Datsun On Do test: Japanese misunderstanding? Possible suspension problems on Datsun on-Do and mi-Do Loud noise during operation of the air conditioning compressor

More than three years have passed since the moment when Datsun cars appeared on the market. Therefore, according to Russian law, these cars are officially considered second-hand. The experts of the AvtoVzglyad portal found out how problematic Japanese sedans and hatchbacks of Russian origin are in operation.

It is no secret to many that Datsun on-DO- it is turned over externally sedan LADA Granta, and mi-Do is an improved version of the domestic LADA Kalina, while technical filling cars are the same. Therefore, we have in fact a product of the Togliatti automobile plant, slightly seasoned with Japanese marketing sauce. But under it, as already mentioned, the same aggregate basis as that of Grants and Kalina. At the same time, a lot of things in the "Japanese" have been improved compared to their Russian counterparts. In addition to the transformed appearance and interior, many components, mechanisms and individual parts of the sedan and hatchback have undergone a thorough revision.

According to one of their Datsun technical representatives, more than 1,000 elements of the machine survived the fine-tuning. Indeed, compared with the same "Grant" and "Kalina", the Japanese sedan and hatchback have become noticeably quieter on the go - their sound insulation is more efficient, the engine is idling smoother and quieter, the mechanical boxes have partially got rid of the characteristic transmission "howl", and the gears turn on more clearly and with less effort. In general, in Datsun on-DO and mi-Do, attention to detail is felt in comparison with their Russian prototypes.

However, as the classics said, you can’t go far on the carriage of the past. After all, from machines that were developed more than 15 years ago, it is difficult to make a competitive modern car. All the flaws and shortcomings of their design invariably pop up in the Datsun on-DO / mi-Do. So, for example, many owners are strained, like in domestic prototypes, by swinging open 90 degrees front doors. Not only can they be easily damaged by an obstacle in the immediate vicinity. And if it’s an expensive car parked nearby, then it’s even easier than ever to get money.

Body comes with a 6 year factory warranty. through corrosion. On the one hand, very good. On the other hand, some Datsun on-DO and mi-Do specimens may bloom with rusty spots after the first Russian winter. And not only the characteristic elements of the body, such as wheel arches and sills, but almost all the details - doors, hood, fenders and even the roof. Yes, yes, this sometimes happens, although it does not have the character of an epidemic. Often the windshield wiper trapezoid (1500 rubles) fails, the door locks do not work well and are fixed, the windshield is quickly scratched. Most likely, this is the fault of allies. But the consumer still has to deal with it.

Electrical failures also occur. Moreover, they intersect with similar problems on the "Grant" and "Kalina". The climate control unit may be moping, the wipers electric motor may fail, or the lamps in the lighting fixtures burn out with enviable frequency. By the way, one electrical incident also happened on the test Datsun on-DO. The fog lights didn't want to turn off. Even when the engine was turned off, the ignition was turned off, and the car was armed, the fog lights continued to shine. Switching the node on and off again did nothing.

I had to remove the negative terminal from the battery and wait until the morning, because it was already late in the evening. The next day, having dismantled the block for switching light modes, they put it back - the foglights still continue to “burn”. In general, we decided to pull out the appropriate fuses, but before that we checked again - the headlights turned off by themselves. As the servicemen would say, a “walking” malfunction ... After that, I no longer used the foglights until I returned the car to the dealer.

As for the engines, on-DO gasoline 8-valve engines with a volume of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 82 and 87 liters were installed. with., as well as a 106-horsepower 16-valve. At the same time, mi-DO was content with only an 87-strong “four”. Eight-valve units are generally reliable. True, on some instances of Datsun increased consumption oils. Valve covers can leak with age. However, the repair costs mere pennies - just install a new gasket or put the cover on the sealant. The timing belt is prescribed to be changed every 75,000 km, but mechanics recommend thinking about updating it after 50,000 km. It is advisable to change the water pump (2,300 rubles) at the same time as timing belt- it usually fails after 100,000 km. The fact is that a leaky pump can jam and then cut off the teeth on the driven belt.

If such a malfunction happens with a 106-horsepower engine, then the valves will meet the pistons and overhaul engine is provided. This "four", by the way, is noticeably more capricious in operation compared to the "eight-valve".

On all engines, spark plugs and ignition coils, oxygen sensors (1900 rubles each) and mass air flow (from 2800 rubles) periodically fail. Often the ECU engine control unit is buggy, because of which the engine suddenly stalls and refuses to start again. Over time, crankshaft seals begin to leak and camshaft- well, if the front. To replace the rear crankshaft sensor, you will have to remove the clutch.

By the way, the clutch assembly usually nurses up to 100,000 km. True, on Datsuns, sometimes by 30,000 km it may be necessary to replace the clutch disc. Although it is better to update the whole mechanism with a basket and release bearing. The five-speed “mechanics” traditionally wear second gear synchronizers. This sore was not only on the Grant and Kalina, but also on the VAZ cars of the tenth family. That's heredity. But repairing the box is inexpensive - from 12,000 rubles.

The Jatco automatic transmission, which at first was installed only on hatchbacks, and since the fall of 2016 on Datsun sedans, is ancient, but hassle-free. You only need to change the oil in it every 60,000 km, and it will easily outlive the engine.

The suspension of Datsun on-DO and mi-Do is simple in design, energy intensive and durable. At risk are rear wheel bearings, which nurse 50,000 km. But the front endure twice as long. If it chimes steering rack, it is enough just to tighten the locknuts with a special wrench. True, the electric amplifier sometimes fails - the mechanism suddenly stops working, but after a while it can again be in service as if nothing had happened.

... In general, both Datsuns cannot boast of exemplary reliability. However, even pensioners and students can afford the maintenance of a sedan and hatchback, and spare parts cost mere pennies compared to foreign cars. After all, we repeat for the umpteenth time, this is, in fact, the same LADA Granta and Kalina.

Absolutely problem-free cars do not exist. But the creators of Dastun On-Do and mi-Do took as an example a domestic model that is perfectly adapted to our roads. Therefore, you do not have to come to the service station often.

"Hodovka" Datsun

The uncomplicated scheme of the chassis of the Datsun on-Do and models, copied from the domestic one, has high reliability and efficiency. At the same time, the price tag for its service is more than moderate. And the initial focus on the domestic market and its conditions only added points to the asset of the chassis of the "Japanese". However, the ideal option does not exist and a breakdown in the Dastun suspension is a matter of time, although not soon.

Troubleshooting for Datsun

This is within the power of the driver himself, since the layout is simple and well-established. Therefore, it is by no means necessary to go to a certified service station. In addition, a significant part of the he-Do malfunctions is eliminated on its own, and the repair process is described in detail in the mi-Do service manual.

It is clear at first glance, and the Datsun He Do test confirms that “He” is not for money bags. Will that handful of coins (from 329 to 400 thousand rubles) that we ordinary citizens have smile at him?

VIDEO Datsun He Do test at the end of the article.

I looked at the Datsun On Do from a distance between the duelists. He had just rolled out of the car wash and seemed to radiate optimism.

On the right is a Datsun assembled by AvtoVAZ. "He", unlike "Grants", with other shock absorbers and springs, reinforced anti-roll bars, improved sound insulation of the floor and engine compartment, and other door seals.

Banzai, Lada Granta! With this comparison with losing buyers Russian car, Datsun On Do seems to shiver a little, or is it unwiped drops that rolled into the wide gaps between the headlights and the hood?

It cannot be said that a crowd of washers and their clients immediately gathered around the Datsun On Do, clicking their tongues at the sight of the Russian-Japanese novelty. Business indifference reigned all around.

Slits in the front, slits in the back - inside and out, why did they call "Grant" He Do?

“It's a Datsun On Do,” I exclaimed, without any hope of getting a discount for washing it. Finally, the open hood managed to arouse the interest of the director of the repair shop, which was located nearby.

The director, seeing the 8-valve 1.6-liter engine familiar from the Lada Samara, our 87-horsepower, hit a long story about the familiar problems of a five-speed manual gearbox. It was already clear to everyone that the Datsun On Do had the same old VAZ one (only with a cable drive), and you were tormented with it. At the words "fall apart", I closed the hood and said goodbye to the people's expert.

By the way, at the first glance at the engine compartment, you understand that you got into the kitchen to a neat hostess. Here all the tubes are in the right size, they don’t hang out, they are pressed with clips, not like that of their sister, the slut Lada Grants.

If you believe the responses to, slovenliness in fine-tuning and assembling the car leads to the fact that “almost ruined the whole family, frayed brake pipe about the clutch cable.

Nissan paid AvtoVAZ for fine-tuning the Datsun On Do, everything should be arigato here, my laundered test object throws its trump cards on the table.

Landing in the Datsun On Do, as in the Grant, is unusually high for me. I did not feel a denser stuffing of the seats. After a couple of hours of driving, my back hurts. The steering wheel is thin, instruments, like instruments, once you get used to it, you can use it. The review is normal, the mirrors are comfortable, there is a separate one for the passenger in the folding visor.

Sorry, no matter how much Nissan pays AvtoVAZ, turning Grant into Datsun On Do, the result will be predictable - as they say in the east, fleeing from a snake, a hunter will see a tiger. I imagine this beast in the form of domestic components. I wrote about them many times in the hope that, finally, the problem of localization in our modern automotive parts, but for "Grants" for so many years nothing new has been proposed.

On the steering wheel, instead of a boat, there are Datsun emblems, and the center console seems to be original, but the microclimate control unit is from Kalina, the trip computer display is from Grants. And still the same smell of VAZ synthetics ... Airbags for the driver and passenger.

My Datsun He Do test showed that this is the same “Grant”, which was finally provided with pre-production fine-tuning. Once I told myself that at the familiar sound of howling transmission, I will not say anything, just slam the door of this car from the outside. But in this case, the interest to come to the Datsun On Do test turned out to be stronger. I ride in it, shifting gears, and the sound of the Lada Samara, familiar from the 80s, buzzes in my stomach. Well, how much can you put up with it? And why would the Japanese build their reputation on a bomb of our obsolete designs and components?

My first Japanese car was a right-hand drive Toyota Corolla with 200,000 miles on it. Oh, how sweetly the gears shifted there. The Russian Japanese "Datsun On Do" never dreamed of this, of course, he tries, but he stumbles every now and then, especially at the bottom.

You can also experience nostalgic-warm feelings for the howling transmission. Then you stop noticing light plugs of the gear lever. The motor seems even frisky, and Datsun On Do moves around the cones without demolitions.

Datsun On Do: moderate rolls, do not lead to the buildup of the car, the suspension travel is sufficient to keep the road with four wheels in a turn.

I have already complimented the driving performance of the Lada Grants on the Myachkovo ring road. The Datsun On Do have them even better. The steering wheel has a good effect on fine-tuning the car for some money, it is with a new gearless electric booster. The return force is higher than in the Grant, the Datsun On Do does not need to be taxied, it keeps its course perfectly and is controlled at high speeds.

I didn’t like the bagel itself - after Renault Sandero it seems thin. This is the only thing that annoyed me while riding around the cones. Otherwise, the Russian-Japanese behaved well on the snake. He did not roll excessively, did not throw his nose or tail, passed the snake rather with neutral steering. A good simulator for counter-emergency training.

Suspension rear elastic transverse beam, front "McPherson".
A full-size spare wheel in a niche frees up space for liters in the trunk.

Front metal sheet closes engine compartment. Clearance - 174 mm.

Taking a country apple out of the bag and inhaling the aroma of Russian nature from it, you are distracted from the loud voice of the VAZ engine, the nauseating smell of a cheap salon. Having got used to it, that is, forgetting that there is a sea of ​​other cars, I begin to compare, returning to my former Samara. In terms of soundproofing, the Lada Granta loses to her. And Datsun On Do in this sense, well done - nothing creaks here, all panels are tightly pressed, the interior is well isolated from road noise.

Back rear seat continuous folds, the central seat belt (there are three of them in the back) can hold the load.

The ground clearance of the Datsun On Do, like that of Chinese all-terrain vehicles, is 174 millimeters. With such a clearance, you can drive to any of the gambling zones currently operating in Russia. Even if the most deadly roads are laid to them, the Datsun On Do will bring the winnings in a huge trunk of 530 liters without exhausting the joyful riders. It’s even hard to imagine how the pursuers can catch up with him. It accelerates to hundreds in 12.6 seconds (I tested it myself), and when it gets off the asphalt, it will rush even more confidently, the long-stroke suspension will work without rebound, allowing you to confidently ride over bumps.

My prediction: "Lada Granta" can be brought to Datsun On Do standards. And then "On Do" will have to compete with "Logan" and "Sandero". For example, I would take Sandero.

So, with the money of Nissan, improving the Grant, the Renault-Nissan-AvtoVAZ alliance built the Datsun On Do. I'm not ready to say that the time was well spent on this. Perhaps it was not necessary to risk the reputation of a Japanese car, but simply to bring to mind the same Grant, leaving her maiden name. But this would have been an even greater misunderstanding for the Japanese who paid the money.

P.S. The new exchange rate of the ruble in November against the euro-dollar did not change my attitude towards the Datsun On Do, only I added a question mark in the title of this article.

Puddles - go! Pits - go! By spring Russian roads we travel by hatchback Datsun mi-DO. The reason for the trip is the year the model was present on the Russian market. But for us, mi-DO is new. Although with reservations...


It was not in vain that we parked our Datsun next to the old woman "Kalina" - we decided to make a family portrait with an ancestor! After all, if Granta served as the basis for the creation of the on-DO sedan, then for the five-door mi-DO - Kalina II, which is precisely the successor to the first generation Kalina.

Actually, no one hides the "true essence" Datsun cars For Russian market: by and large, these are the VAZ models, finalized by the Nissan engineering center. More precisely, being finalized: changes to the design are made constantly, including in response to comments from the owners.

For example, when it turned out that the doors swing open too easily, their limiters were finalized. In addition, by applying silicone grease to the silent blocks of the front stabilizer, the squeak in the suspension was eliminated. Recalibrated engine settings, improving its elasticity. The main pair of 3.7 on the MCP was replaced by a shorter 3.9. We worked on the accuracy of the trip computer and updated the navigation system software, including the maps themselves. Or, for example, they changed the algorithm for disabling the exchange rate stability system - yes, yes, mi-DO also has it!

In general, a high level of equipment is one of the features of the model, which allows you to distance yourself from Russian "relatives". So, already in the "base" mi-DO boasts the presence of two pillows, ABS + EBD + BAS, central locking, heated seats and "front power accessories".

And in more expensive versions there is a stability control system, side airbags, heating windshield and multimedia system with navigation. Moreover, unlike most stamps, a detailed map of Belarus is uploaded to it!

By and large, the differences in design between mi-DO and Kalina II come down to a different design of the front end with a characteristic six-pointed grille and original optics, modified bumpers, a different tailgate and different from the Kalina rear lights. As they say, it tastes and color, but, in my humble opinion, it smells too "Asian" ...

As for the interior of the mi-DO, it differs from the "Kalinovsky" one primarily in the original front panel, in the center of which, depending on the version, there will be a multimedia system with a touchscreen, a 2DIN audio system or a place for installing a radio.

However, in general, this is the same Kalina with simple finishing materials and protruding heads of self-tapping screws. In general, budgetary, but collected quite decently. So, changing cars along the way, driving along roads of very different quality, we did not hear any squeaks / groans / crunches.

But it was not without remarks on the materiel. For example, in one of the cars, the remote control of the central lock was malfunctioning, and the brake pedal was noticeably heavier and with more free play than the rest. Hard operation of test copies affects?

Despite the lack of steering adjustment for reach and simple-looking seats, finding your “own” fit is easy. Unless you lightly touch the front panel with your right knee - a sin of many more expensive cars.

The dashboard is simple, but pleases with information content, a large glass area of ​​the body provides a good all-round visibility. Everything is fine?

Let's not rush! From the experience of "communication" with VAZ models, we know how the "tonality" of the operation of mechanical boxes can differ: one works louder, the other quieter, but everyone howls to one degree or another. How is it with Datsun? It is impossible to answer, since all the cars on this trip were equipped with an "automatic". By the way, the time-tested 4-speed Jatco hydromechanical box acts as one of these. On the one hand, this is good news, since this box has a decent reputation, on the other ...

The problem is that, unlike the same Kalina, mi-DO is equipped only with an 8-valve VAZ engine, which, with a volume of 1.6 liters, develops only 87 hp. Yes, it is considered elastic and economical, but its union with a 4-speed automatic transmission does not bode well in terms of dynamics, as indicated by the declared acceleration time from standstill to 100 km / h - 14.3 seconds.

But one thing is dry numbers, another is the lively feeling of driving. And they are surprisingly nice! From the place mi-DO breaks unexpectedly briskly, allowing, if desired, a "hot" driver to arrange even a long slip! As the speed increases, the acceleration rate gradually decreases, but in the city there are enough dynamics for the eyes, despite the fact that three people were sitting in our car, and the trunk was occupied by two-thirds. True, the fuel consumption at the same time definitely exceeded 10 l / 100 km ...

But on the track, you can keep within 7, and even 6 liters, if the speedometer needle does not rise above "hundreds". But what is given with some difficulty is overtaking, requiring calculation, and sometimes strong nerves. Here the "machine" makes its contribution. As if relaxing from a comfortable cruising speed, he does not immediately "understand" what the driver wants from him, nervously trampling the "gas" pedal. "Ah? Accelerate? I'll do it now, master!" - this “right now” lasts about a second, after which the box switches to a lower gear, but even in this case, rapid acceleration from a well-loaded engine is not to be expected. In general, mi-DO preaches a measured driving style on the track.

Chassis settings also have it. Banks in corners, by the way, are small, but the sensitivity and "reactivity" of the steering is lacking. Mi-DO does not shine with refined handling, so an active driver, like Kalina, will not be interested.

As far as extreme maneuvers are concerned, the mi-DO proved to be reliable in the moose test. What pleases, the system of exchange rate stability comes into operation quite delicately and in the same way, quite softly, ensures the return of the car to a given trajectory.

Despite the fact that the speed in mi-DO is well felt, in highway modes it turned out to be unexpectedly comfortable: it does not scour the road, it is practically indifferent to the rut, the modified sound insulation provides surprisingly high acoustic comfort for a “state employee”. Well, the smoothness of the ride ...

Suspension - the strongest trump card of this car! In terms of energy intensity, Logan has always been a recognized benchmark among state employees, but, by golly, chassis mi-DO is no worse in this respect, even better in some ways! Unlike Renault, there is no excessive compliance here, therefore, there is less roll in corners, and the buildup on transverse waves is practically nullified. As a result, the Datsun rides on a broken road just as calmly, swallowing all the bumps, but at the same time it is more "collected".

Add an impressive ground clearance of 174 mm - we get a car that will not be much inferior to many front-wheel drive crossovers in terms of cross-country ability.

Alas, in what mi-DO cannot be compared with crossovers, it is in the size of the cabin: there is relatively little space for rear passengers. And if a tall person sits in front ...

Enough modest size it also has a trunk - there's nothing to be done, B-class format! But let's pay tribute to the correct form, large opening and the possibility of transformation, which, if necessary, will improve the cargo qualities of the car.

What is the result? A well-equipped car for its class with an impenetrable suspension and a surprisingly frisky engine, even in combination with the "grandfather's" 4-speed "automatic". It is cheaper than foreign cars Russian assembly, but after all, he himself is of "Russian blood". At the same time, mi-DO not only looks a little different from Lada Kalina, but also differs from it in part driving performance and driving comfort, albeit at the level of small things and nuances.

In Russia, important trump cards in the fight for a buyer are special conditions when buying under a recycling program or through trade-in, as well as an offer for a loan with zero rate. In addition, representatives of the brand focus on a high level of service at low prices. But we have our own realities: of the available sales tools, only leasing, and the only Dutsun dealer so far is located in Gomel, which reduces the attractiveness of the brand for potential buyers in the capital. However, we were promised further development of the dealer network. They also hinted that new engines and transmissions may appear.

In the meantime, the main news is the appearance in Russian car interiors of a limited version of International with contrasting painted bumper covers, a spoiler, door sills, textile carpets with orange edging and some other touches designed to attract 18-25-year-old buyers to the model. Will it work?

travel diary


Nostalgic picture: instead of a manual mode, the Jatco "automatic" has "lower" gears and overdrive. With the latter, by the way, overtaking is easier.

Above the glove compartment, which can accommodate A4 sheets, is an open shelf. Trying to detect the backlight, you will also find a USB flash drive slot.

You can distinguish an expensive Dream version from a simple Trust by fog lights, 15-inch wheels on alloy wheels, body-colored mirrors and door handles.

In the upper window of the instrument cluster, in addition to the engine temperature, you can see a hint from the navigation system.

Chassis - for our roads: high ground clearance, good energy consumption and, presumably, inexpensive repairs.

The on-board computer is controlled by two buttons on the end of the steering column switch. People with big hands complain about the small keys, but the rest will note the ability to "scroll" the menu in any direction.

Mi-DO overcame the scary-looking place effortlessly thanks to the large ground clearance and good tires.

Owner reviews

Impressions from a car worth half a million deteriorated six months later, when rust began to climb on all four doors of the cabin. Following thresholds, today found rust on the inside of the front hood. In general, iron rots earlier than on the Soviet Zhiguli, which began to rot after 3 years of operation.

Video review

The car is worth the money, but only in 2014. The quality has not changed over time, but the price has grown significantly. This car is not my first, there were 2 fours VAZ 2104 and VAZ 21111. Of course, Datsun he-DO is better in terms of comfort, but I haven’t seen worse in assembly and painting. The whole salon rattles, the paint falls off in layers, they are rude in the car dealership and do not accept claims, they blame everything on the owner.

Normal car, for 60,000 km nothing but oil has changed. Auto working in taxi mode all day. I skated the winter with a bang, the winding was without problems, the signaling was native without a car factory, I changed the oil after 10,000 km, I only poured 5/40 synthetics nord myself Belgium.

Kurt, drives a Datsun on-DO 1.6 (87 hp) MT 2015

I have it-DO in the Trust configuration, I took a VAZ 2114 to replace it. I was pleased with the power steering, lighting, trunk volume. The dynamics are good. At the second thousand kilometers, the engine malfunction lamp turned on on the dashboard. Already mileage of 9,000 km, the malfunction did not betray itself. I operate in St. Petersburg, I drive along the Ring Road. It behaves very unstable at speed - it sways noticeably to the left and right. If rutting is present, then you can generally lose control.

The side windows don't go all the way down. The interior mirror is wretched — nothing is visible, you can’t change it for a panoramic one — the sun visors interfere. There is not enough turn signal in the mirrors, the buzzer for turning on the turns is tiring, you have to turn on the turn signal just before the turn, if only to listen to it less. With a sharp acceleration, especially with slipping, the engine can abruptly drop to the minimum speed, which, when overtaking and especially turning left at a traffic light, can cause an accident.

Sergey Fluerar, review about Datsun on-DO 1.6 (87 hp) on the mechanics of 2015

Where can I buy?

I took it in January 2017 in the Dream 1 configuration. It’s quite a worthy device (after the VAZ 15). The box buzzes like everyone else, the brake pads whistle, the stove podglyuchivaet (it blows in the wrong direction in auto mode).

Consumption until the run-in and only the city — 12.5 liters. I liked another feature - foam rubber in the left central deflector - supposedly a technological feature. I also noticed that the taillights fog up in the cold after washing and fog lights. In frosts at -30 degrees, there is not enough effort to open the rear left door, you need to help with your hands.

Review of Datsun on-DO 1.6 mechanics 2016

So far, the impressions are only positive, I have only had a car for 2 weeks, and so far I have dashed off 300 km. There is a running car, and I also get used to it. I can say that the pair of engine and gearbox does not work badly. The climate is very cool: the weather was from +15 to +28, and he works at "5".

Clearance is good, especially on our dead roads. The suspension pleases with a balance of stiffness and softness, it definitely earns on “4”, a kind of average. I'm getting used to the wheel. At Datsun he-DO he is electric. Capacity and permeability will rate a solid "5".
