ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta": technical characteristics and fuel consumption

ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta" - a car on which many begin acquaintance with the automobile world. Someone, having rasprobovav charm of ownership of a personal car, is transplanted to a more comfortable model, and someone does not rush to say goodbye to "Slavuta." Today we will take a closer look at all the remarkable features of this car and its technical characteristics.

Historical reference

The car "Slavuta-1103" in a practical body liftback became the third front-wheel-drive vehicle in the family of the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant. The first model was "Tavria" in the back of the hatchback. It gained real popularity in Ukraine and continued to be produced for 20 years. The second representative of the family was the "Dana" station wagon. He could not repeat the success of his predecessor, and four years after the release of the first copy, the production was stopped. Then there was "Slavuta", which was produced until 2011. It is considered to date the best option of the three listed.

Appearance

Particular beauty of the appearance of the car is no different, so let's talk about its practicality. The first copies of the model were covered with a simple acrylic paint. And somewhere since 2004, "Slavuta" began to paint metallic. Of course, the second option is more preferable. Thanks to a two-layer coating, this paint will last longer to protect the car against corrosion, which can not be said for acrylic. Nevertheless, it is better to cover the machine with an additional anti-corrosion layer. As the reviews show, without this manipulation the body will soon start to rust.

Lighting technology model ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta" also can not please the special wear resistance. After a few years, the headlamp diffuser becomes turbid, and the quality of light falls sharply. Door hinges during the operation of the car are recommended to periodically lubricate, otherwise they will begin to creak aggressively. The motor of the fan, which is located near the windshield under the hood, is not equipped with a filter, so leaves fall into it creating an unpleasant noise when the fan is on. Another disadvantage of the car is that its battery is installed in the engine compartment quite low. In this regard, it is prone to contact with moisture, which leads to oxidation of the terminals.

The "Slavuta" trunk in comparison with "Tavria" is increased by 50 liters. Due to the low boot threshold, it is quite functional.

Interior decoration

The salon also fully corresponds to the class and price of the car. The seats here are frankly small, especially in the back row. Even passengers of medium height will be uncomfortable here. Plastic quickly starts to squeak. And given that there are no new "Slavut" in the current market, it will be extremely difficult to find a car without a squeak. The car is produced in two versions: "Standard" and "Lux". The expensive version of the dashboard has more indicators, and on the center console there is a recess for the radio.

Engine: ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta"

The car is equipped with the same engines as Tavria. Carburetor engines with a capacity of 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 liters were put on the first year of production. Since 2003, only the last two engines have been left in production and equipped them with a distributed injection system. The resource of the 1.1-liter engine reached only 90 thousand km. The remaining units served up to 150 thousand km.

Each type of power supply system of ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta" has its drawbacks. On cars with a carburettor in the summer heat can refuse the fuel pump. If you let it cool down a little, everything will fall into place. In versions with distributed fuel injection, the weak point is the idle speed regulator. It must be cleaned periodically. The fuel pump may fail if there is little fuel in the tank. And he's very noisy. These three problems inherited the following models of ZAZ. Owners of cars with inexpensive HBO are recommended to ride on gasoline at least 300 km out of a thousand. Otherwise, the injectors, the pump and other elements start to be coked, as a result of which the fuel system may become unusable.

The valve cover gasket in all engines often loses its tightness. The timing on all motors does not go more than 60 thousand km, like the tension roller. On the same run, it is recommended to change the generator belt. And every 10 thousand you need to adjust the thermal gaps of the valves.

Transmission

All models of ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta" are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. In general, the transmission of this model has proved to be quite good. On the resource it surpasses the motors. The same gearbox is also used on the Daewoo Sens. He, like "Slavuta", has problems with the inclusion of the first and second gear. The oil seal is often leaking oil, however, as the reviews say, no large losses were noticed. Transmission oil is desirable to change every 50 thousand kilometers. The clutch has a mechanical drive. His cable is often torn, so it is advisable to carry a spare.

Brake system

The machine is equipped with disc brakes in front and drum - rear. Front brakes are an original ZAZ development with a closed-type disc. Time has shown that the mechanism is not entirely successful. Disks are often deformed and fail at the third ten thousand miles. The main brake cylinder is also not reliable - after 40 thousand km it loses its tightness. The cable of a lay brake quickly enough extends. Brake hoses should be checked for cracks every three years.

Steering and Suspension

Rack-and-pinion steering maintains no more than 60 thousand km. It makes itself felt by the backlash, which appears due to the wear of the pair of rake / gear. The steering tips have approximately the same service life. This node is inexpensive, so it's easier to replace it than to repair it. The chassis of the car ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta", the technical characteristics of which we are discussing today, are quite tough, but energy-intensive. Ahead is an independent suspension of the MacPherson type, and at the rear is a half-independent beam. Due to the lack of anti-roll bars on sharp turns, the car heels noticeably.

Among the weak points of the suspension can be identified the rear hub bearings and ball bearings. On our beautiful roads they serve no more than 40 thousand kilometers. As for the front bearings, they go a little longer. And the front silent blocks and rear rubber bands are generally considered long-lived, because they serve up to 150 thousand km.

On the road

Seeing angular "Slavuta" with its ascetic salon, you can forget about aesthetics. A car is a means of transportation, not a luxury. Surely this phrase came up at one of the domestic automobile plants. Sitting behind the wheel, we have to forget about another concept - "ergonomics". The driver's seat is not comfortable, and because of the small side mirrors, the review leaves much to be desired.

Turning the motor key, you can be pleasantly surprised by how quickly it wound up. And the frost will not be worse. The dynamics of acceleration for a small car is also quite good. By the way, "Slavuta" accelerates better than "Sens", because they have similar motors, but a significant difference in weight. Only now, after driving up to 80 km / h on the "Slavuta", one might think that the speedometer shows all 120: the engine roars, and the salon recalls the car's belonging to the budget class. In the "Sense" the situation is somewhat more pleasant, because the Korean people put their hand to it. However, to talk about some driver characteristics and comfortable driving does not make sense, given the cost of the model ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta".

The fuel consumption of the car is very moderate: from 7 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, and 5-7 liters on the highway.

The price of independence

The automobile ZAZ "Slavuta", like the rest of CIS production vehicles, suffers from poor quality of components, which leads to frequent breakdowns. The low price of the car partly compensates for this problem. However, if you replace the failed parts with imported analogs, you can increase its reliability.

"Slavuta" is a cheap unpretentious car that will suit those who only learn driving skills, or those who can not yet afford a more expensive car, but do not want to become attached to public transport. Depending on the year of release and condition, the car can cost in the secondary market from 1.5 to 3.5 thousand dollars.

ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta": reviews

Based on the feedback of the owners, we note the main advantages and disadvantages of the machine. So, the strengths of Slavuta:

  1. Availability of parts and service.
  2. High maintainability.
  3. Large trunk and low loading threshold.
  4. Long-lasting silent blocks and gearbox.

Weak sides:

  5. Failure of fuel pump, no-load sensor, carburettor and ignition coil.
  6. Deformation of brake discs.
  7. Short-lived rear wheel bearings and ball bearings.

Alternative

An alternative to "Slavuta" is the popular VAZ "Seven". This car is a long-liver, because it was produced for 28 years. Despite the fact that the design of the model has long been obsolete, due to its simplicity, the machine is reliable and durable. That's why so many drivers at the time chose it. Well, the price, of course, plays a role here. Today, the "seven" in the secondary market costs from 800 to 3000 dollars. It all depends on the year of release and condition.

In comparison with the ZAZ-1103 "Slavuta", whose photo looks more advantageous, the "Seven" has a more spacious interior, greater payload and, most importantly, a smoother ride. However, the practicality of the latest model of "classics" is slightly inferior to "Slavuta". It does not have the ability to fold the backs of the rear seats, and the loading threshold of the trunk is much higher. "Seven" is equipped with three petrol engines. The first has a volume of 1.3 liters and develops 69 liters. S., The second and third are the same in volume - 1.5 liters, but differ in power: 71 and 74 horsepower.

Conclusion
