Asked by Robert Briigmann
Recently the VVTi control hubs in the top of the engine in my 2007 Toyota Aurion failed. The repair cost was approx $3000. The dealership was very helpful and negotiated with Toyota to assist with the repair costs. My contribution to the repair was about $900 , as the car was out of warranty, even though it had only done 75,000 km. I feel that the failure of the parts was because of a manufacturing fault and sent a letter to Toyota Australia seeking a refund of my costs, but Toyota has refused my request. Do you know of this failure occurring with the 3.5-litre engine, and in your opinion is this outcome the best I can hope for?

5 Jul 2012We haven't had any other reports of a failure of the VVTi hubs, but perhaps other readers might tell us of any failures they've had. The outcome you've managed to achieve is a reasonable one.
