What is the 2GR-FE engine?

The 2GR-FE is a 3.5 litre (3,456 cc) 60-degree V6 petrol engine with an aluminium block. It has double overhead camshafts on each bank, four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing on both camshafts (Dual VVT-i) and port fuel injection. Timing chains drive the camshafts.

Which vehicles use the 2GR-FE?

Our listing names the Toyota Aurion (GSV40 and GSV50, 2006 to 2017), Kluger (GSU40/45 and GSU50/55, 2007 to 2017) and Tarago (GSR50/55, 2006 to 2019). Independent references also list the RAV4 V6 (GSA33, about 2007 to 2012) and the Lexus RX 350 and ES 350.

Model names and years overlap. So we check the fit from your VIN, series and current engine before we quote. See will this engine fit my vehicle.

What problems are reported with the 2GR-FE?

These problems are reported in the sources listed below. Not every engine gets them. A symptom is not a diagnosis.

• VVT-i oil hose. On earlier engines a rubber section of the oil feed hose to the variable valve timing can perish and leak oil. Toyota in the US replaced it under a service campaign; an Australian reference says Aurions built before about mid-2009 used the same hose.
• Oil sludge from stretched services. Oil can thicken if services are stretched, which can starve the engine. On-time oil changes matter on this engine.
• Kluger fuel pipe recall. About 650 XU50 Klugers built in May and June 2014 were recalled for a fuel delivery pipe that could leak. That was a recall on the fuel pipe, not the engine itself.

What are the signs a 2GR-FE may need replacing?

Oil at the back of the engine, an unusual engine noise or the oil pressure light coming on can point to the VVT-i oil hose. A fuel smell on an affected Kluger needs a dealer check straight away. Low oil pressure or a new knock means stop driving.

Should you repair, rebuild or replace a 2GR-FE?

A leaking oil hose caught early is a cheap repair. An engine that ran low on oil pressure because of a burst hose or sludge may have bearing damage, which is when a rebuild or replacement comes in.

Our options, in short:

• Repair it, if the fault is in a part bolted to the engine, not the engine itself.
• Rebuild your own 2GR-FE, if it is serviceable. We strip it, inspect it and give you a fixed quote. If not, there is a teardown fee for the labour.
• Replace it with a new long motor from our range below, from $5,850.
