What brand of engine is used in the FAW Besturn T77?
2 Answers
The engine used in the FAW Besturn T77 is a FAW brand engine, manufactured in China. It is a self-developed engine by China's FAW Group. The engine model used in the FAW Besturn T77 is CA4GB15TD-30, with a maximum horsepower of 169, maximum power of 124KW, maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and maximum torque of 258 N·m. For daily maintenance of the FAW Besturn T77 engine, the following methods can be used: 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 manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the 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 the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass the filter and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, 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 component wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've driven several FAW Besturn cars, and the T77 is equipped with their self-developed CA4GB series engine, probably the 1.2T turbocharged version, branded under FAW Besturn of course. This engine is quite cleverly designed, improved based on joint-venture technology, with an output power ranging between 105 to 145 horsepower. It's powerful enough for daily city commuting and fuel-efficient, with a combined fuel consumption of just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers, even more economical than some Japanese cars. Maintenance is also considerate, with recommendations to check the spark plugs and fuel system every 5,000 kilometers, avoiding waiting until carbon buildup becomes severe. FAW has made significant progress in recent years, greatly improving engine reliability, so you don't have to worry about breakdowns even on long trips. In short, the Besturn T77's engine is a pride of domestic brands, offering high cost-performance and durability.
