What are the reasons for the failure of Roewe R5?
3 Answers
Roewe R5 may experience failures due to: poor gasoline quality, damaged or loose oxygen sensor or sensor connector, engine knocking, unclean engine cylinder interior, accumulated carbon deposits, etc. The specific cause depends on which warning light is illuminated. It is recommended to use a diagnostic computer to read the fault code in order to identify the faulty component and the cause of the failure. Roewe R5: The Roewe R5 is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand, with dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Power: The Roewe R5 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models, with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm.
I've been driving for ten years, and the common faults of the Roewe R5 are mostly in the mechanical parts. For example, the engine shakes violently when starting, which might be due to carbon buildup on the spark plugs or clutch disc wear. Sometimes, the transmission shifts roughly with annoying creaking sounds. Oil leakage is also a recurring issue—last time, I had an oil seepage problem, and it turned out to be a worn-out gasket, costing me nearly a thousand to fix. Frequent battery drain is another problem, especially in winter when the car sits for a while and won't start. I recommend regular maintenance, checking the oil lines and drivetrain every 6,000 kilometers, and using a high-quality lubricant to prevent many issues.
My buddy's Roewe R5 keeps having old issues, with the electronic system constantly acting up. The battery often drains, the dashboard flickers during ignition, and sometimes the central control screen goes black and reboots. It's probably due to unstable ECU or dirty sensors, and we've had to push-start it several times. Once after rain, the headlights wouldn't turn on due to a short circuit, and the mechanic said it was a loose connector. It gets worse in hot weather—the AC blows intermittently, most likely because of an aging battery. Needs a software update at the shop, and better avoid leaving it exposed outdoors.
