Toyota Camry V40

Toyota Camry sixth generation XV40 is one of the most popular sedans of business class. The model assembly for the Russian market was carried out in Japan, and since the end of 2007 in Russia (in Shushary, Leningrad region). In 2009, the sedan experienced a “facelift”. The radiator grille, the front bumper, turn repeaters appeared on the side mirrors, and a chrome lining appeared on the trunk cover. In the cabin increased in size of the display, and there was a new silver lining of the center console. In late 2011, the XV40 was replaced by the new Camry XV50. Toyota Camry 40 has earned a reputation for tenacious and enduring. In the Emirates, such cars rolled back as a taxi for 300 – 500 thousand km before they began to “crumble”. However, as experience shows, some system problems emerge after 200,000 km. But everything in order.

Engines

The cars officially sold in Russia were equipped with an inline 4-cylinder gasoline atmospheric engine of 2.4 liters (163 hp until 2009 and 167 hp after 2009 / 2AZ-FE), as well as a V-shaped 6-cylinder atmospheric 3.5 liters (277 hp / 2GR-FE V6).

In the secondary market there are examples from the United States with an atmospheric motor with a capacity of 2.5 liters (169 hp / 2AR-FE).

All engines have a chain drive with a resource exceeding 300,000 km.

Laying of the valve cover is given after 180-240 thousand km (300-1000 rubles).

After 200-250 thousand km, the oil appetite of the 2.4-liter engine increases noticeably. It is all about the unsuccessful design of oil-removable rings that lie in. The cost of repairs with the replacement of oil caps and rings will be about 60-70 thousand rubles.

Another common ailment of 2AZ-FE is vibration and roar due to wear of the gear of the balancing shaft (8,000 rubles for a new shaft).

The ignition coils have to be updated after 200-250 thousand km (2-4 thousand rubles). Interruptions in the operation of the engine can occur due to the drying of the aged wiring of the coils or broken latches of the chips of the coils.

In engines with a volume of 3.5 liters, the clutches of the VVT-i valve timing system begin to make noise over time (8,000 rubles per clutch).

The supports of power units get tired after 200-300 thousand km (from 2-3 thousand rubles for an analogue and 6-10 thousand rubles for the original).

Soon, the starter (brushes retracting relays) and the radiator (8,000 rubles for an analog or 27,000 rubles for the original) will require attention.

Transmission

Four-cylinder engines were paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic transmission (U250E), and the top-end V6 - with a 6-band automatic transmission (U660E).

The clutch of mechanics cares for more than 150-200 thousand km. The cost of updating it will be about 18 000 rubles.

The repair of a 5-speed machine is few.

The 6-speed machine is also quite reliable. Trouble is usually found among lovers of "lighting". The contract box can be purchased for 70-130 thousand rubles. Repairs will result in 100-150 thousand rubles.

After 200-250 thousand km, the SRUS is updated. The internal one is available for 5,000 rubles, and the replacement work is estimated at 3,500 rubles.

Walking

The suspension is generally quite hardy. Replacement of bushings and stabilizer racks will be needed after 80 – 100 thousand km.

Factory shock absorbers run more than 150,000 km. No less will serve ball supports and Silentblocks in the levers.

The steering rack can start leaking or knocking after 200,000km. For its repair will ask 11-15 thousand rubles. The original node will cost a fabulous 111 000 rubles, the analogue is much cheaper - 16 000 rubles.

Knocking in the steering can be caused by backlash in the slate connection (treated with special lubrication) or wear of the crosses of the steering cardinal (4-12 thousand rubles).

Front stage bearings pass over 200-250 thousand km. They change separately: 1-3 thousand rubles plus 1000 rubles for work.

The front brake discs (6-8 thousand rubles) can lead already at 30 - 40 thousand km. Those who are lucky, roll back 70 – 90 thousand km. The rear brake discs run over 100,000 km. Front brake pads (3-8 thousand rubles) remain in operation for 50 - 80 thousand km, and the rear (2-3 thousand rubles) - for 80 - 120 thousand km.

Other problems and malfunctions

The paintwork is good, as is the iron itself. The bare metal in the places of chips is not prone to corrosion. But the leashes of janitors quickly lose their presentation. Their coating is swelled after 2-3 years of operation. Such phenomena sometimes occur with the LCP wheels. The only thing that can not resist corrosion is the filler neck tube. It can rot to holes in 12-13 years (5-6 thousand rubles). On the dorestyling instances, sometimes a crack in the bottom of the front bumper appears - exactly in the middle. It occurs even after light contact with an obstacle. The reason is the unsuccessful design - there is a seam that does not withstand the load. It is treated by strengthening the problem area, for example, by applying a "tyre" from the inside. With age, the headlights lose their effectiveness - the glazing becomes cloudy, and the lenses burn out. To update optics with the installation of LED modules will need 20-30 thousand rubles. Salon business sedan is usually quiet and silent. In rare cases, the panels and the driver's seat creak. The skin on the chairs, the handle of the checkpoint and the steering wheel can lose its gloss and get rubbish after 60 – 80 thousand km. The air conditioner evaporator sometimes began to "spit with dandruff." This phenomenon occurred when the oxidation of the evaporator, which had to be changed: 6-9 thousand rubles and 8-10 thousand rubles for work. The heater motor (from 5000 rubles per analogue) can make noise after 200-250 thousand km. Periodically, it is necessary to update the steering train (2-4 thousand rubles). Overtaking clutch generator (2-5 thousand rubles) could fail after 150 - 200 thousand km.
