When choosing a used car, it is important to be sure of the durability of the most expensive parts. Variator is one of them. But this transfer is erratic and still causes a lot of controversy. Therefore, the AvtoVzglyad portal talks about the most durable CVTs that are trusted.
Let’s start with the products of the famous Japanese company Jatco. The unit with the JF011E index was produced from 2005 to 2019. It has a steel belt, consisting of many plates, which are fastened with steel straps. With a timely oil change, it lives 100,000 km. The box is installed on Mitsubishi ASX and Outlander, second and third generation Nissan X-Trail and many other models.
Jatco JF016E became famous for its work under the hoods of Duster and Kaptur. He changed the settings especially for Renault. When Auto mode is activated in the AWD system, the torque converter locks up at 12 km/h, resulting in lower fuel consumption. And in Lock mode, locking is provided at 45 km / h. So you can “crawl” through the mud and move with a skid without fear of overheating.
Another leading manufacturer, Aisin, manufactures its products for Toyota. Its CVT with the K112 index is known from the third and fourth generation RAV4 crossover. The model was combined with 2 and 2.4 liter engines. Here, too, the belt consists of plates that are fastened with steel straps. But since the design is quite heat-stressed, that is, prone to overheating, the working fluid must be changed after 50,000 km. Otherwise, problems cannot be avoided.
Russian buyers have almost forgotten about Honda cars, but they are still on the market. Note here the fifth generation of the CR-V crossover. The variator with the BRJA index was regularly refined, making it even more reliable. It is still put on another “Japanese”. If you change the oil every 40,000 km, it will last 300,000 km. That is, even the engine will survive.
Think Subaru. This manufacturer has CVT LineaTronic. There is also a steel chain, which transmits the force through the end faces, but not through the plates, but through the pins. There are no serious issues with the box at all. It is only necessary to replace the lubricant after 70,000 km. Yes, forget about abrupt starts at traffic lights. This leads to burning of the claws.
