I would go through your dealer and ask for goodwill warranty coverage first. While it’s a very small percentage that are failing there are enough that Toyota knows there’s at least a small issue going on. There’s also the fact that BMW subsequently replaced the plastic piece with metal which...
Hey all.
unfortunately my problem with the oilpump just started, I’m 1.5 months out of the 5 year 60k mile warranty. FML
My car has barely 20k miles.
It’s not gonna be cheap I know. Does anyone know a place in the Bay Area that is not a dealer that can replace the pump?
The dealer is gonna be...
This is more or less what I did, as I was NOT willing to make multiple visits for their techs to "diagnose and try things" before they finally offer to replace the pump itself.
I paid high at around 1800, but quite frankly it was a fantastic shop and every other shop in a 20 mile radius either...
...tests they performed on my car, they went as far as to lie about the data that they claimed to have found. They also insisted it wasn't an oilpump issue, but a software issue. I just think they didn't want to work on my car. I have left a Google review for that dealership here. I've also...
When the time comes to get my oilpump replaced, I'm taking it to an independent BMW shop.
Although, 1400 with tax isn't bad at all to replace with parts/labor.
Take it to another dealership and try again, don't mention you visited another dealer prior. I got my Oilpump replaced under powertrain no questions asked. They saw the oil pressure was inconsistent and authorized replacement. ( I have a thread posted about my process and experience) Took me...
I have a 2021 and am having the issue with oil level not measuring, which everyone says is likely a failing fuel pump in the forums. Toyota says they’ll only replace fuel pump under warranty after trying to replace oil pressure control valve first, but that’s no longer under warranty. Anybody...
I guess that's hard to say but it isn't a totally comfortable situation. Apart from the extra power to drive the pump there could also be issues with the pumps drive longevity. Things aren't necessarily designed to work at maximum output permanently.
I think if I had an affected car and not...
So how long can we technically "live with" the default high pressure scenario before it becomes detrimental to the engine? Until the CEL comes on?
Not being able to measure the oil is annoying but not scary since I haven't burned or lost any oil in my 5 years of ownership and do religious oil...
Nice tack to take. I used that when I uploaded a failure video to the complaint site. Told them I paid $94 for diagnostics and the failure mode was not fixed. Let’s see. Thanks for the pro tip!
Then tell them to fix the issue of it not reading oil level. If he won’t jump to replacing oilpump. He can’t just ignore the oil level reading not functioning. Take it to another dealer lol. Shit tech right there. even tho the other Supra tech at the other dealers may be the same
Interesting. I’ve tried mine from cold start after short drives. Doesn’t matter - at least for me. But I’ll try that. Thanks!
yea, it’s going back tomorrow. We’ll see what they say
for me it was an "1C0101 engine oil pressure regulation" code for a long time, then simply "1C2001 oilpump" when the CEL came on. 2021, 35K miles.
failing to read is almost always an indicator that your pump is in the early stages of failure. Could go a year like mine did before actually...
I wouldn't be relying on that assumption for the the continued viability of the engine. A check of the engine oil pressure scheduling would be a wise precaution.

...cold start and idle for 5-10 minutes and as SOON AS the "measure oil level" was selectable, I measured oil. It works for me, I dunno why, but if I drive anywhere longer than 10 minutes it doesn't allow me to measure oil. Weird, but I think potentially a software bug rather than a failing oil...
