Toyota Avensis 250 Body characteristics. Toyota Avensis T250 - Business class for little money. Engine and transmission

Points all cars - front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can also be not afraid, everything, like the "Rafa", but they are extremely rare. In addition, it is exclusively sedans with not too powerful motors. At the same time, Avensis is one of the few cars that have more problems with MCPs than with "automata".

Avensis has one interesting feature. All cars with "stock" motor drives break rarely. Sometimes there are shortcuts, the slots of the drive cuts off. But so that the "stick" of the actuator broke in pressure - it happens only at Toyota. The reason lies in corrosion parts under the lining-cargo. Corrosion sharpens the already lightweight shaft, and when driving irregularities with a pull or slip, this shaft breaks down. Fortunately, contract details will be helped with Toyota Wish in the ZNE10G body. Suitable from Fielder in the body 123: it is inexpensive, and the status of the part is usually excellent. It is only new to buy the original, all the "favor" to one degree or another affects corrosion. The same details will be useful at the failure of the original shruses, which are also pretty cloth here.

As I said, there are enough problems with MCPP. Basically brings the bearing of the secondary shaft per number 90903-63010, more precisely, its "ancestor" 90080-36139. But also arise difficulties with oil leaks through the glands of the shafts. Unfortunately, if you do not go to the service at the very same suspicious noise, there will be nothing to repair: the remains of the murdered bearing will go swimming along the box, putting out the remaining bearings, gears and finally differential. From which machines fit boxes can guess if you have read the paragraph about drives and shruses. Original with AVensis is again rather deficit.

In principle, the price of repair in any case will not be too big. What contract boxes are that small repairs are inexpensive, within 15-40 thousand rubles with work. But already somehow a bit turns out problems for a reliable brand, right?

If you do not want difficulties, you can take a machine with automatic transmission. With little care, there will be no problems, especially since the oil here on the regulations change quite often, at the boxes good system Cooling and conservative settings. With 1.8 liters, the U341E works mainly, and the two-liter is the stronger U140 / U241E. But the motor volume of 2.4 liters relies the five-speed automatic transmission series U151E.

All automatic transmissions are considered almost eternal. In any case, they are more reliable than motors and in normal service will be far over 300 thousand kilometers. They have little wear lining GDT blocking, they have a good and strong mechanic. But, unfortunately, everything can be broken.

Four-stage U140 / U241 - Strong boxes, withstand motors up to three liters of working volume. Two-liter for them is not a problem at all. But the front planetary series due to the characteristics of the lubrication system always fails before the rest of the elements, especially if the driver did not regret the box and the engine.

From purely resource problems you can find wear of the back cover, which also depends on the loads and driving style, but also does not forgive and contaminated oil. After wearing the rear cap, the pressure leakage finishes the Package Package "Direct" and the landing place of his drum. Well, of course, in the boxes exploited with dirty oil usually fails the soil of the oil pump or the oil pump itself.

Much more often "first bell" manifests itself in the form of failures in the work of the hydroblock. His problems are directly related to the wear of the mechanics of the box and the pollution of the oil. Usually the main problem is pollution and erosion of solenoid channels. For their repair, there are sets of recovery from Sonnax, but most often "favorite" hydroblocks are simply selected: it is enough for the details, and repair requires a high production culture, as a result, not all workshops.

U341E boxes are the same U140 in miniature. They have exactly the same difficulties with the overload of the front planetary transmission and with the rear lid. But the hydraulicock is somewhat more reliable and the hassle is less. Their resource is exactly no less than the older brother, so you can take boldly. Just check the cleanliness of the oil and listen at low speeds, there is no "trolleybus" sound on the first second transmissions.

The five-speed U151E is designed for more aggressive driving. In many ways it is similar to four-stage boxes, but with their own characteristics.

Locking Locks GDT here wear enough quickly, especially with an aggressive driving style. After 150 thousand mileage, it is necessary to carefully monitor oil pollution to prevent them from "triggering" to the adhesive layer.

Friction package Forward is significantly overloaded and very sensitive to pressure loss. And they happen for the same reasons as in four-stage fellow: mainly due to the wear of the back cover and the coolant seals of the striker package.

Significantly more often you can meet the destruction of the needle bearing of the lid. But the planetary transmissions are loaded more evenly, and problems with them happen less often.

The hydraulicock was also more sensitive to pollution and more expensive in recovery than four-stage boxes. The box requires more careful maintenance, but it is better to withstand elevated loads from "riders".

It is significantly more expensive in repair. But her limit resource is still high, simply the conditions for its achievement is noticeably tougher. Change the oil more often, it is best to 30 thousand kilometers, and watch it clean. And there would be a major external radiator and an external filter of the box, as well as on other five-speed AISIN boxes.

Motors

Toyota motors are considered one of the most reliable. True, a lot of Baek is connected with the 1zz series motors, as well as with the direct injection D4. And not all these bikes are a lie. To the company's credit it must be said that in any case, the layout solutions and the quality of manufacture are very high, and other brands have something to learn. But there is no legendary reliability here and in risen. Especially since catalysts, exhaust, supports, cooling systems, and even wiring are already included at the time of withering, complicating and reducing the lives of motors.

The most common AVENSIS engine is a 1,8-liter 1zz-Fe series. There is a lot of gracious words about him. Now it is obvious that the real problems of the motor - it is unsuccessful piston group Until 2005, a small resource of the timing chain, the lack of repair sizes and the lack of full valve saddles in the GBC.

Timing chain 2AZ-Fe 2.4

Also turned out to be very sensitive to overheating, the lightweight block of cylinders is very sensitive that in the medium of Tyotovodov even caused serious condemnation of the designs of Open-Deck as a whole.

The situation is noticeably improved by a reliable management system, inexpensive spare parts and its prevalence. In addition, there are cast iron sleeves, which are damaged only with long-term operation with fixed rings. In the extreme case, the sleeve is cut and the engine is anew. True, the continuine design of the block makes this operation quite complicated.

Having bought a killed unit, you find out that there are no repair dimensions, and if there are cracks on the valves, and they are killed by "killed", then you will be offered to immediately change the GBC: there are no classic cast-iron saddles.

Valve's glands are weakly sitting, and the high temperature of the GBC reduces their service life up to four to five years.

But the chain is relatively inexpensive and simple in replacement - only a little more expensive than the replacement of the belt.

The main complaint to the motor is a tendency to the oil appetite. And in general, he is not as reliable, as expected from him (this is sarcasm). But, as they say, these are your expectations and your problems. In many owners, these motors drove 250-350 thousand kilometers without overhaul, and therefore the potential at the motor is not bad. With a new or modified piston group (some owners simply drill holes for draining oil from the oil-circuit ring or change it to a wider set), after a neat assembly and with a replaced catalyst, the motor can pass a couple of hundred thousand kilometers. But for this, it will have to maintain it on time and prevent overheating of oil in the installation of the "Protection" installation and long-term work on idling With air conditioning included. In extreme cases, buy a contract unit is very cheap. Practically at the price of metal.

On Avensis T250, you can meet the motor copies with the pistons of the "problem" series 13101-22031 with a temperate oil appetite, which, with the slightest overheating or unsuccessful choice of oil, strives to grow into serious. Everyone recommended "Upgrade" to 13101-22032 or with the possibility of even 13101-22140 / 13101-22142 / 13101-22180. In the risk area there are cars up to 2006 model year. But it is also not worth counting on the complete lack of problems in more fresh motors: the problem was integrated, and the manufacturer tried to decide it until the end of the release of this series of engines in 2013.

"Little-term" versions of this 3ZZ-FE series of 1.6 liters inherit mainly positive traits Motor 1.8 liters. Oil appetite is less pronounced and manifests itself mainly after runs for 250 thousand, the GBC works more reliable, and even the chain walks longer. But there are machines with this engine extremely rarely and in very simple equipment.

The two-liter 1AZ-FE motor is traditionally considered more reliable than the 1.8-liter. And therefore many willingly overpay for a more powerful modification. However, it was not without several "but".

European machines relied the motor not only with the usual distributed injection, but also with the immediate injection 1AZ-FSE. His fuel apparatus It is distinguished by a marked higher price, increased complexity in diagnosis and frankly bad start-up qualities in winter. In addition, these motors have in short trips and in winter Noticeably increases the production of the cylinder at the top due to the fall of a large amount of gasoline.

Early series of motors, up to restyling 2006, are very prone to "pulling" threads gBC bolts. From the block, and therefore the wizard is extremely reluctant to be repaired. And if the antifreeze is already drunk, and the motor managed to overheat, then the block with a high probability will have to be replaced.

In principle, there are no unreserved problems in engines in this series, especially if the injection is commonly distributed, and if you wish, you can even repair the cylinder block, but when buying you need to know about these features. In addition, engines are two catalysts and four lambdes, they are distinguished by the inclined to elevated nagara formation in the intake manifold. And FSE versions suffer from very serious nagar on the valves. The repair dimensions of the piston group are also absent. If briefly, then the 1AZ motors after 2006 are really quite "Toyotovsky" in reliability, but only with the usual injection. Otherwise, you need to be prepared for surprises.

Undoubted advantages should be attributed to a good piston group resource.

Motors of the 2AZ-Fe and 2AZ-FSE series repeat 1AZ, but with a thread of the cylinder block there are no problems here, but balanced shafts have been added. The resource of the piston group on average is even slightly higher, and in general it is the most reliable motor Fe version on Avensis. But he is the most rare.

Diesel motors are rarely found, but there are many problems with them. This is clearly not Toyota. Leave them to European users.

Summary

I think now it is clear why Avensis is not as popular as Camry. Mark pulls the price upwards, and the real reliability and legendary "unhappiness" is not here. And the difference in the price with a larger Camry has practically absent. But the larger car was equipped with much more interesting power units and was generally more reliable ...

Rare motors 1.6 3ZZ-FE (110 hp) and the most popular 1.8 - 1zz-Fe (129 hp) until 2005 suffered from problems with the maslip. Toyota clearly unfortunately picked up the piston rings, but over time, this problem eliminated. Most of the earlier Avensis motors are already capital, however, the quality of these repairs remains in question. The difficulty of recovering the killed options is exacerbated by the fact that there are no repair sizes of the pistons, and there is no shower of the valves, they adjacent directly to the GBC, so in the case of critical wear, the block needs to be guilized, and the "head" changes assembly.
- The timing chain on zz-motors has an unpredictable resource, but you can focus on the figure of 120-150, while listening to outside sounds on the cold.
- Hydrokompensers are also not, so once in 100 thousand, prepare money on the selection of pushers in height and adjustment by them thermal clearance In the valve mechanism.
- On AZ-engines, the problem of the masselet is not characteristic and the chain goes longer - on average 200 and more than thousands, although it will not call it eternal either. This also applies to 2.0 (1AZ-FE / 1AZ-FSE 147-155 hp), and 2.4 (2AZ-FE / 2AZ-FSE 163 hp).
- Two-liter engines had another problem with spontaneously unscrewed bolts of cylinder cylinder bolts. So if you see leak from under the "head", but about the repair with a strengthening of the thread (this was done, including the guarantee), the owner knows nothing, the replacement of the gasket may not do.
- The main trouble is that most of the "older" motors are here with the direct injection D4. The cost of the pump and nozzles are large, with a cold launch problem, the valves are fasterly covered by Nagar, and in the case of frequent trips for short distances in winter, without warming, the top of the cylinders suffers from the lack of lubricant. In general, as already mentioned, it is worth looking for an option with a distributed injection.
- Diesels are presented in two series: 1CD-FTV belt engine (2.0 116 hp), as well as three chains - 1ad-FTV (2.0 124 hp), 2AD-FTV (2.2, 150 hp) and 2AD-FHV (2.2 173 hp), and the last - with expensive piezoelectric nozzles instead of electromagnetic and cunning system of multistage purification of the exhaust D-Cat. As already mentioned, it is not necessary to bind to diesel engines. high cost Fuel system components.
- In addition to standard problems, 1CD-FTV also has a clearly overestimated regulations for replacing the timing belt. 150 thousand he is not always groaning - it is better to reduce it, and two times.
- Motors of the AD series have a different problem - too aggressive mode of operation EGR, which dosed so much exhaust to the inlet that the nagaro formation exceeded all expectations. Cleaning EGR should occur here at each then. Additionally, the AD-motors are also famous for a weak gasket of the GBC - watch the leaks of antifreeze.

Toyota Avensis of the second generation received the factory index T250. On the car market Avensis came out in 2003, where he lasted until 2008. He was going to three body versions: sedan, wagon and hatchback. In 2006, the model was subjected to insignificant restyling. Avensis enjoyed good popularity, largely due to an attractive appearance, a spacious salon, good chassis, high security and ... reliability. Although with the last not all smoothly - there are serious reservations.

Engines

Atmospheric could be installed under the hood gasoline engines The working volume of 1.6 l with a capacity of 110 hp (very rarely found), 1.8 liters - 129 hp (1 zz-Fe), 2.0 l - 147 hp (1AZ-FE) and 2.4 l - 163 hp (2AZ-FSE). Also in the range of engines there were and diesel units working capacity of 2.0 l with a capacity of 116 and 126 hp and 2.2 l with a capacity of 148 and 175 hp

Many owners of Toyota Avensis with petrol engines Notes a tangible vibration of the engine operating at idle - after 50-100 thousand km. Sometimes the "pillows" of the engine become fault. But in most cases, it is not possible to establish the cause of vibrations. The owners are resorted to cleaning throttle valve, replacing candles, ignition coils, someone tries to "alter" the engine setup program. But everything is in vain.

The most popular 1.8 liter engine was with serious flaws. Motors collected until May 2005 had a large "oil appetite" due to the constructive miscalculation. Oil consumption could reach 1 liter per 1000 km, which will agree not enough. After the design of the pistons and the oil dialing rings was finalized, and the disease was cured. You can temper the appetite of the voracious motors after the "Capitals", replacing the rings and pistons. The cost of such a repair is about 35-40 thousand rubles. Another unpleasant situation is found with these engines - jackets of connecting rod inserts on motors of the 2007-2008 release during running about 60-90 thousand km. Fortunately, such cases are few. In the presence of such a defect, the owners noted a clearly pronounced outsider rattling under load in the range of 2500-3000 rpm.

The "diesellation" of the engine is 1.8 liters on an immentable engine indicates the need to replace the tensioner drive belt hinged units. The problem may appear after 50-100 thousand km. The cause of foreign sounds is the wear of the plastic bushings of the tensioner. After replacing the bushings, turned to order from Kaprolon, the problem can be forgotten for a long time.

2.0 l gasoline engine is considered more demanding on fuel quality, but in fact there is a little problem with it. The serious trouble of these motors is to break the thread of the cylinder head bolts and their pulling. True, such cases are few. The essence of the problem - due to pulling the bolts, the head begins to lay down to the block, which leads to a refrigeration leakage, overheating of the motor, etc. etc. The cost of repair from 50 to 100 thousand rubles.

Also on 2-liter gasoline engines from under the "Cropped" sealing ring under the fuel pressure sensor, gasoline can begin to leak. This will notify the characteristic smell in the cabin, appearing when the climate is turned on. The sealing ring is recommended to replace the copper.

The engine is 2.4 liters on the background of the rest just "Painka". All gasoline engines ultimately after 100-150 thousand km begin to slowly take the oil, even modified 1.8 liters. As a rule, "oil appetite" to 150-200 thousand km does not exceed 1-2 liters per 10,000 km.

Diesel units in general are not capricious, but only the best varieties prefer diesel fuel. After 150-200 thousand km most likely have to face the need to clean the geometry of the turbine and the EGR valve. Diesel 2.2 liters can also be required to replace the cylinder head gasket. In addition, 2,2d-Cat, with a catalyst, until 2007 had problems due to catalyst tubes. After the design of the tubes has been changed, and to replace the previously installed, remkomplekt was released.

When running more than 100-150 thousand km, the pump (original about 3 thousand rubles), a thermostat (about 800 rubles), a starter (brush wear - about 1,600 rubles) may be asked for a substitution.

Transmission

A 5-speed "mechanics" or a 4-speed "automatic" was installed in a pair of engines, with the exception of gasoline 2.4 l, which was combined only with a 5-range automatic transmission.

"Mechanics", contrary to the usual, turned out to be extremely unreliable. As a rule, it all begins with the appearance of a roiler when running more than 60-100 thousand km at a speed of 60-80 km / h. These are bearings of the primary and secondary shaft, and sometimes differential. It is not worth pulling with repair, otherwise some of the overtooks may end sadly. Cases of jamming box at the speed of this confirmation. A set of new bearings will cost 3-5 thousand rubles, and work on their replacement is 7,000 rubles.

The owners of Avensisov with the manual transmission after 100-150 thousand km also note the bad (difficult) inclusion of odd gears and rear, as well as the snacking of the lever at the first speed. Replacing the clutch problem solves for a short time. A new clutch set costs about 9,000 rubles, and its resource is about 150-200 thousand km.

"AUTOMAT" is much more reliable "Mechanics" and, as a rule, does not cause problems, but cases of unexpected repair are single.

Chassis

Toyota Avensis suspension copes well with Russian roads and does not "lift". Racks and sleeves front stabilizer more than 20-40 thousand km, rear - more than 60-100 thousand km. Front and rear hub bearings Serve more than 150-200 thousand km (6-7 thousand rubles assembled with the hub). The case to levers and shock absorbers when running less than 180-200 thousand km, as a rule, does not reach. Steering tips walk more than 100-120 thousand km.

When running more than 50-100 thousand km, the front caliper is often starting. To eliminate Bryakov, you need replacing guides.

At Toyota Avensis with an engine of 1.8 liters, an electric power steering is used, on the other - the hydraulic power plate. After 30-50 thousand km in the steering Avensis, clicks or plastic cracks may appear when the steering wheel is rotated. The reason is the backlash in the worm pair due to the wear of the plastic gear. To eliminate the lack, it is enough to rearrange the gear at an angle of more than 90 degrees.

Body and Salon

The Toyota Avensis Body Claims does not arise complaints, corrosion foci is not observed even on the first copies. Many, probably, noticed the difference in the shade front bumper And the hood of dorestayling Avensis. The first thought - the car repainted! But in fact, this is a feature of the factory painting dorestayling Toyota Avensis.

A lot of complaints caused the optics of the front headlights. In 2-3 years, the mirror of the light reflector crepts, and the headlamps stop normally illuminate the road. More often, the problem occurs on cars with xenon light. In addition, the headlight blocks themselves often fog.

Insects in the rear dimming - common phenomenon. The flashlight itself often sweats, and when removing inside it is detected to the floor of a glass of water. The reason is the proceeded seal that needs to be replaced.

On cars older than 7-9 years old may refuse the headlight washer motor (about 160 rubles) or jam the telescopic nozzle due to dirt. In winter, a plastic pin of a gas tank hatch castle is completely lit. The new mechanism is sold only as a collection of 3-5 thousand rubles. But manifesting the smelter, the pin part of the pin can be glued. In frosts can be twisted the mechanism of folding / folding the outer mirrors.

Doors' locks do not like the simultaneous jerking for the handle and trigger the central lock on the closure / opening. This leads to the destruction of the plastic axis of the lock of the lock and loss of working capacity. The new castle costs about 3-4 thousand rubles.

Salon Toyota Avensis is assembled from strong materials and does not inclined to the screens. The cause of periodic creaks in the frontal area or rear window Plastic hooks of the guides that need to be cut off are becoming.

When running more than 100-150 thousand km. Some drivers notice that the seat begins to be pushed, and weakness appear on the leather seat trim. Sometimes the seat creates, due to the contact of the springs with a skeleton of the chair. On cars older than 7-8 years old is encouraging the seats of the seat with a heater.

After 100-150 thousand km, km can shack or latter dammes of the flaps, and problems appear with the correct distribution of streams. As a rule, first fails the drive from the passenger side, and after some time and driving. Often it is possible to restore the performance of the drive after cleaning and lubricating contacts. The heater motor can refuse due to the wear of the electric motor brushes.

When running more than 150-200 thousand km, the air conditioner compressor failure is found. The pulley damper plate discharge occurs more often due to the compressor subcuting. The cause of the "wedge" is the leakage of freon and, accordingly, lubrication from the system.

Simultaneous highlighting ABS, TRC OFF and VSC may indicate an insufficient charge rechargeable battery. But more often the reason in the Bosch ABS block is a mass break on the board. The cost of the new block is about 80,000 rubles, on the author's assembly, you can find a block for 5-8 thousand rubles. Any wizard engaged in the repair of electrical equipment will be able to find the place of cliff and overpass the track for 1-2 thousand rubles.

Due to the refusal of resistors in electrical circuits, no Displays display information on-board computer (on dorestaylah) and head unit. The cost of repair is about 1.5-2.5 thousand rubles.

Conclusion

Toyota Avensis of the second generation leaves after himself an ambiguous impression. Here, the usual reliability is adjacent to ridiculous structural miscalculations and disadvantages. The ideal choice will be Toyota Avensis with a 2.4 liter engine. These cars had only automatic box Gears I. high level Equipment.

Engine

In 1998, reliable gasoline engines of the seriesA. were replaced by capricious seriesZz.

The most problematic engine1zz-Fe 1.8 (129 hp), on which, due to insufficient removal of lubricant and minimum gap with a piston groove, oil-chain rings and oil consumption increase up to 1 l / 100 km.

Since 2002, nitriding and chrome piston ringsBut the problem remains. It usually occurs when running 40-60 tons. Km Often, the repair includes the replacement of an unrestreprenerable block of cylinders assembled due to wear of the sleeves. The replacement will cost $ 6,000-7000. By the way, you can easily check whether the replacement was replaced earlier:spare parts are delivered non-permeless blocks of cylinders. Some firms can enjoy a block for 3000-4000 $.

The malfunction was eliminated in April 2005 by the introduction of drainage holes under outlooking ring For removal of oil. Parallel replaced rings and cylinder processing technology. Updated engines have an increased crankcase pallet volume and a green label on the oil probe.

Another problem of engines seriesZz. Thread in the cylinder block under the GBC. When the engine is overheated, the thread is sailing and appear to appear on the nearest to the front panel (between the cabin and the engine) side of the engine. Official diagnosis - engine replacement. Services can restore threads.

In other questions, the 1.8 engine behaves with adequate: has a low fuel consumption, smooth craving due tosystems change phases VVT-I timing. Itself vVT-I system It is reliable, but its control valve is located near the cylinder cylinder bolt, so it can be broken with unqualified engine repair.

Engine 1AZ-FSE 2.0 (147 hp) with a direct fuel injection systemD. 4 and the VVT-I gas distribution phase change system has the same consumption as 1.8, but the best dynamics.

The engine is very sensitive to fuel quality. TNVD ($ 700) and nozzles ($ 400) may refuse after the first unsuccessful refueling. Under normal conditions, the TNVD runs at least 150-170 tons km.

Other systematic problems1AZ-FSE 2.0 is not marked.

Control mechanisms

On vehicles with an engine 1.8 and an electric power steering, a steering shaft is knocking. Lesuft B. slutsal connections And when driving irregularities, a knock is heard. The problem occurs after 3 years of operation and then does not progress.

At Toyota Avensis With gur there are no such problems.

The best option is a car with 2.0 and 2.4 engines and any PPC.

Toyota positions itself as a manufacturer of expensive, but reliable cars. Leaving behind the concern VAG, Toyta took the leadership positions at the World Car Market. But Avensis was an exception, without justifying the amount of sales in the CIS. What are the reasons? I'll tell you about it further.

History

In 2003, Toyota launches the mass production of the second-generation AVENSIS T 250. The expected excitement did not happen: due to the low level of sales for Europe, the line of configuration was expanded, diesel units were added to the power line, even reduction of Camry supplies, but nothing helped. It is noteworthy that Camry 30 was cheaper than "Avensis", despite the prestige and class. Secondary market The CIS was replenished with cars from Europe, thanks to the created image of a reliable, inexpensive car with optimal power line. Today, the car is massively imported to Ukraine and unscakenient territories from Europe, most often in the body of the station wagon and elefbeck with diesel engines, due to the attractive value of the "Europeans".

Gasoline engines started from a volume of 1.6 to 2.4 liters, for Europe added a couple of "diesel engines". The front-wheel drive is extremely rarely found all-wheel drive versions. For the CIS, the body of the sedan became popular. Undoubted dignity is the exquisite work of engineers in the field of chassis, as well as good furnishing materials of the cabin. Competition The car is Opel Vectra C, previously mentioned in one of my articles, and MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS W203.

What about us with reliability?

About body

If you fell out completely rotten Avensis, be sure - the car visited a major accident. But it is also impossible to call resistance to corrosion too. The body is not fully galvanized: "charms" of thin paintwork appear on racks and frame windshield. Squares over time are transformed into corrosion foci. The owners celebrate water from entering the cabin through the bog of the windshield in the roof area.

Exterior wheel arches Over time, corrosion. Incomplete sneakers provoke the appearance of rust in the rear arches. Unfortunately, the process of corrosion in this area is not stopped, so there are often a car with a fallen arch.

The level of protection of the bottom is a little better. Small foci of corrosion at the place of attachment of the rear racks do not cause concerns. It is important to monitor the condition of the metal in the field of factory sealant on the front side meters. The stripped paint on the front glasses urgently requires attention, as it is not far to education through holes. When buying a car you need to hold a comprehensive anticorrosion processing using high-quality materials.

Light optics - solid minus model. The front headlights are purified through several, and the mileage is not important. On this occasion, the company has created an revocable campaign, but the lapure of the headlights did not disappear anywhere. Over time, the tightness between the glass and the housing is lost, and the headlight flows. You have to change the headlight with the lens. On the restyled version of the problems, they decided that in these cars the headlights are more faster. Rear lights So sealing that they become housing for flies, not to mention the presence of water inside the case.

Quality seam rear glass shows itself in frosts - water through the seam leaks on his head rear passengers. You have to erase yourself. If you slightly slam the front doors - you will have to get the glass inside the door, as they break off from the guides. Heating side mirrors warms weakly. But the heated janitors performs a different function - forms cracks on the windshield.

Door seals after a few hundred thousand kilometers lose hermeticity. The experienced owners inside the sealer focus on the tube, but it does not get rid of heightened noise, although the model does not differ in special noise insulation.

What in the salon

High-quality material has a property with age to make screens and crickets. The frame of the seats also creaks, and to eliminate the problem will have to fully disassemble the seats. Motor compartment Well noise insulated, which you will not say about the arches and the bottom where the main noise in the salon comes from. Some owners did not neglect additional noise insulation by solving the factory problem. The air conditioner can bring in the most inopportune moment: fails the compressor coupling due to the imperfect design. In the rest of the cabin, even after 15 years it looks worthily, without special traces of operation.

Electrical part

The electrician of the car is also able to deliver the hassle, namely:

• the resource of the generator barely exceeds 100 thousand km, after which glitches are noticed electronic systems and dull light headlights;
• the rear lights should be often changed (due to the problem of tightness);
• often on the instrument panel burning a whole "garland" of control lamps for various reasons (dirty choke and candles, the failure of the oxygen sensor);
• permanent pollution of DMRV.

To understand the set of causes of faults, a complex diagnostics of the mechanical part is needed, for example: a dirty intake module, clogged nozzles, low gas station pressure, etc. The owners of Avensis T250 recommended the acquisition of the OBD2 scanner for understanding and eliminating the ECU errors alone.

Chassis, steering and brakes

The brake system is reliable if each replacement of the pads change the anthers of the guide brakes and make them well lubricate. The ABS block often sins failures at work until the failure.

With the move of part, everything is fine: in the shock absorbers, a resource is 150,000 km, which today is solid. Cars with a mileage of 200,000 km "sit" still on the original suspension, except for bushings and stabilizer racks. Silent blocks and ball supports and front support bearings are varied separately. The only nuance is weak hub bearings that need to be replaced every 100,000 km.

Design rear suspension Stamped. This is a "multi-dimension" MacPherson, which gives comfort, provided the perfect suspension state. If you do not pay attention to the rack-guide, the smallest backlash will lead to a drift on the road.

Once a year you need to make trouble-convergence, but here a surprise is laid here - the risen bolts that need to cut with a grinder.

The electric power steering is not distinguished advanced characteristics. Often, the wines of everything, the "garage" repair of the rail with the support of the rail and the permutation of the gear places. The problem is characteristic of motors 1.8. In versions with 2 and 2.4 engines costs GUR. Dorestayling versions suffer a constant flow from under the pump. Active taxiing, dirty oil and refilling pump oil type dexron will lead to a sustainable breakdown. For GUR, it is necessary for individual oil with low viscosity Pentosin.

About transmissions

In half the drive half-axis - typical problem Toyota, and the fault of that corrosion, but the shrus is very reliable. The gearbox can "please" the sudden breakdown of the bearing of the secondary shaft and the flow of oil from under the seal of the shaft. If you do not notice the emptying of the CATER CTP in time, then it will have to be thrown out, since it will completely "killed" the bearing will break through and its remnants will break the entire interior of the mechanical transmission. History with automatic transmission is the opposite. Resource automatic transmission exceeds the resource of the engines. The automatic transmission is withstanding the torque above the factory values, but everything can be broken. For reliability will have to pay frequent replacement Oil. If the box works in high loads, the back cover will be the first to erase the frictional. In if the oil is not changed on time, the Maslonasos will order to live long immediately.

Power line

Toyota motors are traditionally reliable. Many legends go about the 1zz series engine, and some of them are truth. Despite the interesting modern solutions, there are no legendary reliability. Reduces the life of motors Cooling system, catalysts, engine wiring and engine support.

I will gain a popular engine 1zz-Fe 1.8. Claims to the motor are more than justified by the following facts:

• "Raw" piston group until 2005;
• a weak chain timing;
• the GBC design does not imply a full range of valves;
• no repair sizes of pistons, rings and liners;
• elevated oil consumption.

The lightweight cylinder block is vulnerable to overheating, which is why it flounds on the author's challenges.

There are good moments: the sleeves change, spare parts for motor inexpensive and common. Motor potential 300-400 thousand k.m. Acquisition of Avensis with the "Dead" Motor will entail serious financial spending, so diagnose the unit needed along and across.

RESULTS

Toyota Avensis T250 - a car, which after 15 years does not lose relevance among fans of the brand. Like all cars, loves timely service and high-quality details. Unfortunately, not all nodes and aggregates are subject to the "Toyotovsky" quality, like all car marketing era.
