Good day. Please is maintenance of 2008-2009 Toyota Highlander pocket friendly?. Can you advise me on this issue before buying? |
| Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 10:34pm On Mar 28, 2019 |
Grace2u: Compared to other brands of its class, it is the best in terms of cost of ownership. Nothing really to watch out for( except maybe the oil coolant lines which may rupture with age if it is made of rubber) |

Hello @MotorGuru. Thanks for the informative thread. I am considering Toyota Picnic or Toyota Avensis Verso for a family minivan. I actually prefer the avensis verso as its more roomy but have read things about the 1AZ-FE engine fitted into it. Things like burning oil, stripped bolt, etc. I am looking at a fairly used of any of these. Please I will need your advice. Thank you. |

GCFR696: Apparently not well and not a great idea to do it again after it was previously done. Carry on. 1 Like 1 Share |

GCFR696: rebuilding would have been a better option , but with the current level of available expertise, please toks is better. What to look out for: 1.Check coolant passage ways and ensure you do not see any chalk- like coating. if you do, that engine has been used in Nigeria Before and water was used as coolant. 2.Check the interface between Top cylinder& engine block and ensure that graphite(paper as they call it) gasket has not been used. 3. check all gaskets and ensure it has not been supported or replaced by Gasket maker(Black or white gum). Anywhere such was originally sued from factory, it should have a slight yellowish tint to it. 4. Check all bolts and be sure there is no spanner marks(evidence that is might have been slackened before) 5.Check engine number inscription and compare with the engine currently with your car to avoid any foul play. 6. Go with an experienced person. 7. The VIN number of the car that engine came out from is usually riveted to the engine body. copy it and run a comprehensive VIN check to have an idea of the Mileage. Use 5W20 if the engine mileage is less than 150,000 miles( on the Toks engine) 2 Likes |

ping2ping: the 1AZ-FE was not extensively documented to have the stripped bolt problem. Oil consumption was also not an issue. Please do due diligence when purchasing a Nigerian used vehicle. |

lwise: You are having a problem with your idle control. Pls have the vehicle scanned. |
