My new purchase 2010 V6

[awatea]

6 weeks ago I purchased this 2010 Rav4 V6.

Am very impressed with it's performance, very quick indeed.

Obviously with that kind of power comes the fuel consumption, but just feathering the accelerator it moves well enough.

Have been doing some research and have found the 3.5 has a issue with Oil Cooler lines.

Have noticed the top VVT line is a solid line, no rubber elbow.

Can't see clearly underneath without taking the bottom cover plate off, it's been way to wet lately to do it.

So hopefully the bottom 2 lines have been done too.

This one has steel rims but I want to put alloys on it.

Does anyonje know if 19' rims with a 245/55 tyre fit the car.

Can't answer the tyre rim question, but I've got this model from new.

Currently have 293,000Kms on it and it has never skipped a beat and still drives like new.

I've put a UHF Radio and replace the standard stereo with a CarPlay/Android Auto Sony Head Deck in it and it will last our family until it dies.

Yours looks in better condition, but I've got the silver plastic fading now.

Thanks mate, good to hear you had it from new. Reliabilty plus.

My roof is starting to show signs of clearcoat fade, but am considering a respray in the near fututre.

Got a few more mods to do to the car, should look good once I've finished.
