hello all im buying a 2006 RAV4 98000 miles 4x4. FSH most main dealer. Engine 2AD T180 D-4D. All over in good condition. Leather is excellent condition and all electrics working. VSR light is on but that will be dealt with by main dealer before I commit to purchase. as I’m new to Toyota is there anything I should be aware of. I know there’s an oil consumption issue but is there any nasty surprises I should expect. I apologise if this question has been asked before. If there’s a part of the forum where this query has been raised I’d appreciate being pointed in the right directions. Thanks in advance. Hi Martin, the "oil consumption issue" only seemed to affect a few cars and those that were reported to Toyota were dealt with very effectively by fitting a new half-engine. I'm still running my 2008 XT5 ( now 88k miles ) which had the engine changed at 32k miles and out of warranty by my dealer. Something in your description of the car is ringing a bit of a bell with me as I believe that the T180 engine was only introduced for the 2.2L, 4.3 model half way through 2007, though more knowledgeable guys on here will need to confirm this. And a big welcome to the club! Toyota replaced Hundreds of engines. Phone DNA Automotive Worcester. Two technicians there are ex Toyota and Toyota Worcester we’re replacing 2 or 3 per week..... Yesthats right TWO OR THREE PER WEEK. The 2AD engines are a liability end of... |

Just buy a 2.2 with 150bhp. Issue gone. No?? Not quite.... Member Rambler here on this forum just had his 2012 car scrapped and it was low miles. It was the 150 engine. A few have been known to fail. Only the 4.4 cars are clear...... Well so far ....... |
