Disadvantages of the Toyota F33A-FTV engine
- On early engines the injector that supplies fuel for particulate filter regeneration coked and failed quickly; dealers repaired this under warranty;
- With strictly scheduled maintenance and an active EGR valve the oil gets dirty quickly, and the intake becomes covered with soot, which threatens the turbochargers;
- Dirty oil leads to fast wear of the rocker arms and cam lobes after 100,000 km;
- Frequent high-speed driving can cause some oil consumption; several cases of cracked blocks have been described, and Euro 6 versions have a short-lived AdBlue system.
