Moin Moin I’m thinking about getting a RAV4 2.2D. I have a corresponding offer including the payment of my current car. Background: I drive with the family several times a year to Sweden and partly Norway. We have now often noticed that a little more ground clearance and four-wheel drive would certainly be more pleasant. However, the offered RAV4 is already from 2015, even though it has not yet run sooo much with almost 90000 km. kkram, I don’t need it either. Is first hand, accident-free, checkbook continuous with Toyota and from the Toyota dealer it is now also offered. purely optical looks the car great. My question – I would like to drive the car a little longer, at least 5-6 years at approx. 20,000 km a year. What are your experiences with the RAV4? Do you have concerns about the age? Thank you for your help / assessment and many greetings from the north

Hello, I stand between the two small SUVs : Which is more reliable about the engine and the repairs ? Which one is more convenient in the maintenance ? Which one is better on the road ? With which one can travel long and comfortable with full trunk ? I know there are many questions but I would really like to get some helpful answers I will also ask this question in the CR-V forum to get some experience. Greeting from Lux.

Hello friends, today I wanted to do the Rav4 something good and then I’m in the washing machine. As it is always like that, the employee is asking me to take the car through the chain. Put the gear lever in N and turn off the engine or car. Everything is taken along as usual and rolls along. Then the first time the Rav lifts up in the front and stays hanging!! Schreckseksekunde eins…. Well then he caught himself again and just before the end of the washing system again picks up the car briefly and leads bt stecken!! Scary customers without end. At that moment I want to start the engine but does not go there in N-position. Then on P and then tried again did not go first. The behind me starts to honk and so on. Sometime after a feeling of eternity I was able to drive somehow. Now I wonder if the Rav4 5 is even suitable for a washing machine?? Or did the guy put me in the wrong track?? Or how do you do this with a full hybrid?? N-position and engine or how?? Yours sincerely, Kadir

Hello together, we are currently driving an Audi A6 3.0 TDI competition from 2018 as a family car. Since we had our 3rd child last year, it will be in the vehicle closely provided all children are present. With a child seat and the 16-year-old on the back seat as well as the child seat in the trunk we meet with limits. Now I like the purchase of a Land Cruiser from 2020 in the Tec Edition. The vehicle is fully equipped, with terrain package, AHK and a parking heater. That the infotainment and I am aware that the quality does not correspond to the A6. I did a test drive over 30 kilometers and was quite impressed by the driving feeling. We often drive to the family in Bavaria or the North Sea, in the Audi very comfortable and relaxed. How does the Land Cruiser do there. Is it to be used as a travel vehicle or are further trips more an impression for the family. How are your experiences?

Hello Forum, I have just talked to my FTH about various methods/systems for particle filter cleaning. My opinion: Expansion of the particle filter and cleaning in a special operation = outside the workshop, since there are the corresponding experiences regarding DPF and also the cleaning (according to my knowledge) almost restores the new condition. My FTH said that this would not count because only the removal of the particle filter from Therefore, it would recommend a cleaning in the built-in condition (TUNAP or similar) where a sensor bore in the DPF is inserted into the DPF via a lance of detergent, then rinsed out and the car then burns itself again during driving operation. Lt. of his statement the quality of this cleaning method is just as good as that of an external cleaning company. The costs here are in a similar frame as with the external cleaning (350 – 400€). To this my questions: Has anyone ever had the DPF removed / extended on the RAV4 and can understand the stated cost in any way ? Is there possibly even a support instruction for this ? What do you think of the statement quality cleaning in the built-in condition = quality cleaning in the developed condition ? VG mt123

First hello to everyone! I am interested in the RAV4 (XA5), as far as possible 2022 or end 2021. So far I have no experience with Toyota, currently driving MB E 200d T-model. Think about a change, because among other things with Toyota with change premium etc. is advertised and MB (Service) is annoying me. I feel so slow on the model, but one thing confuses me. Empty weight/Max. Zul. Total weight I have found in the internal differ very much from each other. Toyota RAV4 2.5 Hybri d: Empty weight Manufacturer 1590 kg Permissible total weight Manufacturer 2935 kg Load Manufacturer 1.345 kg Towing load unbraked / braked at 12% 750 / 800 kg Then I see the following: Weight & Towing load Empty weight: 1.745 to 1.825 kg Permissible total weight: 2.135 to 2.185 kg Permissible towing load unbraked (max.): 750 kg Towing load allowed (max.): 800 kg (2WD), 1.650 kg (4WD) Support load: 70 kg That would be 2185-1745=440kg Can I j The first thing I found would be top, the second, the end of the RAV4 for me before I start with it. It might also be connected with motorization etc. I would at least know which one to look around. General tips are also welcome. What should be the equipment or even recall/other problems you have had so far. I thank you in advance. VG Murat PS: About the search function I have nothing If there is anything I’m happy about the link. Then I’ll read in there.

Well, and again our new old Raffi has revealed a secret: under the driver’s seat we found this here http://data.motor-talk.de/…/raffi-001-7362143560658834304.JPG The part is wired and spat this Germany CD from September 2000:http://data.motor-talk.de/…/raffi-003-510284377144930288.JPG Otherwise, however, nothing in the vehicle indicates an existing navigation system: above all, we haven’t found a hidden monitor yet. an idea how to reanimate the Navi??? What kind of monitor would you have to install if the corresponding cables were not cut (well, theoretically you could also relocate them)???Does that make sense at all, because you get for example current CDs for this “tossed” and because this Toyota navigation system is so much more amazing than current cheap Tomtoms, Nüvis and colleagues???

Hello, I’m thinking about buying a RAV4 model year 2008. Would you like to know if the side-opening tailgate is impractical in practice or could you not load the car in the underground garage? Why does Toyota stick to this principle at all? Thank you JD

Hello, I am recently owner of a RAV4 Bj 2007 and have read a lot here. One thing, however, causes me stomach pain and so I hope that someone else has an idea: after about half an hour of motorway ride the RDKS light flashed continuously in my RAV4. I checked the tyre pressure, had all around 2.7 (of course warm, so it should fit with the specified 2.2 in cold condition). Nevertheless, the warning light flashes constantly on. Question: How dra is the whole thing, can I still drive on? And is there any way that I can turn off the flash myself?

with a loud plop, as if something more difficult had fallen to the ground my radio ” Navi”-CD-Player said goodbye. Everything was dark, no return camera was left. The next morning everyone was back again, but already after a short time the same game again: a loud plop (although no radio was on) and everything is dark. So far it has been repeated gneau again twice. Now it remains dark. I had suspected a backup. I have a radio-sicheur in the motorway to find on the passenger side. It seemed to me in measure, but for the sake of safety it changed nevertheless – without success. There are two more safety boxes: in the morraum on the driver side and in the inner up on the driver side below the steering wheel. I once set pictures, which for me there is no recognizable safety for the radio with it. Villeicht can help with yes someone. I would have enough if I had the Navi and the return camera again. Maybe I could have something bad. Thank you very much.
