This repair manual is intended for new versions of TOYOTA Carina II produced since 1988, which are equipped with new 16-valve 1.6 or 2.0 l engines and a 2.0 l diesel engine.
The cars are available in 4-door sedan, 5-door combi, and station wagon versions. They have the designations "XLi", "XLi" or "GLi".
Below is an overview of the options.
year of release: 1988
Here we are talking primarily about the Carina 1.6 XL, Carina 1.6 l combi and Carina XL station wagon 1.6 l. At that time, the engine was equipped with a carburetor and was called "4A-F", with a power of 90 hp (66 kW) at 6000 rpm. This engine was equipped with a sedan and a station wagon.
The 2.0-liter engine of the 5-door coupe combi was equipped with an electronic injection device manufactured under license from Bosch. It has the designation "3S-FE" and a power of 121 hp (89 kW) at 5600 rpm and is installed only on the coupe.
1989 and 1990 years of production
During these years, the above-mentioned models continued to be produced, but a coupe with a 1.6 liter engine began to be produced. The engines and their power are similar to those produced in 1988.
year of release: 1991
Models with a 1.6-liter engine were equipped with a fuel injection device (designation "4A-FE"), producing 105 hp (77 kW) at 6,000 rpm. The 2.0-liter engine was unchanged.
year of release: 1992
Models with a 1.6-liter engine now have an engine with a power of 107 hp (79 kW) at 6,000 rpm. This is a so-called "Lean-burn" engine, i.e. an engine that runs on a lean fuel mixture. The engine designation has been retained. The power of the 2.0-liter engine has also been increased. It now develops a power of 133 hp (98 kW) at 5,800 rpm.
Note: The 2.0 l diesel engines with 73 hp (54 kW) at 4700 rpm and the designation "2C" remained almost unchanged during the years mentioned, but were not sold in all European countries. Diesel engines are described in a separate chapter at the end of the publication.
The cylinders are part of the engine block and therefore are not replaceable. The lubrication system consists of an oil pump, an oil filter, an oil pressure switch, a safety valve and a pressure reducing valve. The safety valve opens when the filter is clogged. When the pressure increases significantly, the pressure reducing valve opens, ensuring a normal pressure value.
The cylinder head of the petrol engines has two overhead camshafts and is made of light metal alloy. The camshafts have a combined belt-chain drive, i.e. one shaft is driven by a toothed belt, and the second by a chain from the first camshaft. Both models of petrol engines have four valves per cylinder.
The chassis of the cars is a load-bearing body with separate suspension of the front and rear wheels. The front wheel suspension of all models consists of shock absorbers with coil springs, lower triangular and transverse levers and a stabilizer.
The rear wheel suspension of sedans and combi (coulee) consists of parallel transverse levers, rods and shock absorber struts with coil springs, as well as a stabilizer. The shock absorbers are installed inside the shock absorber struts. Coupe models have a rigid rear axle with leaf springs.
The dual-circuit brake system has a brake regulator and consists of disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear wheels (on models with high-power engines, disc brakes are installed on the rear wheels).
The steering is rack and pinion type and on some models hydraulic power steering.
Either a fully synchronized 5-speed gearbox or an automatic transmission is installed. 5-speed gearbox type C50 or S50.
