001) came with CDI unit injectors (they are more expensive and capricious). The electrics are easy to repair and much more reliable than those of cars of recent years (judging by other reviews, many criticize Sharanovskaya). Chassis like a tank, except for the front struts. I would put racks in one and a half times the diameter, yet the weight of the car is about 2 tons. In winter for good view comfortable heated windshield (consumes about 30 amperes). About the salon, it is Spartan, heated only the front seats. Behind, oars, in front of electric lifts. Side mirrors on cables without heating, I like it (more reliable, greased and no electronics), these were on my Audi 80 V3.
