Hello ToyotaNation community, I have been diving through some of these forums, and just want to start by saying how great this site is.. Reminds me a lot of the club lexus forums. Thank you in advance for any info or suggestions. I am considering purchasing a 2002 V6 FWD Highlander with...

Like to hear from anyone who has a noisy Toyota engine, especially if you found a cure. My Toyota with the 2007 3.5 L v engine became noisy about 15k miles ago it now has 91k miles. I posted a you tube video at The noise is now so loud I can hear it when I am in the backyard and my wife is...

I have a 2007 Avalon with 3.5L 2GR-FE engine. About 15k miles ago it became very noisy. I am writing here since the engine is used by Camry, RAV4, Lexus etc. I posted a you tube video at The noise is now so loud I can hear it when I am in the backyard and my wife is a 1/2 block away. The...

I have an 2007 Avalon with 3.5L engine and 86k on it. About 6k ago it developed noisy lifters. I have always changed my oil ever 3 k and have done 3 since the noise started. I tried Lucas oil in one, Marvel Mystery Oil in another and Best Line in the last one. Nothing got rid of the ticking...

My '96 Avalon has around 200,000 on the engine. The original one blew up and was replaced before I bought the car. Last year it blew a head gasket and subsequently the lifters started making more noise perhaps due to sludge build up. The lifters facing the front of the car seem to be the...

I have a 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS with the split bench seat. I love it and its a great commuter car. When I bought it used from a Toyota dealer w/ a 110,000 miles on it they were good enough to drop a new engine in it because of the oil sludge problem. This second engine has a 130,000 miles on...

I bought this car with 170K miles, original owners are my friends parents and they said they were doing normal oil changes. I used a shop vac, spray bottle of MMO, tooth brush, wooden chopsticks, flat head screw driver, tweezers to try and get most of the sludge out. Blocked the oil return...

We are having issues with our new *used* 2002 Toyota Highlander. We knew when we purchased that it needed to have the valve cover gaskets repaired, because they were leaking really badly. We had them replaced just before a road trip, along w/AC vac and charge, and new plugs. We knew we would...

Bought a 2002 XLE 4cyl w/137k cheap because it was failing emissions with a P0420 Cat replace diagnosis from a mechanic. Was able to determine that the CE triggered on longer highway trips. Reset light, got my sticker. I know Toyota is honoring cat replacements up to 80k, but I have never...
