Is the GW4C20B engine a joint venture or domestically produced?
2 Answers
The engine model GW4C20B is independently developed by Great Wall Motors and belongs to a domestically produced engine. Models equipped with the GW4C20B engine have a maximum power of 124KW, a maximum torque of 285Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 169. The 2.0T version of the engine has a maximum power of 165KW, a maximum torque of 385Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 224. Daily maintenance of the engine can be performed using the following methods: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area and accelerating engine wear, increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
Seeing you ask about the GW4C20B engine, I must say this is Great Wall's own treasure, purely domestically produced. It's widely used in models like the Haval H6, being a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with reliable power output and decent fuel consumption control. As someone who loves delving into cars, I've researched and found that this is independently developed by Great Wall, not co-produced with foreign partners like joint-venture automakers such as FAW-Toyota. Domestic engines have made significant progress in recent years, and the GW4C20B represents the spirit of self-reliance among Chinese automakers—low maintenance costs and adaptability to local road conditions. I've always believed domestic engines don't need to rely on foreign technology, and Great Wall has proven its capability with this engine, making driving more worry-free and cost-effective. Technically speaking, everything from the cylinder block to the turbo was designed by the domestic team, with well-matched parameters and responsive performance when driving.
