Hello, I would need your help in terms of rims, tyres and RDKS. This is a Toyota RAV4 4WD 2.2 D-4D, BJ2013, XA3(a). I have read a lot about it in the last few days but I’m still unreliable. Partly because many posts refer to older RAVs and I don’t know how this is transferable to my RAV, partly because some posts are also contradictory. Specifically, I have the following questions: 1. May I legally consider the RDKS Would this deactivate somehow on other systems, such as ABS or ESP? I have a friend with a BMW X3 who told me that because of a wheel with too low tyre pressure, the ABS has adjusted to it and the car has spun completely (back-like driving behaviour etc.) 3. May I use only certain tyres or wheels in my car, because for example such systems as RDKS 4. At the moment I have original Toyota Summer Wheels (Alu) with direct RDKS. What do I have to consider if I change the position of the wheels (by rotation principle)? Do I then have to re-initialize the individual RDKS sensors? 5. Can I clone my current RDKS sensors from the summer wheels to new sensors from Alligator and build them into new winter bikes? Which workshops/workshop chains do something like this? 6. How do I work? Do I mme to the information about the suitable rim (e.g. ET or LK)? Thank you and greetings, Mark

Hello to each other! Have been having a problem for 3 months with the electric rear flap opening of my rav4 year 2014. During the opening process the rear flap simply stopped. Since then the opening confirmation gives only a continuous tone from the after 10 seconds again silent, whether I open with the remote control or from the vehicle. Opening mechanism of the door lock works even only when directly opening the rear flap. I’ve already looked up the fuses and tracked the complete electronics where the error might lie. Repair by the dealer should cost up to 3000 euros. Has of you perhaps an idea where the error could lie. Thanks in advance for answers.

What am I doing wrong or doesn’t my Rav4 have this function? I wanted to lock the doors with the FB and at the same time let the window go up. In the description, press the button for longer. Unfortunately, there is no reaction. Who has experience and can help me further?

My Rav4 Dact with 177ps bought about 1 year ago was changed by me an original Toyota oil with 5w30 ACEA: A1/B1, A5/B5! Meanwhile I got with this engine only a C2 or C3 oil should use because of the DPF! I drove with the ACEA: A1/B1, A5/B5 Original Toyota oil already 13000km without any problems ! What should I take for an ash-poor oil? Liqui Moly Top Tec 4300 Or to a 0W 30 or 40 change this but a C3?!?Then change every 2 years? Many questions but I would like to ask for answers

Hello Have changed my rear differential gear oil and noticed that the differential on the cardan shaft was damp but dried up! Clean this off and change the oil! Now after 2 weeks I discovered 5-8 drops on the garage floor and looked under the car and it comes out easily below the cardan shaft! I mean that the Simmerring or shaft seal ring of the differential is old porous! How can one change such a removal part number ect.????!!! For pictures and part number I would be s Thank you very much

Servus, today I got new Goodyear efficient grip 215/70 16 (2.2 D-cat 177PS). The dealer inflated the tire to 2.6bar. According to the user manual, 2.2bar is recommended. Supposedly Goodyear recommends 2.6bar for this tire. What do you think about it?

Hello friends of the 1st generation! My 97er Rav4 jerks briefly during load change, especially when it is cold quite strong, but even if it is warm, so when taking gas away from constant speed, and when giving gas out of the sliding operation. Does anyone have any idea what that can be? throttle valve, false air, vacuum hose leaks? I really have no idea of old petrol engines… Besides, it turns the first minutes at cold start with 2000 revolutions! When the engine gets warm, go At some point it slowly descends to 800. Can it lie on the temperature sensor? Sit the right side of the tower? The left side of the two grey parts? Or the right side? Thank you and lb. Greetings, Stefan

Moin moin, dear Foris ! I’m new here and have a few questions. I took over the car mentioned in the headline in May 2013. Before I drove a Passat Kombi and the change to the RAV was a great experience. What does RAV actually stand for ? Road Adventure Vehicle ? Does the car belong to the category SUV or not ? I have now “cracked” the 100T km and now my car wants a new two-mass swing wheel. Is this only possible in the workshop, or does the Possibility that a professional, if I get the necessary parts, can get this repair alone ? I know the complete machine must go out and it will cost about 2000 €. I am looking forward to your answers . Greetings, Karin

I sent my first letter to their Mr. Bank on 20.05.13. On 13.06.13 I asked Mr. Ulrich Selzer to help me. On 27.06.13 came the negative answer of Mr. Wette and Mr. Hellenthal.On 05.07.13 I received the e-mail from Mr. Hellenthal that no future cover letter v The support for my request by Toyota, has not been part of me to this day. It is even worse, as any communication has been denied by Toyota for weeks. For this reason, I ask you to help me. My goal was, and remains, that Toyota is based on the corrective measures and the findings thus made from the flawed ECU, the technical facts to assess the overloading of the automatic Gearbox in my RAV4. A summary of the most important facts I send to you in the plant for information (VNR:2013-05-21.0000310003), and remain
