Upon arriving at the repair shop in the morning, I saw a blue Haval SUV lifted up on the jack. After asking the mechanic, I learned it was for engine maintenance, with the owner watching nearby the whole time.
The car owner said the vehicle had been driven for over four years without any repairs, with regular engine maintenance, and the quality was excellent, though the car's name made me quite awkward. I replied, "The name shouldn't really be embarrassing, right?".
The car owner pointed to the left side of the rear door and said, "Look at the car name 'Haval First Love'—doesn't that seem a bit strange? I can't even introduce it to others. If it weren't for the hassle, I would have already removed 'First Love.' What do you think, fellow car enthusiast?"?
Opening the engine hood, you can see that there is a lot of dust inside the cabin, but there is no other situation, no signs of oil or water leakage, as shown in the following picture.
Remove the upper cover of the engine and check the condition of the engine. The model is GW4G15K, a 1.5-liter turbocharged, 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission.
All four tires are original factory tires with the same production date, all produced in 2021. The inner and outer sides of the tires were inspected and found to be normal.
Looking at the tread again, the pattern is still very deep, with only a few small cracks, which is caused by the aging of the rubber of the tire and does not affect its use temporarily.
Raise the car to look at the chassis. The engine and gearbox are covered with felt shields at the bottom, and there are holes reserved for the corresponding positions of the oil drain screw and oil filter element.
Looking at the rear of the engine through the subframe, it is basically in a new car condition. The owner said that they usually keep the car in the garage and drive on highways more often.
The front part is a MacPherson independent suspension, the lower arm is made of single-layer stamped steel plate material, and the middle position is welded with double-layer steel plate. The condition of each component is checked to be normal.
Looking at the middle part of the chassis, there are aluminum alloy heat insulation tiles between the exhaust pipe and the body, and there is chassis armor protection on both sides of the body, with no signs of rust.
Looking at the rear of the chassis, there is a torsion beam non independent suspension, with a 55 liter fuel tank at the front of the suspension and insulation tiles between it and the exhaust pipe.
Overall, the condition of this 2021 Haval First Love car is indeed very good, basically still in a new car condition. On the one hand, it shows that the owner takes good care of the car, and on the other hand, it also indicates that the quality of the car is indeed good.
