My 04 RAV (85K miles) has a rattle - Mechanic believes it is a bad bearing on belt tensioner - He also suggested replacing water pump at the same time, Is this typical? Replies to this message: olav (Jul 03, 2007 4:09 am)

Replying to: 04rav4 (Jun 26, 2007 11:09 am) Try to cahnge the chain tensioner. That will solve your problem. It is not the waterpump.
#22 of 46 Trans replacement by suvshopper4 Jul 04, 2007 (6:23 am)
Just an FYI:   After 6 yrs and 81,000 easily-driven miles with me as the only driver, dealer services, and no towing, I had auto trans troubles in my 2001 AWD RAV4 (purchased new).   Dealer said a trans replacement was necessary, and put in a re-manufactured unit.   Out of standard warranty (5yrs/60k miles), I am now out of pocket US$3,660 plus state tax.   Obviously I'm not happy about it. I now have a different view of Toyota reliability and durability.
#23 of 46 vsc & check engine light by azearguy Jul 09, 2007 (3:29 pm)
On my 04 Rav 4 the vsc and check engine light comes on. The dealer said just wait until you start the engine four times, and it goes away. Can't this be fixed? It also hesitates some times and I have to push the acc. down, and it then jumps.
#24 of 46 1997 Rav4 engine blown by 3canoers Oct 09, 2007 (11:56 am)
1997 Rav4 engine blownMy 1997 rav4 engine blew while climbing a pretty good mountain in western North Carolina. There was no warning light, no smoke, and I had personally changed the oil 4 weeks before. I bought it about 5 months ago from a private party. I have no reason to suspect they were selling a lemon. Any ideas why this engine blew? Any ideas on how to avoid it happening again to the rebuilt engine I am about to pay a lot to put in it? Any ideas on where to obtain reliable rebuilt engines? Thanks to any one who can help shed light on this mystery. Replies to this message: electricdesign (Oct 29, 2007 9:31 am)

Replying to: 3canoers (Oct 09, 2007 11:56 am) One of the best places to buy a rebuilt engine from is Jasper, find them on the internet. They do quality rebuilds with 3 year warranties.   One possibilty of why the engine blew is that it could have become oil starved going up the incline. The incline could have tilted the engine enough so that the oil pick up started sucking air.   If you are going to do that kind of stuff, you might look into some specialized stuff, like a deeper high capacity oil pan with a deeper oil pickup tube.   Good Luck, E.D.

I have a 2003 Toyota Rav4 with less than 66,000 miles on it. Today my check engine light came on and I went to Auto Zone to have them check it. The code came back P1135, Air/Fuel sensor heater circuit response (bank 1 sensor 1). The Auto Zone employee told me that Toyota, by law, has to keep the sensors current for five years beyond the model year and they should replace it for free. Is that true?
