Thank you Peter, I really appreciate you and your videos. As I am a DIY Person your videos are informative and very detailed. You have saved me a lot of money being able to perform these repairs myself without needing excessive shop manuals.. God bless and please keep up the amazing work..
Petr, To me, the 3rd generation RAV4 had the best features. With hidden rear storage compartment, a sliding second row seat which features a ski pass-through and the option of a V6, no other RAV4 has matched this one. I hope the owner gets another 200,000 miles from their RAV4.😁
I love how after 18 years these third gens are finally starting to show up everywhere in droves. You used to not hear about them much because they weren't popular. They finally overtook the Camry when these six years came out.
Thankyou Peter. I appreciate it is hard ot film all your work but it would have been nice to see the completed assembly with a quick verbal wrap on how it went. As always, value your expertise.
Right on! I have an '05 accord and I hope to have it for many more years. We're original owners! I have been watching ur channel for a couple years now and we just bought a Rav 4 gas awd. Will be watching u even more now TY. Where are u located? TY
@@gjveWi.I had Toyotas and Lexus that were 20 years old and didn’t see these types of issues. Must be an oversight when this generation of RAV4 was designed.
Another manor fail of these, having had two, and both failed.. the rear diff's all seem to fail around 175-225k and are flipping expensive to fix.. you'll start with what sounds like a bearing/wheel bearing sound.. But eventually the diff will just fail.. 2600.00 for a new one, and since it's on all of them, it's not a junk yard part.. ❤
Can the bearing alone be replaced (Viscous Coupler) rather than replacing the entire differential ? I replaced the drive shaft already but there is a bearing type noise present on my rav4.
On my 2009 Toyota, I had the exact same problem. The previous owner had replaced the Toyota hose clamps with aftermarket clamps. And they would leak due to temperature change. The OEM Toyota hose clamps were on back order, so I went to Pull-A-Part and found 6 of them.
@@Charlie_CrownOh a broken seal due to loose parts? Was he just demonstrating a chain of poor mechanic and poor fixes and then bringing us to the coolant leak? I thought they were related malfunctions. So they're just related to the previous "mechanic".
@@MavHunter20XX I believe the leak, due to the roof rack, is a known Toyota fault on that model, he was made aware of it by the customer and just shared it with us, completely unrelated to the coolant leak. I suspect it was the owner that attempted to repair the leak originally, the coolant leak, and I suspect he over tightened that clamp, possibly creating a split in the hose, he didn't really go into detail why it leaked, because those clamps are very good, albeit not the type used by Toyota, but should have been effective, if fitted correctly, imo 👍
@@efil4kizum Correct but the big difference is made to Toyota specifications and quality check controlled to conformity. Not doing their cheap knock off crap
