Disadvantages of the 7GR-FKS engine
- In specialized forums, they often complain only about leaks, and especially on the timing cover;
- Sometimes the engine speed floats here due to the canister purge vacuum valve wedge;
- Weaknesses also include a short-lived water pump and ignition coils;
- All engines from the GR family came under recall for replacing the fuel pump in the tank.
