I have a question specifically about the 2.5l. Have owned the RAV for a couple months now and before we bought it the vehicle was thoroughly checked and was deemed good to go. All fluids were topped off. Recently though I noticed the coolant level in the reservoir dropped below the low line. I’ve gone through the most obvious stuff, no leaking, water pump seems to be working properly, no premature head gasket issue. Does anyone have some real experience with these motors? I know there was a time some vehicles with these motors had water pump issues but it seems to be a small number overall. Any ideas what’s going on?
Have you pressure test the cooling system?
@yaser I have not yet, but it seems that would be the next step. Luckily the level that it’s at currently hasn’t dropped since it went just below the low line.
If the coolant keeps going down it's only two things, leaking or burning.
