Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2UR-GSE engine is known for developing oil leaks around the valve cover gaskets and timing chain cover seals.

Carbon buildup

Due to the direct injection system, carbon deposits can accumulate on the intake valves, potentially affecting performance.

Fuel injector issues

The high-pressure fuel injectors in the 2UR-GSE can sometimes fail or clog, leading to rough idling and misfires.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain and its tensioners can wear out, causing rattling noises and potential timing issues.

Cooling system problems

The water pump and radiator can develop leaks or fail, leading to overheating issues.

Vacuum leaks

The intake manifold gaskets and various vacuum lines can deteriorate, causing air leaks and rough engine performance.

Sensor failures

Components such as the mass airflow sensor (MAF) and oxygen sensors can fail, leading to poor fuel economy and performance issues.
