Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 1GR-FE engine is known to develop oil leaks, especially from the valve cover gaskets and the front timing cover.

Head gasket issues

Some 1GR-FE engines may experience head gasket failures, which can lead to coolant leaks and overheating problems.

Timing chain tensioner

The timing chain tensioner in the 1GR-FE engine can sometimes fail, leading to a rattling noise on startup and potential timing issues.

Water pump failure

The water pump in this engine can fail, leading to coolant leaks and overheating issues.

Excessive oil consumption

Some owners report excessive oil consumption, which may require frequent top-ups between oil changes.

Carbon buildup

Over time, carbon buildup on the intake valves can occur, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Knock sensor failure

The knock sensors on the 1GR-FE can fail, causing the engine to run poorly and potentially triggering the check engine light.
