What type of automatic transmission is installed on the Hyundai Solaris: robot or automatic transmission? Power position - pseudo-sport mode

The Hyundai Solaris automatic transmission is a convenient solution for a city car, and buyers are not stopped even more high cost compared to mechanics. The updated Solaris received a 6-speed automatic transmission with convenient switching, which made driving even more comfortable. Consider the Hyundai Solaris.

History of the automatic transmission of this model

The automatic transmission on the Solaris was originally a 4-speed with the marking A4CF1. After restyling in 2014, the car received a new 6-speed automatic transmission; it is installed on cars with a 1.6-liter engine. For equipment with a 1.4-liter engine, a simpler version is still used.
Combination modern engine and the Solaris automatic transmission provided him with the following set technical characteristics:

  • Engine power reaches 123 hp. s, the maximum number of revolutions per minute is 6300.
  • The car accelerates to 100 km/h in 11.2 seconds.
  • Torque – 155 at 4200 rpm.
  • Maximum speed with this engine option it reaches 190 km/h.

Automatic transmission Hyundai Solaris has an important distinctive feature– the presence of a manual mode, which is often used by fans of high speeds. Gears change to automatic mode when reaching maximum engine speed.

Automatic transmission modes of use

The Solaris automatic transmission provides the following modes of use:

  • “P” - parking mode, designed for long-term warm-up of the engine when parked. When the car is moving and when stopping at a traffic light, this mode does not turn on.
  • "R" - reverse. It can only be turned on after the car has come to a complete stop and only when the brake is pressed.
  • “N” is a neutral gear used when towing with the engine turned off to move the vehicle.
  • “D” - the main operating mode of the automatic transmission Hyundai Solaris, plus and minus signs indicate upshifts and downshifts.

According to the manufacturer's regulations, servicing the Hyundai Solaris automatic with an oil change is not provided, however, in Russian conditions, experts advise changing it every 90 thousand kilometers. Any breakdowns should be repaired exclusively in the service center; specialists should be contacted at the first occurrence of malfunctions. Reviews of the Hyundai Solaris automatic confirm the reliability of the box, but it requires correct operation and the caring attitude of the owner.

Until 2014, the Hyundai Solaris was equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. After restyling, the plant began installing 6-speed automatic transmissions on cars with a 1.6-liter engine. The box performed well, however, there are some complaints about it. In addition to the design of the automatic transmission, you need to know the rules for operating a car with an automatic transmission, which is what we will do now.

What kind of automatic machine is installed on the Hyundai Solaris

Until 2014, Solaris could only be installed 4-speed automatic A4CF1 regardless of engine size. Since 2009, the company, together with Mitsubishi, began developing and testing a new six-speed automatic transmission A6GF1, which replaced the outdated five-speed automatic. Initially new box installed on the limited edition Hyundai Avante in HD/MD trim levels, and later the box went to the Sonata, Opirus, Kia Optima and several other cars, including the Hyundai Solaris.

According to official data, Solaris with a new 6-speed automatic transmission has become more economical, more dynamic and smoother, although the numbers do not always confirm this. With Gamma 1.6 engine and manual transmission the car consumes 6.1 l/100 km in the combined cycle.

Solaris with an automatic transmission and the same engine is asking for 6.5 l. in the combined cycle, and acceleration to hundreds with the advent of the automatic increased by a second - from 10.3 s to 11,3 .

Classification and design features of automatic transmission

Automatic transmission with pan removed.

According to company standards, gearbox index A6GF1 and A4СF1 deciphered as follows:

  • A - automatic transmission with electronic control;
  • 6 or 4 - number of steps;
  • G - class for torque power, in our case the automatic transmission can work with engines up to two liters in volume;
  • F - indicates that the automatic transmission is designed for a front-wheel drive vehicle;
  • 1 - automatic transmission modification, the higher the value, the more torque the gearbox can pass through.

In some modifications of the A6GF1 automatic transmission you can find index L, which means that the box is designed to torque of at least 400 Nm paired with a 2.4–3.8 liter diesel engine. Letter M speaks about the ability of the automatic transmission to transmit up to 280 Nm torque and work with gasoline and diesel engines volume 1.6–2.4 liters.

Interpretation of automatic transmission markings A6GF1, A6MF1/2 and A6LF1/2/3.

The hydromechanical automatic machine on Solaris has a classic design - a torque converter, several planetary gearboxes, friction and overrunning clutches. Nevertheless The A6GF1 automatic transmission has several features, distinguishing it from other models:

  1. Bypass valve body got the opportunity to change the maximum line pressure , which saves fuel.
  2. The damping clutch is installed directly on the torque converter , and this made it possible to improve the frequency conversion of the engine and also save up to 12% of fuel.
  3. In automatic transmission a driven power take-off gear with face-grinding teeth is used , which made it possible to increase the resource of the unit and reduce its noise level.
  4. The box is controlled by a control unit , which fully controls oil pressure and reacts to changes in engine speed, this made it possible to obtain smoother gear shifts.
  5. Shock-absorbing clutch control range increased , which also had a positive effect on fuel consumption.
  6. The tachometer receives data from the control unit Automatic transmission, and not from the vehicle speed sensor.

Repair and maintenance of automatic transmission Hyundai Solaris

The difference between the instrument panel and automatic transmission is a separate window with the gearbox operating mode.

First routine maintenance with a six-speed automatic transmission of the A6GF1 family must be carried out every 30000 km mileage

At this time, the level and quality of the oil in the gearbox crankcase is checked, and its replacement should be carried out at a mileage of 80–100 thousand km, depending on the operating mode. ATF oil for all Solaris automatic transmissions uses the SP4 standard in a volume of 7.3 to 7.8 liters. depending on the modification of the box. When changing the oil, it is necessary to replace the filter. Filter catalog number - 367010ВС.

The six-speed automatic transmission is very sensitive to oil quality and pressure. The mileage is more than 140-150 thousand As a rule, replacement of the repair kit of gaskets and seals is required. If you do not replace them in time, the solenoids may fail, on which the load increases significantly. If the oil pressure is below normal (oil leakage, low level), there is a high probability of clutch failure. In such cases it is necessary to use complete repair kit with index 367007.

By timely servicing the automatic transmission on Solaris, you can achieve a long service life of the unit and proper, correct operation. Keep an eye on the oil level in the box and good luck to everyone!

Advantage of using automatic transmission makes choosing such a car more preferable when purchasing. Even additional costs maintenance during subsequent operation does not bother the owners. At the same time, to take full advantage of all advantages of automatic transmission, you should not only operate it correctly, but also carry out regular maintenance.

General characteristics and operation

At the initial stage, a 4-speed automatic was installed. Its markings are designated A4CF1. A six-speed automatic transmission began to be installed on the Hyundai Solaris starting in the fall of 2014. At the same time, the 6-automatic transmission only works in tandem with the 1.6 liter gasoline engine. A simpler gearbox is still available for the 1.4 liter engine.

Such a pair, engine - gearbox, assumes technical characteristics for the Hyundai Solaris in the following form:

  • engine power – 123 hp at 6300 rpm;
  • torque - Nm at 4200 rpm;
  • acceleration to 100 km/h – 11.2 seconds;
  • fuel efficiency – “highway-city-combined cycle” – 5.2/8.8/6.5 liters, respectively.

A distinctive feature of the box is the presence of a manual mode, which is used by active drivers as a sport mode. When using this mode, gears also change automatically, but this happens when maximum speed is reached (about 6 thousand rpm). In this case, the first “hundred” turns out to be achievable at third speed.

Gears for leisurely driving on the highway - 5th and 6th differ in movement from each other by about 600 revolutions. So, at a speed of 90-100 km/h, the highest gear sets the engine to about 2500 rpm, and helps use fuel more economically.

During operation, you should correctly use all provided automatic transmission modes:

  1. Position “P” corresponds to the concept of “parking”. This mode is used when long-term parking car, but the car cannot move. The engine can then start.
  2. Position “R” corresponds to the mode reverse. The engine should not be started, and switching to this mode should be done after stopping the car.
  3. The “N” mode does not use any of the elements of the box; the car can be rolled and the engine started.
  4. The “D” position corresponds to the driving mode, and the “-” and “+” symbols suggest manual upshift or downshift.

It should be noted that this type of box does not provide specific modes where individual gears, for example, 1st, are used.

Maintenance and possible malfunctions

Does not involve changing the oil automatic transmission transmission At the same time, the short service life of the Hyundai Solaris with a 6-speed automatic does not allow us to talk about problems in the operation of the box.

However, experts in the field of repair and maintenance of traditional automatic transmissions say it is necessary to change the oil every 90 thousand kilometers.

During operation, the box is not characterized by thoughtfulness or smooth switching. Among possible malfunctions One can note the tight movement of the box selector, which is a consequence of a number of reasons:

  • the vehicle is on a slope;
  • violation of the drive cable settings;
  • gear shift mechanism malfunction.

If necessary, contacting the service center will help quickly resolve the problem.

The correct operation of the transmission in any car depends on the quality of lubrication of the rubbing components inside the unit. If the fluid loses its properties, it cannot perform its functions, as a result of which the gearbox begins to operate intermittently. To prevent this, the Hyundai Solaris must be replaced in a timely manner.

Replacement frequency

Many car owners are interested in when and how long it takes to change consumables in Hyundai transmissions Solaris 2011, 2012, 2014 and other years of release. Therefore, first, let’s look at at what mileage the lubricant in the gearbox needs to be changed. According to official data, the oil for the Solaris automatic transmission does not change. The manufacturer fills the liquid for the entire service life of the vehicle. But in fact, the lubricant is produced over time, loses its characteristics and cannot perform the functions assigned to it, that is, it does not provide proper lubrication of the unit. In practice, changing transmission consumables in a Hyundai Solaris car with gasoline engine should be carried out every 50-60 thousand kilometers. Experts advise performing this procedure once every two years.

Automatic transmission interior

There are several important factors that affect the service life of a liquid:

  1. Temperature changes. When the air temperature changes frequently, this leads to a change in the viscosity characteristics of the oil. If the changes are too sharp, this causes a loss of technical characteristics of the lubricant.
  2. Constant operation of the vehicle in start-stop mode. For example, a car is used in traffic jams in a big city.
  3. Driving style. If the driver frequently changes gears, brakes sharply or starts driving, additional load is placed on the lubricant. Because of this, the lubricant becomes contaminated faster and its operation becomes less effective.

What “symptoms” can indicate the need to change the oil in the Hyundai Solaris automatic gearbox:

  • the appearance of sediment and wear products in consumables;
  • presence of a burning smell;
  • the appearance of difficulties when activating a particular transmission;
  • presence of vibrations in the area of ​​the automatic transmission selector;
  • appearance extraneous sounds during operation of the unit;
  • The transmission started kicking and shoving.

Which oil is better to choose?


Original product for automatic transmission Solaris

It is important for the driver to know what kind of liquid should be poured into the unit. The Hyundai manufacturer recommends that consumers fill the system with the original ATF SP 3 product, which is manufactured by the concern. This oil allows you to optimally perform the function of lubrication of rubbing components, as well as provide cooling of components and high-quality washing of all parts. By using the original product, optimal torque transmission can be achieved. Regarding the degree of viscosity, it is better to choose consumables, which belongs to a lower class. For example, all-season oils should have an index of 90W, 140W, and winter fluids should have an index of 75W, 80W or 85W.

Level control and topping up

To diagnose the fluid level you will need a white napkin:

  1. Start the car engine and drive for 10 minutes to warm up the transmission.
  2. Checking the level is performed on a flat surface. Stop the engine and wait about ten minutes until transmission fluid will not drain into the pan.
  3. Open the hood and locate the dipstick to check the level. It is located on the right side of the engine compartment.
  4. Wipe the dipstick with a napkin and reinstall it in the hole, then remove it. If the fluid level is normal, it will be located between the two marks on the dipstick.

The service station channel in Simferopol published a video demonstrating the procedure for changing the lubricant in a Solaris automatic transmission.

How to change engine oil yourself?

Change oil at 4, 5 or 6 step box You can install an automatic machine on Solaris yourself, without the help of specialists.

Preparation

To complete the task you will need:

  • new lubricant;
  • funnel or cut off top of the bottle;
  • rags;
  • syringe with a connected hose;
  • a bucket or basin into which the lubricant will be drained.

Partial replacement

Partial lubricant changes are a simpler and more economical way to change the oil.

This procedure is performed every 20-30 thousand kilometers. But keep in mind that with a partial replacement, only about a third of the liquid can be drained from the system, no more. It is necessary to dismantle the pan, so you can additionally replace the filter device. The main disadvantage is that fresh lubricant will mix with used lubricant, and this will not improve the performance of the transmission as a whole. Therefore, if the oil used in the gearbox is of poor quality, and problems arise in the operation of the unit, then partial replacement doesn't suit you.

The procedure is performed like this:

  1. First, open the hood of the car and check the level of consumable fluid in the system.
  2. For not complete replacement start the engine for a few minutes. With the engine running, the automatic transmission selector must be moved to all positions, stopping in each gear for a few seconds.
  3. One end of the hose connected to the syringe must be installed in the control hole and about 25-40% of the lubricant must be pumped out of it.
  4. Then, using the same syringe, pour fresh lubricant into it and fill the gearbox with it.

The procedure for partial and complete replacement is clearly shown in the video filmed by the Hyundai Solaris channel.

Complete replacement

The most effective way to completely change the lubricant in the transmission is to use specialized equipment that can be found at a service station. But if you decide to do everything yourself, you can do without it.

How to make a replacement:

  1. Check the lubricant level. This is done in order to understand how much oil remains in the system. If the fluid level is low, check all components of the transmission system for leaks.
  2. Get under the bottom of the car. Find the drain plug and place a bucket or basin under it to collect the used lubricant. When draining, the dipstick must be removed from the inspection hole to reduce pressure in the transmission housing and speed up the procedure.
  3. Wait until all the lubricant is completely removed from the transmission unit. Then the drain plug must be closed.
  4. Place a funnel in the hole to control the level and pour new lubricant into the automatic transmission through it.
  5. Remove the funnel from the control hole, install the dipstick in it and insert power unit for 5 minutes. With the engine running, you need to turn on all the gearbox operating modes in turn, with a 10-second pause in each of them. These actions will disperse the lubricant through all channels of the system and partially flush it of residual waste fluid. Thanks to the oil circulation, all wear products can be removed from the gearbox.
  6. Open the drain plug and drain the grease. Rate its quality. If wear and deposits remain in the oil, the flushing procedure must be repeated. Fill the oil to the maximum mark and tighten the plug.
  7. Start the power unit. Use the gearbox selector to activate all transmission modes. Drain the lubricant and if its quality has improved, fill in new oil according to the level. Perform a test ride. Check the fluid level in the system again and add oil if necessary.
