Problems:
Oil leaks
The 2GR-FE engine is known to develop oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and the oil cooler pipe. This can lead to oil consumption and potential damage if not addressed.
Water pump failure
The water pump on the 2GR-FE can fail, leading to coolant leaks and potential overheating if not replaced in a timely manner.
Ignition coil issues
This engine can experience problems with ignition coils, which might result in misfires and reduced engine performance.
Timing chain tensioner
The timing chain tensioner may wear out over time, leading to a rattling noise upon startup and potentially affecting engine timing.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The intake manifold gaskets can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks, rough idling, and poor fuel economy.
Oil cooler pipe cracking
Earlier models of the 2GR-FE had an oil cooler pipe that could crack, leading to significant oil loss and potential engine damage. Toyota issued a recall to replace the pipe with a metal version.
Carbon build-up
Over time, carbon deposits can build up on the intake valves, particularly in engines that use direct injection, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
