Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2UZ-FE engine is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket.

Timing belt wear

The 2UZ-FE engine uses a timing belt that requires regular replacement. If not replaced at the recommended intervals, it can lead to engine failure.

Exhaust manifold cracks

This engine is prone to developing cracks in the exhaust manifold, which can cause exhaust leaks and reduce engine performance.

Carbon build-up

Over time, carbon can build up in the intake manifold and throttle body, leading to reduced engine efficiency and performance.

Overheating

Issues with the radiator and cooling system can lead to engine overheating, which is a common problem in older models.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in the 2UZ-FE engine can fail prematurely, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

The fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, causing poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.

Knock sensor issues

The knock sensors in the 2UZ-FE can fail, leading to engine knocking and reduced performance.
