This video was amazing! My RAV4 starter went out this morning. I ordered a new one from our local auto shop with same-day delivery. My husband wanted my car towed to a mechanic or contact a mobile mechanic. After watching your video at my daughter's guitar lessons, I replaced it. Once we got home via ride share, I got straight to work. After about an hour and a half (I kept misplacing my tools and had to grab a step stool because I was short), my car was back up and running. It was worth the amount of grease I got all over myself.
If you are watching this and are about to change your starter, just know that you do NOT have to take out the air filter box if you don't want to. You can just remove the battery and both plates underneath it and you should be able to get to the starter under the filter box. It'll save you like 45 minutes of work. This video is a very good and professional method, but other videos on this exact same car show people doing it without removing the air filter box,
Thank you for this! Just finished changing ours. I have a 2010 limited V6 rav4 so it was a tiny bit different but your video was still the exact step by step I needed to successfully swap it out and with only using the most basic socket wrench tools you can get off amazon. No drill needed.
Girlfriends car literally died yesterday and wouldn’t start . After tapping on the starter I was able to avoid abandoning the car for the night, now I’m replacing it at the moment and I have to say this video timing was right on cue

I'm glad you made an extra mention of the grounding bolt. When I was disassembling the unit I didn't know where it came from.

By far, the best instructional video on the subject out there. Couldn't have been made easier. Thank you.

Excellent video, thank you! I was able to do it on my 2011 without removing the air filter box, although the back bolt was definitely tricky.
Thank you so much for the informative video. By taking a few extra steps like removing the battery and Trey save me a lot of wiggle room
+@nicholasiannetti2011 Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Awesome! You make it look easy. My daughter wants to do it even. Also, great lighting. Some youtube videos are so dark you can't see it. Thanks!
Might need to do this soon, will be watching this video alllllll the way through the process 👍👌
It was best explainable video, She done it so easy but for me I am not sure if I will do it easily 😅 thanks for the video
Great video. Helped me replace my starter fast! All the right info. Thanks
Great video. I guess i will spend 1k for the mechanic to do this. Intimidated!
Awesome video
Thanks
Thank you
Very good. A+ for everything.
Excellent video. Thank you.
You can do this without having to take air filter box out.
Great video!! Thank you
any major difference between this and the 2013?
How important is getting the right torque on the starter bolts?
Just make sure they’re really tight by hand
Very nice video. Thank you
Very nice video
That voice sounds very familiar... 😁
Gracias,yyy Feliz, Navidad, 22.
Awesome!!!
Умница.
My motor mount is in the way of pulling out the starter on my 2009 wtf.
No RAV4 , no model 2006-2012. model 80 jahre??
What’s the estimated labor time to replace the starter?
200-400 depending on how nice the mechanic is.
@Southwest T In video it looks easy and quick but in real world it will take more than 30 mins.
huh, has a screw type clamp instead of that pain in the ARSE, Snap clamp on the intake hose to the throttle body
EXCELLENT VIDEO...
