Hi I’m Loopee Lala
I’m from Cornwall in the uk.. rescued my 1st Rav4 black 2004 plate d4d that needs love as been unloved for a while .. Frankie, that’s his name & I love him, so nice to drive & such a gentleman around these Cornish twiddly lanes.. few issues but I’m hoping Frankie will live on so any advice on my posts means u will be helping Frankie be happy so we can continue to enjoy the journeys we have together 😄
My issue.. please can someone help me decide what is wrong with my Rav4... drives fine cold start but soon as it’s warm or under load eg hill or poodle about town & not quite 1st gear so 2nd & it lurched & goes.. then real flat exceleration like fuel stare, turbo cuts in & out, surges, then cuts to limp mode.. turn off, lock car, unlock, starts & fine for a bit, engine maintenance light stays on.. after a couple of starts or next day engine maintenance light goes off & seems to run ok for about 10 miles then we do it all again...
If I clear the code it’s ok for bit then back to same ..
turbo fault codes apparently.. not sure which but told I need part number 25819 27040 Valve Assy, Vacuum Regulate?
Also see it could be the vsv ? Anyone know part numbers ?
BOOST VACUUM PRESSURE ??
Turbo works just intermittent & pain in the backside.. did have diesel bug but treated that & changed filters ... is it the flap sticky? Is there a simple solution to a very expensive Toyota part (nearly £170) or does the avensis turbo which is same part number but 10 on end instead of 40 ?? This is a third of the price..
Please help save my Frankie.. he’s been unloved before I got him & I just want to make him better .. any ideas & thoughts would be so much appreciated :0)
