On the cob - vital information. Do not rely on RX mechanical boxes - there are only automatics here. Front-wheel drive cars are being explored, but there are still few of them. The new drive on the RX is with a traditional intermediate differential, and on restyled cars it is driven with a blocking viscous clutch. In principle, the same design was used on the RX of the first generation, but when the generation was changed, the drive scheme was easily forgiven. A car with such blockages does not become a serious poacher, but on slimy surfaces, the keratinization is a little better. Prior to that, without blocking the floor, the distribution box appeared to be as simple as it could be: to finish a couple of quills, to skid with an indestructible rear suspension. For example, on big drums when passing technical inspection.

The mechanical part of the transmission is showy superb. It’s more necessary to follow the pilyoviks of Shrusov, and after repeating hundreds of thousands of trials, listen to the vibrations at the start. Like a stink, you might have to rewire the cardan shaft, more precisely, I’ll go through the support, so that the expensive repair of the “pipe” itself will be saved. Don’t forget about those that the oil in the distribution box and the rear gearbox needs to be changed for 40-50 thousand kilometers in a run. It's there, obviously, not forever.

On front-wheel drive cars, early wear of CV joints, especially the inner tripod, is possible, which manifests itself in increased density and obvious overheating of the plastic cover with a trivial stress.

And now let's move on to gearboxes.

Automatic transmissions on all non-hybrid versions - different to the Aisin 95-51LS unit (for Toyota classification - U151F / E). In general, a classic - five steps, electronic control and a conservative design.

On most cars before restyling, automatic transmissions have a dipstick, and on most American cars, with the option of towing a trailer, the box from the factory is equipped with a stronger radiator, and not just a heat exchanger in the engine radiator.

Є kіlka variantіv vykonannya control unit automatic transmission. For European cars, navigating to “tiptronic” is an option with manual shifting of gears, but in fact, all boxes are absolutely the same in terms of resource and capabilities.

Mono-drive boxes 151E are cheaper, and they put them on Camry, RAV4 and a couple of other models in exactly the same way, so in times of need you can know a fully automatic machine with a larger light machine with a weak motor. On an important crossover navit monoprivodnyh box navantazhen already strongly. Povnoprividnі automatic transmission 151F is more expensive than more low in the second time and chant less redundant resource.

Prote, the automatic transmission of the E series perfectly transforms into F, it is only necessary to change the “link”, the head pair, and sometimes put the reference disk and sensors. Tse allow significantly speed up in the event of an automatic transmission breakdown. Deisno, the repair of a five-step wheel will sound more expensive than 60 thousand, and more for everything, the price will be twice as much: the “standard” set of spare parts with a new sorting will sound the thrust by 30-50 thousand, often the planetary gears play, and "Or inspired. And a negligent contract unit can be bought cheaper than 50 thousand, but the automatic transmission model is even wider.

Toyota drivers with experience know that only the above boxes, buildings, when changing the oil, can travel 300-400 thousand kilometers without any special problems. So why such respect for repairs?

On the Lexus RX, the box is heavily overwhelmed, especially when paired with a 3.5-liter engine. With a run of less than 200 thousand cars are regularly hit, boxes of which can be shtovhat and hit. That povniy vihіd s fret, unfortunately, not such a great rіdkіst. Before that, the software security of American cars showed up sharpening in an unsettled style of transferring.

Forty cars, with the least turbulent DMRV and throttle, and small colivans in the parameters of lambda sensors, with which motors feel more like themselves, repair “shtovhati” only through a malfunction of the control system. Absolutely standard problems are knocking down when moving down, especially when there is a sharp acceleration after a steady rush. In the event of a significant dispersal from the month, the problem is less pronounced and is connected mainly with the shortcomings of the automatic transmission itself.

Solve the problem with the new software of the box, and often help. If the automatic transmission is "free" in order, and the hydroblock is not blocked, the situation, as a rule, improves. And then sound the need for input into the engine: cleaning the MAF, rechecking the throttle body and cleaning it, rechecking and adapting the TPS. It often helps to change the spark plugs, especially for MZ motors.

The hydraulic block is traditionally for Aisin more sensitive to oil contamination and does not like aggressive waters, as it erases the AMD blocking linings during intensive acceleration. Then you will love the old box filter and a good old radiator with a thermostat.

For the mechanical part of the automatic transmission, finish the job. In the first part of the year, I wear a smart caliper of the rear cover of the automatic transmission and the first ring of the cuts. With turns of the vice in this zone, the Ovedrive package suffers, and in other cases, the Direct. Often the first cause is a breakdown of the head bearing of the cap, which is often reversed when the blows are obvious when the other and third gears are on. For re-verification, it is not necessary to lift the box, finish the troch, lower the power unit onto the frame.

Operation on ferrous oil can be carried out until the pump cover and bushing, as well as the VMD seal, and to progressive problems of the valve body.

Unfortunately, with tight motors there is a risk of a slow planetary gear Forward (rear). It has a backlash of the axes of the satellites, and in the neglected falls, its teeth were bent, strongly shaking the box as a whole.

From time to time it is necessary to change and replace the salts themselves in order to avoid problems with the mechanical part. Basically - solenoids of a linear vice and solenoids of SL1, and in other cases - of SL2-SL3.

Cars of the first years of release may not be the most distant modification of the hydroplate, and for the increase in the efficiency of the work, it is more likely to replace in the collection for the larger version (2005-2009 of the release date).

Hybrids were equipped with a different transmission. Sometimes they call it a variator, but to traditional designs with a belt or a lancet, there can’t be any change.

The Synergy Drive has a differential drive with an electrical link in the low torque range. Didn't you understand? On the fingers, explain to do it smoothly, but we'll try it.

Show your design with two differentials, one of them to divide the potency on two pins, and the other one is taken together again. If you put a gearbox on one of the wheels, and the differentials are asymmetrical (for example, only a small part of the tightness was transferred to the box), then it looks like a Synergy drive. Only the replacement of the gearbox here is an electric transmission, and two differential gears look like one folding planetary multi-mode transmission. Elektrichna transmission can be all over the rose -єdnuvati provyd (in the Tsom Vipad, the car is їhati tilki on the Electric Tyazi), prazuvati in the regime of the generator of the Blokavati Gloka for the pre -trial blocked (all the attempts of the engine were transmitted through " tongue). By varying the “gear ratio” of the connection between the generator and the electric motor, you can choose whether the gear ratio is for the gear box like the internal combustion engine and the output shaft. I'm guessing, has it become more sensible?

Anyway, don't worry: the design is smartly foldable, multi-mode and unique in its own way. And surprisingly not primhliva in robots, and even here there is a minimum of folding hydraulics, the mechanics are overpowered, and the focus is mainly on the electric part.

motori

The line of engines of the Lexus RX is no longer at odds with its scope, but for the sake of clarity it is powerful. Before restyling, the cars were equipped with V6 engines of the MZ series with a volume of 3.0 and 3.3 liters, after the restyling, the variant of this engine was replaced by hybrids. All are engines 1MZ-FE and 3MZ-FE, the old "fighters" of the Toyota school.

After restyling, the engines of the new 2GR-FE series with a volume of 3.5 liters became the basis of the engine. Hopefulness in general they have naivishcha, but deyakі weak mіstsya all the same.

radiator

price for original

45 266 rubles

With regular maintenance, all motors may have a chance without serious repairs to change 300-350 thousand kilometers, and with good luck, step over five million kilometers. And the enemies of these engines are well known to us: not far from the choice of oils, overheating, coarse filters, malfunctions of the eating and control systems, malfunctions in the robotic transmission and aggressive water.

The main weak point of all Lexus RX (crime hybrid version) is the main radiator. Regular replacement and control of leakage is a guarantee of a long life of motors. Radiator skhilny to flow tanks in the lower part. As richly someone vvazha, through not far away constructions and reinforcements pros_daє dovga lower part. Non-original universities often create more resources and problems are less subtle, but it is necessary to keep the stitches so that the stench does not show up thinner.

Also, on all motors, the pump resource is lower than the average, so you should regularly “listen” to the varto. It is especially common to get out of tune on 2GR, but on MZ motors, this vuzol is also not bezdoganny, but before that it is foldable in replacement.

Motori MZ is famous for its resource, and on passenger cars the stink is really “eternal”. Ale about deyakі rechі remembrance to bring.

Timing belt 1MZ-FE

price for original

2 403 rubles

First, in these motors, the timing is driven by belts. It’s worth it, just don’t forget to change it and don’t save on details. І steps for oil leaks, which are not safe for a timing belt. It's a pity, the leaks in the old motors are streaked. Often leaking caps and seals, for which you can say “thank you” to the simple crankcase ventilation system.

There is one more unacceptable feature - schilnist to detonation. Installing the wrong spark plugs, running on 92 petrol, polluting the radiators - all this greatly reduces not only the pressure, but also the resource. It is necessary to carefully follow the camp of the detonation sensors, as fans of the brand recommend replacing them with new ones after ten years of work.

The design of the cooling system is also designed to deliver a lot of unacceptable particles. At the dispensing block, the hose for bypassing the small stake of the system, which warms up and cools down to leaks. It’s easy to get to the new one - it’s necessary to take the entire intake. It’s also not easy to get to the thermostat, which is desirable and necessary, but not eternal: it’s necessary to either lift the intake, or seriously examine the overhead possession of the end of the motor. It is often necessary to change the thermostat gasket more often, and I will be able to leak.

Throttle zabrudnennya and crankcase ventilation systems, step by step "rozpovzannya" її tubules - tse "sickness" of all old motors. And the axis of the guts to climb around the wiring of the injectors chomus zustrіchaєtsya mainly in RX. It has been re-stashed in the block, and whether or not repairs are being remade on a serious basis.

Valves of the phase shifters require regular replacements to prevent overworld interference on the timing.

In the photo: Lexus RX 330 "2003-06

Throttle here is more cunning: with mini-throttles, which surround the tightness of a cold engine, and a folding form. As a result, it’s easier to get confused, it would be easier to lower, and it’s easier to promit yoga. Try carbcleaner no longer see, you know and remember, and the older the motor, more often.

In the other motor and city, it is also very inexpensive. Like in repair, so in replacement.

Lanzug Timing 2GR-FE

price for original

5 Try: 150 rubles

After restyling, two motors were replaced with one, but with a volume of 3.5 liters and an exhaustion of approximately 270 k.s., which significantly increased the dynamic parameters of the machine. The timing drive of this engine has a varto lantsyug, and its control system is much larger than the current one. Ale skladnoshchiv with tsimi motors, no matter how much fresher the release, more, and the stink itself is more expensive.

The most safe generic problem - oil pipeline on cars 2006-2008 release date. When running more than 50 thousand kilometers, the humic hose in the timing system phase control leaked, and the amount of oil in the system was such that it took five minutes to blow the motor through. Heritage -. During the campaign, dealers changed the hose, and on larger machines, two pipes and a hose were replaced with one pipe. When choosing a machine for this particular nuance, pay attention to the cost of the hose, and immediately replace this part 15772-31030.

"Problem of the fifth cylinder" on which engine navit took away its name - "PPC". In fact, on the 2GR-FE the problem of the first cylinder is worse, and the fifth cylinder is dead on the 2GR-FSE engines on the next generation model. When operating on smoky roads, through the special design of the intake, the penetrating saw begins to drive in the first and fifth cylinders. To bend the inlet valves, there are scuffs, the compression ring may rupture. Everything is aggravated by the filthy circulation of the cooling air in this zone.

The same problem manifests itself when the catalyst is “dead”, so follow the yoga camp. When buying, it is recommended to take a good look at the intake manifold and throttle for the presence of a dog, and do not mess up the endoscopy of the cylinders. І navitiy zavіchayny zavіchaynyy zavmer kompresії mаy bаgаtо rozpоіstі stаnі motor.

After buying a varto, add only a small amount of filters, put them on silicone grease and stitch behind the catalyst camp, especially in the regions, de richly start at low temperatures: the stink is very bad for this vuzol.

Pump 1MZ-FE

price for original

5 152 rubles

Pompy resource for an hour to imaginative maly: the original can leak with runs up to 50 thousand. Cars from cold regions are especially vulnerable. Before that, the motor is more sensitive to the level of heat and power of the cooling system, so you can’t do without slight overheating.

When operating on low-viscosity oils SAE30 and regular high pressures in hot weather, it is possible for liners to score. For RX, it is especially relevant due to the great mass of the machine and the connectedness of the movement of advancement. After 200 thousand miles, it would be bad to remove and clean the crankcase and the oil pump intake pipe. For important operation, it is better to vicorate the oil with a viscosity higher than SAE40.

The resource of lancers is col- lected in a wide range in the fallow period depending on the style of exploitation. It is not uncommon for cars with lancets, which have passed like over 250 thousand kilometers, so make up when driving less than a hundred. True, the noise of the lansyug at startup is often confused with the noise from the couplings of the phase shifters, which is not the last rank here. Tsey noise dosit not shkidlivy, mufti mіtsnі, ale perfectionists vin will be unacceptable. The price of new couplings is high, and the noise is guaranteed to appear when driving over 60 thousand. Regardless of the price, small shortfalls, the motor is resourceful and reliable. І navit easy to repair.

It's a pity, a tribute for engines more than 250 forces is great, which is unacceptable for saving money in the operation of cars. Vtіm, if you want more "fresh" in the whole car, you have no other options.

visnovki

If you need a practical car, then buy a Toyota. If you need a car with a “soul”, and with respect for details - take a Lexus. RX is usually more convincing.

Good body, stuffing, motor and box. Vіdminniy design and interiors, vіdminniy comfort and a whole lot of decent running capacity - everything is in the car. І navit price does not bite.

Among the minuses, it is called spending money on fire, and when it comes to cars after restyling - on taxes, moreover, 270 k.s. do not shy away from a crossover racing car. Moreover, the difference in dynamics with cars before restyling and engines with a volume of 3.3 liters is not noticeable.

In the photo: Lexus RX 300 "2003-06

Choose, as always, to cost a specific copy, shards of a lot of people from these cars were bought by "nazniki", as if they did not think about servicing and generously spent the resource of the car, saving on services.

І don't worry about the hybrid version. So, in the city of exploitation it is possible to “beat” up to 10-11 liters per hundred, which is not good for a great car, but problems with a hybrid are possible due to the cost of savings. Rather, buy a diesel car from Europe: there will be dynamics, less maintenance costs, and ceramics. I smut - the car will be in front of you (you must choose correctly), and the axis of the podkine hybrid will be foldable.

Lexus RX

Lexus RX is a mid-range crossover produced since 1997. In the line of Japanese companies, RX occupies space between compact NX and frame. Lexus RX was sold on the Japanese market under the name of Toyota Harrier, after the release of the third generation of models, they began to resonate.
RX Competitors: Range Rover Sport, Mercedes-Benz ML, BMW X5, Volkswagen Touareg, Infiniti QX70 (FX) / QX60, Acura MDX, Cadillac SRX, Nissan Murano and the like.
Move the Lexus RX very well and do it hard.
The first generation was equipped with a three-liter 1MZ engine, at that time, like a similar Harrier, victorious row-fours. The other RX has a mini V6 1MZ, as well as a 3.3 liter 3MZ.

Lexus RX ( Lexus RX) is a premium mid-size crossover manufactured by the Japanese company Toyota. Most car enthusiasts, with the brand name Lexus, come to mind of a designation: prestigious, sophisticated, technological, and, smut, superior car. If you are suitable for such hardships, then, in principle, you need to measure, prote, navit from the most expensive and most expensive cars, there are a lot of shortcomings and nuances. And the axis, yakі stink, and on what should be respected when choosing a Lexus RX with a test on the secondary market, we will try to get it right at once.

Traces of history:

Previously, the Lexus RX was presented at the Chicago Motor Show in 1997, and in the upcoming rotation, the serial production of the car was improved (in the domestic market of Japan, the car was sold under the name "Toyota Harrier"). Another generation of the car was presented in September 2003 at the Pivnichno-American International Motor Show. In the previous generations, the car was changed in size and changed a lot of body parts, regardless of the price, its sound practically did not change. The main changes touched the internal improvement. Now, the basic configuration is equipped with premium materials and a great package of options, which were previously available only in top configurations. Starting from another generation, the Lexus RX is produced not only in Japan, but also in Canada. The third generation of cars debuted in 2009 at the auto show in Tokyo. In 2015, at the New York Auto Show, the premiere of the fourth generation of this model took place.

Weak months and shortcomings Lexus PX II with a test

Traditionally, for Japanese cars, the Lexus RX II cannot boast of its lakofarb coatings. As for the corrosion resistance of the body elements, there are no complaints about them. In the same place, you will need special \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bwear, the hood, on the right, in the fact that there are the most skillful slabs, at which time there is an irzha (the problem is viirish). So, varto signifies a weak frontal slope, wind a small stone, which will fly the wheel in front of the car, you can send the dealer a tidy bag. From the lack of bodywork, you can see: a small resource for the rear door drive (to go out of tune once every 100,000 km), weak light and fogging of the head optics.

dvigun

Lexus PX II, being equipped with only gasoline power units, in the absence of engine volume, the car was assigned an index: 3.0 (RX 300 204 hp), 3.3 (RX 330 233 hp), 3.5 (RX 350 276 hp). s.), hybrid version 3.3 (RX 400h 210 and 268 k.s.). All dviguns are overpowered, but it is impossible to call them trouble-free. The most popular dvigun 3.5 has problems already after 150,000 km of driving. Most of the trouble is added by the in-line radiator, richly Vlasnikov pointed out that with the replacement of non-original radiators, the problem is not repeated so often. So, up to the main shortcomings, you can see the damage in the robots of the EBU . The problem lies in the fact that the control unit is adjusted according to the Euro 4 standard, and, if there is a non-acidic fire, immediately display on the control panel an alert about a pardon in the robotic engine. After the diagnostics, the code of the pardon indicates the inadequacy of the coils, but, after their re-verification, as a rule, it appears that the stench is in the right state.

Often, for a run of 80-150 thousand. Km, the depressurization of the gum section of the oil supply pipe from the cylinder block to the heads is required. In order to prevent the problem from recurring, it is recommended to replace the gum section with a metal one. One of the most serious problems, with which the Lexus PX 350 hairdressers are sticking, is the cracking of the coupling of the gas phases under the VVTi (it also affects other engines of this model). The problem is manifested by a thick creak when starting the engine, you can only put in a small amount by replacing this node. Base engines 3.0 and 3.3, like the top engine 3.5, often lead to the risk of overheating through a fluid cooling radiator. Like, do not use antifreeze for equal amounts and overheat the engine, the consequences can be even more summative (expensive engine repairs).

At the top engine view (maj lanzug timing drive), these power units are equipped with a timing belt drive . According to the regulations, the interval for replacing the belt of punishments is once every 100,000 km, but the deacons of the Vlasniks recommend replacing the three earlier, so that when shaving the piston belt, bend the valves. All engines are sensitive to the bitterness of the fire, and, as the car is refueled at non-transferred gas stations, problems with the catalytic converter and lambda probes are inevitable. Hybrid versions of the car are very rare for our market. Varto indicates that the purchase of a comfortable car with a hybrid installation in the next 7 years will not be true, but the battery life is not eternal, and their replacement will be more expensive. With a short hybrid (400h) it is possible to indicate a malfunction in the electronic control of a hybrid installation, so before buying such a car, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics at a specialized service station.

Transmission

This model is equipped only with an automatic five-speed gearbox. The transmission is nadiyna, but is not affected by different operational characteristics (shifting of gears is dependent on rivkami). There are two ways to correct this shortfall: the first is to replace the oil and filter; the other is flashing the transmission control unit. Varto signify that one of the methods does not give a guarantee that if the problem will not be repeated after 5-10 yew. Km I'll go. If we talk about technical faults, then, especially if nothing is revealed, with diligent maintenance (oil change every 40-50 thousand km), the transmission will last 250-300 thousand km. Km. The most unacceptable, as they trap with these boxes, the ducts of the oil seals are important (replacement once every 100,000 km).

All versions of the Lexus RX II are equipped with a full drive system (vintage may be imported from the USA). The system is given to finish the job, but, regardless of the price, look at the car as a modern poshlyahovik not varto. In terms of transmission to whom everything. No critical considerations for the coupling of the second drive, cardan shafts and CV joints are not marked.

Reliability of chassis Lexus RX

The car is equipped with an independent pidvіska: in the front there are MacPherson-type racks, in the back - a luggage rack. In the basic configurations, steel springs are installed, in the top configurations, air struts are installed, which allow you to adjust the road clearance in the range of 155 to 210 mm. Offending types of suspensions to make it comfortable and badly cope with the roughness of our roads, but such suspension settings have a negative effect on the car's rolling (when passing turns on medium and high speeds, the car cannot be rolled). The most weak point of the suspension is the rear wheel bearings, occasional slips, if the stench began to buzz after 20,000 km of driving.

Stands and bushings of the stabilizer, on average, come out at 30-50 yew. Km. Shock absorbers and support bearings with average loads live 80-100 km. Approximately walking styles and silent blocks of the front important. Kermovi tips, kulovі supports and front hub bearings travel 150,000 km. The rear suspension has a larger window and rarely brings unacceptable surprises at the sight of faults, be it any elements. So, for example, rear link arms live close to 100,000 km, and floating silent blocks can please with a range of 100-150 yew. Km.

Pneumopidviska serve up to 100,000 km (pneumoballoons and supports come out of the way), but the repair is unacceptable (the cost of one strut is 500-700 c.u.). The compressor can last up to 200,000 km, but, as a rule, the valves are repaired every other time for a run of 150,000 km. Quite often, pneumo-pneumatics come out of harm's way through rotten wiring. The steering rack is a weak point in steering control, it can start running after 100,000 km of driving. As soon as you pay respect to the danes of the disease, you can make a light sling and repair the rail (you need to replace the plastic bushings), in another case, you can change the entire vuzol. From the short galmive system, you can see the swedish wear of the front pads - 25-35 thousand. Km, і diskіv - 40-50 yew. Km (through overheating, they use geometry, fix the problem by helping to replace regular disks on ventilation).

salon

Salon vikonaniya in the best traditions of the premium brand - privavlivy design іz zastosuvannyam expensive building materials. And, axis, the acoustic comfort is too bad. On the right, in the fact that with rocks the salon is reminiscent of third-party creaks and rattles. As far as the reliability of electricians is concerned, then there is no special respect for it, ale, deyakі elementi, s rokami, happen to be replaced. One of the biggest inaccuracies is the failure of the air conditioner compressor. It would have been better, the problem of drib'yazkov, ale, schob її usunut, to be brought to life close to 800 c.u. Often, after removing the terminal from the battery, the scumbags do not repair correctly, in such a state they happen to go to the service and reconfigure the control unit. In case of defective pirated CDs, problems with the CD-changer can be caused, and occasional crashes, if after a bad crash, the programmator needs to be repaired.

Z'ednannya branch pipes in the oil line

Let's spread the mist in this mainline was the installation of branch pipes in the gum section. As a rule, the elimination of faults was caused by replacing the gum elements with metal ones. When buying, it is absolutely necessary to drive the car into the inspection hole and check it visually for oil leaks.

Clutch of the system of phases under gas distribution.

We are ill with misery in this element - gears. When the gears go out of fret, you can feel a loud creak when starting the engine. This non-acceptability was observed in the region of 20 thousand. Passing a car. First of all, in this situation, then, which is fixed, a breakdown is given by replacing the node. Therefore, when buying, it is necessary to pay attention to the respect and evaluate the mufti's practicality by ear. If screeching is present, conduct diagnostics.

Out of the fret of catalytic converters and lambda probes.

Do not say what a mass phenomenon, but enough vipadkіv. The reason for these inaccuracies was not the design flaws, but the quality, more precisely, not the quality of gasoline. The signs of a catalytic failure are the trival start of the engine, the decrease in pressure, and the sudden start from the exhaust system. Therefore, when buying a car, it is necessary to pay attention and respect, if the catalyst has not been tested and a flame arrester has not been installed. Otherwise, the replacement procedure or the installation of a flame arrester is not a cheap procedure. When the robotic lambda probe goes out of tune, damage to the robotic engine will appear.

Steering rack.

Kermovi slats are not durable on all cars, but in times of leaks, the slats on the Lexus RX330 happen to change the entire vehicle. However, during this time, most of the auto services learned how to troubleshoot the valve and find out the reasons for the appearance of a leak.

Cooling system radiator.

Tsya sore Lexus vyyavlyalas mainly through getting into the unprotected space of the radiator reagents, like sippayut roads. In the wake of what the aluminum stylniki rose with the hour. This problem was blamed mainly on the operation of the car in great places. Revіriti tekti radiator not hard stock.

Rear wheel bearings.

The problem is the same, as it is widened for three hundredths. The criterion for the term of service or the test is not possible. Therefore, bearings can get out of tune at some point. The main factor contributes to the change in the term of service of the hub bearings and the aggressive operation of the car.

Weak months and shortcomings Lexus РХ330 was last modified: June 2, 2018 by Administrator

Few people know that the world's first serial hybrid pozashlyakhovik was not made by the Japanese, but by the conservative Americans. Tse buv Ford Escape Hybrid. So, there was little of the past-season in the new one, so, in the region of the viskhid dry land, at that hour, the hybrids riveted not the first river ... But the very fact itself strongly dratuvav nashchadkіv samurai.

KNOWN POWER

And why did the sensation of a hybrid car come into play? Chi є in the new schos, krіm marketing primh avtovirobnikіv i pressing "green"? What is the advantage over, let's say, a small-capacity and economical engine of internal combustion with a system for cleaning exhaust gases? Behind the food itself, it was understood that the main bonus was the following in the economic and environmental fields. As a buttstock, we take our hero - Lexus RX450h, the power plant of some kind works for the parallel hybrid scheme. The engine of internal combustion, which works according to the Atkinson-Miller cycle with three-way intake valve openings and a high degree of compression, is switched on at medium speeds and more, it is practically not a hammer at idle and uniquely the least motor assisted driving. Rozgіn z mіstsya, rіzke priskornnya, rіh in trials - all tse significantly zbіlshuє vitrata paliva and rіvіn shkіdlivih vykіdіv. Moreover, it should be observed in the months of the maximum concentration of people. And so it turns out that the motor, in principle, is small in size and economical, the dynamics are not involved, the electric motor helps, it is smaller and the lighter is lower. The advantages of hybrids are obvious. Mensh is obvious, but it is very important for us, it can be shown, dosledzhuyuchi became right on the secondary market. Not so long ago, I had a chance to talk with the head of the eleventh Toyota Prius. This is due to the fact that the same power unit follows the principle of robotic power generation in the Lexus RX450h. So the axis, the most smut, that I felt like a “priusovoda”, - wines do not break in any way. Tobto zagali! Well, the progressive wear of the running gear, well, light bulbs, window materials, vodkoli on the body - it made sense. But, what is the cost of the engine, transmission and electrical systems - everything is namingly superfluous, may not care about the service and do not waste your living powers after 300 thousand runs. In order to find out, how much per hour of operation, having fallen into the battery life, we tried with him to run in the “Electro” mode of the style, the skilki weide. There were two and a half kilometers of great zamіsky roads. The eighth world Lexus RX400h, following the words of the Vlasniks, will pass through mayzhe chotiri. Come out, after our winters, serving and torn mіskogo rhythm battery alive for all living. Vlasne, tse everything that the potential authorities of hybrid cars are afraid of, but not everything that stinks can stop in the process of operating the third generation Lexus RX450h.

The battery is protected by an eightfold warranty

YAK IN ALL

Krim unique "hybrid" problems, the Lexus RX450h has the same, so to say, typical for a leather car. Povyazanі khіba scho zі specific brand and model. For the running gear of hybrid Japanese crossovers, it is most likely to be swayed by knocks in the rear axle. Naimovіrnіshe, tse stіyki stabilizatorіv. In general, copy details (like and їх replacement), yakbi tse buv not Lexus. The original cost is close to 2,000 rubles, but you can find a good postal worker for 800 rubles. For purely gasoline versions, the hybrid was not equipped with air suspension, which reduces the service rate by a troch. Springs will cost 28 thousand rubles per pair, shock absorbers - 10. Often, for others, you will need to replace and the upper transverse valve of the rear suspension - the silent block is worn out. It seems that yoga can be repaired in the main, but more often it is possible to change all the important things, which are equally inexpensive: about 6 thousand for the important and 4.5 thousand for the change. Tapping can go and in the form of a short pulling rod

matochini, yak koshtuє vіd 5 thousand for the original. In another case, due to the stabilizer’s speed, up to 150 thousand kilometers, the suspension does not affect, regardless of those that it is more involved than the sound, the battery is placed over the rear suspension.

Minimum road clearance in the area of ​​the gas tank warehouse 180 mm

The front suspension did not show up as typical problems, although fans of hard driving often suffer for the wear of the hub bearings. Well, stabilizers, where would you be without them. You can also replace troch for 50 thousand. The bearing will cost 3 thousand for the original, and half the sum, for example, for Koyo. Stabilizer legs cost 700-800 rubles per item. The knock of the steering rack ends, as a rule, with the replacement of the tips. Price is not so expensive, how can you get it - about 5 thousand for a pair. The rake itself is worth finishing, but if you don’t take care of the savings of the bags, then you can spend it on a replacement, but almost 40 thousand rubles without work!

In the capacity of transmission on the Lexus RX450h, the E-CVT variator was installed. It is used with a planetary clutch, which drives the front electric motor with an internal combustion engine, and a starter-generator. Totally superb design, regardless of the large number of knots. There were no serial vidms, serious vicious campaigns tezh. The variator allows you to select virtual transmissions manually and gives you the ability to vibrate in three possible modes: economy, normal and sports. Tse not rahuyuchi electric ...

Nothing special can be said about the engine. Regardless of the index 450 in the name of the model, under the hood of the 2GR-FE hybrid crossover is a 3.5-liter V6. In fact, the same as on the RX350, even though the deforcings are up to 249 k.s., for a special working cycle. The timing belt drive is a lancet, so when replacing it, it will cost 5 thousand rubles. You need to change the drive every 150 thousand kilometers, and it is unlikely that it will work more often, but the very design of the hybrid car does not allow the engine to be worn out. The food can be blown up to the injectors, through a low level of heat. It’s not easy to remember, splinters and idling at the internal combustion engine, let it in, but it doesn’t, that rivki during acceleration will compensate for the electric motors. Until 2010, the oil supply system to the VVTi system failed, but after replacing the storage tube for a full and mass service campaign, the problem arose. Buvay, grunting clutch change phases. Її you can replace, as if fighting, but you can not change it. Some people complain about the pompi tekti, but the problem did not become a mass one. In a word, a wonderful, tedious Japanese motor, which cannot please the most terrifying journalist, is ugly.

but badly cope with piskom and snow.

YAK IN ALL

The most serious problem of the hybrid Lexus RX of another generation has become the rapt electric part of the drive. More precisely, the inverter of the system of eating the electric motor-generator. And it doesn't matter, as a result of overheating of the power transistor switches themselves, or the breakdown of the inverter cooling pump. It is important that the block was either changed under warranty / campaign, or purchased for 700 dollars on Ebay ... There are no such problems on the Lexus RX450h. First of all, the official dealers seem to say that they don’t know, but when it comes to service, the campaign to replace the inverter is ... On the right, sensors were added to the cooling system of the unit, like they turn on the jet, so the pressure outweighs the pump’s capabilities. The Vlasnik needs more respectfully to keep a stock of coolant in the expansion tank, or else I would like to show respect on the indicator panel of accessories. Back before entering the critical mode, about the safety, there is a signal of a malfunction in the cooling system. The inverter board itself costs three times more than 100 thousand rubles, and the entire unit costs more than half a million, so the signal should not be ignored.

There are two electric motors in the Lexus RX450h. Pratsyyuyut stench independently one type of one, leading to the skin of his entire. Buvayut vkrai rіdkіsnі vpadki poshkodzhennya body of the rear electric motor, the shards of the wines hang on the side of the differential and do not prikrit. A contract gearbox with an electric motor can be found for 40 thousand. Original new - twice as expensive. Front unit, new, original and ready to install, cost approximately 220 thousand rubles. Approximately 150 thousand pieces of generator, which is one hour and a starter for internal combustion engines. It is impossible to say that the electric motors are in no way out of tune, but the floorings are rare, but no characteristic problems have been identified.

The first terrible words “hybrid battery” have not been slandering anyone for a long time. І in - 36 ° C won't work, and a resource of ten years is easy to survive. I'm on the verge of eating the main food, storing it in the rear row of seats and in the trunk of the Lexus RX450h. Until the speech, do not varto fill up with luggage the space between the first and the other next to the seats. There are air intakes of the cooling system and ventilation of the battery water. If you close it, the battery may overheat and go into emergency mode. The warranty term for the entire block of elements is stored in Russia in the spring of the year. Skіlki-nebud chastnye zmennen z drive v_dmovi accumulator not revealed. However, the next thing to remember is that the new battery will be used by the new Nivi - mayzhe pivmillion rubles.

Lexus hybrids on the cob of sales cost a lot more expensive than their big brothers. They were sold like that, wanting the hairdressers to quickly understand, how far away their choice was. On the secondary market, they can hardly get a hundred to the country. This includes both American versions and those officially sold by us. Vartist starts in the second half of the millions. As a matter of fact, you don’t like a hybrid in principle, you are not a retrograde, you live close to a qualified service and you don’t look at the off-road important, lower the snow in half a wheel, - hybrid Lexus

The RX450h will be one of the best things to do in your life. The one that is Lexus, and the one that is hybrid. That transport tax on a new lower, lower on a higher RX, may be higher, shards are declared \u200b\u200btension 249 k. vvazhaetsya according to the motive of internal fire, and not for marriage. In a word, not a car, but the light of the future!

The car is even more worthy of its roots. Navit not with dynamics up to a hundred, but with a mitt's reaction to the pedal. Moreover, like in the month, so in Russia. Too quiet. Comfortable interior, not in Japanese wide armchairs, excellent equipment. It seems that after the restyling of 2012, the rocky wines have become more beautiful. Vitrata is happy, I can get into the city in 8.5 liters.
