Sometimes replace the engine is much cheaper than repair – the story I heard from a friend who, well, very versed in computers – one word, pros. So, first things first.
The idea was to contract Mitsubishi 4G13. The Japanese are very smart people, and their technique has extremely high reliability, but it does happen, that still fails. Make major repairs – a rather expensive, as I learned, should fuck off 35-70 thousand rubles. At my friend's car was broken seat pulley on the crankshaft. Of course, our craftsmen are doing something, but it would not have saved the situation. Imagine a pulley – it weighs 200 kg, the frequency of its circulation – 7,500 rpm. Plus, my friend had another problem: in the engine cylinders had low compression (8 instead of 12-15). Having estimated sensibly, he decided that he translated into U.S. Dollars repairs would cost 45 thousand rubles.
Refusing to make a repair, call in ANT, decided to find out the price of the new unit MMC 4G13. It turned out that the price of the engine makes 215 thousand. But this option was rejected – one bought a car "only" 150 thousand.
There followed a call to Yucca Motors, which said the price of the engine – 26 thousand rubles. Agree – cheaper option. Attachments I did not need: a generator pulley crankshaft, etc.). Then the price has decreased, amounting to 19.9 thousand rubles. This version was quite adequate for my friend. By the way, the engine was run for only 60 thousand kilometers, which is pretty low, considering that the Japanese engine. Cheap price for my friend bought the engine due to the low capacity of the unit – 1.3 liters. The best engines may cost and all 50 000.
I'll tell you a little bit, what are the contractual engines. Used car in Japan, the age of, say 3 years, broken down into parts and sent to us by sea, in Russia. The engine is usually sold along with the box, but the companies that sell auto parts, dismantle and sell all individually.
Once you have changed the engine in a car, you must register with the traffic police, you have to issue a new certificate of registration of the vehicle. Thus, we conclude that sometimes instead of repair is better to buy a contract with the replacement engine – from a financial point of view, this operation can be very profitable.
