i will try on this forum

Hi.First of all sorry for my english guys.I got 2007 Camry v6(40K miles).Yesterday i saw a lot of oil in my garage and i immediately go to the dealer.Camry is certified used vehicle and they gave me replacement car and i supposed to wait for phone call .Today morning they told me that warranty will not cover this.It''s engine oil line for vvti system(15707-3102)It''s engine component so warranty supposed to cover it!.The similar problem was in avalon 07-the same engine.Any clue guys?what to do?700$ for repairs.thanks for any help and sorry for my english.

700 bucks?!?!?!?

i would've thought that the nut came loose on the road, and it somehow decided to pop itself open overnight in your garage.. why the hell that would cost 700 bucks? Probably not it then....

what year is your car kurens?

Should be covered under factory warranty. 5/60k Its the oil line they get pin hole and leak like crazy. Kinda pain in the ass to change...

shoould be under the certified warranty....ive seen a few 2007 V6 camrys with this issue...its the same issue as the 2005-2007 avalons, where the rubber VVTi oil line springs a pinhole, and leaks a massive amount of oil....i work at a dealer in MD and i know the part is majorly backordered in our area (central atlantic toyota), so weve had a few of these camrys sitting for almost a month waiting on parts
id raise hell...there is a TSB out on this issue, and warranty should definitly cover it as it is an engine componet that is not a maintenence/wear item like a belt or filter or something
call toyota corporate if the dealer wont cooperate...the least they can do is reimburse you for the cost of repairs

Yep same here we have a few cars sitting and not getting done... I usally just change the top part, no point in changing the bottom section on the oil line.

same with me...we also get kindly shafted on warranty time on these repairs as well
