Agila Njoy(HOO N68) Last Wave: Repair Part 2

  1
 September 18, 2024
A few years ago, the car took many motorized roads in the countryside, which not only bent the bottom edge, but also affected the middle and rear part of the exhaust pipe. I don’t know which shop to weld flanges in the repair shop.But.

Look at the workmanship

Look at the material.


No wonder you don’t miss it.

It’s over with the bellows.

It’s over.

At that time, it was not cost-effective to change the new tube. The middle and back sections totaled more than 1,000 yuan. I. D.I.Y, try it.

Bought leak plugging glue for exhaust pipe.

Bought a pipe hoop

Remove rust with a wire brush

Apply plugging glue, cover with stainless steel net and tighten with pipe hoop


It turns out thatNo eggs.It leaked again a few days later.. The repair shop asked someone to weld a section, and the front end plugged up the leak.

Backend:

Taking advantage of Singles Day holiday, we got hydraulic Jack and Jack bracket.

However, this Jack does not lift high enough.

After lifting the vehicle into the bracket, you have to continue to lift it with a scissors Jack.

Enter the first gear + brick block

Lift the towing arm with a Jack to increase the space for manual operation as much as possible



The situation is worrying.





Try D.I.Y.

Round 1Only use plugging glue








It’s no use, it’s still leaking.

Round 2First use AB glue, then use leak plugging glue.

In order to prevent the “spilling” of dry glue, a “condom” was used to D.I.Y a can.


Put it on, first fix it with nylon tie, then change to stainless steel pipe hoop after the glue is dried.

A 568ml can is just used up. The rest of the material is shown below.

Round3:

Merge with eggs as usualIn the end, I spent 700 to 800 yuan on a new exhaust pipe.


Pre-installed, the glue at the end of the suspension is almost broken, or almost.

The new exhaust is about 9 cm shorter than the old one.

Solution: find a modified exhaust shop, cut an old exhaust pipe and weld it at the back of the new middle section.


Fixed with pipe hoop + spot welding. Look at the weld is acceptable, this fixation is a bit hasty, the current 900C-1000rpm has a little resonanceI’m not sure where it came from.. Compared with the old exhaust, the resonance of the new exhaust is more obvious.

The gray material in the welding part is buckled and very hard. I don’t know if it is a special glue for the exhaust pipe.

It looks like “brand goods”.


The ball end of the hem arm (also called “lower arm” or “lower limb arm”). The vehicle was difficult to walk in a straight line, and the stagnant water in the beach was almost out of control on a rainy day..

The shock absorber also failed, and the domestic parts were replaced together.

The domestic “deputy factory” parts are not completely consistent with the original parts. When doing four-wheel positioning, the eccentric screw was replaced.

Eccentric screw, 80 yuan per piece, feel…


The fixed positioning rubber sleeve of the front anti-tilting rod is aging and has been replaced with a new one. However, this new rubber sleeve is too soft to hold the anti-tipping rod, and the anti-tilting rod will twist freely and swing left and right to a small extent inside. The phenomenon is that the direction is unstable when turning, and it is necessary to constantly adjust the steering wheel to maintain the driving line, as well as straight line driving.. As a result, the repair technician used scissors to cut a section of the replacement of the vehicle water pipe cushion between the rubber sleeve and the anti-tipping rod, this phenomenon obviously weakened.

The dimmer switch is disobedient, and it will turn into distant light if it is slightly bumpy. Dial the dimmer rod every time you use the headlamp to prevent it from turning into faraway light.
Disassemble the dimming control, which is caused by excessive wear and tear of the plastic parts pointed out by the arrow below. There is a spring under the copper sheet installed with this plastic piece (pictured below). The overtaking light (commonly known as “flash”) is controlled by limiting the travel of the spring. after excessive wear, the actual travel of the spring becomes longer. the gap between the two contacts is reduced, a little bumpy, the contacts will touch each other, so they will change light by themselves.

Solution: insert a piece of plastic into the place pointed to by the yellow arrow. I cut a small piece of plastic for the closing of the bread bag and fixed it with glue. I won’t be far away by myself now.

Someone said, why not get a new one?In other cars, such as the GM series)? It’s not expensive!
Yes, it’s not expensive, but if you take a closer look at those on TB, no matter which store they are, they all sell “three nothing products” engraved in the same mold. You don’t believe me? Take a closer look at the photos of the seller on the web page.

Bored, suddenly want to fiddle with the accelerator pedal

Loosen the screw

It’s clean. It’s not dirty.

Now that it’s taken apart, just gently wipe the contacts with an eraser. Remember, it must be light, and the rubber shavings are clean.


There’s nothing to worry about. Put it back.
Start to turn to the inner ball head (inner pull rod) and find a lot of time. Not to mention the price, one is the “original factory parts”, the price has no reference value, and the other is the “clearance price”, which also has no reference value.


Turn to the outer ball head (outer pull rod), the quality of this brand is average, half a month after loading, the dustproof sleeve seal will fall offThe oil will leak soon, and then it will have to be changed again.

Damage of half shaft dustproof sleeve

Bought a GKN, said it is the original factory supply brand, I do not know whether it is true or not

Touch it. This glue is a little hard. I don’t know how long it will last.

Replace


Judging from the accessories in the box, either the parts between different versions of Agila are not completely universal, or non-original parts were used in previous repairs.

When the oil pressure light is on, the detector shows that the oil pressure is on the low side. There is oil on the floor. Take a closer look at the oil dripping from the oil pressure sensor.

If you can’t wipe it clean, it’s just a leak.

The plug is full of oil.

Start up, and soon the oil will flow out, well, it’s “flowing out”.

It is commonly known as “wearing”.

The new oil pressure sensor has arrived, this D.I.Y can be replaced easily.

After tightening it with your hands, you can gently take it with a wrench without having to play with your life.

The roof luggage rack has been useless for so many years, just don’t install it.

Pry open the fairing

Eight screws, just a little twist, the locking torque of the original factory is not large.

After dismantling, you still have to do the cleaning work.

Luggage rack, 2.6 kg, plastic material

Clean the hub cover of the original factory

Dismantle the Zeppelin airship mark


The logo and the front and back of the hubcap should be cleaned.




Cleaning is complete.

Load the car to see the effect

After changing back to the original factory wheel, I felt that the start was not so light, so I weighed the wheel.

Original seven-spoke aluminum wheel

Wheel + tire 14.3 kg, only one wheel is about 7.5 kg

After the replacement of 14 * 5.5J five-spoke aluminum wheels, this set of wheels has also been used for more than a decade.

The wheel + tire 12.9 kg, the tire is the same, the wheel is lighter about 1.4 kg

The lightest is it.

The “original” steel 1404.5J wheel exists as a spare wheel for loading.

Wheel + tire 11.5 kg, tire is the same, 2.8 kg lighter than the original aluminum wheel!

The copilot seat and rear seat have also been completely removed, resulting in a total weight loss of about 51.3 kg.

Where:

1. The copilot seat is about 19.9 kg.

2. Four-fold/six-fold rear seats,”FourportionAbout 13 kilograms,”sixPart is about 18.4 kg;

3. Fixed screws, seat belt buckles, etc. are calculated by 2 kilograms

However, after losing weight, the car jumped too much and was uncomfortable, so the seat was put back on again.

After cleaning the vehicle, it was waxed and polished, but it had not been waxed for a long time

It has been seventeen years since it was factory.Seventeen years, I’m almost an adult to have a baby




The traces of seventeen years


Current status.


At present, some wearing parts and consumables have been prepared, and we are ready to continue operating like this. Until the Communist Party stopped me from driving. I will leave this car at home as a souvenir.
