I’m looking for the replacement foam bottom for the driver’s seat on my RAV. No luck so far, any ideas?

Does anybody know what year the Equinox stopped having engine problems with the 2.4l? (I know the 3.6 was a problem for many years)

Already been done.

We’ve only had it for a couple months, I’d say 1/2 quart in 1k miles.

I misspoke before when I said the initial code was 0420, it was in fact the 0010. The 0420 was the code stored today when the CEL came on.

Also seems to run the same with the new solenoids as it did before the initial breakdown.

Original code was P0010 when it quit.

I’m not picking up on any changes in drivability or engine performance.

Daughter had the car at school when it quit on her. Symptoms she described were consistent with those of a failed solenoid. Read the codes and the P0420 was indicated and I replaced them both in her apartment parking lot while I was in there.

No

Ended up going with Quaker State 5w-30 HMFS for our 5 vehicle fleet. Thanks again for the feedback.

I did also run a Liqui Moly engine flush and oil change after the solenoid replacements if that’s a point of information.

Just replaced the intake and exhaust VVT solenoids a few days ago and have driven a couple hundred miles since then. Today while driving the CEL illuminated. Was near an Oreilly’s and stopped in to have the code read. Got the P0420 cat related code. Could that have any correlation with the...

Thanks for the responses. The vehicles in question are a ‘14 Equinox and a ‘14 CR-V. My daughters are going to school in Duluth and won’t have access to electrical outlets for aux heaters. Just looking for something that would cover both vehicles especially LSPI and DI in the Equinox - thus the...

I think that’s going to be it, thanks.
