In the modern technological world, the repair of various components and assemblies is becoming increasingly popular. The bulkhead of the engine is a rather complicated process, which, besides the skill, also requires a good theoretical preparation. In order to quickly and effectively eliminate the breakdown, it is necessary to carry out a thorough analysis and assessment of the condition of the unit, and here, of course, you can not do without diagnostics.
It is the very first stage, before the engine starts to be re-assembled. Its price is low, it depends on the brand of your car. The whole procedure is carried out using a special scanner that connects to the on-board computer of the car and allows you to see not only the general characteristics, but also the errors that occurred during the operation of the engine. Only after that they establish the concrete cause of the breakdown, and the engine bulkhead begins. However, it should be noted that such diagnostics will not show little defects or future breakdown. The engine bulkhead of VAZ models rarely includes diagnostics, since the on-board computer is completely absent on some of them. In this case, the complete dismantling of the unit is carried out, after which the defective parts are revealed and eliminated, which is recorded in a special document.
Standard diagnostics, before the engine bulkhead starts, includes:
- Compression measurement in each cylinder;
- Exhaust gas and technical fluids are being studied;
- The general technical condition of all units, parts and aggregates of vehicles is checked;
- The pressure level in the cooling and lubrication systems is determined;
- Check for foreign sounds.
After the diagnosis Osty make up a budget for the parts and installation work. If the customer agrees, then the engine bulkhead begins. It is important to note that every detail included in the estimate should be discussed with the client individually, should explain the expediency of this replacement and obtain permission from the client for this operation. The full cycle from acceptance of the car to the service station before issuance to the owner of the professionals takes from 3 to 5 days. Of course, there are cases when the cost of work and the number of parts increases with complete disassembly. This is normal practice, because some machines are not yet so computerized to show breakage of some small parts or their heavy wear. Know that in this case you should also be notified before the repair begins, to voice the cost of the part and work. If the account for the engine bulkhead turned out to be higher than the previously declared cost, then you have the right to demand evidence of the expediency of these actions, as well as the provision of old parts that have been replaced with new ones.
Never save on such repairs, choose tested and specialized centers. For a 10-15% overpaid, you will not only get a qualified service, but also significantly increase the life of the engine of your car, and do not rise again for repairs after several thousand kilometers.
