Listed from most frequently reported, each with its source.
Coolant loss is reported in the 2.2 D4D engine; this may indicate a failed gasket or cylinder head/engine block issues.
Engine Internal
In XA30-era 2.2 D4D engines, soot and carbon deposits frequently build up in the EGR valve and recirculation pipes; this causes idle fluctuation, power loss at low revs, and the check engine light to come on.
Exhaust Emissions
Injector or seal issues can occur in the common rail system of the 2.2 D4D; they may cause smoke, diesel smell, uneven injection, and power loss. Seal or injector failures can also affect turbo lubrication or lead to other component failures.
Fuel System
In diesel manual transmission models, including the RAV4 with 2.2 D4D, dual mass flywheel wear is reported; it causes vibrations and torsional noises, requiring replacement of the flywheel and clutch.
Transmission
Wear or failure cases are reported in the turbocharger, especially in the variable geometry (VGT) part. Soot buildup and lubrication issues can block the variable geometry, causing power loss, turbo lag, whistling, or abnormal noises.
