UAZ "Bukhanka" - technical characteristics
Despite the fact that this UAZ model does not have a tachometer on the dashboard, this does not in any way impair the properties of the car. The absence of such a device is completely compensated by the convenient location of the motor, which is located right in the cabin and is located next to the driver’s seat.
If you decide to purchase a car like the UAZ “ Bukhanka ”, technical properties and dimensions should play an important role. They should be the first factor you focus on.
Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption directly depends on the size, weight of the machine and its purpose. The leading position in the title of the most affordable model is occupied by the UAZ 3303. It is widely in demand due to its low fuel costs and technical data. Consumption on the highway will cost the owner 13.2 liters, and in the city - 15.5 per 100 km. It does not have any modifications, unlike the UAZ 390995 with a consumption of 14 liters per 100 km.
There are not so few of these models. If you don’t know the small details and some features, it is difficult to distinguish all the modifications of this model range. Basically, all changes concern the internal filling and small external details. So, UAZ 452 also belongs to this model range, but has nuances. This vehicle is not used for any transportation. Fuel consumption does not exceed 15 liters per 100 km. All modifications of these brands, including UAZ 390945, “tablet” and other variations, fall under this criterion.
In addition to working models, there are cars designed for travel. As a rule, these are vehicles with increased cross-country ability. The UAZ Hunter has earned particular popularity among them. This car can literally do everything. He will overcome any obstacles. Naturally, fuel consumption here is much higher and strictly remains at around 19-20 liters.
There is a similar model: this is the UAZ 31519. Compared to the Hunter, it is slightly inferior to it in technical data. Much depends on the year of manufacture of the car. Modern SUVs, including the UAZ Hunter, consume much less fuel in the combined cycle (13.2 liters). In the city, this car consumes 16.3 liters per 100 km, but driving on the highway significantly reduces this figure to 10.1 liters.
When choosing a car from this series, you need to build on your own preferences and capabilities. After all, many models require considerable gasoline consumption. Therefore, the choice must be made in such a way as to take into account all the basic technical data. Fuel consumption rate plays one of the most important roles.
How to reduce fuel consumption
What affects excessive fuel consumption?
Like other cars in this series, the fuel consumption of the UAZ Bukhanka is quite high and drivers often wonder how to reduce it. Let's look at what affects the gasoline consumption of the UAZ Bukhanka. Initially, it is acceptable, since the front axle is turned off by default. If you turn it on, fuel consumption will increase accordingly. In addition, consumption will increase if:
Other reasons for high fuel consumption
If a UAZ vehicle shows fuel consumption exceeding the stated 13, there may be the following reasons:
UAZ 390995
From the start of production, the UAZ 390995 was equipped with a four-cylinder carburetor engine running on gasoline. The volume of this engine is 2.5 l, power 92 hp. At this time, a 2.7 liter engine is installed on it, developing a power of 112 horsepower. It is paired with a 4- and 5-speed manual transmission.
Reviews of UAZ 390995 fuel consumption per 100 km
- Evgeniy, Dzerzhinsk. I have a UAZ 390995 produced in 2014, 2.7 l, 112 hp. I took it to the salon, where they eliminated the presence of cracks and large gaps. During use, some breakdowns occurred, some were done under warranty, some were done independently. In general, the van is worthwhile, convenient for the countryside. Fuel consumption averages 13 liters.
- Ivan, Kaluga. UAZ 390995 1995, 2.4 l. I bought the car in a “severe” condition, carried out major repairs, fortunately, spare parts are always available. Now I go not only to the city, but also to go fishing in any weather, even in swampy areas I can drive calmly. Consumption is completely different: from 12 to 20 liters.
- Boris, Tver. UAZ 390995 2006, 2.5 l. I understand that in such cars appearance is not the main thing, but so much so! With all its excellent technical qualities, it’s simply a shame to go into the city. And just right for the village. In the city it consumes 15-17 liters, on the highway 10-12 liters of gasoline.
- Maxim, Nizhny Novgorod. I am an avid hunter and fisherman, so the UAZ 390995 is perfectly suited for these purposes - both cross-country ability is at a high level and it has spaciousness. It is not suitable for daily trips around the city due to its gluttony: about 12 liters on the highway, up to 18 liters off-road.
- Sergey, Samara. My UAZ 390995 1983, 2.5 liter carburetor engine. The good news is that it starts in any weather, even in frosts down to -30°. Considering that this is not a car, but a tank on wheels, its consumption is appropriate: 11-19 liters. But he goes everywhere and always.
- Vladimir, Moscow. UAZ 390995, built in 2008, 2.7 l. Works well in hot and cold weather. Of course, warming up takes away excess fuel, but it’s warm inside. I often go fishing, where a warm car is simply necessary. On average, it consumes 15 liters per 100 kilometers.
- Nikolay, Radushnoe. My “Farmer” is 2005, 2.7 manual. We have a large family, if we load a full cabin of people and take cargo, the gasoline consumption is about 13 liters on a country highway. In winter, consumption increases by 5 liters.
The small-sized UAZ Farmer truck is designed to transport cargo weighing up to 1150 kg and 5-7 people. The machine is equipped with an on-board platform and a 2-row cabin, and is used by private agriculture and public utilities. The use of all-wheel drive allows you to deliver repair crews and various loads along country roads and off-road.
Engine parameters
When the engine is idling, you can find out what the actual gasoline consumption is for the UAZ 409. This will help localize the cause of excess fuel consumption. The parameters will be calculated by the on-board computer or by a scanner test. Each class has its own parameters for calculating fuel consumption.
Another important point. Please note that in a warm ZMZ 409 engine, the correct values do not exceed fuel consumption of 1.5 liters per hour. In case of increased flow rate of more than 1.5 l/hour, contact a specialist.
The problem lies in malfunctions of the fuel injection system and engine management system.

Design features
The UAZ 390995 shown in the photo has the additional name “Farmer” due to the specifics of its potential use. However, this off-road vehicle is more of a special-purpose truck designed for transporting people and goods. This machine is equally convenient when operating it both on city streets and on impassable off-road or snow-covered areas.
The structural design of the UAZ 390995 SUV is based on a reinforced frame on which an all-metal body is placed. For boarding and disembarking passengers, as well as loading and unloading operations, the car has three single-leaf side doors and one double-leaf rear door. At the same time, the dimensions of the all-terrain vehicle are presented by the following parameters:
When looking at the photo of the UAZ 390995, it can be noted that the interior design of the SUV allows it to accommodate a driver and six passengers. In addition, there is a cargo compartment that provides the ability to transport up to 450 kg of all kinds of cargo, and the total carrying capacity of the vehicle reaches almost a ton. At the same time, the passenger and cargo compartments are separated from each other by a specially integrated partition with a window.
It should be noted that the engineers of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant made some efforts to make this car with off-road potential more comfortable and cozy, if the performance of the car can be characterized by such concepts. However, in the interior of this all-terrain vehicle there is an easily disassembled compact table, as well as a high-performance heating system that heats the interior quite intensively even in severe frosts.
Fuel consumption UAZ Bukhanka (402, 409) carburetor/injector
Let's answer questions related to pouring oil into various components and assemblies of the UAZ Bukhanka vehicle.
How much oil is poured into the engine of the UAZ Bukhanka? For good engine performance, it is recommended to fill up to 7 liters of semi-synthetic motor oil. Viscosity grade - 10W-40.
When adding oil, check its level with a dipstick. An oil change is carried out every 10,000 kilometers or once a year.
Up to 1 liter of synthetic transmission oil with a viscosity grade of 75W-90 of the GL-4 standard is poured into the gearbox. Replacement is carried out every 45,000 kilometers of the vehicle.
0.7 liters of oil similar to gearbox oil is poured into the “Loaf” transfer case. Replace at 45,000 kilometers.
Mineral hypoid oil (GL-5) with a viscosity of 80W-90 of 0.85 liters is poured into the gearboxes of the front and rear axles. Change the oil every 45,000 kilometers.
Please note that the replacement frequency should be selected based not only on the timing and mileage specified in the recommendations, but also on the condition of the vehicle and its operating conditions.
Minibus modernization
In accordance with its intended purpose, the UAZ Bukhanka initially had all-wheel drive with a 2-speed transfer case, a ground clearance of 220 mm and a ZMZ-402 gasoline engine (it was a modernized model of the GAZ-21 engine). But, after a while, the UAZ minibus was partially improved.
In 1997, the UAZ Bukhanka was modernized and a 2.7-liter ZMZ-409 injection engine was installed.
This model has higher power. Like its predecessor, this engine is coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission. Fuel consumption for a UAZ Bukhanka with a carburetor engine will be different. If there is a carburetor, fuel consumption per 100 km is slightly higher.
In 2011, another modernization of the car took place, it was added:
Euro 4
This is a unified environmental standard that regulates the content of harmful substances in exhaust emissions. Feature: fuel consumption on the UAZ Buhanka 409 is reduced per 100 km with the help of installed special catalytic converters.
This is a sensor system that monitors the speed of rotation of the wheels and, accordingly, the car itself.
Thus, Bukhanka is still used to transport passengers and cargo in areas with difficult terrain, being an all-wheel drive minibus and having excellent maneuverability.
Pros of the car
One of the main advantages of the UAZ-390995 is its versatility. In a relatively small car, the driver, six passengers and 450 kg of transported cargo (placed in an isolated compartment) feel free. A stove with great heat output potential will keep you warm during the cold season. When moving long distances, it is convenient to have lunch at a table located in the interior of the UAZ-390995. And all sorts of design innovations and changes make this car an indispensable comrade, comrade-in-arms and assistant at work, while fishing or hunting, as well as simply during a family trip to the bosom of nature.
Unpretentious in appearance, but very durable and reliable, the “Farmer” combines versatility, coziness, comfort and fearlessness in the face of off-road conditions of any nature.
What you can do yourself
With the problem of high gasoline consumption, it is recommended to contact specialists at a service station. But , you can also improve (reduce) the indicators yourself.
Just follow these tips:
A technical feature of the UAZ car is that it is equipped with 2 tanks. While driving in the first kilometers, you can notice how the fuel level drops sharply, and over time it increases sharply. Why? The system pumps gasoline from the main tank to the secondary tank. There is only one piece of advice here - fill the entire fuel volume of the UAZ tank as much as possible.
By putting all these tips into action, drivers can significantly improve the performance of their vehicle.
Notes
The car's fuel consumption per 100 km is not the norm during operation. It serves to determine the technical condition and wear of the unit. Absolutely accurate and reliable measurement of the amount of fuel consumed can only be ensured when special engine tests are carried out in full compliance with the standards and requirements of GOST 20306-90. Tests of this nature are carried out at a time when the total mileage of the vehicle reaches 9-10 thousand km.
Not every car can become a reliable assistant for use in suburban areas, which is why the UAZ 390995 model is increasingly in demand for these purposes. This off-road vehicle is extremely versatile and also has impressive off-road capabilities. Initially, this machine was designed for farm use and business use outside the city, but it has also found applications in other segments of activity.
Loaf UAZ 452
In 1965, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began production of trucks of the UAZ-451M and UAZ-451DM models, which the country urgently needed for transporting small-volume cargo and passengers with a capacity of up to ten people.
These cars immediately gained popularity among departmental organizations. They also became indispensable assistants to urban and rural police, communications, medicine, and army services.
The disadvantage of this vehicle was their low cross-country ability in off-road conditions, especially in the autumn-spring and winter periods, in rural areas.
Taking this into account, in 1966 UAZ began production of an improved model of the UAZ-452 loaf all-terrain vehicle in the following variants: UAZ-452; UAZ-452A; UAZ-452V; UAZ-452D.
