  • Install Rav 4 trailer coupling afterwards

    Hello Schraubergemeinde! I would like to install a trailer coupling at the RAV4 XA3 soon. A used original AHK from an accident – with wire harness! Has any of you already converted this? The car has PDC at the back – how does that look with the beep. Can you reprogram something? Please ask for a few tips…

  • RAV4 – BJ 2004- Error message/control lights

    Hello, have just discovered the following entry here in the MOTOR-TALK – forum of 28.01.2010: “can one tell me what it means when lights up in the cockpit VCR and TRC and the yellow motor control light ? I have already installed a new lambarsonde.toyota says it can be the kat or the ECU. I have a rav bauj.04,150ps 2liter” I have exactly the same problem. The car drives otherwise impeccable. Toyota dealer has read out the error code and deleted it (lights flashed After 2 days, however, again) we said something like this: “PUMPENSTROMKREIS THE LAMBDASONDE” would be affected (lt error code reading). Lt. Toyota dealer could have it different causes, the error code has NEVER occurred there – one would have to check Lamdasonde, electronics, etc. – there was to say the least relative perplexity. Any similar experience (see problem) made or an idea to the error source / cause ??? Thank you!

  • Continuous running light/day running light on RAV4 III XA3 (CA30W)

    Hello, maybe someone can help me with a topic for lighting the RAV 4, BJ 2007. The vehicle has activated a daytime running light, i.e. as soon as the engine is running the complete dipped light. After the RAV4 had an automatic driving light, I would like to switch it off. Would be happy if you have tips for me. Sebastian

  • Toyota Rav4 2.2 diesel 150ps bj. 2012 Purchase advice

    Hello together, I intend to buy a Toyota Rav4 bj. 2012-2013. It should definitely become a diesel with four-wheel drive. Now my questions to the community: How good is the 2.2L 150ps diesel engine? Does it count as reliable? How often do you have to change the longlife oil? What does it consume on average?(7-8 liter?) What about the transmission? Manulles or rather automatic? What intervals are there when changing the transmission oil? I intend to change the car over 200tkm to drive, is the automatic transmission the right one? Thank you already before Greeting Konstantin

  • RAV4 Quality Rearview Camera

    Hi, we are today a RAV4 PHEV test drive. Fully equipped – it really convinced us everything. Very pleasant to drive. With us only the economic question arises, whether the extra charge for the PHEV would be worthwhile, because we have a lot of short distance (working path 3km) in everyday life and we have to weigh whether it would not also a full hybrid do. What I noticed during the test drive: the car had a very bad return camera! Since it rains The picture was rather pixelated and the lines were the same. We have already driven a few other cars and with no one (except Opel Grandland) there was such a bad picture. Recently we were in the USA and had a RAV4 as a rental car, but it had a much better resolution. The dealer could not give me precise information and clarified it. Did we have a “mountain model” or did the RAV4 have a we What a bad camera?

  • RAV4 Bj 2005, last key lost with transponder: ECU EEPROM “Virgin” file searched

    Hello, unfortunately, a family member has lost all keys with transponder to the vehicle. (The last one probably disposed of with the household garbage) The car is standing on the yard and is open. Since the key shells were broken quite often, however, fortunately still a key beard exists without transponder. I have now already had 3 keys cut back and got the matching transponders (Texas Crypto 4D67). Not learning keys without an existing key and wants about 2,000 euros for completely new electronics. According to my research, it should be possible to reset the EEPROM in the ECU “virginalize” and then learn new keys. Electronic knowledge from the Z80 era is still available, as well as an Eeprommer and an electronic soldering piston. Since the Eeprom could not be read out on the board (also not with inactivated clock chip of the ECU ) I have it shorthand Unfortunately, there was nothing more useful on it. (I guess, a “resetting method” (bridge in ODB2 port Pin 4 waiting for 13, 30min) seems to have deleted everything, but new keys cannot be learned.) But the Virgin file I’m dealing with seems to be wrong. It’s only at address 0x0B8 the byte sequence(hex) FB DF 5A 69. No keys can be learned … Does anyone have a working Virgin dump for this ECU ? Or can I learn the keys at a reasonable price? Or another idea? Best regards Markus

  • Corolla TS or RAV 4

    Hello together, I’ve been in this forum for a long time but more on the VOLVO page. After now 4 elks in 16years the era Volvo in our house is coming to an end. I just don’t want and can’t get used to the pricing policy anymore. I never had problems on the technical side or trouble with a workshop, everything great. And as a former multi-driver (40000-50000km/year) there was nothing better for me than Volvo seats. The current offer of my dealer and also other driving I want to pay almost as much for a V60 as for a fully equipped V70. After my wife and mother have been driving an Auris hybrid for about. 2 years, I have been more and more busy with this drive. Think of my next becomes a Hybrid 2.0. Now to my question, what would you recommend me. Corolla TS or RAV 4. We have 2 children and I use the car so 15000km/year. Facilities I would take at both lounge What do the leasing offers at Toyota look like? Sincerely Pfanni

  • Purchase advice RAV4

    Hello together! After two test drives with an MB GLC and GLB I was recommended by an acquaintance to keep an eye on the RAV4 … so shortly afterwards the test drive with the RAV4 plugin Hybrid came about on Saturday. I had never considered a Toyota in my car selection to date…but the test drive with the RAV4 somehow pleased me…(driving feeling, space,…) That’s why I’ve been trying to inform myself about this vehicle for a few days now. First of all, I am interested in the quality, longevity, maintenance intensity, as well as the maintenance costs from your experience, as I drive my cars for about 7 years on average…. The only thing I know about Toyota is the good reputation in terms of quality and good breakdown statistics…Can you assume that with the current Toyotas too? Thank you in advance and many greetings from the south!

  • Are there any recuperation levels in the RAV 4 plug-in XA5?

    Hello and good day! I’ve already googled and searched here for the following posts but unsuccessfully. Also on YouTube was hoping that in the introduction of the XA5 plug-in I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in EZ 2020 and finally we have a Prius BJ 2013 as a second car. Both vehicles are very good. In the Mitsubishi I particularly like that a manually adjustable recuperation socket is available. There are paddles in the stuer wheel with which you can adjust this. Link s you can increase the recuperation socket by typing from B1 to B5. On the right you can reduce it until you completely switch off from B5 to B0 in B0 there is no recuperation. When driving with D the recuperation socket is automatically B2 and you can then adjust it with the paddles as desired. Now we come to the Prius Man go with D and when I walk away from the gas there is a certain degree of recuperation there. You can still go to the B position and there is more recuperation. n can’t be further influenced Now my question: Is there any paddles or a way to influence the recuperation socket with the RAV 4? I also sent P? to users who drive a RAV4 but got different answers – from “there is none” to “yes, there is …” and “you can control it with the brake pedal” – that’s clear to me but I hope there is a paddle or switch to change the recuperation I might have a bigger circle of participants Maybe a clear answer crystallize out I would be happy about an answer and thank you in advance
