Compression test failed in cylinder 2 and 3.
Engine is apart now at Toyota. Not sure what the cause is but the issue is cylinder 3 is not sealing when it’s at the top of its motion and it’s leaking fluid is what I’m told.
Car has 131k miles on it and along with some other maintenance related things (timing chain:tensioner:guides) the car needs a new block I’m told.
Any chance I can get Toyota to fork up some of the bill? Am I SOL?
Looking like $6500 in repairs on a motor that runs and seemingly runs fine after idle. Able to drive it for seemingly years as I’ve been trying to track down my issue for these few years.
Any options? Suggestions?
Thanks!
