Problems:

Oil consumption
The 3UR-FE V8 engine is known for higher-than-average oil consumption, which can lead to more frequent oil changes and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Timing belt wear
This engine uses a timing belt, which requires regular inspection and replacement according to the manufacturer’s schedule to avoid engine failure.
Fuel injector issues
V8 engines like the 3UR-FE can experience clogging or failure of fuel injectors, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, such as the 3UR-FE, are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.
Water pump failure
The water pump in these engines can fail, leading to overheating issues if not replaced in time.
Exhaust manifold cracking
The V8 configuration can lead to higher heat in the engine bay, potentially causing the exhaust manifold to crack over time.
Spark plug wear
V8 engines often require more frequent spark plug changes to maintain optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Camshaft timing gear problems
The V8 design can sometimes lead to issues with the camshaft timing gear, causing noise and potential engine timing problems.
Coolant leaks
The complexity of the V8 engine may lead to potential coolant leaks from various gaskets and hoses, which can cause overheating if not addressed.
