Any Toyoto Rav4 Owners?
My 2004 Rav4 with 52,000 on the clock - Clutch gone also FlyWheel

Anybody have this trouble?
 
Re: Toyota Rav4 Owners

yeah i had the same thing happen on a 2002 rav 4. it was out of warranty and had already got it repaired before i found out it was a common problem so toyota dealership weren't helpful. think they changed the flywheel on later models. cost a fortune at the time

Hi,

Both myself and hubby are present and past owners of Rav4 and have not had any problems with them to date.
 
Re: Toyota Rav4 Owners

Two of my friends had the same fault with Toyoto RAV4
On inside the Guarantee and one outside of it.
A message should go out to all TOYOTO RAV4 OWNERS:-
BEFORE THE GUARANTEE EXPIRES GO TO YOUR GARAGE AND HAVE FLYWHEEL and GEAR BOX CHECKED. The one outside the Guarantee cost €2,500 including Gear Box - over €1,400 for parts.
As shown on a "Used Car WebSite" this is a common fault with this type of car.
 
Sorry about that.
I was so upset on the cost of replacing FLYWHEEL that I did not read the Sections.
It would appear from other sites that there is a fault with FLYWHEELS in TOYOTA RAV4's going back to 2002. Customer Care in Toyoto - DON'T CARE
 
Having to replace the dual mass flywheel in Rav4 for the second time. Going to replace with solid flywheel and clutch kit this time. Dual mass seems to be a waste of space, think Ford are having same issues with the new Tranny. Being replaced with solid flywheel. Afaik all that is sacrificed is a slightly smoother take off, is this right? It'll prob cost about €700 to put right this time
 
I notice that 90% of people ride the clutch when at traffic lights ect. This creates excessive wear. This will account for short clutch life
 
How do I know; I sit and watch them every day, they are so impatient waiting for the lights to change
