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.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@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
I like the way Peter talks. Nice, pleasant and doesn't get excited!
Explains well. Hello from Canada Peter!
The Car Care Nut mentioned the same hose. !
How long ago was that? I completely was thinking it was going to be an oil pressure hose that's famous on these

As a bit of a MacGyver myself my bet would be the guy that did the garden hose clamp is also the one that did the duct tape caulk job.
Thank goodness for available clamps of the proper size so we don’t destroy the plastic housings!
Thank you Peter. 👍
- I was able to find that assembly by an aftermarket maker. But I had to supplying my own clamps which have held fine.
Saludos desde México CDMX bendiciones para todos ustedes
Thank you Peter
Love the TRD Hat, I think you need to get a matching TRD shirt and you are set
Thanks for the information.
Newer models use synthetic oil. Change oil every 5,000 miles or once a year is recommended if you don't drive much.
Thanks Peter, good. Tip , I will check my hoses on my car for this problem.👍😋

My 2010 RAV4 with the 2AR-FE engine had the same problem. All fixed with factory parts and coolant.
👍
Muy agradecido con usted por sus vídeos son de gran ayuda para reparar mi auto

That is shocking for a Toyota. Didn’t know they had this issue.
Remember with 200k miles - that is not bad actually

Thanks for you video I enjoy and learn a lot. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
Great Cars
If it where my car, I would change the thermostat at this point too
Great content! I love your voice and speaking style as well. Keep em coming.
some out there swear by those worm-clamps
Thank you for your video's Peter, I enjoy you and your content.

What is the special waterproof caulking. How do you remove that plastic piece. I have the same issue. Thanks
Yes! We need the rest of the video.
Yes, i have the same problem
Take care my friend and thank you for the video. Cheers 🇨🇦🇺🇸👍
One of my favorit youtube channels. Great content!
When I removed the roof racks on my RAV4 it was noticeably quieter at highway speed and looked better too. Begone, foul antlers!
My wife has a 2011 rav4 and I have kept an eye on it there's only a teeny tiny Pink spot. Right now but I'm going to keep an eye on it
Peter, is it possible to change PCV valve from top in 2009 Rav 2ARFE engine without taking off intake.?
The Car Care Nut has a video explaining how to do it.
Thanks ❤
Those headlights don’t look too good either Peter.
great video
The part numbers for the clamps are incorrect
Oil Burning? 😁
That outlet on the head is one piece. This is not a good idea.
Onegai Sensei, how is it possible a coolant hose leak can make the opposite interior wet!? I don't get it.
It doesn't, two separate problems, the interior damp spot is coming through from the back of the roof rack, probably through the fixing bolts

@@Charlie_Crownon the coolant leak, it appears to be a common issue, as I had to do the same fix. I had a split in the Y assembly.
IF YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT, DO IT YOURSELF... D I Y
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE 👍
Here is a good reason not to buy cheap Chinese knockoffs
I cannot understand why Toyota is now having some parts made in China... Mostly oil seals I have found so far + a tail gate stay

The drivers?
Do it once the right way every dozen years or fiddle with it every day forever
Duurmann lol
That’s bullshit man no film of repair 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👧👎
Really? Anyone with mechanical ability can do it right by themselves.
@@Wilksfarm yes they can
part # 16057-36011 (hose sub-assy) has an MSRP of 87$ in March-'24
