  • Common V6 problems?

    Hi everyone, Im looking into getting a 4Runner V6 soon and would like to know common problems with them, so I can either check if they have been done, or if they havn't been done, do them.

    Thanks guys.

    Giuseppe.

    The only real problem with the V6 petrol was that Toyota switched to non-asbestos head gaskets made of an inferior material. These started to go at around 60,000. Toyota did a recall and fitted better quality head gaskets.

    Other than that the V6 Petrol is great, quicker, quieter and powerful than the diesels ... only downside is they are thirsty @ around 17mpg and some parts are not as readily available as for the common diesel versions.
    Mine WAS a 150 bhp V6 and ran on PETROL

      My 3.4 V6 runs about 19-22mpg Certainly better than my old 2.0 Hilux Pickup...

          If you look at his vehicle details and his signature it says 96 as in 1996
