2006 Scion tC
Engine not specified
| 156000 mi US $300 |
Engine light turned on and kept reading an emission leak. After replacing parts, it still says the same thing. Not sure what's going on, but car runs fine. |
2006 Scion tC 2dr Hatch
160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 135000 mi US $350 |
The hydraulic tensioner for the fan belt started going bad. It was leaking small amounts of fluid, and the belt was squealing. The tensioner was replaced. |
| 54500 mi US $300 |
I have the supercharged version of the Scion tC and it repeatedly kills catalytic converters and o2 sensors. |
| 57500 mi | Primary catalytic converter failed. This is the fourth time it has been replaced. |
| 150200 mi | Dropped the car off at a dealership for an alignment, when I picked it up after hours the check engine light was on. Brought it to O'Reillys read all sorts of sensor codes including ecu error. Cleared the codes and have driven 2k+ miles fine |
| 160000 mi US $1650 |
Clutch replacement. Lots of rusty bolts due to Midwest miles. They broke an engine mount and a few other bolts. I paid an extra ~$400 for the broken parts and they covered the extra labor. I was provided a fleet vehicle free of charge during the rental. |
| 69300 mi | The water pump had cracked and was leaking and making a very loud noise. |
| 76000 mi US $300 |
O2 sensor was "stuck in lean position" or so the error code indicated. It was first replaced with an aftermarket O2 sensor and the check engine light came back on. Problem solved with a "certified Toyota" O2 sensor |
2006 Scion tC 2dr Hatch
160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 89000 mi US $950 |
The oil pan had leaks. |
| 163000 mi US $650 |
Replaced failed crank position sensor |
| 130000 mi US $1100 |
water pump needed to be replaced |
| 38000 mi | Had a loud rattling noise coming from the front of the engine. The water pump needed to be replaced and was covered by the powertrain warranty |
| 117000 mi | This car ran good until I smelled gas. Head bolts stripped. Apparently Toyota knows about this and has done nothing. They did fix on camry but not tc. |
| 72000 mi US $318 |
Engine check light was on so Replaced oxygen sensor. problem solved. |
