From Almaty to Petropavlovsk and back - Toyota Corolla Levin, 1.6 liter, 1992

Here came the long-awaited vacation after a six-month resort in Ukraine)) And it occurred to me to go from south to north 2000 km and back on Levin ... In addition to a good run-in after the capital, I can’t find other explanations for this madness)) before leaving, I bought antifreeze, dextron and oils just in case. And he did the right thing, as it turned out. From minor adventures: somewhere under the balkhash, an additional fan from the cooling radiator shattered while the car was at a gas station; behind Astana, the antifreeze drain hose was pulled out of the turbine ((fortunately, there was an overpass very close ... which I naturally couldn’t drive into. I had to call in on one side. I carefully shortened the hose and put it back in place, securing it with a new threaded clamp. if the powder fire extinguisher is not so effective, if the wind blows away part of the contents of the 2 liter bottle… but it was only enough for the collector, and the downpipe was extinguished by half of the 5 liter bottle of beer! )) responsive motorists passing by. For which many thanks to them! Emotions were over the edge! Surprisingly, apart from the insulation of the wire from the oil pressure sensor, nothing was damaged! Except for the fact that all the space under the hood was in powder, and in places where there was oil, a certain substance was formed that vaguely resembled yellow plasticine)) Well, all is well that ends well! Everything was washed, the hose was replaced, almost one and a half liters of oil were added, and Levin was ready to return to Almaty. I had a good time hanging out with the guys from Petropavlovsk, it’s a pity that I didn’t get to the local rides at the airport, then the weather is something else ((. roofing felts the wind carried away part of the contents of the 2 liter cylinder … but it was only enough for the collector, and the downpipe was extinguished by half a 5-liter bottle of beer! )) responsive motorists passing by.

As a result of the trip, the rear pillars were thrown into the trash and the tie rod ends were restored.

About 400 liters of fuel were burned)) One crow, two sparrows and a myriad of other insects suffered! On our side, a small chip on the windshield and a mesh torn off by a sparrow from the grille. That's basically it!
