Production of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 began in September 2007. The Land Cruiser 200 was officially delivered to Russia with two engines: a gasoline V8 with a volume of 4.7 l / 288 hp (2UZ-FE) and a diesel V8 4.5 l / 235 hp (1VD-FTV). After restyling in 2012, the gasoline engine 4.7 liters was replaced by a more powerful 4.6 liters 309 hp (1UR-FE). In addition to Russia, the Land Cruiser was actively sold in Europe, North America and the Middle East. In Europe, the most popular diesel version of the “two hundred”. On the North American continent, the Land Cruiser 200 was offered exclusively with a gasoline V8 with a displacement of 5.7 liters (3UR-FE), developing 381 hp. For the Middle East, the entire set of powertrains mentioned above was available, as well as a more modest gasoline V6 with a volume of 4.0 l / 243-271 hp (1GR-FE). We will dwell in the most detailed detail on the experience of the operation of the Russian "two hundred".
2What buyers check
4.7
Some owners of gasoline 4.7 liters complain about the appearance of vibrations in the range of 1700-1900 rpm.
After 250-350 thousand km, some owners noted the appearance of oil-oil due to the late oil-removable rings or wear of oil-removable caps. The cost of repairs is from 200 to 600 thousand rubles.
The cost of updating the temporary drive of the valve timing will be about 80-100 thousand rubles.
4.6
After 120-150 thousand km can make noise the stretcher of the left chain of the valve timing (6000 rubles for the original or from 2000 rubles for an analogue). The disease is more typical for cars produced before 2015.
The cost of a full set of chain drive valve timing 30-40 thousand rubles, and work on replacement - about 25 000 rubles.
At 4.6 after 150-200 thousand km of run sometimes fails pump or valve of blowing of secondary air. The cost of the original pump is 35 000 rubles, and the analogue - from 10 000 rubles.
Diesel
The 4.5 liter turbodiesel has a reliable chain drive of the valve timing. The engine itself is not so perfect. Versions of diesel engines in 2008-2010 often sinned "oil" after 80-100 thousand km - up to 1.5-2 liters per 5000 km. Such an oily appetite is relatively small, but this turbodiesel is not prone to oil consumption at all. The cause of the troubles was in the vacuum pump of the brake amplifier. The tightness was broken, and the pump pump pumped air into the crankcase of the engine, increasing the internal pressure. Excess pressure contributed to increased oil consumption, including through the turbocharger. Later, in the second half of 2010, the design defect was eliminated. The cost of a new "vacuum" at dealers is about 20-22 thousand rubles, and work on replacement - about 5000 rubles. In the "stores" vacuum pump cheaper - about 15-18 thousand rubles. After 80-120 thousand km, the whistling of an additional pump with a coolant heater often began. The cost of the new node is about 60 000 rubles, analogue - about 15-20 thousand rubles. The turbocharger control unit is located in the right wing. Over time, dirt and moisture accumulates there, the block loses its tightness, which leads to failures in the operation of the unit or failure (54,000 rubles for the original). Russian diesel fuel of low quality in winter often forces to resort to unscheduled replacement of the fuel filter. Poor-quality fuel is expected to affect the life of fuel injectors. As a rule, they nurse at least 250-300 thousand km. The new injector will cost 69,000 rubles - for the original or from 30,000 rubles for an analogue.
General concerns
A common problem for both diesel and gasoline engines is the flow of the cooling pump after 100-150 thousand km. This problem faced many owners of various Toyota models. The cost of the new original pump is 14 000 rubles, a third-party manufacturer - from 2000 rubles.
After 200-250 thousand km can flow radiator cooling system (150 000 rubles for the original or from 17 000 rubles for the analogue).
The ignition coils of gasoline engines are handed over after 250-300 thousand km (3000 rubles for the original or from 2000 rubles for an analogue).
Transmission
The tremors when switching automatic transmission during movement, as well as at the time of stopping are caused not by malfunctions in the box, but by the "biting" of crosses of the rear driveshaft. Problems appeared after 20-30 thousand km and are well known to owners of the Prado 150. In most cases, the ailment occurred after the "syringing" of the cardans. If the tremors did not disappear, then the officials changed the driveshaft under warranty.
Faulty crosses of the driveshaft cause vibrations (1000-2000 rubles per cross).
After 200-250 thousand km, it was possible to update the flowing oil of the drive shaft (300 rubles).
Transmission
The machine, although it is considered reliable, but without major repairs sometimes could not do. The troubles were met after 300,000 km of running. The cost of restoration repairs reached 800 000 rubles. For the contract box ask 1.3-1.7 million rubles.
Walking
In the suspension, most often it is necessary to change the bushings and racks of the rear stabilizer of transverse stability - after 60-80 thousand km. After that, when running more than 80-120 thousand km, front hub bearings often began to buzz (14 000 rubles for the original or from 4000 rubles for an analog).
The rest of the suspension units are hardy and do not require replacement up to 150-200 thousand km. The front lower levers cost from 12 000 rubles for an analog or 26 000 rubles for the original.
Silent blocks on the rear axle nurse over 250,000 km.
Knocking in the steering wheel when passing small irregularities is another common phenomenon, well known to owners of the Prado 150. The disease developed after 30-40 thousand km, and its source is the slash connection of the steering shaft. In some cases, the "officials" resorted to replacing the steering column, but soon the knocking appeared again. Then he was driven out by installing pinch washers after a locking spring. But that wasn't a panacea either. Subsequently, the "craftsmen" invented a backlash compensator.
After 200-250 thousand km can knock or leak the steering rack. The cost of repairs is about 36 000 rubles.
After 250-300 thousand km can sway pump GUR (from 7000 rubles for analogue or 64 000 rubles for the original).
After 100-150 thousand km, acidification of the rear calipers occurs, after 200-250 thousand km - the front ones.
Other problems and malfunctions
On the very first Land Cruiser 200 often fell out front fog lights: flimsy mount. Later, the places of attachment of fog guards were finalized. When dealing with the problem, dealers changed the bumper entirely. On the Cruiser 200 over 14-15 years old, operated on roads actively treated with reagents, serious foci of corrosion are often found on the frame. The complex of works on the full restoration of the frame, thresholds and mounting points of the body to the frame with the separation of the body from the frame is estimated at 250-450 thousand rubles. Red spots on age specimens can be found under door handles and near door hinges. Corrosion can attack the front wing attachments. And because of the noise absorber in the arch of the right front wheel, the wing can rot right through. Often, owners of the Land Cruiser face swelling of chromium on the grille. This is also the case with a chrome lining on the trunk door. Over time, the paint is wiped off the thresholds: a whitish “weep” appears through the black surface. Also, sometimes the upper part of the trunk door wipes the paint on the lower flap to the ground. Often problems with the lock of the trunk door (after 30-60 thousand km), because of which the alarm of the open door is constantly illuminated, the lights in the cabin are turned on, or the regular alarm system fails. In addition, the lock stops working due to a faulty button - contacts are oxidized due to moisture. The button has to be repaired or changed (4,000 rubles). In the cabin, the coatings of the door handles are wiped over time, as well as inserts under the tree on the steering wheel and automatic transmission selector.

But the diesel engine incidents are particularly puzzling.
- Transmission: The tremors when switching automatic transmission during movement, as well as at the time of stopping are caused not by malfunctions in the box, but by "biting" crosses of the rear driveshaft. Problems appeared after 20-30 thousand.
