If you are going to bring down the tranny, might as well change the pressure plate and release bearing as well.

Dun sa timing belt, isabay mo na ang water pump and coolant flushing.

Anybody here who previously owned a 3 dr Rav4. How is the performance, fuel efficiency. A friend of mine is selling his Rav4 for 350K. the mileage is around 60,000+. Any feedback will be most appreciated.

We have 2 3-dr Ravs.

Performance: Torquey

Fuel Efficiency: 8km/liter

As long as the color is not white, green, or gray... get it! though siguraduhin mo na 60k nga ang mileage... Its already a 10-year old SUV so normal driving dictates dapat mga 100,000 km. na yan pwera na lang kung marami silang tsikot or for sunday driving lang Rav nila... ours is at least 120k na and madali paayos ang mga parts na usually for replacement na like timing belt, brakes, clutch, aircon.

Reliable? Definitely... one of those few Toyotas of the 90s wherein the folks at Toyota outdid themselves in terms of engineering quality.

Its actually green. why not any of the three colors that you mentioned sir. He has a couple of cars so i think the mileage is believable. Sana.......

sabi nga ni Jeremy sa Top Gear... Who buys a green car????

Sabi sa survey pinakamababang resale value ang green color.. at ang pinakamurang pintura is green... kaya nga honda mahilig sa green e... manufacture low sell high... tsk tsk

For a 60,000 mileage na rav at city driving pa, don't think twice kung magpapalit ka timing belt. If you want to enjoy its engine reliability, palitan mo na timing belt just in case makuha nio kahit 60k pa lang mileage. Actually a 60K mileage city drive is worst than a 120k mileage provincial or highway drive. The biggest issue na ma e-encounter mo dian sa second hand na rav na yan is fuel efficiency. Kaya pag nakuha mo, tune up mo agad, palinis mo na MAF Sensor kung meron sia, change oil, and palit ka fuel filter.

Mikmik, kumusta kung pure highway? Anong average km/liter ang kaya nung 3-dr sa experience ninyo?
