Toyota Corolla is car bestseller and has been in wide circulation since 1966. The last one on this moment, the generation appeared before the general public in 2019 and is already the twelfth generation of the model. It received the E210 index, a different platform, the same set of units, an expanded list of equipment, a redesigned interior, and new design. The front end features narrow, tapered headlights with LED daytime running lights. running lights. The radiator grille has a purely decorative function and consists of a black trim with a chrome insert and the manufacturer’s logo. Below it is a massive air intake, consisting of many tightly fitted fins. On the sides of it you can see small depressions with fog lights and C-shaped chrome trims.

dimensions

In the model Toyota range happened important changes. Previously, the hatchback and station wagon based on the Corolla bore the name Auris, but from the 12th generation, all bodies belong to the same model and this division will no longer exist. True, there are no plans to deliver anything other than a sedan to Russia yet. In this version, the car has the following overall dimensions: length 4630 mm, width 1780 mm, height 1435 mm, and wheelbase 2700 mm. Ground clearance, like most city cars, is 150 millimeters.

One of the global changes for the Corolla E210 was the transition to a new modular platform TNGA. It retained the typical layout for this class with a front transverse power unit and McPherson struts at the front. In the same time, rear end The chassis has noticeably changed. Instead of semi-dependent torsion beam, a completely independent multi-link design is installed. The trunk size has increased to 470 liters.

Specifications

For vehicles supplied to domestic market, only one power unit will be offered. This is a 1.6-liter in-line naturally aspirated petrol four. She has two camshaft, multi-point fuel supply system and proprietary variable phase system VVT-i valve timing on each shaft. As a result, the engineers managed to squeeze out 122 horsepower at 6050 rpm and 153 Nm of torque at 5200 rpm. Transmission options include a six-speed manual or CVT. Front wheel drive only. Depending on the type of gearbox, acceleration to a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour will take from 10.8 to 11 seconds, and the speed ceiling will be at around 185-195 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption in the combined driving cycle will be 6.3-6.6 liters.

equipment

Five have been prepared for Toyota Corolla various configurations With different levels equipment. Basic models will receive, for the most part, only basic safety equipment, such as front and side airbags, ABS, BAS, ESP and ASR, child seat mounts, standard alarm, light sensor and air conditioning. For an additional fee, you can order a car with leather interior trim, alloy wheels, electronic dashboard, advanced multimedia system, keyless entry, parking radar, rear view camera, traffic sign recognition system, as well as active cruise control and head-up display.

Toyota showed the most economical Corolla

At the Los Angeles Auto Show Japanese concern brought hybrid version Corolla sedan. According to the manufacturer, average fuel consumption in mixed cycle reaches 4.7 liters per “hundred” November 30, 2018 0

- one of the models coming off production lines Toyota Corporation. The history of this model dates back to 1966, and already in 1974 the car became the owner of a record recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. According to the registry, as of December 1, 2000, more than 25 million copies were sold around the globe. different bodies and with different configurations.

Over more than 50 years of its history, it boasts a wide model range, numbering eleven generations, each of which we will talk about in detail further.

Corolla E10 sedan and station wagon

She first saw the world in Japan in mid-autumn 1966. The almost 4-meter sedan with two doors had rear drive, 4-cylinder 1.1 and 1.2 liters, which made it possible to develop power from 60 to 78 horsepower.

The gearbox had four stages, the rear spring suspension was dependent, and the front was independent, equipped with a transverse spring element. In addition to models with a manual transmission, dual-speed automatic transmissions were also available. The first generation of the E10 model was produced in several body styles: two-door coupes and station wagon, sedan. The model was available in the Japanese, American and Australian markets.

E20 1970-1974

Production of the second generation in the E20 body was launched in 1970.

The body began to differ in more rounded shapes. The suspension design was supplemented with stabilizers providing lateral stability. The working volume has been increased. Basic equipment was equipped with an 8-valve engine with a displacement of 1.2 liters and a power of 77 hp; advanced models received 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines. The automatic transmission had three ranges, and the “mechanics” became five-speed.

Available body styles for the E20 are coupe, sedan and station wagon. The station wagon line was supplemented with five-door variations.

E30 E40 E50 E60 1974-1975

The third generation of cars began to be produced in 1974. Changes to the E30 body mainly concerned only minor modifications to the appearance.

Most models were equipped with a 1.6-liter engine (with a power of 75 hp), although 1.2 and 1.4-liter modifications were available for sale in some markets. Among the available options manual transmissions modifications with 4 and 5 stages were offered. Two-stage automatic boxes Over time, they were replaced with modernized 3 stages.

Body options for the 3rd generation included two-door and four-door sedans, station wagons with three and five doors. An extended modification of the three-door Corolla Liftback hatchback was developed for the American segment. In the States, against the backdrop of the fuel crisis, the third generation of the model's cars gained particular popularity, as Americans were forced to switch to more economical cars.

E70 1979-1983

April 1979 was marked by the release fourth generation model, the body of which was marked with the E70 index. The previously outlined design trends in appearance were preserved, but the body itself was designed anew. This decision was intended to resolve the security issue.

For the first time, the length of the car exceeded 4 m. The spring type of rear suspension was replaced with a spring one, but the station wagons were still equipped with springs.

A number of available modifications have been supplemented with new ones diesel type with a displacement of 1.8 liters and a 1.7-liter gasoline-powered unit. In 1982, advanced configurations of the Toyota Corolla appeared with a four-speed automatic transmission and power steering.

The E70 Corolla was sold in a large number of form factors. They are shown in the photo.

E80 1983-1987

In 1983, Toyota Corporation engineers presented the world with the first front-wheel drive model, the engine of which was located transversely, but coupe and three-door hatchback were made on the previous rear-wheel drive platform. And they were called Corolla Levin and Corolla Trueno, respectively.

Fifth-generation cars with the E80 index were equipped with 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6-liter gasoline engines, as well as a diesel engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters. Models aimed at the Japanese segment were equipped with 1.6-liter power units with a multipoint injection system. It was from this generation that the installation of 16-valve engines began on Toyota Corolla models. Available transmission types: manual with 4 and 5 steps, as well as three- and four-range automatic.

The front suspension was replaced with McPherson, the rear with an independent three-link. Some configurations included a lateral stability stabilization system for each axle.

E90 1987-1991

The length of the sixth generation cars with an E90 body was 4.33 m.

Rear-wheel drive equipment is finally a thing of the past, replaced by all-wheel drive sedans.

The sales line was again replenished with station wagon modifications. In 1990, the 1.6 4A-FE received fuel injection. Under the hood of some variations, forced diesel engines were installed based on the 4A-GZE compressor, the power of which reached 165 hp. The three-door Corolla GTi was equipped with a 1.6-liter engine, initially developing 115 and then 125 hp.

E100 1991-1995

White beauty. How about you?

The model made a significant contribution to the popularization of the model. Externally, the car acquired an even more rounded shape, which contributed to the improvement aerodynamic performance. Has changed significantly interior fittings seventh generation: the basic package included vertical adjustment steering wheel, setting driver's seat in height, the ability to fold seats back row, heating function rear windows etc.

In Russia, cars were sold from carburetor engines, and in the USA and Europe with injection ones.

E110 1995-2000

Corolla 110 dork styling

The eighth body has undergone minor external changes, and only by 1999 it was decided to release a restyled model. The bumper has a smoother texture, and the radiator grille has been increased in size. The headlights have also changed their appearance. In addition to the exterior, restyling concerned the expansion of the line of body styles, which included sedans, station wagons and hatches with 3 and 5 doors.

Hatchback of the updated E110

The arsenal and transmissions have been refined and improved. The basic configuration included being equipped with a 1.3-liter engine, developing power up to 75 horses. More under the hood expensive modifications a 1.3 liter 4E-FE (86 hp), a five-speed manual or a 4-band automatic was installed.

E120 E130 2000-2006

Corolla 120 hatchback restyling

The ninth generation is complemented by an anti-lock braking system, airbags, navigation system, climate control. The Nine was produced in three body styles: sedan, station wagon and hatch.

Corolla 120 station wagon

Modifications were produced for the European market with two-liter diesel engines 1CD-FTV and 1.4-liter 1ND-TV, the power of which reaches 90 hp.

Leather interior of Corolla 120. Which is better, leather or fabric?

The petrol line consisted of a 1.4 liter 4ZZ-FE (95-97 hp) and a 5-speed manual transmission, a 1.6-liter 3ZZ-FE (developing power up to 110 hp), as well as the most powerful 1.8- liter 2ZZ-GE, which was equipped with hatchbacks with three doors.

E140 E150 2006-2013

Corolla E140 restyling

The first Toyota Corolla was introduced in Japan in October 1966 - it was a small, only 3.85 m long, rear-wheel drive two-door sedan. Four-cylinder engine volume of 1.1 liters developed 60 liters. s., the gearbox was four-speed, the rear suspension was spring dependent, and the front suspension was independent with one transverse spring (later spring). In May 1967, a modification with a four-door body, as well as a three-door station wagon, appeared. A year later, the Corolla Sprinter coupe went on sale. Sales in the USA began at the same time.

2nd generation (E20), 1970–1974

The second generation Toyota Corolla appeared in 1970. The car grew a little, and the engine power, despite the increase in displacement to 1.2 liters, dropped to 55 hp. But a two-speed Toyoglide automatic transmission appeared. A five-door station wagon was added to the previous set of bodies, and in 1971 a 1.6 liter engine appeared, developing 75 hp. (in version for American market- 102 l. With). Upon request, a five-speed manual transmission could be installed.

The second-generation Toyota Corolla marked the beginning of a more serious division of cars for the Japanese and North American markets than the placement of controls on the right or left.

3rd generation (E30, E40, E50, E60), 1974–1975

The third generation Toyota Corolla appeared in 1974. The body styles were a sedan (two or four doors) and a station wagon (three or five doors), and an elongated three-door hatchback called the Corolla Liftback was also sold on the American market. The main engine is a 75-horsepower 1.6-liter “four,” although modifications with 1.2 and 1.4-liter engines were sold in some countries. A choice of four- and five-speed manual transmissions was offered, as well as a two-speed automatic, later replaced by a more modern three-speed. The “third” Corolla enjoyed particular success in the USA - there was an outbreak fuel crisis and buyers became interested in compact cars.

4th generation (E70), 1979–1983

The fourth generation Toyota Corolla was introduced in April 1979. The rear suspension became spring, although the station wagons retained springs. Gasoline engines with a volume of 1.3–1.8 liters developed 65–115 hp. s., a 1.8-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 65 horsepower also appeared. Since 1982, a four-speed automatic transmission and power steering have been offered for an additional fee.

5th generation (E80), 1983–1987

In May 1983, the “fifth” was introduced, now front-wheel drive Toyota with independent rear suspension. First came the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback with long rear overhang, and in October 1984, “short” Corolla Compact hatchbacks with three or five doors were added to them. A choice of carburetor engines of 1.3 (69 or 75 hp) and 1.6 liters (90 hp) was offered, and five-speed gearbox gears became standard. In 1984, the first Corolla went on sale with diesel engine(1.8 l, 58 hp)

At the same time, the three-door Corolla Trueno hatchback and the two-door Corolla Levin sedan, built on the old rear-wheel drive platform, were produced. They were equipped with a 16-valve 1.6-liter engine producing 121 hp. With.

6th generation (E90), 1987–1991

The sixth generation Toyota Corolla appeared in Japan in May 1987, sales began in Europe a year later. IN production program The station wagon is back. In October 1987, production of sedans began with constant all-wheel drive, and a year later an all-wheel drive station wagon appeared with original body, sold in Europe as the Toyota Corolla Tercel.

Since 1990, 1.6 liter engines began to be equipped with a fuel injection system. There was also a “hot” three-door Corolla GTi, which was equipped with an engine of the same volume, but boosted first to 115 and then to 125 hp. s., and in Japan the Corolla Levin GT-Z was sold with a 1.6 compressor engine developing 165 horsepower.

7th generation (E100), 1991–1995

In June 1991, the seventh generation Corolla debuted. Europeans saw the car a year later, when the Compact hatchbacks appeared, and production of this model began at factories in England and Turkey. The Coroll was also assembled at factories in the USA, Canada, South Africa, the Philippines, Indonesia, and New Zealand.

Cars with 1.3 liter carburetor engines continued to be supplied to some countries (including Russia), although only injection engines (1.3 and 1.6 liters), as well as a two-liter naturally aspirated diesel engine, were offered for Europe.

8th generation (E110), 1995–2000

The eighth generation of cars debuted in Japan in 1995, and in 1997 the model appeared in Europe. Structurally, the car was completely identical to its predecessor, but the design had changed radically and the choice of options had become wider. The set of engines remained the same: volume from 1.3 to 2.2 liters, power 70–165 hp. With. The station wagon was offered in an all-wheel drive version (with a 1.8 liter engine). In 1999, the Corolla was restyled; gasoline engines received a variable valve timing system (VVT-i).

9th generation (E120, E130), 2000–2006

The basis Toyota cars The ninth generation Corolla, which appeared in Europe in 2001, was based on a shortened sedan platform for Japanese market. Three- and five-door hatchbacks received the most unified bodies, and their production was established in England. Sedans and station wagons were produced in Turkey and had a slightly different front end design. At the top of the range is the T-Sport modification with a 192-horsepower 1.8-liter engine equipped with a variable valve stroke system (VVTL-i).

10th generation (E140), 2006–2013

The next version of the Corolla debuted in 2006. Sedans for Europe and America this time were almost the same, and the hatchback became separate model- (only in Australia the hatchback was sold under the same name). Japanese buyers were offered Corolla Axio sedans and station wagons Corolla Fielder, differing in a different design.

The sedan for Russia was equipped gasoline engines 1.4 (97 hp) and 1.6 (124 hp), paired with more powerful engine could be ordered robotic box transmission After restyling in 2010, the Toyota Corolla received a new 1.3-liter power unit with a capacity of 101 hp. With. instead of the 1.4-liter, as well as a four-speed Aisin automatic transmission instead of the robot. On European market there were also versions with turbodiesels of 1.4, 2.0 and 2.2 liters (90–177 hp)

The Japanese Corolla was equipped with 1.5 (110–150 hp) and 1.8 (136 hp) engines; these cars could be equipped with a CVT and were offered not only with front-wheel drive, but also with all-wheel drive. In other Asian countries there were versions 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, but in China this model is still produced and sold.

Toyota Corolla for the American market could be equipped with a 1.8-liter engine (132 hp) or a two-liter power unit power 158 hp With. Gearboxes - manual or automatic.

Toyota Corolla engine table

For several generations in a row, the Toyota Corolla fully lived up to the title of queen, defending the title of the most reliable car in its class. Is it possible to rely in the same way on representatives of the tenth generation? hatchback Auris and the Corolla sedan, which were introduced in 2006-2013?

Attractiveness of external forms

Toyota Corolla 10th generation can be collected in England, Turkey or Japan. However, regardless of this, every Toyota has a paint job that is characterized by a typically Asian quality. Many professionals recommend driving away from mechanical car washes and avoiding roads with gravel. After all, on a fairly thin layer of paintwork, scratches and chips appear at an enviable rate.

If cars were not subject to such damage, then Toyota body could resist corrosion for many years in a row. Thus, in the absence of accidents in the past, the central foci of rust should probably be looked for only on the surface at the bottom of the doors of specimens that have been in use for a long time.

Body Features

As a rule, in most cases there are practically no problems with the body equipment. Often, after some time, difficulties begin to arise when moving the window regulators or malfunctions in the operation of the drive and buttons appear. In addition, you may have to change the trunk lock, which is not highly resistant to severe frosts. To extend their service life, these delicate elements should be regularly treated: thoroughly cleaned and lubricated with a special mixture.

What is the worst curse of Toyota Corolla?

Perhaps the most common and most terrible disadvantage of Toyota is the gas pedal. You just have to remember such a sensational story that mentioned the accelerator constantly jamming either on the Lexus ES or on Toyota Camry. Exactly the same fate befell the much younger Corolla and Auris. Thus, both models took part in service campaign, aimed at replacing a unit in which, with severe wear, friction increases noticeably, leading to difficulties when pressing the pedal.

No less alarming is the rather slow return of the pedal back to its original position. Such a breakdown is the first signal that after some time it may completely freeze in the position it occupied when pressed. By purchasing Toyota Corolla 10, released before 2010, you must definitely ask its previous owner about whether he performed additional technical procedures on the service.

What "drives" a car?

Owners can be pleased that there is no problem with both the Corolla and Auris. big problems when choosing an engine. The main reason for this is believed to be that modern market Almost every car is equipped with a 1ZR-FE engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Moreover, in nature there is not a single bad engine. The gas distribution mechanism drive is equipped with a chain that can withstand at least 150 thousand kilometers. However, after two hundred thousand, as a rule, it has to be changed.

Despite the fact that the cars contain disposable light-alloy cylinder blocks, they are of high quality, so without much strain, each unit is capable of exceeding three hundred thousand kilometers.

To increase service life, it is necessary to use exclusively quality oil and do not conduct experiments involving “extension” of the short service interval characteristic of Toyota Corolla 2007 years. Otherwise, it will be necessary to repair the underlying piston rings, as well as “stuck” deposits.

1.4 liter engine. with index 4ZZ-FE, installed in 5% of cars, and newest unit The 1NR-FE, with its unusual displacement of 1.33 liters, which replaced it back in 2008 and installed on 1% of cars, rarely needs attention. For example, after 80-100 thousand kilometers, due to shriveled seals, in some instances oil seeps out from under the gasket valve cover, front oil seal crankshaft or pan gasket.

The widely used 1.6 1ZR-FE engine is distinguished by its ability to cause minor mischief to drivers. Those cars that entered the market before 2009, with a mileage of approximately eighty thousand kilometers, can sometimes “delight” with a leaking pump. But in newer ones vehicles more advanced seals are used.

Do not overtighten unnecessarily drive belt, because neither the water pump nor the generator bearings welcome this. The oil pressure sensor cannot help but present surprises - it “snotty” as it passes along the thread. To get rid of this drawback, you just need to do a regular lift. In some cases, you will have to use a special thread sealant. In addition, do not forget to regularly pay attention to the coolant temperature indicators, because the functions of the thermostat may be impaired.

What should you expect from the transmission?

The most unexpected defect of all tenth generation cars was the transmission. Its name is MMT, Multimode Transmission. This is the simplest C50A robotic five-speed gearbox, which has only one clutch. In addition to the fact that this “robot” is not at all sweet (switching is quite long and often illogical), problems also arise with reliability.
As it turned out, from the very beginning, such a “robot” has a relatively slow “brain”. Therefore, the earlier version of the control system could not then respond even to the initial stage normal wear and tear clutch, and also incorrectly controlled the process of closing the discs.

As a result, the problematic areas of the “robot” were noticeably worsened - very strong jerks were observed and a constant twitching was felt during gear changes (first, second, reverse), assistance when starting disappeared (the car did not move without pressing the gas pedal).

Professional dealers first tried to improve the box by initializing and completely clearing the memory electronic unit management. But such measures gave only a one-time effect. Only in 2009 was it possible to slightly soften the severity of this flaw. It was at that time that a new control unit appeared on the market, which was equipped with cars under warranty.

The Toyota Corolla's clutch wears out relatively quickly - after about sixty thousand kilometers. At the same time, sharp temperature fluctuations led to disruption of the electric drive actuator, which sometimes stopped working while the car was moving. Thus, the box could go into neutral from one gear or another and refuse to shift.

As a rule, the breakdown manifested itself in traffic jams on one of the city roads, when the car was at low speed. Throughout 2010, the Japanese strengthened the clutch several times and modified the actuator. In addition, the masters decided to remove the weak “robot” of their transmission from the copies entering the Russian automobile market.

Perhaps the only problem-free part was the mechanical part, which was borrowed from the five-speed C50. High quality This is explained by the fact that traditional “mechanics” are equipped with shaft bearings that can survive several clutch replacements, which occur every 120-130 thousand kilometers.

Until the car reaches the same mileage, there is no need to worry about replacing oil seals. drive shafts, losing their tightness over time. This property is characteristic of absolutely everyone Toyota transmissions Corolla. The C60 manual transmission, which has six stages, which appeared in 2009 after a global restyling, also does not fail. It makes more noise during operation, but is different long term operation.

Together with the six-speed C60, they also began using the four-speed automatic Aisin U340E (1999). It is not particularly fast, but is considered one of the most reliable - the first major renovation has to be carried out only after three hundred thousand kilometers.

What other secrets are hidden under the hood of the Toyota Corolla?

At the tenth generation Toyota not much available strong suspension compared to its predecessors. In the first batches, the cars were equipped with such support bearings front struts, which were only rarely able to travel more than 60,000 kilometers. Typically, in Toyota Corollas older than 2009, it would soon be necessary to install new bushings, as well as front stabilizer struts.

As a rule, shock absorbers were able to withstand at least 80,000 kilometers, and after 150 thousand they begin to give up and wheel bearings, which buzz loudly and act up. Manufacturers can rightfully be proud of their ball joints: their rubber does not crack for about six years. Silent blocks are no less high quality.

The elements of the braking system can boast of similar survivability. However, to do this, car owners need to regularly undergo Maintenance after every ten thousand kilometers. Because the guide calipers in the car are poorly protected and accumulate a large amount of dust and dirt, which leads to fairly rapid souring without thorough cleaning and regular lubrication.

Eleventh generation (E170):

Design flaws. TO design flaws Experts attribute the 11th generation Corolla to:

• weak acceleration of engines,
• stabilizer bushings,
• poor sound insulation,
• poor build quality of the front panel,
• a lot of problems are caused by a poorly closing trunk lid,
• Well, the most significant drawback is considered to be the unsuccessful tilt of the windshield, which leads to “triple” of light rays and deterioration of visibility in case of installation of defective glass (mainly applies to cars equipped with “Turkish” glass).

Suspension tuning features. The suspension of cars “in the back of E170” is quite well adapted to Russian road conditions and has good endurance. The car has a confident directional stability, much less of its predecessors rolls during high-speed maneuvers, as well as when cornering, has received a clearer steering. At the same time, the suspension transmits an excessive amount of vibrations into the cabin on uneven roads.

The engine vibrates in any operating mode. If the 11th generation Corolla engine vibrates excessively and the nature of the vibrations practically does not change when various modes its operation, then the cause of these vibrations is wear of the engine mounts. To solve the problem, you need to check the integrity of the pillows and replace damaged ones. Worn airbags are also indicated by vibration of the steering wheel. Idling.

Whistle when braking. As a rule, the main cause of whistling sounds when braking is a large amount of dirt getting into the space between the pads and the brake disc. To solve the problem, it is necessary to clean the surface of the disc and pads from accumulated dirt.

Creak of interior trim elements. Various creaking sounds appear in the interior of the E170 Corolla quite regularly. Treatment involves gluing decorative elements with 2-sided tape and treating moving elements with silicone grease.

Increased noise from the air conditioner. The reason for the increased noise of the air conditioner may be a dirty air conditioner radiator, forcing the fan to work at maximum speed. To solve the problem, it is necessary to clean the radiator from debris and dust that has gotten into its cavities.

Steering shaft rattling. Steering column– a problematic design element of Toyota Corolla of many generations. On the E170 model, its rattling may be caused by the development of lubricant in the splined part of the steering shaft. The second reason is the weakening of the fastenings of the crosses. To eliminate rattling, it is necessary to check the tightness of the fastenings of the steering column components and update the lubricant.

The trunk lid does not close the first time. A fairly common problem for the E170 body, which the manufacturer promises to fix during restyling. As a rule, the problem appears when you try to close the trunk by pressing the lid not in the center, but from the side. The reason lies in the insufficient rigidity of the trunk lid, which causes it to warp. Experts recommend closing the lid strictly behind the central part.

IN winter time The gas tank flap is difficult to open. The reason for the difficult opening lies in the unsuitability of the factory lubricant for Russian climatic conditions. It is recommended to lubricate the moving elements with frost-resistant grease.

Damage to the radiator from small stones, flying out from under the wheels of a car moving in front. This problem is caused by the radiator grille being too coarse. To fix the problem, it is necessary to install an additional protective grid.

Tenth generation (E150):

Weak spots. Experts include the weak points of the 10th generation Toyota Corolla:

• pump,
• robotic gearbox,
• steering column,
• stabilizer bushings,
• headlight washer nozzles,
• low quality plastic trim.

After replacing the battery, the speed started to fluctuate. If, after installing a new battery or simply removing/installing the terminals, the revolutions begin to fluctuate, then the problem lies in a failure in the settings of the electronic gas pedal. To fix the problem, you need to initialize the pedal.

Excessive jerking when shifting gears robotic gearbox . As a rule, this symptom is accompanied by a refusal of “assistance” at start or periodic independent activation of neutral. The cause of the problem lies in incorrect operation the actuator, which will require its replacement, as well as flashing the ECU.

Noise near the pump. The reason for excessive noise from the pump is wear and tear. components. As a rule, this symptom is accompanied by leakage of antifreeze. To solve the problem, you need to replace the pump. Note that most often this problem occurs on the pre-restyling version of the E150s.

Extraneous sounds when the engine is running smoothly. Appearance extraneous sounds Most often it is caused by a defective alternator pulley. First you need to check the reliability of its fastening. If the sounds persist, then the pulley will need to be replaced.

CV joint crunching when driving in reverse with the steering wheel turned all the way. The appearance of this symptom on the Corolla E150 indicates rapid wear of the CV joint. To extend the life cycle, it is necessary to check the presence and quality of lubricant, the integrity of the boots, and also clean the cavities of the CV joint from any debris.

The headliner is stained or warped.
