Data for the Toyota RAV4 engine. How to buy the third generation Toyota RAV4 correctly. Typical problems when operating Toyota RAV4

The third generation Toyota RAV4 (designation CA30W) went on sale in its homeland in November 2005, and in December in the USA and Canada. A little later, the RAV4 reached Europe. In 2010 compact crossover underwent restyling. As a result, the head and rear optics, radiator grille. Adjusted the gamma a bit power units and boxes.

Toyota RAV4 (2006 - 2008)

The three-door version will no longer be seen in this generation. It is worth noting that on American market cars were offered with an extended wheelbase - 2.66 m versus 2.56 m.

Due to the tailgate, which opens to the right, the RAV 4 still looks like small SUV. Spare wheel hangs on the trunk door, unnecessarily straining the hinges. But there are copies without a spare wheel. They were serially equipped expensive tires run flat with a metal insert that allows you to get to the nearest tire shop after a puncture.

The trunk is noticeably larger than its predecessor. When folding the backrest rear seat a small threshold is formed.

Engines

Before restyling, the European Toyota RAV4 was equipped with 2.0 liter gasoline engines (1AZ-FE) with a power of 152 hp. and 2.4 l (2AZ-FE) – 170 hp. American version came with gasoline engines: 2.4 l and V6 3.5 l (2GR-FE) - 269 hp. After restyling, in European versions the 1AZ-FE gave way to the updated 2.0 l (3ZR-FE) with output of 158 hp, and in the American 2AZ-FE it gave way to the 2AR-FE (2.5 l / 170 hp). There are RAV4 and s diesel engines displacement 2.2 l (2AD-FHV / 136 hp and 2AD-FTV / 177 hp).

All gasoline engines are generally reliable and do not cause any trouble. In exceptional cases, it becomes necessary to replace leaking oil seals. Owners of restyled Toyota RAV4 with gasoline engine 2.0 l mark more noisy work engine: diesel, clattering. This feature is caused by the Valvematic system, designed to smoothly change the valve lift height.

2.4 liter engines often begin to “take oil” with a mileage of more than 70-100 thousand km - about 2-3 liters from replacement to replacement.

The system pump spoils the idyll liquid cooling(pump), which often begins to leak after 40-60 thousand km. In some cases, it reaches 80-100 thousand km. The cost of the pump from an official dealer is about 5,000 rubles. In auto parts stores, an original pump can be found for 3-4 thousand rubles, an analogue - for 1.5-2 thousand rubles. The work of replacing auto mechanics is estimated at 2-3 thousand rubles.

"Squirrel tail" can grow from exhaust pipe after 40-60 thousand kilometers. This is a poorly secured internal thermal and sound insulation of the muffler. With a mileage of more than 50-80 thousand km, the tension or guide roller often begins to make noise drive belt mounted units.

Diesel engines are slightly less reliable than their gasoline counterparts. Fuel injectors confidently go up to 200-300 thousand km. But there is one serious flaw. After 150,000 km, microcracks appear around the liners. As a result, the gasket under the head of the block burns out, and the coolant disappears without a trace. Repairs can only be performed once.

On the RAV4, there was a once widely known problem with Toyota cars - the gas pedal sticking in the pressed position. Real cases are rare. Toyota officially announced that the cause was the floor mats getting under the pedal. But few people know that CTS pedals were required to install an additional metal plate to ensure the pedal returns to its original position. initial position. DENSO pedals do not have such modifications.

Transmission

Responsible for the distribution of torque between the axles electromagnetic clutch. The coupling seals may leak after 50-100 thousand km. With a mileage of more than 100-150 thousand km, the clutch may hum. The reason is the loss of properties of the lubricant embedded in the bearing during assembly. New bearing costs about 700-900 rubles, work to replace it will cost 1.5-2 thousand rubles. The price of a new electric coupling assembly is about 20-25 thousand rubles.

Seals for front and rear axle shafts rear gearbox may leak after 50-100 thousand km. A little later, with a mileage of more than 100-150 thousand km, the shank of the front or rear gearbox begins to “snot”.

It is worth noting that not all versions had an all-wheel drive system. Therefore, when inspecting, you should look under the car and check for rear differential. If the car is all-wheel drive, then there must be a transmission lock button in the cabin.

The engines are paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. After restyling, the 5-speed manual transmission was replaced by a six-speed gearbox, and a CVT was installed with the 2.0 liter engine. All boxes are generally reliable and have no serious complaints, with a few exceptions. Thus, owners of RAV 4 with a 5-speed manual transmission note that the lever “bites” in first gear. It is possible to turn off the speed only after double release clutch. Owners also note a slight howl when driving in 1st and 2nd gears. The clutch lasts more than 150-200 thousand km.

Toyota RAV4 (2008 - 2010)

The automatic machine may “cover itself” after replacement working fluid, and not immediately, but after several tens of kilometers. Such cases are not uncommon. Official dealers confirm the presence similar problem and they recommend changing the oil after a mileage of about 60 thousand km. If the mileage has already far exceeded these figures, then it is better to ride until the last minute. Dealers do not talk about the reasons for the failure of the box.

Chassis

One of service campaigns Toyota - check and replacement lower control arms rear suspension. When assembling the RAV4, due to insufficient tightening of the nuts during operation, they become loosened, which leads to a shift in wheel alignment angles rear axle and reducing stability by high speeds. In addition, breakdowns appear on uneven surfaces.

Bushings front stabilizer lateral stability travel more than 30-50 thousand km. The struts “live” longer – up to 80-100 thousand km. The cost of a new bushing from dealers is about 1.5 thousand rubles, in spare parts stores - about 400-500 rubles, analogues are even cheaper - 200-300 rubles. The work of replacing bushings is estimated by dealers at 1.5 thousand rubles. Posts and bushings rear stabilizer travel more than 100 thousand km.

With a mileage of 60-100 thousand km, the front shock absorbers begin to “sweat”. The cost of the original shock absorber in “auto parts” is not much different from the dealer price - about 5-7 thousand rubles. The analogue is 2 times cheaper (about 3 thousand rubles). Rear shock absorbers more durable, their service life is more than 150-200 thousand km. The silent blocks of the levers last the same amount of time.

Wheel bearings run more than 100-150 thousand km. They are replaced together with the hub. The cost of a new hub is about 5-6 thousand rubles, and replacement work is about 1-1.5 thousand rubles.

TO brake system As a rule, there are no complaints. IN in rare cases The failed ABS sensor needs to be replaced.

Knocks in the steering are not uncommon after 40-80 thousand km. As a rule, the culprit is either the steering cardan (4-5 thousand rubles), or the steering shaft (from 5 to 11 thousand rubles), or steering rack(20-25 thousand rubles). Steering rods last more than 100 thousand km, but the manufacturer does not provide for their replacement. Steering rods only come with a new rack. But you can pick up an analogue for 700-800 rubles and replace it.

Conclusion

The third generation Toyota RAV4 is quite reliable and practical car. The only thing to be afraid of is diesel versions. Gasoline engines practically do not break.

Most drivers have already come to terms with the fact that all the cars that are currently appearing on the market look quite monotonous.

Their design and technical parameters become almost identical, differing only in small nuances.

But with the advent new version Chery Tiggo, sales of which started in the first days of the second week of August, the situation has changed dramatically. This car has its own unique appearance and is ahead of all its closest competitors not only in terms of characteristics, but also in terms of cost, which is set within fairly reasonable limits. This one, at first glance, ordinary car, upon closer examination, has a considerable number of technical features.

It can be opened using a smart watch, the available multimedia system and air conditioning are controlled using gestures.

The differences between the machine and other models of this class are expressed in the following features:

Feature 1. Availability of smart watches. This gadget is offered as standard when purchasing the top-end Techno package. According to the manufacturer, this device is called a smart key bracelet, but in fact, it is more like a watch, especially since one of its main functions is to show the time. In addition, it can be used to raise and lower windows, open and close car doors, and even start the engine from a distance. Assistive functions include notification of messages and calls, event reminders and step counting, mileage traveled and calories burned, as well as phone search. Synchronization is possible with both Android and iOS. Designed to withstand pressure when submerged under water to a depth of 30 meters. The car became a pioneer in the compact crossover class, with a similar device included as standard.

Feature 2. Gesture control. This vehicle allows you to control some functions using gestures. For example, holding your finger in front of the screen makes it possible to switch tracks, lightly wiggle your finger to adjust the volume, bring your open palm to the sensor to switch to control the air conditioning system, and so on.

Feature 3. Electronic assistants. This model is characterized by the presence of a large number of electronic systems that are already included in basic equipment. In addition, the car is equipped with a monitor, the largest diagonal in its class - 7 inches, with variable backlight tone, a temperature and tire pressure monitoring system, and a smart lighting system. In addition, the body was galvanized with elements made from five types of high-strength steel. The warranty period is 5 years or 150,000 km.

Reviews

The pros and cons of the Toyota RAV 4 2018-2019 in a new body were identified based on reviews real owners. More detailed advantages and Toyota disadvantages RAV4 2.0 and 2.5 with manual, CVT and automatic, as well as 2.2 diesel with all-wheel drive can be found in the stories below:

The new car drives quieter and smoother. Pickup is a little worse. My previous RAV 4 had a Valvematic engine, and it ran exclusively on 95 with additives (euro, plus, ecto, etc.). This is the usual Dual VVTi - it bursts from 92 and above. But I have enough power.

Adequate acceleration is achieved by rapidly increasing the speed. If previously the maximum torque was at ~4,000 rpm, now it is at 6,000 rpm. Accordingly, if revs earlier during acceleration it was 2-3 thousand, now it’s 3-4. The noise is better, so you can only feel the engine speed by looking at the tachometer. The rest of the engine is the same.

The chassis of the Toyota RAV4 in the new body has become softer. If the third driver in the pits bludgeoned quite noticeably, then the fourth does not transmit the blows to the cabin. The pits are now on their own, and the body is on its own. Of course, within reasonable limits. Otherwise everything is the same.

I liked the appearance of the car. On the outside, the restyling changes compared to the 4th generation are purely cosmetic and only in plastic. But the way they redesigned the front and back of the car made me happy.

Review about new Toyota RAV 4 2017 with CVT 2.0 (146 hp)

Video review

Regarding the variator, I think this type transmission is one of the best - you just need to use it wisely. When the car starts, the acceleration is smooth, without jerking, as if a trolleybus is picking up speed. If you need to accelerate faster, you just press the gas pedal a little harder, and the acceleration is just as smooth!

Compared to the pre-restyling version, the suspension on the new RAV4 has become much better, sound insulation has improved, the quality of the plastic has changed a little for the better, but still not good enough - the quality of the plastic in the interior of the Corolla was higher.

Two liters is enough for normal movement in the city and on the highway, you need to understand that these are all non-premium SUVs and you shouldn’t expect miracles from them. It is impossible not to note the interior; it is not huge, but quite spacious. But with this spacious salon There is one drawback - it takes quite a long time to warm up.

Where can I buy?

Nightmarish fabric interior, all the dirt sticks and even the vacuum cleaner doesn’t pick it up. The mirror folding button is not illuminated - you don’t notice this in the summer, but in the fall it became annoying.

Maintenance every 10,000 km and quite expensive. No heated steering wheel or windshield! If the key is not inserted, the music does not turn on (((And I also noticed this garbage, it says that the gas tank is 60 liters, I always drive to an almost empty gas tank, I arrive at a gas station almost in the open air, I fill it up to full, but I have never filled more than 45 liters , it’s strange how it is.

Allah, review of new Toyota RAV4 2.0 (146 hp) CVT 2015

Why should I, when getting out of the car, make extraordinary efforts to close driver's door. Exactly the driver's license! I should clap it like I have a Zhiguli-penny.

At the service center they say that you need to open the window a little so that a vacuum does not create in the door, and over time this will pass, but for now you have to clap! I found a way out: getting out of the car, I don’t close the window, and when I set the alarm, the driver’s window automatically goes up.

None of the buttons are illuminated (adjusting the headlight angle, adjusting the mirrors), and there is no basic light in the glove compartment. The head unit is just a slot, narrow and small. Absolutely unreadable when exposed to bright light rays. Not thought out. To make a hands-free call, seemingly without being distracted from the situation on the road, you need to press the buttons on this slot four times.

I can only wish a trunk like this on my enemy. There is no 12 V socket in the trunk. Poor sound insulation.

Those who write that this is a car for women, know that WOMEN DO NOT LIKE THIS CAR. Women's car it should be all illuminated, with many small amenities, with a thousand pockets for small items and a bunch of not very necessary functions, but here there is even nowhere to put sunglasses - there is no provision. EVERYTHING IS CHEAP AND VERY ANGRY.

Irina Prokopyeva, review of Toyota RAV 4 2.0 (146 hp) manual 2015

Doesn't fold side mirrors from the key. Not all windows go down and up with one click, you have to hold the button. Small and non-illuminated door lock buttons on folding mirrors. In general, saving on matches. And so far there are no complaints.

The chassis showed itself with the best side. I didn’t expect such cross-country ability from a crossover, maybe diesel unit to help. Steering On RAV 4 4th generation it works well both on the highway and off-road. Not thick, but at the same time not very spicy.

Alexander Afanasyev, review of Toyota RAV4 2.2V automatic 2016

The power unit has also changed - instead of the old 2- and 2.4-liter engines, a new two-liter engine from Avensis with a progressive Valvematic system appeared, and a 4-speed automatic transmission replaced the CVT. However, the elongated Long version Until the change of generations, it was sold with the old exterior design, 2.4 engine and automatic transmission.

Offer on the market

Despite the fact that the third Toyota generation RAV4 lived on Russian market not as freely as the first two, and had to compete with other crossovers (including Nissan Qashqai), there are a lot of cars on the secondary market. Therefore, there is no need to cling to a specific instance when searching for a car - there are plenty of options. Traditionally, the machines of the first and last year release is less than 2007-2011. In 2006, old stocks of the predecessor were sold off, and in 2012, buyers were waiting for the fourth generation. As for the bodies, the extended version with three rows of seats, which debuted in 2009, did not gain much popularity. In the supply structure there are only 7% of them. The remaining 93% are standard wheelbase vehicles. Among engines, the undisputed leader is the old two-liter (152 hp). In combination with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it is installed on 43% of cars, and with a 5-speed manual transmission - on 10%.

Toyota RAV4 is a Japanese compact crossover car produced since 1994 by the company Toyota Motor Corporation. Since 2013, the 4th generation of the model has been released. The name of the car consists of the first letters of the phrase, literally translated as “car for active rest" The number "4" means four-wheel drive. The 5-seater car is available in 3 body styles: 3- and 5-door crossover and convertible. The car was assembled in Japan, Canada and China.

2AZ series engines appeared on Toyota cars since 2000 - they gradually replaced legendary engines S series and for ten years remained the main “mid-volume” of the company. 2AZ - transverse engine, with distributed injection, for original front-wheel drive passenger cars, vans and SUVs.

Engines of the 1AZ series have appeared on Toyota cars since 2000 - they gradually replaced the legendary S series engines and for ten years remained the main “mid-volume” engines of the company. Installed on a large number of original front-wheel drive models of classes “C”, “D”, “E”, vans, mid- and full-size SUVs.

AR Engine Series from Toyota started Its history is relatively recent - the first units appeared in 2008. On this moment these are popular engines that are respected by drivers Japanese cars mostly in the USA and Canada. Although, some members of the family are spreading throughout the world.

The 3ZR-FE/FAE/FBE engine is an excellent engine of the ZR series. The characteristics of the 3ZR have become much better, which means that the engine of this series has become more economical, but at the same time powerful. It has a volume of 2.0 liters. Power has been noticeably increased and now stands at 158 hp. at 6200 rpm. The engine torque has also been improved and now at just 4400 rpm it is 144 N*m. Gasoline consumption has become noticeably less. Now consumption per 100 kilometers has become about 10 liters in the city. Positive reviews users of these cars allow us to conclude that the 3ZR engines are among the best in their series. They are still in demand and very popular to this day.

Automakers from Japan are known for their quality products, which include power units. The 3S engine fully applies to them, since it has proven itself only with positive side. The appearance of this wonderful 3S series motor was noted back in 1986, and its production continued until 2000. ICE 3S is injection engine, volume 2 liters. The weight of the power units of this series greatly depends on the modification of the engines.
