Do you mean that synthetics have the ability to flow through leaking seals in the engine? Why? After all, it has the same cold viscosity as mineral oil - 20W, yes, the viscosity index is better, the structure is more uniform, therefore the term "life" of the oil is longer than that of mineral...

I have to note that the viscosity of the oil according to SAE has nothing to do with the base from which this oil was made. Our factory made 20W50 oil for sports drift cars and it was synthetic.

No, I was sure. I had the one on my car that was instaled from the factory, and another one was sent from the gasoline version of the KV6, and I wasn't sure if it would work adequately. But as I wrote above - it fit perfectly and everything works fine. I'm sorry if I wrote with mistakes - I'm...

Still many questions and have no answers) But little by little I will unravel this tangle. Yes, my next visit will be to a diagnostician who will be able to read the errors and it would be good if he could fix the malfunctions.

Finally took Frill from the aggregators. As I thought, they could not achieve normal operation of automatic transmission. The fact is that the symptoms are not constant. The car sometimes drives, then it seems to start from the third gear. In addition, the TC, DHC and airbag (srs) lighted up on...

and save almost £1.5к ;) although, in my opinion, such work does not require special knowledge and can be done independently (it is better to spend money on a tool) IMHO

Some oils are designed for such a replacement interval (long life) thanks to the high-quality base and additives, but I prefer to follow a simple rule for diesel engines - one liter of oil in the engine works for 1000 kilometers. If 7 liters of oil are poured into the engine, please replace it...

Відкрив для себе нову виконавицю. Nice.

I don't know about you, but in Ukraine, in such cases, the damaged cylinder is bored out and a new "dry" sleeve is pressed. This kind of work costs +/- £30

On the thematic forums about Freelander, there are often complaints about the clutch (replacement only in the complex, inability to pump) Followed by the installation of a clutch drive from Niva with the possibility of bleeding. However, I think that you have a beast like Niva quite exotic and...

Yes, it's sad that the time was wasted. After all, if these guys do not repair the gearbox, I simply will not pay them. No result - no payment. However, they are not the only masters, so I will deal with this malfunction.

Уes, disassembled. I know for sure that the clutches were replaced, the "bagel" was repaired, a known-working hydraulic unit was substituted, but the car does not drive normally (at least forward), as if it is in emergency mode, as if it starts moving from the third gear. The masters continue to...

Picked up some spare parts from the post office today. two rollers (one of them began to creak from time to time, I will replace both), air, oil, fuel and breather filters (I decided to install the cyclone type) and also a gas spring for the rear door. All in all ₴1586.00 (approx £36) now the...

Let me draw a line (conclusion) Іf you don't expect to pass the car on to your great-grandchildren - it doesn't matter what antifreeze is poured into the system. Еnough for your age. This is my personal opinion and it can be harmful (!)

That is, almost at the limit of the temperature regime. That's why the OAT answer. Although, I will point out that in my wife's Opel Tigra (1st gen.), the normal temperature is up to 110 °C (and in the summer it is often up to 120) and the antifreeze of our production is poured, it corresponds...

Checked. Great for TD4

Today I picked up a set(no) of wheels for Frill from the post office. I asked the seller (a woman) whether all five wheels are the same size, to which I received an affirmative answer. And 4 17" wheels and a 16" spare wheel arrived (although they were all supposed to be 16") Well...so-so. now...

So, certain conclusions can be drawn, but for this some clarifications are needed. Is this a high-temperature engine?

I didn't wait until Monday - I wrote to the technologist this morning and this is what he wrote back to me: the difference in antifreezes based on ethylene glycol and propylene glycol is only in anti-corrosion additives (ethylene glycol itself is corrosive), their basis and principle of action...

Well, let's be honest: the technology of organic synthesis and the technology of organic acids can turn out to be different things. Therefore, it is better to ask a specialized specialist. I will give an answer in the near future. from Monday )again, the translation is magical. But, it seems, we...
