hey all,

i've recently driven the Klug (wife's car) and noticed the ocassional "clunk" sound from the tailshaft (i think) not too loud or anything but enough to notice....seems to happen when slowing down say approaching a round-a-bout...not coming to complete stop...and then gentle gas to go through...i recall that our prevoius RAV also exhibited a similar sound....is this a common thing because of the AWD system.

I'm guessing that in some instances there is a little slack in the drivetrain that ocassionally gets picked up when accelerating hence the "clunk"

certainly welcome ur opinions.

Cheers

Sam

Hey Croy,

My Grande has a couple of different clunks, one from the front end when turning and sometimes another really loud one from the mid/rear.

Just sooo tired of taking my car to the dealer but hopefully will get around to it in the next week or so. Then again, last time I asked them to check out the 'clunks' they said there was nothing wrong so I might be better taking it to a real mechanic to have it diagnosed first :(

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Thanks Ashley. Got lucky last time too as it was cylinder 4 last time a coil failed. The luck will eventually run out tho...

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Your are fortunate that cylinder 6 is easily accessible on the right hand side of Bank 2 which is the one closest to the front of the vehicle/radiator. Cylinder layout for the 2GR-FE is in the following URL: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/location-of-cylinder-6-v6.470305/

      Power Steering Pump Leaking

      Yes repair cost would be so high it would be more than the car is worth. I wouldn't put an additive in the engine to stop an oil leak, but that's just me. If it plugs up gaps what's it doing to the rest of the engine with fine mesh filters etc. If the leak isn't bad I'd just leave it but make sure you are checking the oil every week, which you should be doing anyway without leaks.

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Hi All, Got the above engine code driving home tonight. I know ignition coil F is cylinder 6 and it's on the front bank, just want to confirm with the brains trust that it's the cylinder on front bank on the passenger side? Been combing the workshop manual but just can't find where it shows the cylinder numbers.

      Major Oil Leak

      Hi Jack. So sorry to hear that mate. If you can see metal flakes on the dipstick then I'd say the engine is toast. The VVTi system is very sensitive to low oil pressure/lack of oil. The metal flakes are most likely bearing material, either from the camshaft or the crankshaft. Either way you'll need a new engine or to rebuild it. Did you have the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil line replaced with full metal ones?

      Fuel gauge wander

      Hi guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Coaster and have changed my fuel tank sender and when I drive the fuel gage needle moves up and down about 1/8th of a tank depending on if I am accelerating or decelerating. I can’t personally remember if it used to do this before I changed the faulty sender or not. Just today I removed the instrument cluster and changed out the caps on the two boards for the fuel/temp and the tachometer gauge sets and reinstalled but no difference. I checked the orientation of the sender, however it can only go in one way or the screws don’t line up. Not sure if this slosh wander of the gauge is normal for the Coaster as it doesn’t do it in my Hiace. Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions?

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊
