GAZ 31105 in detail about fuel consumption
Content
In today's article, we will talk about a car that is known to everyone - this is GAZ 31105, aka Volga. What is the fuel consumption of a GAZ 31105 with a 406 engine (injector)? What are the pros and cons of driving a car? What are the specifications of this model? Let's figure it out.
What determines fuel consumption
- Traffic intensity. The more and more often you overtake other vehicles, the higher your fuel consumption by 31105.
- The quality of the coverage (roads). The presence of pits does not contribute to savings.
- Coating relief. In areas with hills or mountains, fuel consumption increases significantly.
- Weather. In windy weather, the amount of fuel required increases.
- driving style. If you are a fan of driving at high speed, and then abruptly dropping speed, the fuel consumption of the GAZ 31105 will significantly exceed the standards declared by the manufacturer.
| Engine | Consumption (city) |
| 2.3i (petrol) 5-mech, 2WD | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
2.4i (137 HP, 210 Nm, turbo petrol) 5-mech, 2WD | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
A brief overview of the GAZ model
This Volga model has been produced since 2004 and is the latest modification of the GAZ 3110... The 2007th Volga was modernized in XNUMX - the appearance was slightly changed, the technical characteristics were improved. And if in terms of appearance, the manufacturer slightly "backed down", then in terms of improving the technical components, everything was done perfectly.
As for the engine, there is a good choice here. Initially, in the Volga, an injection engine ZMZ 406 was installed. This is 135 horsepower, a volume of 2,3 liters. For amateurs, it was possible to install a ZMZ 4021 carburetor engine with a volume of two and a half liters. A gas engine is not installed in the Volga - this is the advantage of trucks.
After modification in 2007, instead of the domestic system, American engines began to be used. This made it possible to improve the maneuverability of the car, but average fuel consumption for GAZ 31105 in the city increased slightly... We should also mention the modification of the exhaust system. Its volume has been doubled. Due to this, the blowdown in the combustion chambers has improved, as a result, the toxicity of exhaust gases has decreased.
It's hard to deny the popularity of the injector engine. Both according to the declared parameters, and according to the reviews of experienced motorists, it is considered more reliable. And the consumption of gasoline for a GAZ 31105 with a domestic engine is lower than for the same model with another engine of the same volume.
Let's talk a little about the appearance. In 2007, the Volga underwent several changes, and now a long trunk and hood have already become the norm. New tires of 195/65 R15 standard, smooth ride and "tenacious" suspension - this is what they say about this model.
Fuel consumption: norms, statistics and reviews
Regardless of the car model, there are a few general facts to know about fuel consumption in general..
- The official and real fuel consumption of GAZ 31105 per 100 km may differ - and this is normal. It is not normal when the difference reaches several liters. In this case, you should contact the service.
- In winter and summer, the consumption differs quite significantly. In the case of GAZ 31105, the difference can reach from 1 to 3 liters.
- Fuel consumption 31105 per 100 km on the highway, in the city and off-road can also differ in the range from one to five liters (off-road).
If you are calculating the fuel consumption of a car yourself, make sure everything is done correctly. Very often, indicators made at home can be wrong up to a liter and a half.
Established standards for fuel consumption
The fuel consumption rate of GAZ 31105 on the highway is 12,5 liters. The real consumption in summer is about twelve liters, in winter it reaches thirteen. Consumption gasoline for a GAZ 31105 Chrysler is slightly higher by 1-1,5 liters than for the Volga with a ZMZ engine. Fuel consumption in summer is lower by 0,5-1 l. The reason is mainly the weather. In winter, you have to overcome snowdrifts, i.e. resistance increases, so more fuel is spent.
The average consumption in the city for a GAZ 31105 car is 15 liters for winter time and 13 liters for summer. For Chryslers GAZ 31105, you can safely add 2-3 liters to these figures. Off-road consumption rates are 15 liters in summer and 18 liters in winter.
Conclusion: fuel consumption directly depends on the engine power system (diesel, injection, carburetor).
What to do if the flow rate is prohibitive
First, try to find the cause of the high fuel consumption. Check the ignition system - malfunctions often occur there, which entail an increase in the "devouring" of fuel by 1,5-2 times.
Do not forget to check the compression and the seemingly obvious - the fuel tank, or rather, its integrity.
The brakes are generally a separate "world" inside the car. The adjustment valve often becomes unusable, sometimes the brake pads themselves are faultythat start to seize and go back. This not only entails an increase in fuel consumption, but also may end in an accident, because no one knows at what point the brakes will fail.
Check bearings, wheel alignment, check pressure. And of course, don't forget the drivetrain.
If you could not find a malfunction and fix it, we advise you to contact a service station.
