LDV G10 Australia
The LDV G10 is a mid-sized commercial van range that also incorporates a number of peoplemover derivatives with either seven or nine seats. The van launched in Australia in 2015, and the peoplemover/mini bus followed shortly after.
The G10 range spans from the G10 Lift Door at $32,621 and stretches to the G10 Executive (9 Seat Mpv) at $39,990.
The current G10 range is available with the choice of a turbocharged petrol 2.0-litre engine, or the more popular 1.9-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder. You get the choice of petrol or diesel across both the commercial van and peoplemover ranges.
The LDV brand is also known as Maxus in some markets, but all LDV models - including the G10 van and peoplemover - are built in China by Chinese automotive powerhouse, SAIC Motor.
This vehicle is also known as the Maxus G10.

LDV G10 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the LDV G10 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Why won't my LDV G10 start?
This is possibly a fault with the smart key which not only physically unlocks the car, but also disables the immobiliser and allows the car to start. Have you somehow managed to lock the keys in the car at any stage and retrieved them with the spare key? If so, try the spare key to see if that will now start the car.
I’m told that locking the keys inside the car and opening it with the spare key, will wipe the electronic coding on the first key, meaning that it will no longer unlock all the electronic security measures. You can take the key to a dealership and have it recoded. Perhaps it’s just that the key has failed electronically for no good reason and needs either a new battery or a new key module. Generally speaking, messages like `No VID Found’ suggest that the key is not talking to the car’s body computer. Often it’s the key, but sometimes it can be the body computer itself.

LDV G10 diesel problems
There are so few of these things on the road even now, that it’s difficult to find patterns within the LDV’s reliability record. But a few things have emerged with enough frequency to call them trends. Those start with the electronics and, specifically, the body computer. Some owners have found that the central locking has problems (sometimes traced to a faulty drivers’ door actuator) while others have problems with the entertainment system.
Beyond that, shock absorbers seem to die young and some owners have reported grumbling noises and low-speed jerkiness from the driveline which has been traced back to the rear differential. Some dealers have replaced these units, only for the problem to recur sometime down the track. Overall, the LDV seems to have its problems, but many would-be buyers are prepared to allow for that based on the budget pricing of the LDV range. You get what you pay for…

LDV G10 2016: Does it have a timing chain or belt?
There were three engines offered in the 2016 LDV G10, Brett; a turbo-petrol, a non-turbo petrol and a turbo-diesel. Here’s the answer to all three possibilities: Both the two-litre turbocharged petrol and the turbo-diesel use a timing chain. The 2.4-litre non-turbo petrol engine uses a timing belt.
The timing belt will need replacing at regular intervals while the timing chains should be good for the life of the vehicles they are fitted to.

LDV G10 2016: Blowing white smoke
Service intervals are specified as either/or, it’s whichever comes first. Your service is due in August, or at 30,000 km if that comes first. White smoke would tend to suggest a problem with the turbocharger. Turbochargers have to have clean oil to survive; dirty oil will kill them eventually. You need to negotiate with LDV, if you haven’t missed the service by a long way you might be able to get some help on the cost of repairs; otherwise you’re unlikely to get much assistance.
