Toyota Kaldina 1998 Technical Specifications • Expert advice

The Toyota company produced not only sedans for fast driving, but also classic station wagons “for the dacha.” The Caldina station wagon was released on the basis of the Toyota Corona. When releasing the car, no adjustments to the concept were allowed; Kaldina was always produced as a station wagon. The car was positioned as a station wagon with high cross-country ability and good speed development.

There were top versions with all-wheel drive and a more active engine. Despite the fact that the model is exclusively right-hand drive, its activity in secondary sales in many parts of the world is not losing ground.

Tire and wheel sizes for Toyota Caldina 1998

The Toyota Caldina I 1998 1.5i (R-ET196V) is equipped as standard with wheel rims with assembly dimensions and tires 0/0 R0. Where:

• J - rim width in inches;
• » — tire diameter in inches;
• ET - disc offset in millimeters.

Vehicle tire marking 0/0 R0 is deciphered as follows:

• 0 — profile width (cross section of the tire) in millimeters;
• 0 — profile height as a percentage of its width;
• R - radial cord winding;
• 0 — tire diameter in inches.

Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table. For example, wider discs of the same diameter. Or install wheels of the same width, but with a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 4x100. Thus, all disks are mounted with four bolts and the distance between them is exactly one hundred millimeters. The car's hub diameter is 54.1 mm.

Standard tire pressure is 2.3 MPa.

Review of Toyota Caldina 1998

After using a VAZ-2107 with my father for 9 years, I decided to buy myself a separate car. At first I wanted to buy something nimble and small in size.

The total planned purchase budget ranged from 230 to 240 thousand, taking into account the purchase of tires and maintenance. The main problem was the lack of space for turning, especially in the presence of snow drifts in the winter.

In addition, in the Zhiguli I developed the habit of moving far back, which simply did not leave room for an adult. I also understood that trunk volume is important. Despite the large number of models, everything that was available on the market was not in the best condition.

Due to the specifics of the location, I showed more interest in the diesel version, but did not mind gasoline. Therefore, I decided to order myself a used car from Krasnoyarsk or Vladivostok. Having contacted a car removal company, it turned out that things were not going well with diesel cars.

Only a Camry 30 was available, and if we agreed on gasoline, they also offered to look at the nearby 1998 Caldina. When I tried to ride it, I got a good impression.

Among the shortcomings, the anthers on the racks were torn almost into trash, and during the trip there was a howling sound, depending on the speed. I quickly found the reason - the viscous coupling bearing. I was somewhat confused by the 2-liter engine and all-wheel drive - a useful thing, but with a complicated design and expensive spare parts.

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend for Toyota caldina i 1998 15i?

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

Weaknesses and disadvantages of the 2C diesel engine

In the previous article I provided information about the weaknesses and disadvantages of the 1C diesel engine. The next generation of 2C from Toyota Motor Corporation, on the contrary, it would seem, should be of better quality, because the corporation’s experience and scientific and technological progress are constantly developing. But unfortunately, nothing good can be said about the diesel engines of the 2C line in comparison with the 1C, and the disadvantages have become more numerous.

Review of Toyota Caldina 2.0 (Toyota Kaldina) 1995 Part 2

Good day, dear readers and guests of this site!
It seems like a lot of time has passed since my last review of this car. In principle, nothing significant has changed.

True, winter greeted us harshly this year. Every day minus 20.25 for almost the entire month. It snowed almost every day; they didn’t have time to clear the snow from the roads. Ice and snow, in general, every day is extreme, not a trip. Fortunately the car didn’t let me down one bit. Started in any frost and drove on any surface. True, as I felt before winter, it was time to change the battery, I installed a larger battery. And I decided to fill in the oil with 5w 40 instead of the previously filled 10w 40. But also mandatory preparation, replacing spark plugs, decarbonizing the rings. Treating the engine with the additive “Reagent 3000”. Changed fuel and air filters. In general, a small maintenance. But my efforts were not in vain: everything was fine with the car throughout the cold period. The car is warm and comfortable. True, two days ago I changed the rear wheel bearing. An uncharacteristic sound just appeared when moving, and after doing independent diagnostics, I quickly identified the cause. I did the repairs myself. The car is fine and makes me happy every day. I don’t know how long it will serve me, but so far I can’t find a worthy replacement. I was thinking about switching to a Toyota Matrix, but I don’t dare.

Review of Toyota Caldina 2.0 (Toyota Caldina) 1995

Good day, dear visitors of this site!

I’ve owned this car for six years now; at the time of purchase, the mileage was 81,000. For six years, my car has never let me down, “ugh, ugh,” so as not to jinx it. At the time of purchase, the choice came from the finances that I owned at that time. There was 5000 USD in my pocket. American currency. I walked through the aisles of our car market, but nothing caught my eye. Then I drove around the local temporary storage warehouses, at first I looked at the Nissan Cefiro, but I didn’t have enough money. At one of the temporary storage warehouses I liked my KALDINKA. He came up and examined the machine. Covered in dust, with small scratches on the bumper, she stood on the outskirts of the parking lot. When I asked about the car, it turned out that it had just been unloaded from a car transporter. I lifted the hood, and there... Still with Japanese stickers. I compared the mileage, everything seems to be the same. I opened the car and the service book was still there.

In principle, some kind of picture was already emerging about the past of the machine. The seller kindly offered to start the engine and make a circle around the parking lot. The engine whispered, there were some mistakes in the chassis, but nothing terrible compared to what I saw. The car was perfect. Plus the already boosted 3S-GE engine, all-wheel drive, climate control, automatic transmission with two additional modes, and a huge trunk. To be honest, for the first three days I didn’t feel much comfort from traveling, I was even rather tired. The fact is that this was my first time driving a right-hand drive car. Before this, cars were only left-hand drive. This is my 4th official car. Before that there was a six, a Mitsubishi Colt, a Mitsubishi Galant 1998 and here is my Kaldinka.

Review of Toyota Caldina ST-195g 2.0 liter automatic transmission 135 hp. full time 4WD (Toyota Kaldina) 1997

This is the second review about this car, the first is https://avtomarket.ru/users/

Since it was written, 3 years have passed and 120,000 kilometers have been traveled; Due to the crisis, changing my car was postponed indefinitely, and therefore I am still the proud owner of this wonderful car. I have already outlined all the emotions and impressions of it in the first review, so this one will be a kind of operation report.

And Kaldina’s exploitation was very harsh. During these three years, she visited the Altai Mountains, Belarus, Siberia (they went to Sheregesh), not counting countless trips to various places within a radius of 600 km from the Chelyabinsk region. I love road trips and have studied the capabilities of the car quite well, so I am not shy about driving it into fairly rough off-road conditions; sometimes it has to drive hundreds of kilometers continuously on gravel roads, country roads, graders...

Review of Toyota Caldina ST-198 (Toyota Kaldina) 2002

I am writing about the car after 10 months from the date of sale. I bought it without troubleshooting in one of the car dealerships in Irkutsk. What won me over was that it had a 2L engine, 4WD - I didn’t want it (but later I really, really appreciated it) and inexpensive spare parts. By the way, the Conder was included in the package. Automatic transmission. 2002 release. On stampings at 13", Velcro rubber. Price 220 thousand rubles. Mileage upon purchase: 73,000 km.

-=SALON=-

There is a lot of space in the front, the seats have minimal adjustments, but are quite comfortable (I drove non-stop to Tankhoy and Arshan, my back and butt didn’t get very tired). There is not enough lateral protection, as, for example, on a Legas (a friend has a Legas 2001, I have something to compare with) or on some Honda, the ass rolls when cornering. There is enough space up to the ceiling (my height is 186 cm). The steering wheel has no settings, but turning it is easy and very fun. A simple torpedo, a simple radio (then I plugged in a radio). The seats at the back can be compared to a wooden chair with a vertical back :), but there is quite enough legroom. The “meat grinders” on the doors rotate very easily compared to the “nine”, you hardly apply any force. The trunk is HUGE, with the rear seats folded down I slept in the car with my wife at FULL height without bending my legs, the only thing that narrows the trunk is the wheel arches of the rear wheels. The loading height is not high, you open the trunk lid and you have a sofa for 2 adults and one child + a rain cover (the trunk lid has a reach of about a meter), very comfortable. There is a spare tire under the trunk on the bottom, I don’t know if this is a plus or a minus. There is a “broom” on the rear window. 2 airbags (attention! domestic manufacturers! this is almost on the most “wooden” version of a COMMERCIAL car!). The visibility is good, the hood does not seem long, almost the whole thing is visible. The side mirrors were enough for me, but the internal mirrors were very small. The panel does not creak, does not rattle, the plastic is cheap but soft (where is the old Japanese cocoa-colored plastic?!), but dust collects well: (- there is no cabin filter. Of the “crickets” I remember only the trunk lid lock (Kaldin disease in the 19th body), especially after a dusty road (but the solution is simple - put a cloth on the lock and close it). The plastic washes well. Not a bad glove compartment, fits a pack of A4 paper and + other small things. Noise insulation is 2 plus (compared to the “nine” on 5). The stove heats well, but not a fountain, probably due to poor thermal insulation. By the way, there is no tachometer.

Toyota Caldina Van 1999, diesel, 2200 cc, 3C-105hp - owner review

1999 - owner review

Characteristics of Toyota Kaldina Van

Year of manufacture: 1999

Body type: Station wagon

Engine: diesel, 2200 cc, 3S-105l.s

Fuel consumption: In the combined cycle 7.1 and always with air conditioning, on the highway I keep the speed no more than 120 km/h. 90 will be less, if you want less, drive more quietly.

Hello everyone! Those who know firsthand, but intimately, what a right-hand drive Japanese car is and those who

in the near future he is going to get into this dirty business and will not dare to take the first step towards buying a reliable Japanese one. This is a real good thing. Review: by reading it you can learn about underwater

stones and not encounter big problems when choosing the right companion. And I think people write

Here I don’t want to describe in detail what and how much I changed, but rather present my vi-

attention to the possible use of this vehicle.

I’ll start with the fact that I myself am the owner of more than one Japanese car. My experience began from distant times

90s and during this time I changed quite a few cars and mostly Toyota. After an unsuccessful

start and testing on a Honda, the first one simply fell in love with me. Although there is such a word as unevirsal, it is not possible and difficult to satisfy the soul with one car. Therefore, for the soul and a weekend

CROWN in the 141st body, and for work and various bag affairs Koldina is a horse! There are also

Isudzik-elf refka. Satisfied with everyone.

And so I have owned Kaldina for 3 years since September 2005. I agree with the statements of other owners

that this is a completely budget-friendly, super reliable car, which has its pros and cons for everyone.

Minus the first, at a speed of 120 km/h with a passenger you literally have to shout over each other -

to be. Minus two. Frequent oil changes, nothing can be done diesel 5t/km, gearbox 10t/km. That's what friends advise

Japanese. When replacing the timing belt, this was after purchase, I found the nameplate in Japanese, it turned out to be translated

This is the same information I do to this day. They won’t give you bad advice, much less write.

Minus three. Yes, the equipment is rather poor. But it depends on what you are taking the car for, then yes you will

feel inferior. Don’t forget it’s a cargo version, then it’s a passenger version and I took it

for work. I’ll put it simply, I put all the downsides if the machine makes money and money

not small, the rest is all right, I can ride it better than others, without sweating in the heat and without training -

I'm stuck in traffic jams until I can't stand it, and when calculating the cost of one km, you immediately forget about all these pseudo minuses, but for some reason there are pluses in your head, and there's nothing in your wallet.

When you eat on it, the thought constantly flashes through your mind that you are driving, but you are spending a lot of money

less than everyone driving around you. Right now the price of diesel fuel in our capital city exceeds 25 rubles.

For tractor drivers and other characters it is 15-17 rubles. A 45 liter tank is enough for 600 versts. I drive it no more than 120 km/h. I haven’t accelerated it anymore, the Japanese advise a maximum speed of 135 km/h. Even with O/D. You will drive at speed

90 km/h will travel more than 700 versts. Yes, I defend diesel fuel using the old-fashioned method, thereby reducing

costs of purchasing fuel filters. Judge for yourself.

Regarding its carrying capacity, I had to transport 2 tons of cargo per day. You understand, not for races

servicing Moscow hotels with products allows for this, and this is in an everyday cycle. It becomes scary when you multiply by 3 years. The engine feels like it doesn’t care what or how much to pull, it pulls everything. The only thing I did when overloading was to switch the automatic to manual mode: 2-D with O/D turned off, then turned it on. The springs are at least 3 years old.

From the chassis, after the purchase I immediately changed the front brake discs, they were clearly purple in color, apparently overheated and after 2 winters I went through the calipers, their guides and their repair kits. Yes, do not forget to lubricate them 2 times a year. For example, when changing tires winter-summer I definitely do this. The rear shock absorbers have worked for 2.5 years. The front shock absorbers are still serving. Beautiful. I bought them a year ago, they are still waiting.

Toyota Caldina II 1998 2.0 VVT-i (ST215G)

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 5x100. Thus, all disks are fastened with five bolts and the distance between them is exactly one hundred millimeters. The car's hub diameter is 54.1 mm.

Model details:

• Car manufacturer: Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan).
• Car class: average.
• Production period: 1992 - 2007.

Important: the curb weight of the Toyota Caldina station wagon modifications varies from 1180 (kg) to 1470 (kg).

The table below shows a comparison of several Caldina configurations, among the parameters are the overall dimensions of the Caldina, fuel consumption in the city, highway or mixed, engine size, maximum speed and acceleration time to 100 km/h, curb or gross weight of the Caldina, wheelbase , front and rear wheel track, gearbox type, what gearbox, what drive, tire size, what power or torque and what price. But every time, looking through the next Passat and sitting on the driver’s stool, I can’t even call it a seat, my mood only worsened.

Toyota Caldina

Toyota Caldina is a 5-door version of the 4-door sedan Toyota Corona and the later Toyota Avensis. Throughout its production history, the model was produced only as a station wagon.

1st generation (1992—1997)

The first generation (Platform T19x) of Toyota Kaldina is a five-door passenger and cargo-passenger station wagon (with a load capacity of 500 kg), created on the basis of the four-door Toyota Corona sedan. The passenger version has shock absorber struts in the rear suspension, and the commercial truck has springs. Kaldina was never exported outside of Japan, but in Europe she has a twin sister - Toyota Karina E station wagon. Kaldina is extremely popular on the secondary market in the CIS due to all-wheel drive and large capacity. The passenger station wagon was produced from November 1992 to September 1997; the model was restyled in 1996; the commercial version was produced from November 1992 to July 2002.

Engines:

1.8 l 4S-FE 125 hp, 2WD only. 1.8 l 7A-FE 115 hp, 2WD only. 2.0 l 3S-FE 140 hp (for cars with 4WD - 135 hp) 2.0 l 3S-GE 175 hp (for cars with automatic transmission - 165 hp), 4WD only. 2.0 l 2C 73 hp Diesel engine, 2WD only. 2.0 l 2C-T 88 hp Supercharged diesel engine, 2WD only. 1.5 l 5E-FE 93 hp (installed on cargo-passenger variants), 2WD only.

2nd generation (1997—2002)

The second generation of Kaldina T21x has the same platform as the T19x. The external and internal appearance has undergone serious, radical changes. The all-wheel drive transmission received a new layout - automatically connected V-Flex all-wheel drive. The classic Full Time 4WD all-wheel drive transmission remains, but only paired with the 3S-GTE engine. And in the case of a configuration with a manual transmission, the car had a Torsen self-locking differential in the rear gearbox in addition to the center lock.

The engines remained the same (with a few exceptions), but were modernized. Outside of Japan, her sister Toyota Karina E also changed her appearance and received a new name - Toyota Avensis.

The leading GT-T package has appeared, equipped with a 260-horsepower 3S-GTE turbo engine, transmission and suspension from the Celica GT-Four. Like the previous generation, there are modifications with petrol 1.8 (7A-FE), 2.0 (3S-FE) and 2.0 diesel (3C-TE) engines. Transmissions are automatic and mechanical. Drive - front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In 2000, the model was restyled.

Engines:

1.8 l 7A-FE 115 hp, 2WD only. 2.0 l 3S-FE 135 hp 2.0 l 3S-GE 190 hp 2.0 l 3S-GTE 260 hp Supercharged petrol engine, 4WD only. 2.0 l 3C-TE 94 hp Supercharged diesel engine, 4WD only.

3rd generation (2002—2007)

The new Caldina, introduced in September 2002 with the T24x body model, has a sportier appearance and a unique body. In many ways, it is structurally similar to the platform of the Toyota Allion and Toyota Premio, but the rear suspension is borrowed from its older brother - the Toyota Avensis (T25x body).

This model is equipped with a new range of Toyota engines: 1.8 1ZZ-FE with VVTi system and 2.0 1AZ-FE with VVTi system and D4 direct injection. A modification with a two-liter 3S-GTE turbo engine has been preserved. There are automatic transmissions, sometimes with manual transmission, front-wheel drive, plug-in all-wheel drive or “honest” all-wheel drive (only paired with 3S-GTE).

Engines:

1.8 l 1ZZ-FE 132 hp, 2WD only. 2.0 l 1AZ-FSE 152 hp (150 hp for 4WD). 2.0 l 1AZ-FSE 155 hp (since January 2005, restyled models for any type of drive). 2.0 l 3S-GTE 260 hp, 4WD only. In 2005, restyling was carried out. In 2007, Toyota completed production of this model, leaving only the Toyota Avensis T250 station wagon on the Japanese domestic market.

Expert advice Toyota caldina i 1998 15i

If it were original, then another thing, here’s a generalized list of what was changed - timing belt - power steering and generator belt - water pump - tension rollers - valve cover gasket in these engines is a pain since the cover is always on a slope - cooling radiator with a cap - expansion tank - low beam bulbs 1 pc. I advise everyone to keep such a list of replacement parts, since when selling it can help the buyer make the right choice and, on the other hand, it will indicate that the owner treated his car carefully. 2010 is an excellent car - there are practically no problems - the interior is comfortable - there is a lot of space for the rear passengers - a disadvantage for our roads is the low ground clearance - when the car appeared on the Russian market it was the dream car of many - the climate control is comfortable even in cold weather the trunk is very spacious for the entire period of operation changed links; steering tips; brake pads and rear brake hoses; right longitudinal link; right transverse rear link and rear gear mounting pad; front and rear struts; the price for replacing all the listed parts is acceptable; the most expensive was the pillow;.
