Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The 2UR-GSE engine is known to sometimes consume more oil than expected, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored regularly.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors in this engine may become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the 2UR-GSE can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect performance and cause rough idling or misfires.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing, noise, and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system problems

Issues such as radiator leaks or water pump failures can occur, leading to engine overheating and potential damage if not properly maintained.

Spark plug wear

Due to the high-performance nature of the 2UR-GSE engine, spark plugs can wear out more quickly, leading to misfires and reduced performance.

Exhaust system issues

Problems with the exhaust system, such as leaks or failing catalytic converters, can lead to increased emissions and reduced engine efficiency.
