You Won't Believe How I Brought This 2001 RAV4 Back to Life!

[@Dricky.]

I'm so glad I found such a cool, proper car channel. Idk how I've never found this in the past !

[@seanlovi8798]

The car is worth the expenses. Am excited you getting diverse in your cars content, can't wait for your opinion on Mitsubishi Pajero.

[@MasaiGainz]

Cheers!

[@reubenkamau7070]

Dont try the Mitsubishi Pajero IO.

[@victorooko4738]

​@@reubenkamau7070bro what's wrong with io?

[@fossilfish786]

Binged watched the whole Rav4 series. One thing i would love is that wing mirror on the front fender/wing for parking. Wish i can find one in the UK. Amazing content and another new subscriber 😊

[@MasaiGainz]

@@fossilfish786 cheers & thanks for tuning in mate

[@mohajj254]

Nice 💯🔥Looking forward to seeing it with the new headlights.

[@omarshariff1199]

This is the content we subscribed to

[@luigiscuisine7006]

I have a 2005 Rav 4 L, Bro loving the content, just did my headlights and they improved the clean look for sure. I need a new rack too! 😢

[@MasaiGainz]

That’s awesome! I guess you can put a stop leak fluid inside and prolong the rack fix abit longer like me!

[@bensonn.2626]

This is a brilliant video! Very detailed! Great job

[@MasaiGainz]

Thanks allot!

[@AlexMuturi]

Love what you have done on the RAV 4, those wheels give it that aggressive and lovely stance... love it already, on the flip side, I have 1997 AE110 1500cc, I would love to restore it to factory state or somewhat close to that... I would certainly appreciate some help...

[@MasaiGainz]

Asante sana! Previous Rav generation also great! Not very acquainted with it though Always start with basics , mechanicals . Then move to body paint etc Always begin with simple works like fluids, PCV valves, filters, o2 sensors , battery, alternator, starter. Good luck!

[@mainanjuguna5958]

The details are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@MasaiGainz]

@@mainanjuguna5958 Asante!

[@isabellawangari4699]

i'm in love with this kind of content!

[@MrKevo-mb1ke]

Loving the content bro, would like to see you do such a series but with a jeep wrangler maybe ?

[@MasaiGainz]

Thanks! Ha, maybe another vehicle but very unlikely to be a Jeep. I’m not a Jeep guy hehe

[@antonydbliss7038]

Great work

[@MasaiGainz]

Asante & thanks for tuning in!

[@tomopulin1512]

I need of the guy who did your ECU refurbish. Have an issue with a similar model

[@MasaiGainz]

I used CarKey masters near Sarit roundabout .

[@tomopulin1512]

@MasaiGainz Awesome. Thanks sana

[@salimmachila5736]

Great content pajii 😊

[@berbeturepeter3642]

Good video, i have a 96 legacy, it misbehaves while shifting, could the ECU be the issue as in the case of your Rav 4?

[@MasaiGainz]

@@berbeturepeter3642 unlikely as the Rav issue is a known issues with the ecu and the ecu controls the trans shifts . For the Subaru , I doubt it’s the same set up but no harm in checking your ECU out

[@ekakumba]

I wish you always convert the costs in dollars because some of us from different countries can not easily apprehend

[@ericsart8]

Divide the amount mention by about 130 to convert to USD

[@MasaiGainz]

Will mention dollar amounts more often . Currency is always fluctuating so will mention based on timing of the video and current rate

[@ekakumba]

@@MasaiGainz Thanks you sir

[@cyrusnjuguna711]

What product did you use to deal with steering wheel fluid leak coz am having a similar issue

[@MasaiGainz]

@@cyrusnjuguna711 i used power steering sealer by MAG.

[@cyrusnjuguna711]

Thanks

[@nandi_david]

Were you able to change oil seals, camshaft and crank shaft and also the engine and gear box seal. Those harden overtime and oil starts leaking

[@MasaiGainz]

@@nandi_david not gone that deep as no signs of issue. And I’m using quality oil. But will look into those at some point !

[@alvindtb]

What kind of viscosity do you use and the oil company (shell,total,castrol)???

[@HAMZAABDUL-j4r]

Awesome content

[@hawii16]

do you think purchasing a mitsubishi lancer 2007 station wagon is a good idea for a first car owner

[@benjamin3455]

Awesome Content ,... Which Engine is it using is it the 2AZ.. is it having the same engine as the mark x or toyota harrier

[@MasaiGainz]

@@benjamin3455 it’s got 1AZFE , 2AZ started from 06 I believe

[@KimuyuNMwake]

Awesome content. Where does one repair the ECU please? I've seen the cost is 7000.

[@MasaiGainz]

I used CarKey masters near Sarit roundabout .

[@Gled_Vlogs]

Very nice!

[@reubenkamau7070]

I was crying about fuel efficiency of my 2007 Suzuki Escudo city consumption 8km/l

[@MasaiGainz]

8km/L in city is good. City driving/traffic / stop start will always be a car’s worst fuel consumption.

[@franknjauke4196]

Great content once again. Please confirm again the 7-8 kpl consumption on highway driving. Isn't this excessive for a 2litre engine?

[@alvindtb]

On highway i use 10-11 km/l on an isis with similar engine

[@MasaiGainz]

On highway you can push 9km/L on the AWD Rav. Two wheel drive versions can probably get abit better economy

[@TechInADay]

Yes, its alot, even if its the average. It takes me back to the Cygnus which is much heavier, with a V8 petrol engine but matching this fuel economy.

[@eddyotieno8084]

@MasaiGains, where can i get the ECU repair done?

[@MasaiGainz]

CarKeyMasters on Sarit roundabout helped me out!

[@mosebiks4048]

Were can we get letigt fuel pump oem parts

[@MasaiGainz]

Toyota oem parts can try CFAO, linco spares, and many other shops along Kirinyaga Road

[@tendaidzenga9484]

What's the pcd on your wheels

[@Leviskinyanjui]

same consumption as the cruiser??

[@MasaiGainz]

It’s definitely better but not by allot. The cruiser drinks more in heavy traffic stop start situations

[@alvindtb]

Does it use a 1az engine and if so does it consume oil coz i have an isis with 1az engine and it consume oil and it also has some transmission hiccups

[@MasaiGainz]

@@alvindtb watch the previous episode in the Rav series here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLQl3t7mL-sp6s

[@MasaiGainz]

& on oil consumption, I haven’t had any . Transmission also solid 4 speed .

[@Hej411]

I have owned one a manual variant and really appreciated its handling! It drives like a small car while maintaining the aura of an SUV big boy vehicle...

[@alvindtb]

Where did you get ecu repaired

[@luisherbert3920]

It's what I want

[@AIDataQuest]

For $10000 you would have bought a clean CRV or even cleaner Rav4. The buying price for that 2001 shouldn't have exceeded 450k

[@jeiysir2500]

Is that consumption factual?...7km/l highway?

[@MasaiGainz]

@@jeiysir2500 mine is all wheel drive so consumption is more but I belive you can get 9km/L on open road highway trips . But 2wheel drive versions can push 10+

[@Deggoo]

Hey Bro, i really wanna buy that kind of vehicle can u please get one for me ??

[@MasaiGainz]

Vehicle search is a unique process , take your time and try to deal with owners of the vehicle rather than middle men. Also have your mechanic ready to inspect issues and also you can be abit mechanically inclined so that you can also check on vehicles and determine Their condition . This is best advise

[@Deggoo]

@@MasaiGainz Thx

[@TheKenyanExperience]

Limuru road 😅

[@kenwakeyboard]

hapo kwa ecu nilijipata nimebadilisha gearbox bwana

[@MasaiGainz]

Sometimes we don’t know such issues and we end up spending money on the wrong thing. Hence why I said let me put some awareness out there on this topic !

[@tonnyochieng]

The cv joints seem too expensive.

[@MasaiGainz]

@@tonnyochieng check the market place , prices these days are indeed surprising
