Problems:
Oil consumption
The 1UR-FSE engine is known for higher than average oil consumption, which may require more frequent oil top-ups.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to potential engine misfires or a rattling noise.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the 1UR-FSE can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
Coolant leaks
The cooling system may develop leaks, particularly around the water pump or radiator hoses, which can lead to overheating.
Fuel injector problems
Direct injection fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling or poor acceleration.
Sensor failures
Various engine sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor, may fail, leading to issues with the engine management system.
