New Toyota Supra Technical review and common problems

A Toyota Master diagnostic technician and Supra Specialists New Toyota Supra Technical review and common problems.
In this video I go over a technical review of the new controversial GR Supra. Is it a BMW? Is it a Toyota? What is what?
Well I work on these cars exclusively at the Toyota dealership that I work on full time and this is my take on the cool technical features the engine, Transmission and Differential have.
I will also share some insider items on the supra for owners like how DIY friendly is the new supra and some information on the Toyota ISTA software which is the official scanner for the new Toyota supra.
I will cover some of the common problems I see with the Supra like the dying battery and the replace battery message. Also the leaking transmissions and the newest trending issue with oil burning on the new Toyota supra B58 Engine.
At the very end of the video I will share some information on how much of this car is actually Toyota. If you find more parts that say the words Toyota on the car please leave a common with the part so I can add it to my list. Thank you!!

Excellent surprise video on the Supra.

[@kingofspades5098]

You’re gonna love doing injectors, intakes, and tank vent valves! At the end of my shift I’ll update this again on everything I’ve seen from the B58 setup. Also are you in IL? Update, so the B58 overall is one of our most leak proof engines when talking about oil. The only oil leak that I have ever done was the oil pan gasket, but they’re pretty rare, and the sealant is so strong it feels like the oil pan is nearly welded to the block. For check engine lights, if the car is equipped with active radiator flaps that’s what is the most common 9 times out of 10 (needing new software, or parts replacement). Another very common issue for the check engine light is the fuel tank vent valve being stuck open causing mixture faults. For the AC, on most New BMWs that “condenser” can cause a lot of concerns for AC not blowing cold. More often than not the issue is because the Low temp coolant circuit is low and needs to be topped off. Recently we have seen a 1 off car where the AC heat exchanger was leaking refrigerant into the coolant circuit which was neat. The intake manifold in rare cases can leak coolant into the combustion chamber, and if the leak is massive can cause hydrolock (never seen that, but possible). This is more common with the S55 where the intercooler is not internal to the manifold though. Overall though the only issues that really happens again is either radiator flaps, or a tank vent valve. The B58 is pretty bullet proof. Supposedly it’s a modified Diesel engine in Europe. The only things changed was the compression ratio, and spark plug holes that I know of. Love the videos!

[@AnonAnon-qi4ts]

Cool! Thank you.

[@alperalp7407]

Are you a BMW mechanic? I am considering buying a Supra and drive it until combustion engines are banned in UK. So, would you say that B58, when I drive with care is a good choice in terms of longevity? Is there any video or articles that you can recommend about what to do and what not do driving a B58 engine.

[@malteserwfj]

It's most definitely not a modified EU diesel 🤣

[@bassplayer2011ify]

"The intake manifold in rare cases can leak coolant into the combustion chamber, and if the leak is massive can cause hydrolock (never seen that, but possible)." Nope, don't care how rare or remote the possibility. Any history of coolant leaks is a hard pass. Doubly so if the engine in question is over engineered.

[@jpdw7543]

Thanks for the instructive video. I drive almost 38 years BMW's and like to inform two things: 1. If you replace the battery, always connect a backup battery or battery charger to the circuit before disconecting until replacement is complete. Otherwise you have a big chance that you need to reprogramming the complete Ecu.(€!) 2. BMW always says the ZF automatic transmission has a lifetime oil and don't need any maintenance. Even most BMW garages don't have the knowledge how to flush it. The ZF factory in Germany recommend a flush + filter replacement every 80-100K km (this is officially published). I always do it by a official ZF cervice center (price all incl. 980€) This different mind-set I never understand from BMW!

[@alperalp7407]

Well said about oil change. For some people life of a car can be 20, 40K miles but for me, I would like to drive the car as much as I can (As I can't afford a Supra every second year :) Hence, I believe that sales trick "sealed for life" is a bit misleading. Not all of us wants to change their car after 60K miles.

Just sold my '16 340i (B58), I didn't have any problem with low oil level, but I had low coolant level once and I had to add coolant to it from time to time. When it comes to transmission fluid I would change it every 50k or so you can get the whole transition kit from fco euro or esc tuning websites. When it comes to new battery I used a bimmerlink app with a OBDII reader to program it.

[@TonyStark-ik9em]

Coming from an E86 Z4 Coupe this finally is a worthy successor. I'd even think long and hard about getting it with the ZF automatic. If anybody is on the fence - go check out the current M3/4/5 and see that it is just the best automatic ever. I stumbled over this channel by accident - boy are you good! A very different and fresh view on a car! The reason for the deal is kind of interesting - these kinds of cars, Coupe even more than the convertible, are really not big sellers. BMW didn't really want to do a new Z4 and Toyota didn't really want to build a new Supra. Who came forward and initiated the talks i don't know, but BMW in the end said "Well, we'll completely build your Supra onto our Z4 base IF we get a good look at the Mirai internals because our Hydrogen7 project stalled so badly". Here we are - Toyota got a really nice Supra without the horrible development costs and BMW gets its first full Hydrogen car (iX5) with the Mirai tech.

Heard 2021 GR Supra has engine boar scoring issues probably this that has most oil issues you mentioned too. Regards oil level when I get one in future every month check it? The sub in back says Toyota and cup holder plastic panel too I believe. See Jackie Ding GR Supra weight stripping video.

[@TheCarCareNut]

FRS similar video is on the list and will come in the future. The issue that’s causing the scoring on the cylinder is still unknown as to why it’s happening.

[@nikn8tr]

I’m a semi truck repair tech and the amount of similar technology between this engine and the trucks I work on every day is insane. I love high pressure common rail design of the injector, incredibly efficient and should be used on all cars eventually. Air to water cooler is the same as a EGR cooler which don’t leak as often as you may think, when they do they very rarely lock up an engine or dump excess coolant in intake circuit. Very very interesting, bmw is onto something here with this engine specifically.

[@nikn8tr]

The only downfall I have seem to come across is most normal or average people will not be able to EFFECTIVELY service or do repairs on this vehicle. But at the same time the price of the vechicle seems that most people would not do there own maintenance or repairs, especially when you compare to C8 vette which was supposed to be (back in 2020 and 2019) the biggest competitor.

I'm curious why in that case engine is not stopped. Could you please provide information? Thank you.

Hi! It could be 2 cases. It would either have the engine running to warm it up or have it charging the battery. Try turning off the climate control and see if it shuts off

[@p6102zrfxe]

@@TheCarCareNut no it is not related to battery level or engine temperature when speed is 110km/h+. For example I'm going downhill engine temperature is 92*C, battery is 55%(but real, not one from car diagram), and battery temperature is 35*C, engine RPM will not drop below 1000 until speed drop below 110km/h, while car is moved only by MG2. Below 110km/h engine will be shut off. I know that is max speed of MG2 and MG1 17000RPM. On 110km/h will not overrev because they rotate around 11k. It is strange to me.

[@alperalp7407]

Well, sealed for life is one of the least descriptive things I have heard. When it is said life, I'd expect manufacturers to say what do they mean by "life." Is it 60K miles? or is it 10 years? I have heard same for DSG, and a DSG mechanic approves this. And he also adds, "still, change the oil after 60K miles or 6 years, so you can extend lifespan of your gearbox." As he works in Istanbul where city traffic is heavy, a lot of people are having fatal error in their DSG's around 80K miles, which could be avoided by gearbox servicing. I would really wish that manufacturers would give some intervals for people who wants to drive their car for many long miles.

[@CorollaChronicles]

Liked and subscribed! 🎉 I totally and completely understand why Toyota chose this route for the Supra. It really is a niche market, probably taking up less than 2% of Toyota's annual income. Toyota was able to make the Yaris GR by themselves, because to other regions, it was just another version of the plain old Yaris, albeit a very punchy one. The US-market Yaris is actually just a rebadged Mazda 2. If Toyota wanted the US to have the Yaris GR, then they would have to sever their partnership with Mazda, which they won't. There are also rumors of Toyota and Mazda co-developing an RWD inline 6 platform, which I could definitely see the A100 Supra riding on. Toyota's strategy is that if the car they want to make doesn't fit into their existing TGNA platforms, then they will seek partnership with another brand. And it's a very smart one too. I'm pretty sure this plan is working out well. I mean, just look at the new Corolla, Camry, Sienna, and a whole bunch of other Toyota vehicles! They are still solid and durable vehicles, with that signature Toyota reliability baked into them. Some of them are even luxurious!

[@rightlanehog3151]

FYI, The Mazda Yaris is no longer sold. Toyota simply made a massive PR blunder when they insulted their most profitable market with their refusal to offer us the GR Yaris. It is the best affordable performance car they have made in a generation. As Toyota's best customers, we should be first in line to get them not left behind casting envious glances towards secondary markets like Europe and Australia. Honda, Hyundai and VW can all make a business case to offer their best hot hatches in North America, why shouldn't Toyota?

Great video as usual. Regarding the lack of a dipstick, my 2005 BMW E46 M3 had one. My 2006 Mercedes W220 S65 AMG did not. It took me a long time to get used to that, and quite frankly, prefer a dipstick over a computerized sensor that can fail. One can only hope that Toyota will actually design, develop, then build a JDM Supra again. In the meantime, the new BMW Supra looks great aesthetically, but a nightmare for us backyard mechanics.

[@markreynolds3850]

I am not a big of this vehicle,, I think Toyota should make their own designs. Toyota are great on their own ,,I am a life long toyota fan. On Japanese heritage models. My feelings only. Great job explaining things. Thanks for sharing this video.

Loved the video. I was considering a 2021 Supra but after seeing this video I'm backing off. I've been driving Mustang GT's and Challenger T/A 392 for the past 15 years and was looking for something different. What's your opinion of the Camry TRD? THANK YOU!!!

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! The Camry TRD is basically a standard Camry V6 with upgraded springs and exhaust. Also has different wheels and exterior and minor interior change

[@trophyhunterssupplyllc7163]

I came from a TA392 to the 2022 Supra, absolutely love the supra! The car hooks up better making it quicker, handles alot better, and people all adore this car wherever i take it!

[@crushsc3003]

It may have problems like a BMW, but trust me, it drives like a super car.😎👍I love my 2021 bought it used with 6k miles.

[@davepaturno4290]

​@@crushsc3003Check out a used NSX - much faster than the Supra. They are all Honda and are very reliable. Although that cost........

[@liberalelitist2324]

Can you do a 2021 Supra 3.0 update? I heard there are oil consumption issues.

[@robbieturk1835]

Thanks for talking me out of buying a Supra.

[@Eben-Victorious]

Thank you brother in Christ for sharing

[@AngryAnon]

I hope now that the manual comes out that half those issues you mention are irrelevant. Any chance you’ll do an update when you get your hands on one for service?

[@bloodyharprecords4910]

Aside from those 3-4 inconveniences this car is a 10/10 amazing experience. Dont cheap out and get your warranties especially since it’s a bmw. Baby it but also let it rip whenever you want(after oil is at proper temp) with confidence (bc you baby it). I love mine, I just picked it up 3 days ago with 3 miles on it. 3.0 premium. If you can, pick the cooled seats in Alcantara. Get all the features if possible because it really gives you more than a sports car feel. The simple luxury details really make for a super cozy experience. A lot to learn especially since it is bmw world if you’re not used to it but as you can see, a lot of this stuff is better handled with the dealership so let them do their thing.

I was thinking of selling my SS 1LE for the MT Supra that is releasing soon. The LT1 is very DYI friendly, might just keep her!

[@akquicksilver]

Great video. I love the looks of the new Supra, but I don't care for the "Axis" colaboration on the build of this car. Question for you, if you have the time. I just filled up my two week old 2021 RAV4 XLE Premium and there was a stong odor of gas in the cab. I did not over fill, shut off at the first click on the pump hose. This is the third time I filled it and never noticed any gas smell before. Any educated guesses?

[@TheCarCareNut]

Interesting. Drive it a few hundred miles and fill it again if it does the same take it to the dealership as there might be an issue with the vent

[@akquicksilver]

Thank yo and GOD bless you sir!

[@shinymike4301]

OMG You can't say "Axis" these days, "they" will call U RAYYYCIST !!! LOL !!

[@andrecampbell691]

Thanks for your honesty, but I think I'll buy a mustang GT.

[@AbraCadabra619]

Thank you for talking me out of the zupra, I want a car that doesn't spend most of its time at the dealership.

[@rchen404]

There are after market scanner tools you can use to reset battery. It was cheaper buying this than having dealer install battery

[@Tonga2]

Love the New GR86/BRZ twins much more !

[@mckoylach1622]

Hello, I have a question regarding to a highlander EPS system. What would happen, if the electric power steering suddenly stopped working,during driving? Would you be able to steer the car or it’s going to lock up? My 2012 highlander is equipped with this system. I prefer a hydraulic one.. because it feels firmer versus the eps,it’s too soft..

[@mckoylach1622]

Toyota didn't want to redesign a I6 for a car in this relatively low sales segment when BMW has been making an I6 for many years now...

[@borla4491]

Toyota couldn't make a new Inline 6 from 0. And if they built the Supra all by themselves, it would had a higher sale price .

[@D4LM4R]

Then why bother? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mayuravirus6134]

Mazda is making an inline 6 and Mazda is smaller THAN TOYOTA

Crawling under a car to get it out of park is a good way to have a car run you over.

[@bobbyc1849]

Lot of Mk4 Supra were stolen by tow truck drivers. So now you cannot tow this car without starting the engine. Hope this is the reason.

@@TheCarCareNut Is it passible to drive the supra only in summer, without these Batterie issues? Do the 2.0 Supra has the same Issue with the Batterie? There must be a solution for the customer without calling service every time 🙂

You can get a scan tool that’s capable of programming the battery or use a battery maintainer over the winter months

At least ISTA doesn't run on Windows 95 lol. Also the 'transmission sealed for life' thing is a joke when ZF recommends a service every 50k miles

[@AkagiRedSun]

Service is not a fluid flush.. we can run DIS and it shows all the diagnostic about the transmission. I’ve seen more problem on older ZF that we had to do the flushes.
