It uses a 2GR engine .

What you need to know is if yours is
Oil cooler type or non oil cooler type.

Highlander from 09 to '13 is a direct fit
Sienna 07 to '10 is a direct fit
Venza 09 to 11 is a direct fit

The above is if your engine is a oil cooler type

If not oil cooler type, the following should fit:

Rav4 V6 3.5L from 06
Avalon 3.5L from 05
Highlander 3.5L from 08
Sienna 3.5L from 07

If the car was damaged by flood,
Buy both engine and gear

prices have dropped for the 2gr-fe (supply is up)

You can get it for as low as 420,000 to as high as 500,000 depending on source, and how sharp it is.

no start condition

No compression on all cylinders

water in engine oil

Cracked windsheild

Dysfunctional airconditioning

Scratches and dents all over

Very dirty interior

Fastest way to bring down a 4X4 2gr-fe engine is to take the subframe down

Thank you Gazzuzz

Such a shame that some people who have little or no clue about what they are doing will leave you and your vehicle in a mess.

Lesson learned the hard way.

This is something different.

Vehicle purchased from Canada in 2015 Dec, never had any problems.. However, took off from the East all clean with just one issue, AC problem.
Vehicle was meant to be brought to Lagos for that to be sorted and vehicle serviced. Along the way, was informed by the driver that vehicle overheated, vehicle towed to Lagos to a "mechanic" whose "over qualification" abilities to my belief further damaged the vehicle leaving it in a complete mess.

Gazzuzz had to step in.. so here we are!

after ans inspirational meal washed down with original origin
a.c diagnosis starts.

Air conditioning system of this vehicle consists of

* compressor (on engine)
* Evaporator
* Expansion valve
* condenser
* pipe work
* electronics.


I'll start with what I call sectional vacuuming it's basically blocking off parts of the system, and vacuuming.

That way I can identify parts that are leaking.

With the compressor and condenser out, I will vacuum the system with 2 pipes blocked.

That way if there's no leak, I'm sure the pipe work is not leaking and the evaporator is not leaking.

The pipes have been modified in biafra land so bear with us.

just realized that one cow in my workshop forgot to leave the valves on the equipment open.

There's a leak and it's a fast one.

Switching to sniffers.

these are sniffers, they beep when they detect a leak. I am going to re-charge the system with freon, then search for a beep.

Good to have more than one, because the brain of this equipment is very touchy.

Had to stand up and check all connections again.

Pipe work is fine, just these children that don't pay attention in class.

Evaporator no leak, major pipe work no leaks.

Let's move over to condenser.
