Answer from the Toyota (Carline)following a thorough reading of the ECU!!!! TOYOTA WARRANTY!!! (Participation) Concerns: Toyota Yaris GR - your request for participation in repair costs Following the engine failure of your Toyota Yaris GR, we took delivery of this vehicle, delivered by a repairer, on April 11, 2024. To follow up on your request, after observing the damage, we carried out a report which was sent to the Technical Service of Toyota Switzerland. A request for photos was made to us to analyze: 1. The general condition of the vehicle 2. The type and state of wear of the tires 3. Any modifications to the vehicle Furthermore, a thorough reading of the electronic unit allowed them to detect, among other things, the vehicle drifting at 173 km/h and the engine overheating to 120°C. It turns out that the damage observed is due to inappropriate use of the vehicle and not intended by the manufacturer. In view of the above, we hope you understand that Toyota cannot respond to your request. For your information, after a quick estimate of the damage, it turns out that the cost of repairs far exceeds the market value of your vehicle.

why you dont buy a POS over priced toyota. I am surprised they denied warranty as this is a performance car and is suppose to be beat on. American V8's always take the cake and when I say always I mean ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!! buy a 1LE camaro which is also track focused and that engine is bullerproof.

[@rotorblade9508]

normally what I've seen is that an engine can last around 12k Km (but can varry widely) in race conditions but it doesn't mean it blows up after that, probably because they take them apart after that interval. I think you need to write down all track hours to evaluate the wear and oil change intervals. or put a 20x multiplier for track laps. like 20 laps x 5km = 100km; equivalent to 20x 100= 2000km; 5 track days= 10.000 km; 12000km track sessions= 240.000km normal condition. Something like that but with real data like race cars rebuild intervals vs how many miles it last if not taken to the track.

Sad to say, but it is a pos engine..

[@footageaerial3447]

Must install oil coolers, it is very important when you tune the car When you reach 120+ degrees C, (it usually shows lower on the cluster than it shows higher on the logger) 90 degrees C is the best working oil temperature for a thick 10w60, if you use 0w20 maybe 80 degrees C is the best working temperature. Anything beyond the best working temperature exponentially deteriorates lubrication effect as the temperature climbs up. 120 may not be a bomb level temperature but it will at a high degree wear out your bearings and piston rings Tuned engines produce more combustion, and the internal parts and alloys expands ever so slightly more in intense usage like in race tracks. The more sensitive it becomes for lubrication. Use fluidampr pulley to reduce vibrations and you might as well rebuild with forged internals to avoid stock con rod bending over and eventually fracturing

[@nvl2691]

All modern BMW turbocharged engines run at 120C oil temp. Yet they don't seem to blow up, especially when tuned.

[@Elledollar]

@@nvl2691agree . Same for the VW turbocharged engine ( ea888 for example ) it runs stock at 110+ with no issues., It’s when you go beyond 130 that you should start to worry, but even in that case , the car should put itself into limp mode to avoid any damages

[@footageaerial3447]

Bmw has great oil cooling system. They don't run 120c unless tuned or in hot climates. With enough track miles like the yaris it the bearings will seize Street cars with shorter street pulls is not hard on the engine, only race track miles

[@footageaerial3447]

Ea888's work fine in cold weather, 110c is on the hotside which will still affect the lifespan of the engine for track miles. If you're doing street miles mostly cruising and short pulls, then it wouldn't create as much of an effect

[@footageaerial3447]

If you ran 120c in 10,000 race track miles it wouldn't last 120c cruising and a few shortpulls would still make the engine last long It would however Never run like 90c which is the best operating temperature viscosity wise

[@bubbleman2002]

Type Rs overheat their oil immediately on track stock. They're much worse than the GR Yaris or Corolla on a track. Watch Misha Charoudin's nurburgring lap with a type R, the oil temps get sky high, and if I recall correctly, the GoPro recording the gauge cluster quite inconveniently blocked his view of the oil temps. The official Honda lap record was cheated, as well, they modified gear ratios, and ran extra boost in 5th and 6th, as well as had completely different footwork on the car. Naturally, if it didn't overheat and they were running more boost with shorter gears, they likely also improved the cooling for the nurburgring lap car.

​​​@@njasickoI think that's the trouble sometimes when Toyota is partnering with the likes of Stellantis(Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, fiat, Chrysler etc.. in the van sector, And Subaru/BMW in their car sector. Subaru tend to be quite reliable being Japanese, but I guess no manufacturer is immune from bad eggs, even Toyota themselves, And BMW and Stellantis aren't exactly known for their reliability are they?

[@jimtekkit]

I can understand where Toyota is coming from. Best thing that any manufacturer can do is straight up deny any responsibility for racetrack incidents. It's just impossible to know for certain if it was driver negligence, or if the vehicle was maintained and track-prepped properly, or if it was adverse environmental conditions, or if it was an actual design fault.

[@Swiss4.2]

If a Toyota engine explodes: "you were stressing it too much!", "it was probably modified anyways", "any car can fail" If a German car has an engine failure: "Unreliable trash", "never buy German cars", etc.

[@robbieshaft]

Yep. Hear that all too often. Too many people have Toyota erections

[@jamesemcclure]

Vehicle drifting at 173 km/h probably resulted in oil starvation. Oil pickup tube had nothing to pickup due to G's at that speed. Overheating confirms this.

[@captninsno2320]

I don't know anything about this particular model. But I'll bet it's running the oem sump, which probably isn't baffled. I would say either oil or fuel surge due to corner g forces. This is why I installed a baffled sump and in tank surge tank in my Fd Rx7. You should know and monitor oil temp, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and water temp. This is extreme driving conditions the manufacturer was right to reject warranty. You can't pull massive lateral g forces repeatedly on any engine unless their oil and fuel supply maintains consistent pressure 👍

[@CyberSkunk90]

Companies put all these track features in a car and give it "track modes" but if you actually take them to a track they can't handle it and have issues lol. The Hyundai racing team took the Elantra N and put it in their racing league, but kept having abunch of overheating problems, ect ect... Companies make the car seem like it can handle the track and advertise them that way, but in reality, you're gonna end up killing your car. Honestly Porsche is the only track ready made car from the factory

@@CE-bb5rk yep got an oil cooler 😁 brakes go much quicker than oil temps in my experience. Rotor, pads and fluids is a must if you're pushing it hard. My OEM brake fluids boiled after 3 hot laps and my rotors started heat spotting and scoring after 2 track days.

I couldn't even get new exaust replaced on my Kia 10 or so uears ago, brand new car under 1 year and 20k km... not to mention Audi service with a blown V8 cause of the mechanics fault (he poored in the wrong engine oil imagine in official service under warranty).Toyota I witnessed was much better than others. True I didn't have issues but I witnessed they replaced some dudes 10 years old Corolla engine with close to 1mil km on it out of warranty just because he was a good customer and a taxi driver on top... Sure it was a cheap atmo engine but still. This here is completely different case if we're honest.

[@AthenaAutocross]

He's been driving this car for like 3 years on track heavily. And with additional tuning. Denied claim is the right decision on Toyotas part here.

[@hellomadetScuffed]

Let's start with the fact that the Yaris GR is in no way a car designed as a track car and is not marketed as such. Manufacturers refuse to honor warranties on cars that have been used on the track simply because it's a reasonable and logical approach, not because they hate enthusiasts. Do all the idiots criticizing Toyota for refusing to honor warranty realize that even cars designed and sold for racing, such as the $726,000 Aston Martin Vantage GT3, despite all the maintenance done on a race car, also break down when used on the track? Can you understand just how absurd and ridiculous such expectations of a manufacturer are? I am stunned and lack words for the unimaginable level of ignorance and total lack of understanding of the mechanics of how cars work that I have witnessed in the commets.

[@Paul922]

This would be a valid point if this car was literally not called the "Yaris GR", which means "Gazoo Racing"

@@ILoveTinfoilHats GR for Toyota is the same as M for BMW. The Hilux GR's suspension is sufficient for light off-road driving, to really go wild off-road you need a conversion costing around $38,000, and even after that the suspension can fail to handle the rough play. Even highly specialized parts are not indestructible.
