The third owner didn't change oil from 2017 to 2020. Or I didn't see that well?

GAZZUZZ:


He didn't use a dealership that took records.

He must be a Nigerian

With that danfo driving that lead to ditch, who can know

GAZZUZZ:


Engine service history.

Engine had a history of consistent oil changes at about 5000 mile intervals .

All was fine till the third user

GAZZUZZ:






Replacing the Engine was a very good decision, there where too many small parts that would have been impossible to find locally if we didn't.

Process of preparing the drivetrain was like putting a puzzle together, it's pretty easy once you understand the dynamics of what parts to find where and how hoses pipes and wires should be routed.

Oil Drain and change was done on the ground, engine was cranked on the ground until oil light went off, indicating possible good oil pressure and supply. Didn't hear any unwanted sounds also. There's really no space at the back of this engine so no mistakes can be made with piping or harnesses.

Engine harness was rebuilt and all old missing and broken sockets were replaced.

Old O2 sensors were detected early and replaced before installing. If you are familiar with this engine, you would know there's little room for replacing O2 sensors with engine in bay. Also missing catalytic converter, but we got O2 spacers to solve problem.

The Turbo intercooler that came with new engine was Damaged, so old one had to be used .

Old Turbo intercooler backwashed and reused.

Engine harness cleaned, most visible metal parts that had been discoloured , wire brushed and repainted, fuel lines run, fuel pressure tested,

Drivetrain reinstalled.

Final part.

Was a long road to recovery, but was worth the effort.

Still has a Few jobs left like new tyres , headlamps , Front grill and some upholstery work. Finally a good paint job would Make a big difference.

Apart From this, Vehicle Drives Fine and has been Restored to Factory Specs .


This Video was First start, and several starts Later after installing more engine bay accessories.

GAZZUZZ:


Nah me go say thank you. E nor easy to use money of one small corolla to revive one RDX.

GAZZUZZ:
This is mostly a summary of work don on the 2001 V8 sequoia

ABS, check engine, VSC and traction were lit up.

These were caused by the following.

ABS. Abs sensor front left. It was replaced.

Check engine. Misfire caused by faulty coil packs and dirty injectors, (pics below), coils were changed, injectors were replaced

Transmission temperature sensor. This sensor is located in the beginning of the pipe for transmission oil cooler. (pic below)

O2 sensor bank1 sensor1, O2 sensor Bank2sensor2.

Both sensors had open circuits in heater section, and we're replaced.

There was a new problem once the o2 sensors were working properly again, catalyst efficiency below threshold on bank2 came up, now the owner and I never envisaged such and issue and time and money was not on our side so I spaced the downstream O2 sensor, drove 60km and code dint come back.
