TO-2: list of works for the car and their frequency

As everyone knows, any vehicle requires periodic maintenance. The procedure when contacting an authorized dealer guarantees a high quality of work, although it can cost more than other car-care centers. Let us consider in more detail what the TO-2 is, the list of works it includes, the difference from the TO-1 and other features.

general information

When passing a technical inspection, regulated, control and inspection work is carried out, including diagnostics and adjusting manipulations of the vehicle's units on special stands. The entire list of works of TO-2 is aimed at checking the main components of the vehicle. In addition, the operation involves examining the condition of the machine and performing a number of additional manipulations. For example, it can be an oil change or a filter. Carrying out such operations does not take much time, but allows you to add reliability to your car.

TO-2 "Kia Rio"

The list of works for this machine includes the following:

• Replacement of engine oil and oil filter.
• Lubrication of the elements of doors, trunk and bonnet.
• Updating the brake fluid.
• Checking the exhaust gas bleeding system.
• Prevention of the attachment of the air filter, drive system, gearbox.
• Control of steering, tire pressure, lighting system, air conditioner, belt drive additional nodes.
• Cleaning the flow-through filter and drainage body holes.

There is a TO-2 "Kia Rio", the list of works on which is indicated above, after a run of 30 thousand kilometers.

Volkswagen Polo

The regulation is relevant for all cars of this brand, produced since 2010. The situation concerns models with a 1.6-liter motor equipped with a manual or automatic transmission. The manufacturer advises to pass the inspection exclusively in the service center. If you decide to perform the operation yourself, carefully read the instruction manual.

It can be noted that the oil in the gearbox is filled with the calculation of the entire working period and can not be replaced. Verification of its level should be carried out every 30 thousand kilometers (mechanical transmission) or 60 thousand with a box-machine.

Below is a list of the works of the TO-2 Polo Sedan:

• Change of oil, filter and salon analogue.
• Control of ventilation systems, connecting hoses, cooling unit.
• Check of fuel lines and connecting elements.
• Prevention of suspension and fasteners.
• Check the condition of tire pressure and wheel angle.
• In addition, the battery, parking brake, light elements, spark plugs, drain holes and closing parts are inspected.

Additionally, the list of works of the TO-2 Polo Sedan includes the replacement of the air filter element, the brake fluid, the checking of the drive belt of the hinged and additional components. An inspection is carried out every 30,000 kilometers or two years after operation.

Hyundai

The second period of inspection at this car is made through 30 thousand kilometers of run. Oil is being replaced, as well as a number of other operations:

• Control of the main components, including the braking system and the transmission.
• Diagnosis of valves and engine.
• Replacing fuel and oil filter.
• Check belt drives.
• Monitoring the status and quantity of refrigerant.

Manufacturers recommend to carry out TO-2 "Solaris", a list of works which is indicated above, at branded stations. It is worth noting the basic verification codes. Among them: I (checking nodes, parts and consumable components), R (replacement of required elements).

Useful information

The next technical maintenance of any car is desirable to be carried out in authorized or partner service centers. At the cost it does not particularly affect, but you get a guarantee for the work performed. In reality, you can be serviced at any service station, but in this case, if there are any disputable issues, the dealer will have to prove the quality of the performed work.

When is it necessary to do TO-1? For example, TO-2 is carried out after 30 thousand kilometers or 2 years of using the vehicle (concerns most cars). Consequently, the first inspection should be carried out a year earlier, or after 15 thousand runs. If the vehicle has traveled less than 15,000 km per year, it is also advisable to inspect it, in order to avoid serious breakdowns and failure of key parts.

In addition, the owners must periodically check the level of brake fluid, oil, antifreeze, tire pressure and other safety-related moments independently.

TO-2 "Skoda": the list of works

For this car, this process is similar to other machines of a similar class. The following operations are carried out at the service station:

• Replacement of inhibitory reagent.
• Change of the atmospheric filter at run over 60 thousand kilometers for 24 months.
• Checking the condition of the tires.
• Control and lubrication of active elements of doors, bonnet and trunk.
• Replacing the oil filter. If the mileage exceeds 60 thousand km for gasoline and 100 thousand kilometers for diesel power plants.
• Check of spark plugs.
• Diagnosis of the level of other working fluids, the state of the battery and seat belts.

Timing

TO-1, TO-2, the list of works and periodicity of which vary, require special attention of owners. Manufacturers recommend to pass the first inspection no later than one year after the operation of the machine or raid of 15 thousand kilometers. The second check should be made two years after the purchase of the vehicle or after reaching 30 thousand kilometers of mileage.

Specific definition of the timing of the technical inspection depends on the personal way of driving and the conditions of the car. For example, riding a short distance does not affect the wear of parts as much as moving over long distances at maximum loads. It is important to know that the brake fluid in any case should be updated at least once every two years. If this moment is ignored, the brake unit may fail, which is fraught with the emergence of an emergency road situation.

Notes

TO-2 car, the list of works which is indicated above, requires compliance with certain rules specified by the manufacturer. For information on the type of oil used, refer to the operating instructions. The recommended grade and kind of this oil product is also listed there. When performing a technical inspection, special attention must be paid to replacing not only the oil, but also its filter element.

In addition, it is worth checking the thickness of the brake linings. Especially if the car was used with extreme driving style. It is also desirable to check the reset of the service interval indicator and the compliance of the condensate drain from the fuel and air filter.

Lada

In T0-2 "Kaliny" the list of works consists of the following operations:

• Inspection and inspection work to identify malfunctions in the fuel, braking and driving systems.
• Preventive regulated processes.
• Diagnosis and adjustment of the main components of the car.
• Check of working capacity of brake elements.
• Replacement and refilling of oil and brake fluid.

Features

For the domestic car "Lada Kalina" TO-2, the list of works on which is indicated above, plays an important role, given the condition of roads and the way of operation. Maintenance, according to the established regulations, allows you to extend the working life of the units of the car and ensure the safety of movement. Many elementary works are available to conduct independently, following the recommendations specified in the manual.

The frequency of the technical verification for the "Lada Kalina" is provided every 15 thousand kilometers. For a foreign sedan Volkswagen Polo, TO-2 (the list of works) is almost identical, except for checking different types of engines and gearboxes. The average cost of inspection at the company's service station for a public car is about seven and a half thousand rubles. In addition, you will have to spend money on consumables, if necessary.

Choice and replacement of oil

All cars with a variable periodicity of passing the inspection in the factory are filled with a special engine oil. Let's consider features on an example of auto "Skoda". This indicator has the following positions:

• For gasoline engine power units - VW-503.
• For diesel engines with particulate filtration - VW-506 01.
• For other engines - VW-507 00.

Using these types of oil allows you to ensure the most correct use of the vehicle, as well as reduce costs when passing maintenance.

If the factory oil supply is not enough, it is replaced once a year or when the mileage is set at 15 thousand kilometers. For correct operation of all systems, it will be necessary to convert the machine to a specific period of service inspection. Details can be obtained from the representative of the official service station. The manufacturer recommends in any case to change the engine oil every 15 thousand kilometers, to carry out a second inspection after two years of operation or a 30,000-pound raid. The brake fluid must be renewed every couple of years.

If the car is equipped with a diesel power unit with an increased sulfur content, the period of oil change is reduced to seven and a half thousand kilometers of mileage, which is due to the design features of the engine.

Other types of maintenance

Depending on the age of the car and the distance covered by the path, not only mandatory TO-1, 2, 3, the list of works of which will be considered further, but also subsequent inspections, up to the tenth inspection.

The first inspection provides for work on the replacement of fuels and lubricants and processing of fixing elements. The following manipulations can also be performed:

• Replacing the oil filter kit.
• Lubrication of transmission parts.
• Checking the exhaust, braking, steering system.
• Steering control.
• Measuring tire pressure.
• Checking the lights and battery.
• Implies a small amount of work to replace fuel and components, as well as lubrication of components.
  

Also, the inspection includes cleaning the drainage holes in the housing, replacing the brake fluid, identifying possible factory defects.

The parameters of the second maintenance were discussed above. Next, we will study the features of subsequent operations in terms of time and capabilities.

Inspection period for kilometers

The Volkswagen (TO-2, list of works listed in the article) requires regular follow-up checks, like most types of vehicles. Among the technical inspections we note the following:

• TO-3 is carried out after 45 thousand kilometers of run, includes the work, typical for the first inspection.
• TO-4 is carried out after four years of operation of the car or 60 thousand kilometers of run. The inspection includes the work foreseen for the first and second inspection, as well as replacement of the spark plugs, checking the condition of the chain or belt timing mechanism, checking the tensioner and the oil pump device.
• TO-5 - the analog of the first maintenance, is carried out after 75 thousand km of run.
• TO-6 - after 90 thousand km, works similar to TO-1 and 2 are performed.
• TO-7, 8, 9, 10 are produced after 105, 120, 135 and 150 thousand kilometers, respectively.

Adjustment for the life of the car

As experts advise, the replacement of the refrigerant should be carried out at least once every 3-5 years. In the process, the coolant is completely replaced or replenished to the desired level. For example, cars "Volkswagen Polo" are filled with purple refrigerant such as G-12 Plus. The liquid can be mixed with the analogues G-12 and G-1. When mixing solutions, the proportion 1/1 is observed. The total volume of the system is about six liters.

As stated in the official car service regulations, the oil in the gearbox is designed for the entire life of the vehicle. When performing maintenance, only its level is monitored, and the next inspection period should not exceed 30,000 kilometers for the mechanical box and 60,000 for the automatic transmission.

Two liters of transmission oil type SAE 75W-85 (API GL-4) can be accommodated in the manual unit, and about seven liters of the synthetic analogue of the brand ATF (G055025A2) can be placed in the automatic machine.

Finally

Technical inspection of the vehicle is a guarantee of road safety on the road. The machine must be carefully checked every time before leaving to service the brakes, the integrity of the pipes and hoses, the tire pressure gauge. In addition, you should undergo a professional car inspection, which is carried out at the service station. For most "cars" it is carried out after every 15 thousand kilometers of run or 1-2 years of operation.

In addition to the technical condition, do not forget about the purity of the "iron horse". This improves not only the aesthetic appearance, but also helps to protect the body from corrosion and deformation. It is necessary to monitor the level of working fillers of the car, including oil, brake and cooling liquid, in a timely manner. Following the recommendations and guidance of the operating manual, you can not only extend the working life of the machine, but also to protect yourself and other road users.
