Hi all, I bought a 2016 diesel rav4 from the damaged car auction, it appears someone went off road and did some damage under the car , the subframe on the passenger side and the 2 brackets that hold it were damaged which was an easy fix but unfortunately they also damaged the oil cooler for the transmission and kept driving it till it stopped , when we took the oil pan off we found metal in the filter so the transmission was toast, we found a replacement trans and fitted it as well as a new oil cooler and after a wheel alignment and a good once over she was registered and good to go. Now the problem i'm having is that I have an information light come up which states " AWD system malfunction ,2WD engaged visit your dealer " and of course it goes into limp mode. We scanned it and it said that the EGR valve was at fault so we checked it out and yes the valve was not great so we replaced it , what the EGR valve has to do with an AWD system malfunction is a bit of a mystery but ok. Then I was driving one evening and braked to do a left hand turn off of the highway , it was moderate braking , not just a touch but not hard either and the same warning came up again, we rescanned it but it was the same fault so was advised to see the dealer. Before I book the car in for any work ( i assume the dealer has better scan tools ) i was wondering if anybody here has any experience with this fault and what it could be ? I was thinking just after i finished writing this , would the transmission need to be programed into the cars computer in the same way as new injectors need to be ? cheers Pete -

Air Conditioner has stopped cooling the car. Have had it looked at by Air Conditioning Specialists and they indicated it was an electrical issue. Have had an Auto Electrician look at it and he could not find any faults with Relays or fuses but power is not getting to the compressor. He is under the impression it might have something to do with either a Faulty SLIP Sensor or it would be the Air Conditioning ECU. Has anyone had a similar problem and was there a way to fix it. Thanks -
