http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AZ_engine Unfortunately ,a host of other Toyota cars use that same engine..and painfully upgrading is the most proffered solution..eg for the rav4 or highlander,replace engine to the v6 one.God save us. 1 Like |

dave.emuobo: Hmm! The link listed number of Toyotas that have that engine: 1. Lexus RX: 2000 - 2003 models 2. Toyota Camry: 2002 - 2009 models 3. Toyota Matrix X, XR & XRS: 2009 - 2011 models. 4. Pontiac Vibe: 2009 - 2010 models 5. Toyota Corolla XRS: 2009 - 2012 models 6. Toyota Camry Solara: 2004 - 2008 models 7. Toyota Highlander: 2001 - 2007 models. 8. Toyota Rav4: 2004 - 2008 models 9. Toyota Avensis: 2003 - 2008 models. Like i have earlier noted, find out the engine inside the engine bay of any of these Toyota vehicles listed above, before you purchase. They all come with other engines other than the dreaded 2AZ-FE engine. If you cant identify the 2AZ-FE engine from others or how it looks like, avoid any of those models with 2.4 L engines, Unless you can live with the issues it comes with: replacing your engine or rebuilding it after a short period of ownership.

Note: If you already own any of those car models and you are yet to experience it (if your car has done more than 150k kilometers), either the engine has been replaced or rebuilt by the previous owner(s) or its likey to visit you soon. "Its not my portion" no dey for dis one. Though, there is nothing prayer cant do. But just be ready, incase the miracle no come happen. By the way, dont rely on odometer while buying any of those cars. Only few honest Nigerian car dealers dont roll back the odometers of cars they sale. Ikenna. 1 Like |

oweniwe: I don't know wat's wrong with toyota. Apart from the frame, almost everything else in toyota cars is made of plastic. That's why toyota interiors don't last long. My 1995 camry is 8yrs old from date of importation in tokunbo spec. Toyota Rocks.... I will still buy a toyota again. This time 2004 4runner- chief of SUV's... |

Ikenna351: Lets not forget that its not only the Carmry 2002-2006 model that have that engine. Toyota Highlander 2001-2007 models too have it. I do not disagree with you but so far, my most reliable car among Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi is still Toyota! Gbam!!! 1 Like |

@all, any known solution to this head gasket failure yet? obi2012: are you doing the aforementioned remedy before or after the failure |

The issue with repairs in Nigeria are the right tool and how to. This problem is less risky and easy than changing timing belt, water pump etc. But our auto technitians are seing it as no go area due to lack of update on their technical ability. 3 Likes |

no solution or prevention.. just when it happens, replace with a metal head gasket, machine the head and replace the bolts (torqued down properly) upengineer: @all, |

DECOtech: And it's really not that of a big deal in the scope of things. While it shouldn't happen but you can solve this with helical easily. Toyotas produce world leading automobiles and sometimes even with the best intention you get a foul ball. Where they missed the game was not feting up and taking care of the customers. I will still push a Toyota than buy a Peugeot. "OP, With a five year old vehicle you can't assume that it has not been severely overheated and some clown has not tried to cure a headgasket problem by cranking down on the headbolts. Do the valve covers show any signs or previous removal?" Not every single engine had issue so I think the poster I quoted from the link has something. 1 Like |
