  1. Recently had the RAV4 V6 2008 serviced at a Toyota dealer here in Perth (80k service). Prior to that, I had noticed the car was running a bit rough and making some odd noises. I advised them of this when I took the car in for service. They advised that the water pump needs replacing as the bearings are shot, hence the pulley on the water pump is making the noise. The car is no longer under any warranty's. Due to the car being a V6, they have to take the engine out to replace the water pump and have quoted 9 hours worth of labour. The total cost including parts and labour comes in just under $1800. Just wanted to know if anyone else had had a similar experience with their RAV4 V6. Should I take the car somewhere else and get another quote to get this fixed due to the high nature of the cost etc... Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance, Andrew
  2. thanks...Not sure at this stage, I'd really like to do something with the stereo system but haven't looked into it seriously yet.

  4. thanks for the reply...I'd say within the engine bay for sure. Cheers, Andy
  5. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue in the past. As soon as the engine starts up, there is an immeidate dry rattle noise for about a second. This doesn't happen all the time, just on the odd occassion and seems to happen even if the car is hot or cold. I recently had the car in for a service at Toyota and advised them of the noise but they couldn't reproduce the problem. Just wondering if anyone might know what this noise could be. cheers, Andy
