Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to transfer force. Leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.
Brake pedal sponginess
Air bubbles trapped in the hydraulic lines can cause a spongy brake pedal, reducing braking responsiveness.
Warped brake rotors
Frequent or heavy braking can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance.
Engine oil leaks
Over time, seals and gaskets can deteriorate, leading to oil leaks which can cause engine damage if not addressed.
Head gasket failure
The 3RZ-FE engine is known for occasional head gasket issues, which can cause overheating and loss of engine performance.
Timing chain noise
The timing chain may become noisy or slack over time, potentially leading to engine timing issues.
Fuel injector problems
Clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Ignition coil failures
Faulty ignition coils can cause misfires, leading to rough running and reduced power.
Coolant leaks
Coolant leaks can occur from hoses, the radiator, or the water pump, leading to engine overheating if not repaired.
Vacuum leaks
Leaks in the vacuum lines can cause erratic idling and poor engine performance.
Oxygen sensor failure
A failing oxygen sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, affecting engine performance and emissions.
Timing chain tensioner wear
The tensioner can wear out, leading to slack in the timing chain and potential engine timing issues.
