Bookmark or Share- Used Rav4 V4 vs V6 - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk CommunityThe V6 only gets about 1 MPG less than the I4, yet brings another 90 HP to the table, a significant improvement for an relatively insignificant increase in fuel consumption. To me the V6 is worth it. But if you’ve always driven 4 cylinders then I suspect the I4 will be meet your expectations.
- Nisson Pathfinder timing belt or chain in 2001 v6I just took my Pathfinder in for a “100,000 mi.” checkup and the service writer (at a what I now think was a ‘fake dealership’) told me that the '01 is the “older style” and has a timing chain (not a belt) and that “it will last forever, unlike the belt” so… does the '01 have a chain and what’s the expected life and if it goes will it “dump the valves” into the pistons ...

- 94 Ford Ranger, died while driving; no spark - Car Talk CommunityThe engine, V6 3.0, died while driving. The rotor button and dist. cap was not replaced. The distributor, coil, and ICM only. It was brought to top dead center on #1 by tracing plug wire #1 of firing order. Wires were not replaced as not getting spark at coil. Too, replaced EEC relay. Thank you for your time. We are truly stumped with this.
- Timing belt or chain on Buick V6? - Car Talk CommunityIt only affected later 90’s GM V6’s, so depending on what you’re looking at it might not be an issue, or it might have already been fixed. Or the other solution to it was just to flush out the dex-cool (which is pinkish-orange) and refill with the green stuff.
