Produced to this day, that's enough famous model Geely MK.

The car went on sale in 2006, the manufacturer used a platform from. In our country, sales were launched only two years later, and two years later, the manufacturer created production in our country. A compact crossover of this model was also created.

In 2013, a restyled version was released, which received a new slightly improved appearance and a new interior, and we turn to it.

Design

The exterior of this model is slightly unique among its competitors, but the design itself will not please many people. She also differs among the models produced in her own country, as the relatives of this sedan are trying to become more like the popular premium cars.

The front of the Geely MK has a slightly embossed hood, halogen optics of a slightly irregular shape. Between the headlights there is a radiator grill, which is divided by chrome crossbars, on which the brand's logo is located. The bumper is not very massive, it has a so-called small lip and round fog lights that are neatly but beautifully inserted into the bumper.

The side of the car will attract attention with a small stamping in the lower part of the door, swollen wheel arches also look beautiful, but for some reason the front arch is swollen much more. The profile also has chrome door handles and this is where the attractive parts end from this angle.

The back of the car is also quite boring, it has big headlights, a simple trunk lid and a massive bumper. This is where all the details that attract attention end.

Sedan dimensions:

• length - 4342 mm;
• width - 1692 mm;
• height - 1432 mm;
• wheelbase - 2502 mm;
• clearance - 150 mm.

A small number of body paint options were offered to the buyer, among them:

• silver;
• black;
• blue;
• yellow;
• green.

Specifications

The manufacturer offers the buyer only one type of engine, this is a 1.5-liter gasoline unit, which produces 94 horsepower... The car accelerates very badly, but it was not created for this, its main feature is to consume not too much fuel, the Geely MK consumption in the city is 7 liters. This motor is paired with a 5-speed motor and no other is offered. The model is stopped using disc and drum brakes.

The model is gaining the first hundred in as much as 18 seconds, and the maximum speed is 165 km / h. Therefore, if you are a young guy who has no money for fast car, but love to drive, and look at this option, it is better to refuse it, since it even accelerates faster.

The suspension of the model provides good smoothness, in front we have an independent system mounted on springs, and at the back there is already a semi-independent system mounted on springs. The chassis also had EBDs, which are located here to ensure the stability of the vehicle.

Interior

The interior of the car is a little unusual for many, since the dashboard is located in the center of the dashboard at the very top and it is a little inconvenient, firstly because of the habit and because of the fact that you have to constantly turn your head and be distracted from the road. The steering wheel of the car is a usual 3-spoke with the company logo, under which there is a niche for documents.

On the center console, in addition to the dashboard, there is a regular radio tape recorder, a niche for small things, a cigarette lighter and a selector for the stove and air conditioner. The cabin has an armrest and two cup holders. There is not much room in the interior, but for people of average build it will be enough.

There is enough space in the Geely MK's cabin both in the front and in the back, but about the long movement of the rear passengers, problems may arise. The fact is that there is enough room for the legs and for the head, but there is not too much of it, so after a while the legs become swollen. The trunk volume is 430 liters, but this space will be enough, and unfortunately it is impossible to fold the rear seats, so large loads cannot be transferred.

The quality of the trim materials is poor, it is plastic and fabric, but you already get a leather steering wheel trim as standard.

In terms of safety, unfortunately, the model has not been tested by various companies, but regardless of the configuration, the sedan will be equipped with a driver's airbag and a passenger airbag.

Prices and configurations Geely MK

Now the car is not sold new, but it can be purchased on the secondary market, the average price is 200,000 rubles. When buying, pay attention to the complete set, as they differ.

Attended basic configuration Base, which received:

• air conditioner;
• fog lights;
• heating and electric mirrors;
• leather steering wheel;
• all power windows.

The second configuration, called Comfort, received, in addition to all of the above, heated front seats and rear parking sensors.

A car with an unusual interior and a very weak engine, but at the same time this is all justified by a low price, so only because of this it can be taken.

Geely MK is a Chinese representative of the small class. During its development, the first generation Toyota Vios was taken as a basis, which, in turn, is nothing more than the redesigned first Toyota Yaris. This explains the almost complete similarity of the chassis with the 1999-2002 Yaris, and the 1.5 liter engine is a licensed copy of the Toyota 5A-FE.

Geely MK appeared in Russia in June 2008. The first Geely came to salons straight from China. Since 2010, Geely MK has been assembled in Cherkessk, at the Derways enterprise.

Engine

The Geely MK engine has a timing belt drive. From experience, the condition of the belt does not interfere with checking after 40-50 thousand km. Some of them do not show the slightest signs of wear for 60,000 km, while others may lack a pair of teeth, and the belt turns out to be covered with cracks. Fortunately, when the belt breaks, the valves do not meet with the pistons. Remove the right engine mount when replacing the timing belt.

At a cold start, the Geely MK motor often starts to "triple". The problem can be solved after replacing the candles, high-voltage wires, ignition coils (1,000 rubles) or adjusting the valves. When removing high-voltage wires, owners often tear them off. Neglect of adjusting the valves is fraught with their "jamming" with a run of more than 40-60 thousand km and subsequent burnout. Burnout is more common on cars with HBO installed.

The gasket on the throttle heating begins to leak antifreeze over time. When the coolant dries up, it contaminates the idle speed regulator channel and the regulator itself. The result is a difficult start, the engine stalls immediately after setting and starts only with the gas pedal depressed. To prevent leakage, after cleaning the channel, it is better to put the throttle gasket on a heat-resistant sealant. A native new idle speed regulator costs about 1,000 rubles, an analogue for a Chevrolet Niva for 500 rubles is suitable as a substitute.

The Geely MK motor is prone to overheating in the warm season when driving for a long time at a speed of more than 100 km / h with the air conditioner on. The problem appears when the mileage is more than 40-50 thousand km. One of the reasons is that the cooling fan does not work due to poor contact at one of the three attachment points of the ground wire. Also, the cause of overheating can be the late opening of the thermostat and the peculiarity of the operation of the motor ECU, which gives the command to turn on the fan even at critical values ​​of the coolant temperature. The coolant temperature sensor itself may give incorrect values ​​due to acidification of the contact terminals. "Underheating" or a long warm-up of the motor indicates acidification of the thermostat in the open position, which is also not uncommon. A new thermostat costs about 200 rubles.

Some owners are faced with the need to replace a burnt cylinder head gasket. The liquid cooling pump of the engine may fail when the vehicle is driven over 50-100 thousand km. The bewilderment is caused by the appearance of rusty stains in the expansion tank. In cold weather, cooling radiators often leak at the junction of plastic with metal.

The O-ring of the exhaust system at the junction of the exhaust manifold with the pipe often has to be changed due to burnout. With a mileage of more than 80-120 thousand km, the front crankshaft oil seal begins to leak. The oil pressure sensor can fail with a mileage of more than 50-60 thousand km.

The rear engine support travels more than 40-60 thousand km, after which it starts knocking. The new support will cost 1.5-2 thousand rubles.

After 150-200 thousand km, oil consumption often increases. Eliminate the oil burner just by replacing valve stem seals it does not always work out. Often, buried rings are also to blame. A set of rings and caps is available for 4,000 rubles.

Transmission

The 5-speed "mechanics" on the new Geely MK suffers from poor gear shifting for the first few thousand kilometers. After the elements of the box "roll in", and there are no problems with the ease of shifting gears. A considerable contribution to the poor speed selectivity is made by the "cheap" oil, poured into the box even during assembly. Such a "transmission" thickens strongly in the cold. After changing the working fluid, the operation of the box improves.

With a mileage of more than 50-70 thousand km, the box starts to make noise. The reason is the wear of the bearings of the input and output shaft. It is noteworthy that in the warranty booklet the box bearings are spelled out as a separate item, and the warranty for them is only 30 thousand km. For the work of removing and installing the box, you will have to pay about 3 thousand rubles, for the bulkhead - about 4 thousand more rubles, a set of new bearings will cost 1-2 thousand rubles.

The clutch takes care of more than 90-120 thousand km. New set with basket and release bearing will cost 3-5 thousand rubles. With a mileage of more than 100,000 km, the box often starts to make noise when the gas is released in third gear.

Drive oil seals can leak after 30-40 thousand km. The cost of the drive oil seal is about 500 rubles. After 50-60 thousand km, it may be necessary to replace the clutch master cylinder. A leaking cylinder can be restored using a repair kit for 600 rubles.

The anthers of the outer CV joint will most likely have to be replaced when the mileage is more than 100-120 thousand km. The original anthers cannot be found separately, since they are sold only in assembly with the drive. But it will not be difficult to find an analogue in the store of spare parts from other car brands.

Undercarriage

The Geely MK suspension is not particularly durable. Racks to surrender first front stabilizer- after 20-30 thousand km. The stabilizer bushings run a little longer - about 40-60 thousand km. Shock absorbers can leak or knock after 30-60 thousand km. The cost of a new one is in the range of 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles. Front wheel bearings serve more than 60-80 thousand km. Ball and suspension arms travel the same amount. A new ball one costs about 800 rubles.

Due to the "curve" of the assembly steering rack has a lateral play that can be removed after pulling up. Often, the rail begins to leak after 50-100 thousand km. The cost of a new rail is about 15-20 thousand rubles. Steering rods and tips run more than 50-80 thousand km. Sometimes the power steering pump also fails.

Due to the corrosion of the coating of the piston of the brake cylinder of the front caliper with a mileage of more than 50-70 thousand km, the brakes can wedge. The repair kit will cost 400 rubles. Sometimes the rear brake cylinders begin to "poison" the brake fluid.

Body and interior

The body of Geely MK does not resist corrosion well. The first foci inevitably appear on the chips. And after 1-2 years of operation, in the lower corner of the front doors under the seal, in the area of ​​the boot lid lock, the fuel filler flap and on the inner surface of the hood. Later, the wheel arches and sills begin to rot. Sill corrosion is most susceptible to cars with a factory hatch. The engineers brought the hatch gutters right into the thresholds. Over 30 thousand rubles will have to be paid for the repair of the thresholds.

Headlights and taillights often fog up, and fog lamps often burst when used in cool, damp weather.

The hard plastic of the Geely MK interior is very squeaky, especially in cold weather. The rattling in the steering wheel can occur due to the screws that loosen over time that hold the airbag assembly. A loosely fitted steering shaft seal allows engine and exhaust noise into the passenger compartment.

One of Geely MK's problems is the water in the cabin. It gets there because of poorly glued windshield and rear windows, as well as through flying rubber plugs on the bottom. Water accumulates in the trunk due to the seating of the rear lights and the rear shock absorber mounts. Water can also enter through the ventilation valves.

The operation of the air conditioner also raises a lot of complaints. The air conditioner becomes ineffective when the ambient temperature is more than 25-30 degrees Celsius. This is facilitated by the design feature of the heating system: the hot pipes and the heater radiator are located directly under the panel. Even in cool weather with the air conditioner turned off and the temperature regulator in the cold sector, warm air comes out of the deflectors.

With more than 100,000 km of driving, leaks in the air conditioning system are found more and more often. The air conditioner compressor (about 9-12 thousand rubles) can jam after 50-100 thousand km. The heater fan sometimes stops turning on or changes the rotation speed due to the failure of the relay (rheostat) of the fan speed controller. The new regulator is not expensive - about 400 rubles.

Electrical equipment

Problems with the charging current may appear after 80-120 thousand km. The reason is the failure of the voltage regulator. A set of a new relay and brushes will cost 2.5-3.5 thousand rubles. A new generator costs about 4.5-5.5 thousand rubles.

Due to the short circuit of the temperature sensor of the seat heating element or "sticking" of the heating activation button, the heating of the front seats may stop working. Factory heating elements for heating mirrors do an excellent job, but they often fail. After replacing the mirrors with an analogue, heating becomes not so effective, but much more durable.

If the mileage is more than 100-150 thousand km, the steering column cable may break. There are frequent problems with the dashboard illumination. The reason is the failure of the microcircuit of the driver board of the electric motors that control the movement of the arrows and the illumination of the devices. The cost of a new device is about 7-8 thousand rubles.

Conclusion

The quality of Geely MK, produced at home in China, and here, in Russia, is significantly different. Chinese Geely are assembled more soundly - all elements of the body and interior fit well, and the gaps are even everywhere. Domestic assembly, on the contrary, is famous for poor fit of body parts and always under-screwed or torn off bolts. But there are also disadvantages of Chinese cars - the ECU firmware does not cope well with starting in cold weather, a software update is necessary. In addition, electrical problems are not uncommon in Chinese Geely due to oxidation of contacts made of low-quality brass.

Another problem that you have to face is the complexity of the selection of spare parts. There may be completely different parts under the same number that are not interchangeable with the original. Either everything that was at hand was shoved into the car during assembly, or problems in catalogs ... The only way out was to take a faulty unit (part) with you and compare the similarities by eye.

Lamps used in the car

Any modern passenger car or freight car can be serviced and repaired by yourself, in a regular garage. All that is required for this is a set of tools and a factory repair manual with a detailed (step-by-step) description of the operations. Such a manual should contain the types of operating fluids, oils and greases used, and most importantly, the tightening torques of all threaded connections of parts of vehicle units and assemblies. Italian cars - Fiat Alfa Romeo Lancia Ferrari Mazerati (Maserati) have their own design features. Also in a special group you can select all French cars - Peugout (Peugeot), Renault (Renault) and Citroen (Citroen). German cars are complex. This is especially true for Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi and Porsche (Porsche), slightly less - to Volkswagen and Opel (Opel). The next large group, isolated by design features, are American manufacturers - Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouth, Dodge, Eagle, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln ... Of the Korean firms, it should be noted Hyundai / Kia, GM - DAT (Daewoo), SsangYong.

More recently, Japanese cars were distinguished by a relatively low initial cost and affordable prices for spare parts, but recently they have caught up with prestigious European brands in terms of these indicators. Moreover, this applies to almost the same extent to all brands of cars from the land of the rising sun - Toyota (Toyota), Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi), Subaru (Subaru), Isuzu (Isuzu), Honda (Honda), Mazda (Mazda or, as they said before, Matsuda) , Suzuki (Suzuki), Daihatsu (Daihatsu), Nissan (Nissan).

Geely MK is a Chinese representative of class C, which is a development of Geely Automobile companies. In recent years, the Chinese auto industry has made a real breakthrough in the automotive industry. One of the main components of the popularity of this model is design - the exterior of the car is not typical for an oriental manufacturer and looks more like an "American". It is not worth comparing this car with the Americans, Japanese or Koreans, since they are higher in build quality and components, but this model has one parameter by which it surpasses all its competitors, and this is its price, and this parameter has always been one of the main ones when choosing a car. And, here's how the low cost of the car affected its reliability, and what you should pay attention to when choosing a Jili MK with mileage in the secondary market, now we will try to find out.

A bit of history:

In the domestic Chinese market, the premiere of Jili MK took place in 2006, but in the CIS this model appeared only in the middle of 2008. The first generation of Toyota Yaris was taken as the basis for the development of the car, and engines from Toyota are also used on the car. Geely previously purchased these engines from Tianjin Industrial (FAW), which is licensed by Toyota. In January 2010, at the factory of the automobile company "Derways" in the city of Cherkessk (Russia), the production of cars for the CIS markets was launched. Prior to that, Geely MKs were supplied to car dealerships straight from China. In 2011, Geely rebranded the car, and as a result, the car was named Englon MK, and MK Cross was renamed Englon Jinying cross. The rebranding was carried out in connection with a new marketing strategy aimed at renewing and raising the brand image. In 2015, Geely MK was replaced by the GC6, which is a deep restyling.

Weaknesses and disadvantages of Geely MK with mileage

The metal, like the paintwork, is very thin, because of this, chips and dents appear even from a small pebble flying out from under the wheels of oncoming traffic. The body is weakly resistant to aggressive environmental influences, which is why rust appears on the car body after a couple of years of operation. Corrosion appears most rapidly on the underside of the car (additional treatment with anti-corrosion agents is required) and in places where paint is chipped. Also, traces of rust can be found on: front doors (under the seal), hood and gas tank cap (in the area of ​​the lock). Protective glass foglights often crack when used in cold and damp weather.

Engines

Geely MK was equipped only with gasoline power units- 1.5 (94 HP), 1.6 (107 HP). The most common engine in the CIS is a 1.5 liter unit, which was assembled under license from Toyota (a copy of the 5A-FE engine from). If we talk about its reliability, then, in general, the motor is not bad, but a couple weak points in it, nevertheless, it was revealed. The first thing to look for is the timing belt. According to the regulations, it does not require replacement up to 60,000 km, but, as the operating experience has shown, after 40,000 km cracks appear on it, also, a pair of teeth may not be enough, I think it is not worth explaining what consequences this can lead to. For those who like to carry out repairs in their garage, it is worth considering the fact that to replace the timing belt, you will have to remove the right engine mount.

It is not uncommon for owners to encounter trouble when an unheated engine starts to run through, fortunately, to solve the problem, you can do without a trip to the service - you need to change the spark plugs, high-voltage wires or ignition coils. If these manipulations do not give a positive result, you will have to adjust the valves. To perform this procedure, you should contact an experienced specialist, since incorrect adjustment of the valves can lead to their "clamping" after 40-60 thousand kilometers and with subsequent burnout. Remove high-voltage wires very carefully, as there is a high risk of breaking them.

On cars with mileage over 50,000 km, coolant leaks appear through the throttle heating gasket. If the defect is not eliminated in a timely manner, this can lead to premature failure of the idle speed regulator. The main signal about a malfunction of the regulator will be: difficult start, the engine stalls immediately after setting and starts only when you press the gas pedal. The new regulator will cost $ 20, but you can save a little by installing an analog from the Chevrolet Niva ($ 8-10).

In the warm season, it is necessary to carefully monitor the temperature of the engine, most often the engine overheats when driving for a long time at a speed of 80-100 km per hour with the air conditioner on. The main reason is not turning on the cooling fan, in poor contact at the wiring terminals and the delayed opening of the thermostat. The ability to monitor the temperature of the engine and prevent it from overheating is complicated by the fact that the temperature sensor may provide incorrect data. If you cannot warm up the engine to operating temperature for a long time, the problem is most likely associated with acidification of the thermostat in the open position.

On most copies, on a mileage of 80-120 thousand km, you have to change the cylinder head gasket, the reason is the burnout of the cylinder head gasket. On the same run, a pump replacement is required. The cooling radiator is corroded. A signal of the presence of a problem will be the appearance of red spots in the expansion tank. With the arrival of cold weather, a cooling radiator may begin to flow at the junction of plastic and metal. On a mileage of 80-100 thousand km, it becomes necessary to replace the front crankshaft oil seal (oil leaks appear). Once every 60-80 thousand km, replacement of the oil pressure sensor is required. Slightly less resource (40-60 thousand km) have engine mountings and gearboxes. Many owners blame high fuel consumption, in the combined cycle 8-10 thousand km, and this is much more than the manufacturer promised.

Transmission

Geely MK was equipped with only a five-stage mechanical box gear. The transmission diagnostics must be taken very carefully. The main ailment that owners have to deal with is the fragility of the bearings of the primary and secondary shafts. Most often, owners of cars with a mileage of 50-70 thousand km contact the service with complaints about extraneous noise in the box. You will have to spend 100-150 USD to fix the malfunction. They are not famous for their durability and semiaxis seals, as a rule, oil leaks appear after 30-40 thousand km of run. On a run of 60-70 thousand km, replacement of the clutch master cylinder is required. To save a little, the cylinder can be repaired using a special repair kit. When using low-quality oil, with the onset of cold weather, there are difficulties with gear shifting. With careful operation, the clutch can last 80-100 thousand km (a set of a new clutch with a release bearing will cost $ 40-60).

Features and disadvantages of the Jili MK chassis

On the Geely MK, the suspension is standard for this class of cars: in the front - MacPherson strut, in the back - a beam. As for the reliability of most of the suspension elements, the situation here is not so optimistic. Most often, it is necessary to replace the stabilizer struts, for sloppy drivers they walk less than 10,000 km, with careful operation they can last 15-20 thousand km, bushings up to 40,000 km. Shock absorbers serve 50-60 thousand km, but there are often cases when they had to be changed after 30,000 km, since their price is not too high up to 50 USD. PC. Front wheel bearings, levers and ball joints can please with a mileage of 70-80 thousand km. CV joints are capable of holding up to 100,000 km. In order to be less likely to deal with the repair of the chassis, many owners, when selecting spare parts, prefer interchangeable parts from different models Toyota.

Backlash in the steering rack takes place even on practically new cars, the reason lies in the poor-quality assembly of the unit, fortunately, to eliminate the defect, it is enough to tighten it. The resource of the rail is not much different from a similar part of most Japanese and Korean manufacturers (100-150 thousand km). Buying a new rail will cost 150-250 USD. Steering tips require replacement every 50-60 thousand km, thrust once every 70-80 thousand km. There are problems with braking system, the main one is the corrosion of the brake cylinder piston, which leads to the seizure of the brakes. Also, the rear cylinders require special attention, there have been cases when brake fluid leaks appeared on them.

Salon

The Jili MK salon cannot boast of the quality of assembly and materials, and thanks to the use of hard plastic, crickets here feel at home. If you hear a rattling sound from the steering wheel while driving, it is necessary to check the tightness of the bolts holding the airbag (they are unscrewed over time). During intensive use, the front seats can be wiped clean after a year, taking the heating elements along with them. If you neglect the replacement, everything can end in fire. Due to poor quality gluing windshield and constantly flying off rubber plugs on the bottom, water appears under the mat of the driver and front passenger over time. Also, after heavy rain, a puddle may appear in the trunk, the reason is poor-quality seals for the rear lights and rear shock absorber supports.

As for the electrics, then, most often, unpleasant surprises are presented by the heated rear window, mirrors and the climate system. Many owners complain that the air conditioner cannot cope with its duties even in cool weather. At a run of 80-100 thousand km, freon leaks appear, at the same run the air conditioner compressor can jam. At the most inopportune moment, the stove fan may stop turning on, the reason is the failure of the speed controller relay. After 100,000 km, problems begin with the voltage regulator (repair or replacement of the generator is required), as a result of which the battery stops charging. Due to the failure of the microcircuit of the driver board of the electric motors, the backlight of the instrument panel stops working.

Outcome:

Despite significant progress in the automotive industry, the Chinese auto industry still falls short of the level of Korean and Japanese manufacturers, and Jili MK is no exception. This car cannot be called bad, since the small resource of some parts is justified by the low cost of the car, low cost of repair and maintenance.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you had to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help the readers of our site when choosing a car.
