CVT life and wear risk vary significantly depending on the vehicle and driving style. Vadim Strelbitsky, director of the mechanical repair department of Avilon Kia, told socialbites.ca. There are also several nodes that fail most often.
“The most common CVT failures include transmission oil leak, belt wear, bevel pulley failure and bearing damage,” Strelbitsky said.
Relatively minor malfunctions (such as minor fluid leaks or belt wear) will appear on average at a mileage of 50 to 150 thousand km. The most serious problems (failure of tapered pulleys or damage to bearings) occur at mileage of 100-150 thousand km. And major repairs or replacement of the shifter are often required after a mileage of more than 200 thousand km.
The expert said that with proper maintenance and careful operation, the average service life of a shifter ranges from 150 to 250 thousand km.
The expert warned that driving style can shorten the service life of this type of transmission: in case of sharp accelerations, towing heavy loads and frequent driving at high speeds.

In order for a car turbine to last a long time, the engine oil change interval must be shortened. In this respect reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” refers to Roman Timashov, after-sales service manager of Avtodom Altufyevo.
“The main recommendation to extend the life of the engine turbo is to reduce engine oil change intervals by 30-50%, that is, change the oil every 7-10 thousand km. It is important that the oil is of high quality and meets the manufacturer’s requirements,” said Timashov.
According to the expert, you need to change the air filter every 15 thousand km, not every 30 thousand km. The third way is to keep the radiators clean so that the turbine does not overheat.
The expert also said that the main action that prolongs the operation of the turbine is a measured, calm ride until the engine reaches operating temperature.
Additionally, Timashov recommended allowing the engine to run after heavy driving to allow the turbine to cool.
Previously, Vadim Strelbitsky, director of the mechanical repair department of Avilon Kia warned from using AI-92 gasoline in a car with a turbo engine.
According to him, turbo engines have a higher compression ratio than naturally aspirated engines, making them more prone to detonation, i.e. premature ignition of fuel during the compression cycle. AI-92 gasoline is more prone to explosion than AI-95 and AI-98. As a result, the use of low-octane fuel leads to a decrease in the power and service life of the power unit.
In turbocharged engines, detonation can cause serious problems such as damage to the pistons, cylinder block, valves and turbocharger.
