Hey guys. I wanted to get your oppinion on this.
The dealer is offering me a replacement short block with a 3 month 5000 km warranty... They are doing this, but they still haven't opened the engine to see the extent of the failure.
I was hoping to get a new engine, or pay the difference. But what I was hoping the most is at least a 1 year warranty for the replacement.
Toyota Corp isn't doing anything (The 3 months and 5k km warranty, and the block itself is from them.)
What do you guys think of this?
What are people getting with the new blocks?
did anyone got a full engine replacement? (new one, not used)
PS: forgot to mention, I still have the ECP (Extended care protection) until april 9th.

Update on 14-03-2019: Dealer said Toyota Corp asked them to remove the oil pan and take pictures of the oil, and the pickup screen. I asked to have the pictures, they said "yes, np" but didn't send them my way (that was yesterday).
Update on 15-03-2019: Dealer finally sent a picture of the oil pickup screen.
Update on 18-03-2019: Dealer is offering a replacement short block with a 3 month and 5000km warranty... They still haven't opened the engine to know the extent of the failure.
