Chapter 414 Santana 87
"Santana 87? Stop, stop!" Ge Xiaohua saw the excavator master holding a cigarette and sleepily controlling the excavator's hydraulic manipulator, trying to solve a Santana 87 produced in 1987 with one shovel.
Volkswagen and the country
The first batch of joint venture cars cooperated with China, the Santana 87 was priced at 150,000 at the time. However, because the procedures were very complicated and expensive, it cost about 240,000 to purchase. You must know that in 1987, a job with a similar salary level could cost 150,000 yuan a month.
Only 200 yuan.
It can be seen that the more than 200,000 yuan at that time was equivalent to several million or even tens of millions today. Money was very valuable in that period, and those who could drive Santana were definitely wealthy people.
It is worth mentioning that although this Santana 87 is very old and covered with a thick layer of dust, according to Ge Xiaohua's judgment, the paint is still original, which means that after so many years, this car has basically not had any problems.
In the case of a large-scale accident, there was no sign of full-scale painting, so the internal engine can definitely still be studied in many aspects.
"What happened again?"
"Comrade Xiao Wu, didn't you remember what I said yesterday? You asked me before violently dismantling it. I'll check it first. Leave this car to me. You go and rest first."
Originally he wanted to complain about Ge Xiaohua, but after thinking about what the manager said last night, he knew that Ge Xiaohua had an extraordinary background, so he did not dare to say more. Moreover, Ge Xiaohua threw another pack of cigarettes over, this time the price was around 50, which was considered a good deal.
It's a very high-end cigarette, and he usually only smokes it for about 10 yuan.
"Brother Xiao Hua will do whatever he says. I'll take my time before dismantling the car. You check it first."
Ge Xiaohua came to the front of Santana 87 and saw the excavator about to be hooked 1 meter above his head. He frowned and said, "Xiao Wu, please drive the excavator farther away from me!"
Without the threat of the excavator, Ge Xiaohua could concentrate on checking the condition of the car. Even though this scrapped car has so many years of history, it is excellent in terms of paint, sheet metal, interior materials, and design.
, it is not considered backward now.
"How about the engine of a luxury car from the 1990s?" Ge Xiaohua opened the hood of the car. The heavy dust choked Ge Xiaohua and he couldn't open his eyes. A lot of dust got into his nose. When his eyes regained sight, the engine of this Santana 87 appeared in
in front of him.
"Poussin JV carburetor engine, I just saw it has the tail mark GLS, it should be right. Although this engine has no advantages, it was still good at the time. It is suitable for urban driving. The power is not bad, although it is not enough.
It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, which is why around 2000, all subsequent Santanas were equipped with 1.8L electronic injection engines."
When Ge Xiaohua was in Germany, he studied the history of cars. That month was not in vain. It gave Ge Xiaohua a good atmosphere to understand the history of cars. After all, German cars are famous in the world, and Santana is also produced by the German Volkswagen factory.
Yes, the cooperation with domestic companies is relatively close.
Moreover, Santana is also a classic model from around the 1990s, which can be said to be the memory of a generation.
Ge Xiaohua first understood the mechanical structure of the Santana 87 clearly, and did not rush to disassemble the engine. This scrapped car was different from the sixth-generation Accord yesterday. He had not been greeted by heavy machinery, and it was still in its original state. If it had not reached
After the scrap date, this Santana 87 can still be repaired and put on the road, and it will not be forced to be scrapped.
"The car manufacturing technology of that period was also very powerful. It is said that the factory for this batch of cars was built in Brazil?" Ge Xiaohua knew that as the first batch of Volkswagen Santana 87 to enter the Chinese market, the quality must be strictly controlled, otherwise it would not be possible.
It won't become the luxury car of that era.
Ge Xiaohua was observing Santana 87. The excavator master couldn't wait any longer. Young people don't have much patience.
"Brother Xiaohua, are you okay? The manager is going to say I'm lazy and deduct my salary!"
"Almost, wait."
Ge Xiaohua didn't want to affect other people's work, so he observed for half an hour, and then began to disassemble the engine. He removed Santana's Poussin JV carburetor engine from the car, and then moved it to an exclusive studio for study, while there was a sound outside the door.
There was a loud noise of violent car demolition.
No matter the sky was falling apart outside, Ge Xiaohua remained unmoved and dismantled the Poussin JV carburetor and engine step by step. Every screw was placed neatly. It took nearly 3 hours to dismantle the engine.
After that, Ge Xiaohua had a deeper understanding of this engine, and then compared it with Honda's engine.
"Both of these engines were masterpieces at the time. They both have their merits, but their advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious." Ge Xiaohua habitually touched his chin as if thinking, but did not realize that his hands were full of engine oil, so
His chin was all black, but he didn't care, Ben
As a car repairman, the maintenance technicians are all dirty. The motor oil on their hands has been so dirty for a long time that they cannot be washed away. Therefore, many auto repairmen have difficulty finding wives. This is because women nowadays pay more attention to hygiene.
I think they are too dirty, so I don't want to date them.
In fact, in this day and age, auto mechanics are the most profitable profession! I repair cars and support you. This is not a lie. After all, although everyone does not have a car now, most families will have cars, no matter how big or small they are.
A good car is still an average car. There will always be problems with cars, so auto mechanics are very popular. This is why many auto mechanic apprentices go to work for no salary, just to learn skills and have skills.
There is no need to worry about eating.
Ge Xiaohua was concentrating on studying the engine and was not in the mood to care about whether it was dirty or not. Blacksmithing was more difficult and dirty than now. Among the three major hardships in life, blacksmithing was the first. It can be seen that blacksmithing was more difficult than auto repair, which was also the reason for the decline of blacksmiths.
Ge Xiaohua was familiar with every component and the structure of the engine, and then he put the engine back together. He just knew how to disassemble it but could not assemble it, so he did not understand the structure of the engine, so he spent a lot of time dismantling it every time.
They all installed it, and then moved all two engines out, destroying Xiao Wu's hook machine with a shovel.
Ge Xiaohua benefited a lot from studying two engines from around the 1990s. China's engine technology is about 30 years behind, so the engines in the 1990s are equivalent to the level of Chinese engines now, and the engine level of that period can reach the level of domestic cars today.
The level shows how advanced the technology of Germany and Japan, the two major mechanical powers, was at that time.
"You can't belittle yourself, you can't blame yourself, you can only grit your teeth and catch up!" Ge Xiaohua secretly encouraged himself. At night, he drove back to the blacksmith shop, had a casual meal, and then hid in the room and started designing the basic parameters of the engine and the components.
The structure, characteristics, coefficients, etc. were all drawn, and I started to make a draft of the engine.
There is no progress without doing research. After studying two Volkswagen and Honda engines in the 1990s, Ge Xiaohua came up with new ideas. Combined with his experience as an apprentice at Mercedes-Benz, he conducted a research on the theoretical basis of engine technology in the 1990s.
Brand new engine design.
I stayed up all night and just drew the basic structure of the engine. However, it made Ge Xiaohua feel that it was possible to design an engine. At first, I thought it was very difficult, but actually I disassembled two engines, and added
Chapter completed!
