domestic manufacturer car is committed to producing models that will meet current trends and safety standards. The equipment of the machines makes it comfortable to travel on them even over rough terrain. Special formulations, which are applied to the body, reliably protect it from damage and corrosion.
The machine has a reinforced running system and engine, thanks to which it can withstand significant loads. UAZ Hunter diesel has a powerful engine manufactured by ZMZ, so it copes well with the transportation of massive cargo.
Advantages of UAZ Hunter
Unlike most domestic cars, Hunter takes into account all previous shortcomings, making the car a success with motorists. Among the advantages it is worth noting:
- Comfortable salon. Soft seats are comfortable to use, and a special coating is easily cleaned from various contaminants. The plastic that is inside the cabin is resistant to fading and cracking. The material of the steering wheel and gear lever is pleasant to the touch and retains its original state throughout the entire period of operation.
- economical engine. New model engine, which is installed on the UAZ Hunter, is more economical and environmentally friendly. Compared to gasoline models, the diesel engine saves 2-3 liters of fuel less for every hundred kilometers. In the process of movement for the motor, there is practically no difference what mass the car transports.
- Advanced transmission. More durable parts guarantee the reliability of the mechanisms and their work in all conditions. All-wheel drive guarantees good traction, and also provides high cross-country ability in mud, sand and other difficult soils.
- Improved Suspension. The spring suspension is equipped with stabilizers. The car is comfortable to drive even over bumps and large stones. According to the owners, the new suspension, combined with high ground clearance, is great option for hunting or winter fishing trips.
- Capacity. The spacious trunk allows you to place a large amount of cargo in it. The load capacity declared by the manufacturer is 675 kilograms.
The machine is multifunctional and will perfectly cope with various tasks. The power of the diesel engine allows you to successfully use the car as a tug. The capacity of the car provides comfortable transportation of people in difficult climatic conditions. The all-terrain vehicle is amazing and makes it indispensable in remote regions of Russia.
The car has 5 doors, 5 main and 2 extra seats. The mass of the car without passengers and cargo is 1890 kilograms. The dimensions of the car are 4100x2010x2025 cm. Due to its compact size, the car is convenient for moving around the city and in dense forests. The minimum turning radius is 8.6 meters.
The machine is equipped with a 2.2 liter turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by ZMZ. The sixteen-valve 4-cylinder engine has good wear resistance and maintains its performance for a long time. Engine power is 114 Horse power, but maximum speed, which the car can develop, is equal to 135 kilometers per hour. The engine consumes only 10.1 liters of fuel in city mode, which makes it very economical. The car has two fuel tanks, each of which is equal to 39 liters.
The ground clearance of the UAZ Hunter diesel is 21 cm. Tires with parameters R16 225/75 are installed on the wheels. Five-speed box transmission provides convenient control and speed control. dependent suspension with telescopic shock absorbers provides a comfortable ride in all conditions.
Price
A car in the basic configuration costs about 560 thousand rubles. For its segment, the price of the car is more than pleasant. A car, in comparison with similar models of foreign production, has a cost 2-3 times lower, but at the same time it is practically not inferior in quality. Since the series diesel cars was limited in production, it is quite difficult to find spare parts for the fuel system. The car is usually equipped fog lights, power steering, headlight range control and other options that make driving and driving a car more comfortable.
The cost of UAZ Hunter diesel cars for secondary market varies greatly. This is due to the features of operation, as well as the technical condition of the machine. If the car was used occasionally for hunting trips, fishing or just nature, then its cost can reach 500 thousand rubles. Most often, cars at this price have traveled no more than 10,000 kilometers. Cars that have a mileage of over 50 thousand km usually cost between 250-350 thousand rubles. Prices in the secondary market are constantly changing, so the real cost of a car can only be said in the cabin.
maintainability
It is believed that it is easy enough to find spare parts for any UAZ, but in the case of Hunter, this is far from the case. Details have custom sizes, so it is quite difficult to find them in the public domain. Most of the spare parts are made to order, so car repairs may take a little longer than standard UAZs.
Since the machine has many components and assemblies, its repair must be carried out by people who have special skills. The easiest way is to contact a service center, but not all car owners of a domestic car can afford it. If it is not possible to perform service maintenance in specialized salons, then you should not neglect the carrying out of planned work on your own. It is mandatory to change the fuel and air filters, belts and other spare parts in accordance with the regulations. Untimely replacement may cause more serious damage.
Owner reviews
The owners note that the car is really almost an all-terrain vehicle, but at the same time it has a high consumption. Although the manufacturer indicates the consumption in the city within 10.1 liters per 100 km, but real consumption differs in a big way. On the highway, the car really consumes about 10 liters per 100 km, but in the city it “eats” at least 13. When operating in difficult conditions or in winter, consumption can rise to 15 liters per hundred kilometers. Breakdowns, as in any UAZ, are quite common. Sometimes it may be necessary to rebuild individual nodes.
To the surprise of most car owners, the engine correct operation not subject to sudden breakdowns. Timely oil change, use quality fuel and timely troubleshooting fuel system will allow the motor to serve more than 200 thousand kilometers. The use of high-quality rubber in combination with the technical characteristics of the car allows the driver to feel good even on an icy road.
Frequent breakdowns and characteristic flaws
One of the most common faults is a broken starter. Since it is quite difficult to find components for it, it is more expedient to produce it complete replacement. Also one of weaknesses is soundproofing.
Some car owners note the insufficient operation of the stove. With a strong minus, it can be cold in the cabin, therefore, when operating in the northern regions, it makes sense to install additional heaters.
Elegant Hunter
As you know, off-road vehicles are designed to overcome difficult terrain. They must have certain advantages that will allow them to move in difficult off-road conditions. In order for a car to confidently overcome depressions, it needs powerful engine and all-wheel drive.
Of course, with such requirements, fuel consumption increases. Not all off-road enthusiasts are ready to constantly spend money on gasoline. Therefore, the domestic auto industry began to produce UAZ Hunter diesel SUVs.
What is a diesel UAZ
UAZ Hunter is the heir to the time-tested UAZ 469, which is still popular among motorists to this day. This was the main reason for the start of production of Hunter. The car cannot boast of a prestigious design, but its specifications provide high sales.
Hunter with a diesel engine has absorbed everything best qualities his predecessor. At the same time, several improvements were made to the design of the SUV, which made it possible to increase its quality at times. For example, the door locking mechanism has been modernized, now they close quite simply and without unnecessary noise. The body was covered with expensive enamel, which gives the SUV a modern look.
In order to improve ground clearance raised the footrest of the car and narrowed the doorway. This slightly affected general comfort, since getting into the cab has become less convenient. The seats have become more anatomical, this has increased the spaciousness of the cabin. Now you can place additional seats at the back, and luggage compartment equip with a hinged door, as on modern SUVs.
Hunter has no shortcomings of the 469 model, among which were the unsuccessful gearbox design and low engine power. The upgraded diesel SUV has the following advantages:
- the interior has become more convenient and comfortable;
- significantly reduced fuel consumption;
- engine and transmission upgraded;
- improved suspension design scheme;
- increased cabin volume and load capacity.
Diesel engine makes the car more maneuverable
Owner reviews indicate that the car has become multifunctional. It can be used not only in off-road conditions, but also as a family car for outdoor trips.
Numerous reviews of the SUV have confirmed that it has a 5-speed mechanical box transmissions from Hyundai Dymos. The gearbox of this manufacturer is of high quality, significantly superior to the characteristics of the domestic counterpart.
Advantages of a diesel engine over a gasoline engine
When deciding on the type of engine - diesel or gasoline, it is necessary to take into account the differences between them.
The gasoline Hunter is equipped with a 4-cylinder 16-valve motor ZMZ-409 with a capacity of 128 liters. from. and a volume of 2.7 liters. The manufacturer recommends refueling the engine with AI-92 gasoline. Fuel consumption is 13.2 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. The SUV has a top speed of 130 km/h.
The diesel Hunter is equipped with a 4-cylinder 16-valve ZMZ-514 engine with a capacity of 114 hp. from. and a volume of 2.2 liters. The average fuel consumption per 100 km is only 10.5 liters. UAZ is capable of accelerating to 120 km / h, developing a torque that reaches 270 Nm.
Based on this, we can confidently say that a diesel engine allows you to save not only on the purchase of a cheaper type of fuel, but also on its consumption. At the same time, the maximum speed of the ZMZ-514 is slightly inferior to the speed of the ZMZ-409. The price of an economical SUV exceeds the cost of a gasoline Hunter by 50 thousand rubles. Savings on gasoline will pay off the overpayment after 20 thousand kilometers.
Diesel engine adds auto power
During operation diesel engine does not respond to the load of the car with passengers. The results of the test drive showed that the economical engine does not overheat both when driving on an asphalt surface and when overcoming heavy off-road conditions. When using a gasoline engine, this problem is still present.
Did the creators of the UAZ 469 think that their car would become a legend in the Soviet car industry? Most likely, they are unlikely, because when creating the Soviet all-terrain vehicle, the developers thought about high cross-country ability, maintainability, low cost, simplicity of design and reliability, and what place their car would take in history was not so important, the main thing is that the car meets the needs of the army as much as possible. Still UAZ is one of the symbols Soviet Union and thanks to the efforts of designers, one of the best in terms of cross-country serial all-terrain vehicles in the world. The production of the UAZ 469 was started back in 1972, in 2003 the production of a modernized UAZ began at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Assembly Plant, the car was named Hunter , which translates from English as a hunter. AssemblyUAZ Hunter carried out not only in Ulyanovsk, but also in the Ukrainian city - Kremenchug. In this article, we will pay attention to the innovations of Ulyanovsk that were implemented in the Hunter, we will pay attention to the technical characteristics UAZ Hunter , as well as general overview body and interior.
Appearance and body:
Like UAZ 469, UAZ Hunter is available in a five-door body, the roof can be hard - metal, or soft - awning. UAZ Hunter can be easily distinguished from the 469th model by plastic bumpers with built-in foglights. The front is decorated with a plastic overlay, please note 
attention to the photo of the front of the UAZ.
When reviewing the UAZ from behind, you will find that spare wheel in Hunter it is mounted on the fifth door, and the tailgate itself is now one and, unlike the 469th, the door is one-piece and opens to the side, and does not consist of two parts. Due to the above-described plastic bumpers that UAZ installed in order to reduce the likelihood of a pedestrian getting injured when hit, and also because of a modified exhaust system entry and exit angles have been significantly reduced. Injection 
entry UAZ Hunter is - 30 degrees, and the departure angle is 33 degrees, which is less than that of latest generation. New UAZ stands on wheels with a larger diameter than its predecessor, UAZ tire size Hunter - 225/75 R16. The hunter can be retrofitted upon purchase alloy wheels, and the future owner can buy a UAZ painted in metallic, previously it was something from the category of science fiction.
Salon and Equipment:
How to get into the salon UAZ- This is not an easy task for everyone. The body remained the same, and, accordingly, the narrow doorways did not become wider. When landing behind the wheel, you can grab onto the steering wheel itself, and when seated in the front passenger seat, you can take on a special 
handle located in the torpedo. UAZ instrument cluster Hunter in general, it has not changed, but the torpedo now has a plastic sheathing, the plastic is hard and cheap, but this is a significant step towards increasing comfort. Appearance torpedoes you can evaluate in the photo. Reading the speedometer readings, as before, is not convenient, the fact is that the right steering wheel spoke almost always overlaps the speedometer. On UAZ Huntera cigarette lighter appeared, which was not on the 469th, it would be nice to have an ashtray, but the men driving such an all-terrain vehicle will be able to do without it. Swivel windows, as on the model 469, are also a thing of the past, now side windows shift to the side. The downside is that in winter, when the guides can leak with melt water and freeze, one day the glass may not open. Why open glass in winter? Suppose the stove broke, the windows fogged up and began to freeze - visibility is deteriorating, in a car like UAZ, which is designed for extreme conditions, the issue of interior ventilation is extremely important. The downside in comparison with the 469th is also the fact that the glass in the tailgate has become smaller, which means that rear visibility has deteriorated, but there is a janitor on the same glass. A huge ergonomic breakthrough was the appearance of a single lever to control the transfer case and turn on all-wheel drive earlier in the UAZ 469 there were two levers. However, before moving the transfer lever to the all-wheel drive position from the Russian all-terrain vehicle, as before, you need to get out and manually turn the clutches in the front wheels. The steering wheel in the UAZ has no adjustments at all, but the driver's seat is adjustable not only in standard planes: the backrest angle and longitudinal adjustment, but the degree of lumbar support can also be adjusted. UAZ brake pedalHunter is 8 cm higher than the gas pedal, in general, the driver who sat in UAZ after a passenger car, it will not be too easy to figure out the controls. What is the scheme for switching the old Arzamasovskaya gearbox, in which the rear one is switched on like on a normal car, the second one - this scheme is very convenient on difficult off-road conditions, when you need to quickly switch from first to rear and vice versa to loosen the car, but if on the go insteadthe second turn on the back - the sound will not be pleasant. The headlight hydrocorrector allows you to adjust the beam of headlights from the passenger compartment, it is very convenient when the trunk is loaded and the front part rises, while the headlights blind oncoming cars. A positive shift can be considered the ability to adjust the angle of the backrest rear seats, as well as the ability to quickly dismantle the second row. If desired, the future owner can buy a Hunter with two additional seats located on the sides in the trunk. Payload UAZ Hunter - 750kg. UAZ trunk volume - 210 liters.
Technical part and characteristics of UAZ Hunter
Today on UAZ Hunter a ZMZ 409 gasoline engine is installed and diesel ZMZ 5143. ZMZ 409 is equipped with fuel injection, the UAZ engine capacity is 2.7 liters. The sixteen-valve cylinder head helps develop a maximum of 128 horsepower, maximum torque of 216N.M is achieved at 3000 rpm. With such an engine, UAZ is able to develop 130 kilometers per hour on the highway. Previously, a 2.5-liter carburetor gasoline engine was available,the UAZ carburetor unit produces 189N.M of torque, the maximum torque is available at 2500 rpm, the power of the carburetor unit is modest - 84 horsepower. The ZMZ 5143 diesel engine is good because at idle, even uphill UAZ rises without pressing the gas pedal, in general, diesel UAZ less fast, but the difference in driving on an empty and loaded car is not felt as much as in the petrol version. Diesel unit volume UAZ-2.3 liters, power - 96hp, and more torque than on the gasoline ZMZ 409 2.7 - 216N.M at 2,100 rpm. Earlier on UAZ Hunter a diesel engine of Polish origin was installed, but today Ulyanovsk is installing its own diesel engine, which surpasses the imported unit in terms of performance. Home couple in diesel UAZs the shorter one is 4.625, while in petrol hunters the main pair is 4.11. UAZ Hunter in addition to the above-described Arzamas box, it can be equipped with a new five-speed Korean-made box, this box is already known from , the gears on it are switched on easier, and the switching scheme itself is traditional. First transfer to Korean box quite short, but on the second UAZ capable of accelerating to almost 80 km. Unlike the UAZ 469, the hunter is equipped with a spring suspension in front and a small-leaf rear suspension, the work done on the suspension made it possible to significantly reduce the “goatiness” of the car.

Output:
Of course, UAZ cannot be compared in comfort with and will not pass the turn with grace bmw, but this is one of the most passable cars in the world, exactly what you need for long-distance sorties, where there are no people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. After the transformation of the 469th into hunter, the car remained utilitarian, but still acquired some attributes of convenience.
UAZ Hunter - all-wheel drive frame SUV, designed for operation on all types of roads, as well as over rough terrain ... Its main target audience is family men over the age of 30 who choose an Ulyanovsk car for its high cross-country ability, unpretentious maintenance and affordable cost ... or people who buy it as a second or a third car - for active pastime outside the city ...
The five-door began its serial "career" in 1972 under the name UAZ-469 (and in 1985, as a result of modernization, it received the UAZ-3151 index) ... In 2003, the car "changed generation" and was renamed "Hunter" (he or UAZ-315195).
The name of this Ulyanovsk SUV, translated from in English in Russian means "Hunter".
Both "Kozlik" and "Hunter" are widely used in the Russian army, law enforcement agencies and various special services due to their unpretentiousness and maneuverability.
Hunter was exported to Germany and some Asian countries under the names UAZ Tigr and Baijah Taigah.
In 2010, the 469th set a world record for capacity passenger car, simultaneously taking on board 32 people and driving 10 meters.
UAZ-469 became the first car that was fully developed and produced by specialists from the Ulyanovsk plant (at the end of 1972).
Over its more than 40-year history, these SUVs have sold over 1,650,000 copies around the world.
The "469th" was the first car to conquer Elbrus - in 1974, three absolutely standard cars climbed to a height of 4200 meters above sea level in 38 minutes.
In 1992, the Italian pilot Philip Martorelli on the Kozlik became the absolute champion of Italy in motor racing.
In 1972, this car replaced the GAZ-69 model, as the main command vehicle of the Soviet Army. Later, he became popular and "in civilian life", in the person of "469B" ... was modernized and received the index "3151", and in 2003 "changed generation".
Details
UAZ-315195 ("Hunter"):
Design features. The second generation of the SUV, as well as the first, is perfectly prepared for the poor quality of Russian roads. The car retained high off-road patency, but at the same time it became better adapted to driving on the highway. UAZ-315195 is equipped with a more energy-intensive suspension and a reliable braking system.
Structural flaws. The main remaining drawback in the transition to a new generation is excessive rolls during maneuvering. Also, the car, as before, does not have a sufficient level of sound insulation and practically did not add in terms of cabin ergonomics.
The weakest points. In the list of the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of this machine, experts include:
- suspension and steering components,
- onboard electronics,
- clutch,
- pump,
- thermostat,
- fuel equipment.
In addition, the UAZ with the index "315195" has thinner (in comparison with its predecessor) iron, which increases the risk through corrosion body panels.
Features of the operation of the modification with a diesel engine. The domestically produced diesel engine on the Hunter is characterized by a long warm-up time and increased noise at this stage of operation, which many owners perceive as a malfunction. In cold weather, it starts problematic. The motor has a clear lack of traction on low revs, but in general, the dynamics of the UAZ-315195 with a "diesel" engine under the hood is quite acceptable. The average consumption in city driving conditions will be about 10.5 - 11.0 liters. In terms of reliability, the ZMZ-5143.10 diesel engine is no different from other ZMZ diesel engines and has similar childhood illnesses with them.
The reasons for the engine overheating in the UAZ-315195 are similar to the reasons for the engine overheating in the UAZ-469 / UAZ-3151 - they are described below.
The engine starts only when the gas pedal is pressed to the floor. This symptom most likely indicates incorrect operation of the throttle assembly, which requires cleaning and adjustment. If debugging the throttle does not help, then the cause may lie in a malfunction of the position sensor throttle valve, oxygen sensors or regulator idle move. In this case, the defective part will need to be replaced.
The alternator belt whistles. If whistling sounds appear in the area of the generator, it is necessary to tighten the belt using tension roller. If this procedure does not help, then the belt will need to be replaced with a new one.
On the electronic pedal gas periodically there is a complete discharge of gas. This problem is caused by oxidation of the contacts. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to disassemble the pedal and clean the contacts of its drive.
Problems with transmission units. The main problems associated with the checkpoints, bridges and razdatka on the Hunters are similar to those on the UAZ-469 / UAZ-3151 and are described below.
Difficulty shifting gears. The most common reasons for the appearance of excessive force when shifting gears on the UAZ-315195 are incorrect clutch adjustment and jamming of the drive cable, or the shift rod itself. In the first case, clutch adjustment will be required, but experts recommend starting with lubricating the cable and the shift drive traction mechanism.
Knocking sound when turning while driving. This symptom indicates the wear of grenades. To eliminate the defect, it will be necessary to replace the worn-out grenade assembly, since this front suspension assembly does not provide for repair.
Increased noise while driving. This symptom, as a rule, indicates a low oil level in the crankcase of the front or rear axle. To solve the problem, it is necessary to check the level and quality of the filled oil. If this method did not help to fix the problem, then you should check the integrity of the axle shafts (mainly the rear ones), the wear or deformation of which also leads to an increase in noise when the car is moving.
Knocking in the steering wheel. The appearance of this symptom indicates wear on the steering shaft crosspieces. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the worn crosses and check the reliability of the steering cardan attachment.
Salon strenuously "sweats" in the summer. The abundant appearance of condensation on the windows when the car warms up indicates increased humidity in the cabin. The reason for the increase in humidity may be the accumulation of water under the rugs. To reduce the amount of condensate on the windows, it is recommended to turn on the heater at low speeds when starting the engine and direct the entire flow of warm air to the windshield.
Irregular noise in right wheel area. Quite often, knocks appear on the UAZ-315195 in the area of \u200b\u200bthe right wheel, while sounds can have different volumes, as well as periodically disappear and reappear. As a rule, the cause of their appearance is a loose fastening. battery, which causes its vibration and impacts on the platform.
UAZ-469/3151:
Design features. This is a classic SUV, perfectly adapted to bad Russian roads. The car has a high cross-country ability and a durable chassis, "digesting" the trip to complete off-road of any complexity. The design of the "469th" is quite easy to learn, which allows you to carry out repair work in the field.
Structural flaws. Off-road advantages form the disadvantages of the car. Due to the peculiarities of the suspension, the UAZ-469 is not easy to handle on the highway, it is prone to excessive rolls when maneuvering and does not provide a short stopping distance on the icy road. In addition, he did not receive the proper level of sound insulation and has a low level of interior ergonomics.
The weakest points. The list of the most frequently breaking components and assemblies of UAZ-469 and UAZ-3151 includes:
- clutch components,
- muffler,
- pump,
- carburetor,
- fan belt,
- thermostat,
- suspension and steering components.
The engine will not start. Quite often, the problem with starting the engine on the UAZ-469 is associated with a clogged mesh filter in the gas tank intake pipe. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to remove the filter, rinse it in gasoline and blow it with compressed air. In addition, it is recommended to check the level of contamination of the fine filter, as well as the strainer on the carburetor.
Oil leaks. The main childhood illness of the UAZ-469 engine, the scale of which can be reduced by replacing the standard gaskets with cork ones, and the packing of the rear crankshaft bearing with a similar one manufactured by Daimler ("Mercedes-Benz").
Poor combustible mixture. If characteristic pops are heard in the carburetor, indicating poverty combustible mixture, then it is necessary to check the cleanliness of the carburetor jets, adjust the drive air damper and check the intake pipe for tightness. If these manipulations did not help, then repair or replacement of the fuel pump will be required.
Rich combustible mixture. The appearance of shots in the muffler indicates an excessively rich combustible mixture. This problem is usually caused by incorrect idle speed adjustment, stuck carburetor float or fuel valve. To fix the problem, it is necessary to check the integrity of the fuel supply valve, as well as adjust the position of the float and the idle speed. In addition, problems with the enrichment of the combustible mixture may occur due to incorrect operation of the air damper. In this case, it is necessary to adjust its position or replace the faulty assembly.
Reduced engine power. Most often, a drop in engine power UAZ-469 is associated with clogging air filter or incorrect operation of the throttle assembly. If the elimination of these reasons did not help, then the economizer should be checked and the compression level in the cylinders should be measured. In some cases, the cause of a drop in power can be a clogged exhaust pipe or muffler, as well as tar deposits in the intake manifold.
The engine overheats quickly. The most common cause of this problem is coolant leakage through leaky pipe connections. It is necessary to check the reliability of the fittings of the pipes, as well as the presence of smudges on the radiator and pump housing. In addition, overheating of the engine can cause wear on the fan belt, incorrect thermostat operation, and wear on pump components. In this case, it is necessary to replace the defective element of the cooling system.
The engine overheats quickly after a suspension repair. This problem can occur due to overtightening of the brakes or wheel bearings, which increases the load on the engine. It is necessary to loosen the tightening of the brakes and wheel bearings until the path of free movement is normalized.
Increased noise of the rear axle or transfer case. This symptom indicates a low oil level or worn rear axle or transfer case components. In the first case, it is necessary to add oil to the required level, in the second case, it is necessary to replace worn parts.
Noise when accelerating car. As a rule, the appearance of a hum or intermittent noise that increases with increasing speed indicates wear on the crosspieces. cardan shaft or imbalance. To fix the problem, it is necessary to replace worn crosses, balance the shaft and check the integrity of the splined joints.
Difficult shifting or spontaneous disengagement during movement. These symptoms indicate wear on the synchronizers or gear bushings. In addition, the problem may arise due to deformation of the shift forks. To fix the problem, it is necessary to replace worn gearbox components.
Clutch does not fully disengage. Clutch disengagement problems can cause increased free play on the clutch pedal. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the position of the pedal and the length of its free play. If this procedure does not help, then the worn clutch disc will need to be replaced.
Clutch makes noise when pedal is depressed. This symptom indicates a lack of lubrication in the clutch bearing or its critical wear. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to lubricate the bearing or replace it.
Increased steering wheel free play. This problem indicates worn tie rods that need to be replaced. In addition, the cause of an increase in free play of the steering wheel may be wear on the worm bearings or loosening of the ball studs or steering knuckles. In this case, it is necessary to check the level of wear of the parts of the worm pair, as well as the reliability of fastening of the front suspension components.
The rubric presents detailed reviews various generations and modifications of the UAZ Hunter, with owner reviews and photographs. The main technical specifications and the characteristics of each car under consideration (engines (diesel / gasoline), gearboxes and transmissions, fuel consumption, maximum speed and dynamics, dimensions and capacity, clearance, etc.). As well as configurations and prices for the new Hunters for the Russian market.
The technical characteristics of the UAZ Hunter help the car to maintain its leadership among fans of off-road vehicles.
Technical parameters of UAZ "Hunter"
The first models left the assembly line with gasoline engines with a capacity of 104 liters. from. and a volume of 2.9 liters. Later they began to issue power plant with a volume of 2.7 liters and a capacity of 128 horsepower from the Patriot brand. For the entire time of its existence, the car has worked on gasoline carburetor, injection and diesel engines. One of the first options offered was an 8-valve Polish diesel engine "Andoria" with 2.42 liters and 86 liters. with., which were achieved at 4000 rpm. At 1800 rpm its torque was 183 N * m.
Already in 2005, Andoria was replaced by a domestic 16-valve diesel engine ZMZ-51432, generating 114 forces with a volume of 2.2 liters and 3500 rpm. The thrust of the unit reached 270 N * m, subject to 1800–2800 rpm. And also on the Hunter, a 2.2-liter F-Diesel 4JB1T engine (China) was installed, which produced a torque of 200 N * m (2000 rpm) and 92 liters. from. (3600 rpm). The latest came out diesel version"UAZ" with a 2.2 liter engine from the "Patriot" with a capacity of 98 forces. Today, you can buy such a diesel engine only in the secondary market.
The dynamic and speed characteristics of the UAZ "Hunter" are not the most strengths car. The petrol version accelerates to 130 km/h, the diesel version to 120 km/h.
The increased cross-country ability of the SUV is provided by considerable fuel consumption. Consumption petrol models on average, it is 13.5 liters per 100 km, and the diesel UAZ "Hunter" "eats" a little less - 10.1 liters per 100 km. These figures were calculated while driving on a level pavement, in off-road conditions, fuel consumption increases.
