Hi Everyone,

I am new to forums and am thinking very hard on purchasing an Aurion 2014 ATX. Is there anything issues with model I should look out for, thanks in advance.

Just make sure that the vehicle has a good service history of regular oil changes.

2GR-FE engine is more susceptible to oil sludge if poor quality oils have been used and irregular service interval. This is not something that I would expect in a 4 yr old vehicle that has had the regular logbbook services but check anyway.

Definitely check that there are no coolant leaks and the water pump has to be replaced. Potentially, it is a $2000 repair bill involving engine removal but it is possible to do a water pump replacement without the engine removal.

not sure about when water pump would need doing.

Lifetime of a water pump is variable. Some owners have reported replacing water pumps between 70-100K kms. Personally, I think that the harder the engine is revved, the more wear on the water pump bearing.

My 2006 Aurion ATX has just passed the 197K kms mark.  In the past 3 years, I have just changed the coolant in the overflow tank as an annual maintenance item. Thinking about doing a radiator flush but maybe not necessary for quite some time.

My 2008 Touring water pump went after the 120k service. After the pressure test during the service it started dripping coolant for about 2.000kms, then one afternoon on my way back home it suddenly decided to leave us for a better world. I haven't heard of many dying water pumps on the 2012 onwards Aurions though.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
