Today we take a look at an older, but still relevant car, which amazes with its reliability. We meet another Toyota from the 2000s – Toyota Avensis. Before us is the second generation Toyota Avensis. This car took the place of the Camry in Europe, as it met the needs of Europeans very well. This car was produced no

t only in a sedan, but also in a station wagon and a liftback. In general, there were no V-twin engines in this car. Only in-line “fours” are gasoline, including direct injection, as well as turbodiesels. In general, once again, this car has that same Japanese reliability and is therefore still in demand. Let's figure out what kind of fruit this is. Toyota Avensis surprises with the quality of body paint and the resistance of the metal to corrosion. Painted panels are reluctant to rust, but the

bottom of these cars, even at this age, is often very heavily corroded. At the rear, the niche for the spare wheel, cross member, side members and rear wheel arches are very seriously rusting. Often there is really very strong corrosion, so treating it with a barrier anticorrosive makes no sense. Corrosion develops less intensely from below on the sills , and there are very interesting cases when corrosion develops under the front mats, and this occurs due to the fact that the tube through which

condensate flows outside from the air conditioner evaporator is clogged. Corrosion often affects the windshield frame, or rather the edge on which the glue is applied, and this problem begins to be visible not only by the paint curling on the front part of the roof, but also due to water entering the cabin, because the joint between the body and the windshield ceases to be airtight. This problem also happens on Avensis, on which the windshield was once replaced and when removing the glue, the p

aint underneath was scratched. Sometimes the rear window frame also rusts. The fact is that in severe frosts the layer of glue under the glass cracks. In general, with an elegant body without bugs, the Avensis can harbor unpleasant pockets of corrosion. And the Avensis was equipped with both halogen and xenon headlights. Over time, in any case, the headlights become blind, that is, the lampshades become cloudy, and the coating on the reflectors behind the lenses disappears. Over time you have to

invest. There is the option of restoring standard headlights, there is the option of buying a used headlight, be sure to call AutoStrong, there is the option of non-original headlights from eastern manufacturers, and there is also the option of installing original LED lenses. The Avensis taillights are pressed against the body through seals made of porous material. Over time, these seals dry out, and dirty rainwater, or water after washing, gets into the lamp housing, and then through the hole

gets into the pockets behind the trunk lining. Often the trunk lock on Toyota Avensis fails, but this is fixable. You need to remove the lock and oxidation of the contact will be detected right under the plastic case, where the motor is located . In general, you need to remove these oxides, and then the lock will work. Water can get into the trunk button through the flimsy seal, but again, this can be solved. In most cases, carefully cleaning the circuit board of this button helps. The trunk loc

k may also work normally, but the lock will not open. If the rod that reaches to it from the key cylinder has become loose, Avensis owners have found a way to eliminate the play in the rod. They add a spring along the rod that pulls it toward the lock. Over time, squeaks appear in the depths of the front panel, as if there were mice in there. This is the creaking of the ventilation system flaps, which are constantly moving and cannot find the desired position. To solve this problem, you need to

get behind the glove compartment to the damper servomotor, disassemble the housings and there will be position sensor tracks there. So, you need to spread the lubricant along these paths again and then the servos will work without problems. Most often, the second generation Toyota Aventis is found with 1.8 liter petrol engines. This motor is designated 1ZZ-FE. This motor, compared to its predecessors, cannot be conditionally eternal and conditionally problem-free. The fact is that this engine ha

s an innate threshold, it is an oil burner. The design of the pistons was unsuccessful and the engineers struggled with it. In 2006 they announced that this problem had been solved. But until 2013, they worked little by little on this problem. In general, when the owners of these cars did a major overhaul, they most likely replaced the pistons with new-style pistons. Additional holes were drilled in the old-style pistons to drain oil. Today, it is not so uncommon for 1ZZ-FE engines to burn oil a

long with fuel; when buying a car with a 1.8-liter unit, you need to thoroughly rev it up and see if the engine spits out oil through the exhaust pipe. Also, oil can still escape through the valve seals. Otherwise, everything is not so sad. Yes, the 1ZZ-FE engine is disposable, there are no repair sizes. Yes, a lightweight alloy block can become deformed due to overheating. Well, the timing chain runs differently. Sometimes it’s 300 thousand kilometers, and sometimes it starts to rustle after a

mileage of 150 thousand. Avensis with a 1.6-liter engine is not so common; it differs from the 1.8-liter engine in having a shorter piston stroke and does not consume oil as quickly. The older gasoline fours under the hoods of Toyota Avensis are designated D4, but this is not a diesel engine, but direct injection. Yes, Japanese engineers were not pioneers in this, but they managed to create a fairly reliable system. If the owner of a Toyota Avensis with a direct injection D4 engine refuels in pr

oven places, then the fuel injection pump, injectors, and pressure sensor on the fuel rail will last 300 thousand kilometers or more. These engines, especially the 2-liter one, have long been surprising with the tearing off of the threads in the cylinder block for the cylinder head bolts. But all this is in the past. If you fill these engines with normal oil every 10 thousand kilometers or earlier, then these naturally injected Toyotas will last 500 thousand kilometers. The throttle must be kept

clean so that the engine switches to the lean mixture mode. It may be necessary to clean the crankcase ventilation system or replace the valve. But the swirl flaps serve completely without problems. Unless the control vacuum valve may fail. 4 lambda probes are a scary number and, surprisingly, last a long time. Usually they have to be changed one at a time. The bushing timing chain is capable of covering the same 500 thousand kilometers. It all depends on the service. If you skimp on engine oil

, this engine will rustle the pistons due to wear above the cylinder. In general, we disassembled such a motor on our channel. Please add to our playlist. There are quite a few diesel Aventis driving on our roads. They all came from Europe. Common Rail engines with Denso fuel system. Before the restyled second Aventis, they were equipped with 115-horsepower CD series engines. But here are several restyled versions of the AD series motors. We have a detailed review of these engines on our channel

. Motor 1 CD is a cast iron block and has a timing belt drive. He literally has no mechanical problems. At one time, at the turn of 2010, due to low-quality fuel, TI and high-pressure fuel pump injectors began to fail. Owners went to stations to spend thousands of dollars to get their fuel systems in order. This is Denso specific. The fact is that at that time it was impossible to repair injectors or fuel injection pumps. It was necessary to buy these parts new. AD series engines are Toyota's la

test turbodiesel fours. So, these are very unsuccessful engines. Literally every one was replaced under warranty. The reason is a defective cylinder head gasket. That is, gases from the cylinders penetrated the cooling system, and along with them transferred the impurities that were visible in the expansion tank. It seems that by the 2009 model year Toyota had solved this problem, but also more recent turbodiesel Toyota engines were capable and capable of blowing a head gasket. These engines are

also prone to oil consumption due to bad piston rings. And the most powerful 177 horsepower version of the D-CAT caused a lot of problems with its innovative but unreliable exhaust gas converters. In general, if engines of this series have run 200 thousand kilometers, then they will run further, because all their childhood illnesses have already been cured. The five-speed manual transmission on the Avensis may hum due to the ball bearing of the secondary shaft. First, this bearing creates a hum

, and then completely falls apart. On later cars, the manual transmission was improved, that is, this bearing was replaced with an improved one. But in any case, if the five-speed manual transmission starts to hum when working in tandem with the 1.6 and 1.8 engines, then this bearing must be urgently changed. The original one costs only 30 dollars. Also, a five-speed manual transmission may require replacement of oil seals. Pre-restyling Avensis have a different five-speed manual transmission an

d a different problem. The fact is that the gears of the fifth gear are falling apart, and this is a design flaw, because the mating area of ​​the teeth of the gears of this gear is too small. In addition, they are located in a separate compartment outside the main body and are poorly lubricated with oil. But collapsed gears will not harm other friction pairs in any way. In general, repairs happen quickly. To solve this problem, you need to replace the gear, clutch and bearing. But the restyled

diesel Avensis uses a six-speed manual transmission, which has not yet been noticed in breakdowns. Surprisingly, automatic transmissions on Toyota Avensis are more durable and less troublesome than manual ones. Each engine has its own transmission, but they are very similar in design. It will take 400 thousand kilometers for them to pass. This much needs to be changed every 50 thousand kilometers so as not to complicate the life of the valve body, the channels of which become clogged very easily

. And if you excessively abuse active driving and slipping, then these transmissions with very high mileage will go for repairs due to wear of the bearing in the rear cover and itself, as well as due to wear of the front planetary gear. In this case, these transmissions begin to hum. The U151E's five-speed transmission is made more powerful and lighter and can handle spirited driving, but its torque converter wears out faster. Therefore, you cannot save on replacing ATP. The more often you chang

e it, the longer this indestructible Japanese machine gun lasts. Well, now we’ll go to the service station to tell you more about this car. We have an advertisement for a warehouse in the city of Minsk. We are looking for good guys to work for us. Do you know about cars and want to put your knowledge and skills into practice? Welcome to work at AutoStrong. If you are interested, then I left all the details and contacts in the description. Well, now for a minute of advertising. At AutoStrong you

can purchase not only very high-quality used and new spare parts, but also oils, antifreezes, brake fluids, various additives, also windshield washer fluid and many car accessories. As icing on the cake, you can get this bald man flavor. And also don’t forget about our branded souvenirs. Well, we are at the service station and continue. The air conditioning compressor, or rather its clutch, is not very durable and can fail at any time. This breakdown can hardly be prevented. ABS unit for Avensis

" from Bosch. There is a problem that is known for other brands of cars. Namely, conductors between contacts and electronic circuits break off. But this problem can be easily solved with a soldering iron in about 2 hours. A curious serial breakdown of the Avensis. This is a broken left axle shaft. The fact is that the axle shaft breaks in half. Namely, in the place where the damper weight is placed on it. The fact is that moisture gets under this rubber part. The paint cracks and corrosion forms

. That's why it breaks. To avoid this problem, some owners cut off this damper. And this will help if the corrosion there is moderate. In this case, either the axle shaft was replaced with a non-original damper, or this damper was cut off. We can show you this damper on the right axle shaft. It is located exactly in the center. The original left axle shaft costs $500. The only substitute that saves you is that it costs only $30. You can also consider the option of a used drive. So be sure to cal

l AutoStrong-M. As the caliper guide bushings wear, their play increases. Therefore, the calipers begin to rattle when driving. And all this is the result of a lack of minimal maintenance, that is, cleaning and lubrication. And the whisk with a 1.8 engine is equipped with an electric rack. There are no problems with the electrical part. But at high mileage the rack begins to tap. It takes a long time to drive with this knock . But it is better to replace the rack bushings and adjust it. The soon

er you do this, the cheaper the repair will be. The hydraulic steering rack, which is installed on other versions, often leaks through the pipes and through its seals. And the power steering pump fails due to operation on minimally contaminated fluid. It has been noticed that if you change the fluid every 2-3 years and fill in low-viscosity compounds, then the power steering pump will last a long time. The Toyota Avesis front suspension is robust and durable. Bushings and stabilizer struts last

approximately 150 thousand kilometers. The original racks cost only $20. Bushings for 5 thousand. Everything else easily lasts 200 thousand kilometers in the Toyota Avesis front suspension. Ball joints are attached to the arms using threaded connections. The original ball costs $60. Original silent blocks are not for sale. The lever assembly costs $140. There are substitutes for $40. There are also substitutes for silent blocks. In general, the front wheel bearings already began to hum after a m

ileage of 100 thousand kilometers. Original for $30. Toyota engineers have gone too far with the rear suspension. It resembles Makvers racks, but the number of silent blocks here is off the charts. Three silent blocks in the lower guide arm, two in the upper. Plus, there is also this rod, reminiscent of a steering rod, in which there is a silent block and a tip. In general, if the total play in the rear suspension accumulates, then nothing knocks. Practically. But the car is starting to feel fid

gety. In general, adjusting the angles of the rear wheels and monitoring the condition of the rear suspension is needed every six months. Rear linkages are priced at $90, lower control arm bushings at $30. There are only six of them for the entire rear suspension. The upper control arms cost $170 and there are silent blocks for them separately. Today, Avensis has been like this for 18 years. But these cars don’t even think about giving up. Until the body completely rusts, these cars will drive,

despite all the fairy tales about disposable engines and terrible direct injection. In general, this is such a time machine, which confirms that Japanese quality and reliability rule.
