MOSKVICH IMPROVED
The popularity of the car, its success with customers depend not only on the perfection of the original design, but also largely on how rapidly modernizing its manufacturer, taking into account operating experience, the growing demands of consumers.
Insertion of improvement does not always affect the appearance and can not be assessed at a glance. However, their combination has a significant impact on consumer qualities, the operating parameters. An example is the front-wheel drive vehicles and the modernization of the plant of the Lenin Komsomol, the indices are now receiving AZLK 2141-01, 21412-01 AZLK.
First of all, it should be noted decrease in weight of cars as standard, standardization and optimization of the transmission gear ratios, which helped to improve the dynamic quality and fuel efficiency. Weight reduced by 15 kg. This is achieved by using a lightweight battery that requires no maintenance, thinner glass in side and rear windows (thickness of 3.2 instead of 4.5 mm), as well as single-row radiator cooling system with plastic whiskers. Alleviated some of the details of the body (of course, without prejudice to its strength, which is confirmed by the relevant tests). Plastic fuel tank with a larger 5.5 liter capacity makes it possible to extend the mileage on one filling of about 80 kilometers.
Through the introduction of molded termoshumoizolyatsii, additional housing in the cavity of the exhaust system improved the quality of vibroacoustic and, therefore, comfortable car. The use of shielded spark plugs reduced the level of interference.
The interior is modernized machines use a new seat upholstery from washable fabrics with improved lightfastness. Specially designed for these modifications are made of fabric more durable and wear-resistant fibers that transmit air. Improved shape and characteristics of elastic elements seats in the middle and lateral parts of different hardness. This provides a more comfortable fit, better fixation of the body when exposed to lateral forces. In the interior of the introduced new details of the plastics, expanded its range of colors. It should be noted, and such details as to lift the suspension of a back shelf at opening doors, plastic interior tailgate. Changed the graphic design of control devices, they added the daily count of * run with discharge. Upgraded exterior mirrors that are installed now, not only on the left, but on the right door.
We hope customers will approve and such innovations as energy-absorbing steering column, metalfluoroplastic thrust bearings front suspension struts, installation of which has led to reduction of effort on the steering wheel, increased sensitivity of the steering. Experience has shown that additional holders under the hood, the details for the protection of machinery and equipment. Indicated in the figures, they have now come standard on the machines.
Considering reliability as one of the main operating parameters of the plant experts have developed measures to increase the resource car to 200,000 miles. The changes affected the body structure, powertrain, drives the driving wheels, clutch, chassis components. In some cases, materials were replaced. From January to December 1989 were tested cars with these changes, which is confirmed by the planned life 200,000 miles.
Expanded range of equipment installed at an additional cost. Car Price AZLK 2141-01 and 21412-01 AZLK in base 13 500 rubles.
