ENGINE

The drives are almost perfect, the only drawback is the cracked collectors, which are clogged with a catalyst, they often have cracks in the civic (Photo 3). The oil pan very often corrodes up to complete perforation (Photo 4). A strange phenomenon, the bowl usually fights against leaks from this number (Photo 5), and corrosion progresses, probably due to the proximity of a heat-tolerant catalyst. The exhaust system is highly corroded at higher mileage (Photo 6).

Hamulce

Corrosion is common to the metal components of the piping system, outer drums, and perimeter guards. Handbrake cables seize and cause faster wear on jaws and drums.

Body

Anti-corrosion protection of the body is quite well developed, but most of the cars imported into the country are cars after the so-called. transitions, so you need to pay attention to the quality and thickness of the varnish layer. Often even very beautiful and trouble-free specimens are heavily rusted from the bottom (Photo 7).
