Not all 2.2 D4d engines are the same/ interchangeable.

[CHERRYVILLE]

Hi Guys, I  learned something  in reference to my recent experience  on  having  head  gasket  issue  on   my 2010 2.2  D4D  Rav 4 TR.

As reported in my earlier topic on the head gasket issue I discovered my original  2010 engine differed from the 2010 2.2 Rav 4 TR  replacement engine  which turned out to be not interchangable with mine.

The reason for this was my original does not have the 5th injector fitted ( as the Toyota mechanic explained to me). This was  something he never came across in his years with working for Mr T dealership garage. Neither had the breaker come across this issue before and they told me they had sold  hundreds of these engines with no such issue.

He actually had to check at work on their computer system when my engine type was introduced and for how long.

There was a short run ( without 5th  injector)  produce late 2009. My Rav was first reg'd   March 2010. They  even used the exact same engine code as stamped on the engines.

Mechanic told me the engines will physically fit but it was the engine electrical system  that was the problem which was not financially feasible to address.

Something to chat over a pint for all the wrench men (and ladies).

There are 2 basic 2.2 D4Ds - the 2AD-FHV with DPNR/DPF from it's introduction in 2005 & the 2AD - FTV (originally without 5th injector/DPNR/DPF). They also vary in power output, injectors etc.

Never owned a 2AD-FHV but had 2 FTVs in Avensis - over the years there were minor changes/improvements in components incl. injectors (even the common rail connectors changed) & of course DPFs became mandatory in Europe for new production by Autumn 2011 - the FTV gained a more "traditional" DPF than the FHV's DPNR.
