Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Toyota 3UZ-FE engine, like many V-shaped engines, can develop oil leaks from valve covers and oil pan gaskets due to age and wear.

Timing belt wear

Regular maintenance is crucial as the timing belt can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.

Coolant leaks

The 3UZ-FE engine may experience coolant leaks from the water pump or radiator, which can lead to overheating if not addressed.

Carbon buildup

Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate on intake valves and combustion chambers, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

Ignition coils in this engine can fail, leading to misfires and rough idling, often requiring replacement.

Sensor issues

Oxygen sensors and other engine management sensors can fail, resulting in poor engine performance and increased emissions.
