Hi

 

Looking at Rav4, 2012 model with 39k on it. 2.2L diesel. Any known issues and real world fuel efficiency from owners would be great. Overall what are they like as a vehicle?

 

Thanks

Sorry but not trying to scare anyone but they keep me busy at work😞

 

Mud and crap gets up behind the wheel arch on the passenger rear and sits on the fuel filler neck and corrodes it away, pipes ain't cheap.

 

Plus the wear and tear stuff, hand brake cables seizing up broken springs shocks

We have a 2006 RAV 4, great car but we have had some very expensive repairs and the car has only done 64,000 miles. Loosing break fluid, master cylinder broke and had a new engine fitted due to the head gasket going, waste of time and money to repair as there is a common fault with the type of engine fitted. If it broke one year earlier Toyota would have replaced it for no cost to us as an extended warranty claim. £4500 replacement engine.

2.2 either 150 or 180hp dcat version. Latter more liable to injector problems which is a shame because the engine's a peach when all is well.

 

Plenty of info on Toyota forums, have had a few D4Ds myself. Somewhere on here is my brief diary on the early D4D injector seal procedure.

Toyota rav4 is a great vehicle. I have Toyota RAV4 EV. This is the Electric version of the RAV4. I decide to buy it when I read a review on carveh.com . It is powered by a 386V Lithium ion battery that has a total of 4500 number of cells. The maximum power output by the vehicle is 129kW. The extended mode has an EPA of 182 km while the standard mode has an EPA of 148 km.

Anybody know what the older models are like?

I had an N reg, 2 lt petrol with 160k miles...old enough? I put GG at2 tyres on & it just wouldn't bog down. Bit juicy to run although I expected that but no towing capacity, so swapped it for a TD5.
