Known issues

Owners should be aware of potential issues such as premature wear of front suspension lower ball joints, which can become evident from around 120,000km. Electronic sliding door mechanisms can also fail. Oil sludge build-up in VVTi engines is a risk if oil changes are neglected; regular servicing is crucial. Replacing the wheel bearing grease at the front is also a standard maintenance task.

WOF tips

During WOF inspections, pay attention to excessive play in steering components, corrosion around rear suspension mounts, and oil leaks from the valve cover gasket.

About the Toyota Noah 1AZ-FSE MPV 112kW (2001-2007) FWD Petrol 2.0L

Maintaining your Toyota Noah or Voxy involves several key areas. Regularly inspect and replace the engine's thermostat housing to prevent overheating. Ensure the wheel nuts are properly torqued for safety. The CV joint is prone to wear, so listen for clicking sounds during turns. The timing chain should be checked and potentially replaced at higher mileage to avoid costly engine damage. The alternator's voltage output should be checked periodically to ensure proper charging of the battery. Inspect the sway bar coupling mount — worn ones lead to poor handling. The air mass meter requires monitoring for correct air/fuel mixture. Be aware that cylinder head gasket leaks may occur over time. For ride quality, shocks and struts at the rear need assessment for wear. Timing kit maintenance prevents timing chain issues. An oxygen sensor that's working correctly optimizes fuel consumption. Keep the wheel bearing grease in good condition at the front for smooth wheel rotation. Inspect for wear at the steering gear mount, and replace the radiator hose upper before it fails and causes overheating. Address issues with the knock sensor to maintain correct ignition timing.
