The skilled of the journal “Behind the Wheel” Sergei Zinoviev took a have a look at the secondary automobile market and recognized a number of European sedans (pickup again) that may be safely thought-about for buy. Within the pattern there have been automobiles aged 6-10 years with mileage of as much as 100 thousand kilometers and with a value between 1 and a pair of million rubles.

A type of choices is restoration Skoda Octavia third era. The size of the mannequin is 4659 mm, the bottom clearance is 155 mm, and the trunk is a powerful 568 liters. Worth: from 1.4 to 2.1 million rubles for six-year copies with mileage as much as 100 thousand km. The gadget may be very enticing, however that you must know which model to purchase.

The physique and suspension are made to final, the gear is wealthy, however there will not be many dependable energy models. Turbo engines with a quantity of 1.4 liters (150 hp) and 1.8 liters (180 hp) on Octavia A7 got here in new generations. The dreaded oil burner was eliminated, the weak timing chain of the 1.4-liter was changed with a belt, and the compression mechanism of the 1.8-liter was strengthened.

There are two kinds of exhaust – with dry clutch (for engines with low energy) and with moist ones. They had been continually up to date, the meeting mechatronics and clutch started to stay as much as 120-140 thousand kilometers extra usually, however to call DSG it’s nonetheless not possible to stay an extended life.

However there are two kinds of “mechanics” that may hold any engine alive. And solely the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine is mixed with a hydraulic computerized transmission Axis TF-60SN – there are some small flaws, however general the field is secure.
