Farca on Renault Logan is a necessary part for transportation of various goods. The design features of the car allow you to transport up to 1,200 kilograms. You can make a hook alone, welding it from the available parts, or purchase a ready-made set in a specialized store. We'll figure it out how to install it.
1 What travelery device is suitable for Renault Logan?
Definitely answer the question of which pork is better made by your own hands or purchased in the store cannot be. The first option will save money, as you need only metal, welding machine, pipe bender and fasteners. But the time for the manufacture and installing of the self-made device will be required much more, and the wire connection scheme and fasteners will have to be thought out independently, for which certain knowledge requires and there is no guarantee that fasteners will be reliable.
Industrial production hinge on Renault Logan has a number of advantages, the main thing is that it is thorough load tests before the release, the design of the part is as accurate as possible under a specific machine model (all the characteristics of the car are taken into account). The manufacturer also gives a guarantee on the device, and in the case of the release of the Farkop, before the warranty period, it can be replaced by returning the money spent.
The most popular version of the traction and coupling mechanism, which is easily installed and removed - removable hitch. The price of a standard parchope of this type varies within 4-7 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer's company.
An electric drive hitch most often has a reinforced design. Such details are recommended to be installed on more overall cars. It is designed to transport cargo weighing up to 2000 tons, and its cost will be at least 10 thousand rubles.
The flange hill has from 4 or lower seating, and for installation requires a special landing site and additional tools. It is worth noting that such types of the pardon are found on passenger cars extremely rare.
Today, the most popular prefabricated teams of the Renault Logan are producing such manufacturers like Bosal, Lider Plus, a trailer, as well as Auto-Hak, Imola and Brink-Thule.
2 Factory design and installation with your own hands
The standard kit for the Renault Logan model includes the following details (we consider the example of the company "Trailer"):
- two side plates,
- transverse beam
- trailed mounting mechanism with ball head,
- electrical outlet and wires,
- fasteners (nuts and bolts),
- detailed installation and connection instructions.
To install, you will need to put a car on the observation pit, raise the handbrake and install additional stops under the front wheels. First of all, the transverse beam is mounted, which is attached to the body spars in specially provided holes. Plastic plugs should be pushed and insert the mounting plate bolts in them, you can pre-lubricate the bolts (like washers and nuts). When carrying out work, it is not necessary to remove the bumper.
On the left and right, the bolts ride the mounting plates. Next, install the washers and nuts from the kit, after which you gently tighten two bolts on each side. Tightening them until the stop should not, as you still need to adjust the position of the beam. Next, set the beam and correctly adjust the position of the coupling ball, which should be located strictly along the longitudinal axis of the car. Now install a towing hook on the brackets provided by the design and fix three bolts of the mechanism fastening. Secure the platform for the installation of the socket, once again check all the mounts and tighten them until it stops. Thermal protection can be returned to the place, the mechanical part of the installation of the Farkop has been completed.
3 Connecting an electrical outlet to TSU on Renault Logan
The description of the process and the connection scheme is in detailed instructions in a set of TSU "Trailer". First of all, turn off the battery from the power, removing the minus terminal. Remove the spare wheel and all spare parts from the trunk, under the trim there is a hole for wiring, it is closed by a plastic plug. The loop connects from the plug to the connecting terminals in the trunk according to the onboard circuit of the car, the main thing, do not confuse the colors of the connected wires.
Fix the contacts in the terminal block and connect to the standard onboard network in the correct sequence (right lamp, reverse, overall lights, etc.). It is worth noting that the instruction in the kit is quite detailed and understandable, so there should be no problems with the connection, even at a vehicle car enthusiast. If you do not understand the electrics or do not understand the electrical schemes, it is better to connect a socket in the service, such a procedure is not more than 1000 rubles.
In the event of the need to attract the trailer, the Factory becomes an indispensable attribute of the car, including the Renault Logan model. This item can be made by yourself. The installation of the Farkop will also not cause special difficulties and will not require significant time spending. But for this you need to know how to install the item. There is even a video on this topic.
In most cases, the independent execution of the specified process is much faster than the search and acquisition of the part in the trading network, with the subsequent appeal to the maintenance service. If there are no skills in the use of the grinder and the welding machine, then contact the specialists will be the only and rational measure.
Manufacturing process
You can also use video instructions. As it was noticed, the manufacture and installation of the headquart for cars Renault Logan does not cause special difficulties. For this purpose, we are armed with:
- grinding machine (Bulgarian);
- welding unit;
- attached below drawings (experience in reading them).
Figure 1 presents the overall plan of the product already manufactured.
Drawing in Fig.2. In the role of the base element, the power beam is positioned, by means of which the effort attached to the hook is transformed into body panels.
Fig. 3. The side bracket is depicted, which serves for fastening the main beam to the body.
Fig.4. Next Independent Detail - Hook. It is necessary for the engagement of the trailer. It is possible to make this element from a suitable pipe segment, which is bent to the desired radius using a pipe bending device. At the end to the end of the curved tube, we weld the ball tip.
In the drawing (Fig. 5) we see the flange constructive.
In Fig.6. Showing nuances of cheeks. It helps securely lock the hook on the beam surface.
In the designated drawings you can see the absence of scarce positions. All items are made personally from affordable materials. If you laughed in your own, buy a finished product. This will allow additional confidence in reliability when transporting heavy trailers.
The sale of a hitch is equipped with the entire list of iron parts, a set of fasteners and an electrical part.
How to mount the device?
How to install correctly, step by step? For self-installation of the element on Renault Logan, we set the car on the overpass. The pit is also perfect, and in its absence hanging the rear axle with the help of jacks. In the last embodiment, we resort to the mandatory use of anti-tarto focus.
Tool
For work we use:
- screwdriver with a slotted profile;
- keys with sizes: "8"; "17" and "19".
Before starting assembly manipulations, it will be advisable to release the luggage compartment from uncomfortable things, which will significantly increase the convenience of "operations".
- Remove the muffler's nozzle with rubber suspension. For these purposes, press the muffler housing towards the down, then in the stretched suspension, we detect the hole that appears. In His, we wake a screwdriver, pre-lubricated in solidol, and remove the muffler, putting it later on the beam of the rear axis Renault Logan.
Important! After dismantling the muffler, its landing bracket and a suspension with a special thoroughness cleaned from the traces of solidol, since these elements during the reverse installation must be necessarily dry!
- Next, go inside the trunk Renault Logan. On the inner surface of the "cheeks" we find plastic plugs, which are composed of the technological holes on the surface of the spars. Applying a screwdriver, easily dismantle these items.
- Similar operation repeat under Renault Logan car. From the bottom of the hole is carefully disassembled by factory self-adhesive tape. After its breakthrough, the anti-corrosion processing of the circuits of holes by means of a special means (for example, mastics) will be no means for a screwdriver.
- Now we have a previously indicated power plates on which the power beam is secured.
- We carry out the full tightening of all bolts after 100 percent assembly, it is supposed to be the installation of a headquart. If the design is not independent manufacturing, but purchased, then it is installed in accordance with the algorithm designated in the attached instruction.
- The electrical circuit is not complicated, so its installation does not cause any difficulty. For an error-free wiring, it will be enough to resort to the disassembly of the left head of the stern in order to study the features of switching. From the indicated headlight, you can withdraw cables for connecting lamps: dimensions, brakes and left rotation.
- Connecting the right rotation pointer to be implemented by switching with the right-headed car.
Now you know how to install a hitch. If the hill is mounted, produced in the conditions of an industrial enterprise, on the Renault Logan car, it is recommended that it is recommended that you do not fasten the outlet to it for switching trailed electrical equipment. After all, the need for it occurs only during towing. In all other cases, it is at risk of mechanical damage. A more optimal and secure measure will connect the socket to the onboard network by the elongated cable segment with the location in the luggage compartment. Fix it on a regular place is recommended if necessary. Do not fear for deformation of the wire by the luggage lid, because even in the closed state, there is plenty of the reserve of the place for pulling the cable.
Products of French producers Against the background of the rest of the global automotive market, have always been capricious during operation and a high cost of maintenance. Citroen and Peugeot require much more material investments than Japanese or Korean machines of a similar class. Renault designers decided to move away from this unpleasant tradition and developed in 2004-2007 a car of a folk type Renault Logan. A wide range of ordinary car enthusiasts from France and, especially, Eastern Europe, a novelty immediately accounted for. It seemed that French producers thought out all the options necessary for comfortable operation, but something was missing something. For a folk car, a complete functional load is important, refers to the carriage of a sufficient amount of payload. This contributes to the presence of a headquart.
Only 10% of French-made cars are equipped with this useful adaptation in the factory. Therefore, most motorists have to be engaged in its installation at almost at home, which is not submitted for the driver with an experience of an insoluble task. If there is a tool and free time, this procedure will take no more than 2.5 hours.
It should be remembered that the modification of the body of the car on the process of installing the Farkop almost did not affect. Design changes did not touch this zone. Experts recommend using the Hard bar of the Ukrainian company VASTOL as the most affordable pricing policy. It is applied since 2005. It must be borne in mind that the new body modification does not provide for the installation of the backbone removal of the rear bumper and the propellers of the holes in the body. The kit of the trailer device is equipped with everything necessary, and the mount is made in the holes prepared at the manufacturer.
Types and types of hooks for various car models
The device is a combination of the fastener and directly the hook for fixing the trailer. It is manufactured from various materials, although most Renault owners prefer chrome steel as a means to improve the appearance of the machine.
All headquarks are produced by the manufacturer under a specific car model. Fasteners are divided into several species, depending on the design features and operating conditions:
- Option A - serves to transport the trailer with a complete mass of no more than 1,500 kg. It is the easiest of construction.
- An option B is a load capacity without changes, a semiautomatic device on the nut is used in the design.
- Option C - allows you to increase the payload of up to 1.8 tons, use semiautomatic in the Eccentric.
- Variants F and G are used for transportation of 2000 kg of cargo, have an ironist-adhesive structure and differ in the number of holes for fasteners to the body.
Trailed hitch assembled from Vastol
After the purchase of the Farkop should prepare a workplace. Fully free the space of the trunk, prepare the surface of the body and conduct an outdoor inspection of the electrical trunk system.
The next stage of the work becomes an assembly of a design from the set in the set of parts and the hindrance of fastening nuts, then produce the final tightening: it is carried out after the Farkop takes its place on the body. To do this, it is necessary to free the factory holes from the factory caps. Fastening bolts are inserted into the freedes and pre-naked nuts are tightened.
At the end of the technical part of the work, the electrical wires are connected and the collection of a rosette of the Farkopa is carried out, according to the instructions attached to the set. The correct and clear operation of the trailer turn signals is confirmed by the correctness of the transportation device assembly.
Question price
The price of headquarters in retail sale is quite democratic. In the automotive stores of Ukraine, for example, it ranges from 1300 to 2000 hryvnia, depending on the materials used and manufacturers. For the Russian car enthusiast, prices will fluctuate more, which is associated with the logistics of the delivery of goods in various regions of Russia. This applies to the above-mentioned model of the VASTOL. The consumer is free to acquire any other brand.
Fargroup Installation Video Guide
Vehicle owners who do not have a trailer device will be relatively difficult in some situations. If there is no own truck in the garage and there is no possibility to order transport services, you will need to install and connect such a device as a hitch. You can do this both by helping professionals and independently. Before highlighting the question, how to make the process of installing this device, it is worth dealing with what the pharkop represents and for what purposes it is used.
Why requires a hitch?
Quite often, in ordinary life, it is necessary to engage in the carriage of such a cargo that does not fit into its parameters and size in the trunk or car interior. These can be a variety of building materials or large, oversized acquisitions.
To place such things and purchases, you will need a mini-trailer, which will ideally enter what you need to transport from one place to another. It is possible to include all, ranging from the potato bag and ending with the concrete mixer.
To connect such a trailer, it will be required space for a special traction device. For the reason that not all modern vehicles have them, it is often necessary to independently acquire the necessary parts and make such a process as the installation of the headquart.
Do yourself or buy ready?
Such a device can be purchased in a specialized store or make yourself. Despite the fact that the last option will save a lot of material resources, many prefer to buy a ready-made version from well-known manufacturers. This is based on certain advantages:
- In the process of designing the device, a special computer model is formed, by means of which one can determine the likely load on the main mounts.
- The headquard, which is produced at the factory, is a large number of various technical inspections before the realization step, and throughout the entire manufacturing process. Checks are also carried out in a separate department of management.
- The manufacturer, as a rule, is fully responsible for its products and gives a guarantee that is usually documented. If an unexpected situation occurs, the client can contact the company that produced and installed the device and get some help.
It is recommended not just to acquire a clutch from a well-known manufacturer, but also to order its installation from the company employees. If you install a hopper with your own hands, and after it for some reason fails, it is not necessary to count on its warranty repair.
Independent installation of landarkop
To install a pardon without the help of car service services, it is worth allocating for about two or three hours and find a place to install. The ideal option will be a garage in which there is a special observation pit that will allow without any problems to carry out all the required work.
If you have to purchase a ready-made hitch, you can be sure that the package will include all the plates of metal, sleeves, as well as sockets and wires. If this is not, you will have to purchase similar details yourself.
For high-quality installation of the device, the following items and tools will be required:
- himself hopper;
- necessary attachments;
- wiring;
- the desired diameter of the drill;
- spanners;
- tool for removing the automotive bumper.
There are such models of cars, where the removal of the bumper is not required, it all depends on the design features.
For pre-work, you can attribute the markup of the places where it will be necessary to make the holes for fastening, for this uses a regular marker. To obtain high-quality holes, you need to use a slightly larger diameter drill than the bolts used.
Important! In order to avoid destructive corrosion, the places where the holes are drilled are processed by a special anticorros. Only after that the hitch is screwed.
Regarding the mounting of the Farkop, everything is clear, there is the main thing to follow a specific instruction. The connection of a special electrical circuit for the trailer of the passenger vehicle, speaking special attention, is the connection of the pharg contacts.
Connecting Farkopa
For the reason that the trailer that joins the car must necessarily transmit all the signals similar to the vehicle, its electrical wiring is required to be connected to the automotive.
Usually, a special platform is attached to the design of the headquart, to which the contact connector is mounted from a variety of external influences. To connect a passenger trailer, only 6-7 of the 13 connectors present are very often applied. For trailers, which are manufactured in Russia, as a rule, special 7-slot outlets are installed.
Important! Before connecting, it is necessary to carefully deal with all the views of the plugs. It is worth considering the question regarding which contacts for which connector are answered. It is necessary to determine all the target tasks of each of the contacts that are intended for different plugs.
As a rule, the acquired hitch has a special instruction regarding the connection. If you withstand polarity and follow the basic rules of connection, there will be no problems with this process. With competent connection, all the trailer lamps will repeat the signals running from the car.
The popularity of such an important shipping device is becoming more important. It is indispensable for the effective attachment of the trap mechanism used for towing a different vehicle. Install and connect a hitch is nothing complicated. It suffices to follow a specific instruction and the tips set out in this article.
An example of installing a headquart on Renault Logan (video)
When the machine is used only for riding in the city, for products or to work problems with a disadvantage of free space in the car does not occur. But if the PBX is operated for business or household needs (trips to the country, moving, and so on), then the standard luggage compartment becomes not enough for the transport of large-sized goods. There is no point in buying a truck for these purposes, because the passenger cars are popular today, among which Renault Logan enters, you can equip a trailer and tow the trailer.
By the way, it is worth saying that the suspension on Logan is installed "good", so the difficult country roads are not terrible. It remains only to choose the same reliable and high-quality chain.
What a hitch is suitable for Logan
It is worth saying right to say that TSS is a model product, so if you are the owner of Renault Logan 2, then you need to buy a hitch to Logan 2. The benefit for these cars has an original kit with the following articles:
- 8201555829 - Original crossing for new Logan;
- 8201555830 and 8201278652 - the original set of fasteners and electricians.
You can also choose the most appropriate model according to TSU. Today there are several categories of hitch, differing in the design and maximum mass of the cargo transported. For Renault Logan, the simplest device of the type "A" is most suitable, designed for shipping, whose weight is not more than 1.5 tons. Such a model will cost about 3,500 - 5,000 rubles. The type "B" is a semi-automatic on the nut, while the carrying capacity of such a TSU will also be 1.5 tons. The rest of the models are designed for greater weight of the cargo, they are an order of magnitude more expensive and installed such parchchas inexpediently.
Useful! TsSU for Renault Logan, released from 2004 to 2012 and models under 2013 differ significantly in design.
If we talk about manufacturers, the prefabricated sets for this machine today offer companies:
- Bosal.
- Leader.
- Imola.
- Brink (Thule).
- Trailer.
Many prefer to make a hitch on Renault Logan with their own hands, whose drawings we will look at more.
How to make a hitch for Logan
Making a hook independently easy, the main thing is to be able to use the drawings and that you have a welding machine and Bulgarian at your hand.
At first it is necessary to make the main part of the future Pardarka - the power beam, which will transmit effort from the hook to the PBX body.
Then the side bracket is made. This detail will consolidate the power beam on the car body.
The next step is a towing hook to which the trailer will be cling. Usually this item is made of trimming pipes that need to bend the pipe bend. After that the ball is welded to the hook.
Guided by the above drawings, you can easily make a hitch alone. After that, no matter what you bought a TSU or made it with your own hands, the product must be installed.
How to install Pharkop
The standard set of the Farkop includes everything you need, you can only armonize with a cross-shaped and flat screwdriver, as well as precipitated and end keys. After that, it is necessary to drive the car on the flight or pit. Although Logan clearance allows you to use and bricks, with the help of which you raise the back of the car slightly.
Carefully read, running in the set scheme if you install the ready TSU.
After that, free the trunk from unnecessary trash, especially on the sides, and follow these steps:
- Remove the silencer suspension, starting from the middle of the machine and ending with the elements located at the "Glushaka himself". For details easily removed, use any lubricant.
- Disconnect the muffler, leaving it on the back of the beam.
- Find on the spars in the trunk the technological holes provided by the manufacturer and pull out the plugs from them. To do this, it is enough to pry them with a flat screwdriver.
- Find holes in the side member, which are hidden under the protective film. Using a cruciform screwdriver, squeeze them inside the trunk, it is easier to break through the film. Repeat the procedure from the opposite side.
- Collect the hook, starting with the side plates to which the central transverse beam is attached. At the same time, do not tighten the bolts too much.
- Adjust the bowl position. This element should be only along the longitudinal axis of the machine.
- Install towing hook.
- Install the platform provided for the outlet.
- Make sure everything is installed smoothly, after which you can safely tighten the bolts.
After that, you can return the silencer to the place. However, it is necessary to wipe the body to clean them from lubrication and other materials.
It remains only to connect the rosette of the headquart.
Connecting electricians
Some car owners prefer to use a socket only at the time of direct trailer transportation. This is due to the fact that when driving around rough terrain or with "unsuccessful" parking, this element suffers primarily. A socket can be connected to a used car and remove into the trunk.
Useful! Disconnect the car bar before connecting the rosette. To do this, it is enough just to remove the minus terminal.
To connect to the automotive network you only need to spend the power outlet from the TSU itself to one of the rear headlights. The electrical is connected according to the following scheme.
These are standard connectors for 7 contacts for passenger trailers, but there are also models on 13 pins, which are most often used when transporting trailers. If the pinout is different, it is better not to wise and buy an adapter.
In custody
Installing a pharg for Renault Logan will not be difficult, as well as the independent manufacture of the design of the traction-hitch. This car is able to transport fairly overall loads, but it is not necessary to forget about high-speed limitations (no more than 80 km / h) and the correct location of things that are transported.
