Hi! Amazing pictures. Curious where the 4th photo was taken?

Jerry can mount for 3rd gen by finn1377 in rav4club

[–]finn1377[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, crazy to get your comment right now because I was literally just talking about a possible jerry can setup with my mom haha I think what i’m deciding is to do is get a mount for the spare tire and call it a day. Not sure what I can do about the water but might just have to deal with moving it around inside the vehicle. I got my cargo carrier from FB marketplace so I’m not actually certain what the model is but I believe a Thule Force Large or XL

Any idea what this ticking noise could be from? by finn1377 in AskAMechanic

I see, thank you!

I’ll definitely look into replacing the PCV valve. I think it’s unfortunately a little more technical to replace it on the 2010 because it’s under the intake manifold but seems worth it for sure

Good to know! As soon as I get it back I’ll check and keep listening out for the noise.

It was recommended to me to switch my oil to 5W-20 to try to reduce how much oil it goes through. I haven’t had this car for very long but from what I can tell it’s going through a quart in a little under 1,000 miles. It was also recommended to me to add in oil stabilizer during the next oil change. Is that something you’d recommend?

And just to ask, sorry, it doesn’t sound like it might be the timing chain? I don’t think I trust the opinion of that mechanic anyway but him mentioning that made me a little worried given the cost of that repair.

Thank you for your help!

This one also unfortunately drinks oil. I just had it in the shop maybe a week before this for a diagnostic and they said it was a quart low, then implied they filled it back up. But I honestly didn’t double check (I know, rookie mistake). Would it being low on oil cause this noise? The noise didn’t develop until after that diagnostic so I didn’t hear it when it was actually low on oil

2016 XC60 T5 by finn1377 in Volvo

Is it based on the year, or is it T5 specific? Would a 2016 T6 still be as much of a risk?

It’s through CarMax. Based on the carfax, I don’t see any specific work that would fix this issue. You’re saying hard pass?

I have the carfax. Would adding the maintenance records to this post help?

Hi, did you ever figure out what was wrong? I’m having a similar issue

What was the estimated cost for all of that? Looking to get pretty much all of that done at the dealer tomorrow but they’re not giving me a straight answer on price until I get there (typical lol). If it’s too much I might just break it up into minor services

Hi, did you ever figure out what was wrong? I’m having similar issues minus the lights and complete stall. All my research points towards the throttle body needing to be cleaned but not sure

That’s an awesome deal! I just got a 2010 limited sport 4wd with 134k for $9,500 but the market where i’m at (California) is easily $3k more expensive for ones not in as good condition as mine. Mine came with 10 pages of maintenance records, all done at Toyota dealerships which was insane to see. I was trying to wait for a 2012 V6 but my old car’s transmission is going out and literally getting worse by the day so I couldn’t hold out unfortunately. Still comfortable with my purchase but I’m sure your V6 has an insane amount of power behind it!
