Replying to: toycash (Mar 24, 2005 3:28 pm) No, that is PhotoShop. Look at how fake the headlights look.

Replying to: solidaudio (Feb 28, 2005 6:20 am) I have the same problem. My dealer says I just didn't change the oil often enough. The car is only 3 years old with low mileage. I spoke with one mechanic I trust and he told me the Camry had a problem with sludge build up. Possibly we are seeing that the Rav4 does also. I was also given only one option - to pay for the repairs to the tune of $4,500 to rebuild the motor. I too had no idea there was a problem until the oil and check engine light came on at the same time. I brought the vehicle into the dealer the same afternoon.

Replying to: coastalcajun (Mar 30, 2005 10:32 am) What is the mileage? and How often have you changed the oil? If the vehicle is only 3 years old, should it not be covered under warranty? More information is required before you can relate this a sludge problem.

Replying to: coastalcajun (Mar 30, 2005 10:32 am) There are no known problems w sludge on RAV engines to my knowledge. The alleged problems were on V6s in the older Camrys (and others). Clearly, negligence in oil/filter changes would contribute to possible sludge problems. AFAIK Toyota has fixed this "problem". What is your mileage on it, what year is it, and how often DID you change the oil (and can you prove it?). These are important questions. My guess is it is not a sludge issue at all.
#1797 of 2123 Chirping Noise on 2001 RAV4 by kwivo Apr 01, 2005 (8:16 am)
Hello,   I have a 2001 RAV4. I am about to hit the 5 year 100k miles point. I have 2 noise problems.   1 is a chirping noise coming from under the dash when I am on even a slightly bumpy road. Toyota dealership said it is a busted spot weld under the dash and it will cost hundreds to get at it and try to fix (only covered in first 3 years). Can anyone offer any advice on this problem?   The other noise is an intermittent static-like crackling noise. Toyota dealership fixed this problem for a while in the first 3 years by moving a cable that was too close to my battery terminals. The noise is back and they were unable to stop it this time. Any suggestions?   Thanks for your help,   Kwivo

Replying to: titan613 (Feb 03, 2005 10:57 am) 2002 Rav4 here with ~45k miles ... I've got the sludge ... Change the oil ever 3-6k but I can't find all the receipts. Still looking.   No more Toyota's for me. I have a brand new Prius also but am trading that in next week just because of the Rav4 issue. All cars have issues, but Toyota not fixing this one is enough for me.   quote of aprox. $9k to fix it by the way.     Replies to this message: scoti1 (Apr 03, 2005 8:49 am) scoti1 (Apr 03, 2005 1:32 pm)
