Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and leaks can lead to reduced braking power or complete brake failure.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can wear out or fail, resulting in a spongy brake pedal or loss of braking power.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can seize or leak, causing uneven braking and reduced efficiency.

Brake pad and rotor wear

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced to maintain braking performance.

Air in brake lines

Air pockets can form in the hydraulic lines, leading to a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency.

Faulty brake booster

A failing brake booster can result in increased pedal effort and reduced braking power.

Engine oil leaks

The 2RZ-FE engine can develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can stretch or wear out over time, causing engine performance issues or even engine damage if not addressed.

Head gasket failure

A blown head gasket can lead to coolant and oil mixing, resulting in overheating and potential engine damage.

Ignition system problems

Issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or the distributor can lead to misfires, rough running, or reduced engine performance.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel pump, fuel injectors, or fuel filter can cause poor engine performance, starting issues, or stalling.

Cooling system problems

Radiator, thermostat, or water pump failures can lead to engine overheating and potential damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.

Vacuum leaks

Leaks in the intake manifold or vacuum hoses can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel economy.
