The rear fan mounting in my Kluger came with rust.

A replacement part was sent from Japan with more rust.

Apparently and issue with all Klugers.

Anyone else have the same problem?

There is an access panel rear-right hand side.

Picture is of replacement part sent from Japan!

That is a bit unusual. I would've expected that part to have some kind of coating, like zinc or something similar. Looks to be bare mild steel. 

Are you replacing the whole fan assembly because yours has a rusted mount ?

Japan has a high humid climate and if parts aren't stored correctly, those that are bare metal will surface rust.

You could just clean it up with some vinegar or deoxidine and coat it in epoxy paint.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Car was only a couple of weeks old when I found the issue.

Toyota have confirmed the problem is on all Klugers (and probably other cars) so I will wait for them to remove the rust..... Been 8 months so far......

      1984 Tarago GL

      Howdy, I have a one owner 1984 Tarago with 186000 km. Runs like a dream and has rust in all the right places. Not roadworthy, rego has recently run out. Was still being driven until a few moths ago. Interior is great, everthing works. Seats arer great, red velvet. Was almost always just the driver and his golf clubs, so not worn. Anyone interested? Make us an offer. Otherwise it will probably go to cash for cars wreckers. Located in Eltham, Victoria. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bztBDwxmcKm8jMwq7

      Hi all, I've just bought a 2008 Estima and I thought I'd join the forum to learn about other's experiences with the vehicle and hopefully get some tips to get the most out of her.

      Aurion tyres

      Hi. I had a look at Nexen...they're a bit rare. But came across Roadstone - which are made / owned by Nexen. About 50% cheaper than most, with good reviews - looks like a winner 👍

      Wobble at the front

      Mine has just started the exact same thing shaking quite violently under light acceleration around 70-80kmph it starts around 50 and seems to get less noticeable as speed increases then gets really bad again after 70 but goes away when foots takes off or I accelerate harder, it started after I ran over an already dead roo the other day when I drive interstate so in hoping it's not the regular gearbox shudder of the dying torque converter but hoping you guys worked it out in the end

      GVM UPGRADE ON LC300 GR-SPORT VARIANT

      In SA unfortunately. This is a bit of a vexing issue as there is a variety of opinion from many providers. Common theme has been that the loss of the AVS / electronic dampening is not much of an issue whilst others have proffered that you lose the ability to select Sport Mode which involves engine and trans settings. Trying to get to the truth.

      New RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser two wheel drive battery issue

      I’m a new user of Toyota, I just bought a brand new RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid 2-wheel drive 2024 two weeks ago. Now there are some issues made me uncomfortable. The first one is the average oil consumption is deadly sticking to 5.3L per 100km and never goes down anymore, the battery indicator shows it has never been in full charged, and the power level dropping is very fast, even at night time, when I parked the car in the garage last night with battery power level at 6 of 8, and I started it this morning, the power level dropped down to 3 of 8, only one night parking. Is there any one experienced for hybrid car user can tell me if this case is usual or not? I strongly doubt the battery is not brand new, am I right? Or who knows where I can have the car battery inspected or tested to make sure it’s new or not?

      Hello everyone I’m a new owner of Toyota vehicle, I just bought a brand new RAV4 Cruiser Hybrid 2024 two weeks ago. Now there are some issues made me uncomfortable. The first issue is the average oil consumption is deadly sticking to 5.3L per 100km and never goes down anymore, the second issue is battery indicator shows it never been in full charged, and the power level dropping is very fast, even at night time, if I parked the car in the garage tonight with battery power level at 6 of 8, when I started it next morning, the level drops down to 3 of 8, only one night parking. I am looking for some experienced hybrid car user, can you tell me if my case is usual or not? I strongly suspect the battery is not brand new, anyone can tell me the answer? Or tell me where I can have the car battery inspected or tested to make it clear if it’s new or not?
