RAV4 Diesel 2AD-FTV blown head gasket


Talbit

Recommended Posts

I have a 2013 Rav4 with the  2AD-FTV diesel and was very active on this forum with regards the excessive oil consumption. I decided to let it go and live with the issue.

It appears now that this engine has been proven to be a real lemon! It now appears to have a blown head gasket. The first sign is coolant being blown out of the reserve bottle under high pressure. I see there are no active posts on this subject but appears to have been noted in the UK.

See https://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/105938-definitive-22-d4d-head-gasket-stance-by-toyota/

Does anyone in Australia have this problem. I haven't approached Toyota for comment. My service mechanic (non Toyota) says trade it in. It's not worth the risk of trying to fix it.

Hi,

Matt Morgan Here NZL. Sounds like I am going through the same issue. Haven't taken it to Toyota yet. Pressure building in Cooling system and blows out header tank. What was the remedy and what did they find with your Rav4 Diesel?

I see this was from a while ago but any help appreciated.
