Dat Guy Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Hello again, First, thanks to the community members that took the time to answer my last post. I’ve been a member of numerous car/truck forums, and this, by far has the most polite members. Im thinking about a Alphard purchase. The vehicle is a 2004 Alphard Hybrid in very good condition with 180,000km. What I think I would find helpful would be confirming some info with you all. I’m trying to establish a list of what I believe to be the most common failure associated with this vehicles hybrid system. From there, I’d like get the parts # for said parts, determine which part # (if any) interchange with North American released Toyotas, and determine the cost associated. From what I can tell from my research, the most common hybrid component failures are the; HV inverter w/ converter HV Inverter cooling pump Rear transaxle motor assembly HV battery assembly If anyone reading this thinks there’s something that I should add to the list, please let me know. Also, I found a site that I think is common with this communities members. I’m having trouble trying to determine which numbers listed are the actual part numbers. Here’s a link to the page listing the inverter. I would’ve thought the part number associated with this would have been G9200-58010, but I don’t think it is. Can someone recommend a better site I should be using part searching for this vehicle, or, confirm this is the right #. https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/alphard-vellfire-42427/ath10-53759/ath10w-prxgb-901780/hv-inverter-17647249#) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what the problem is. The part number that you're expecting appears in the web page in your link. Please clarify what you think is wrong. 23 hours ago, Dat Guy said: Can someone recommend a better site This seems to give the same results as PartSouq. I guess they're using the same database: https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/unit?c=TOYOTA00&ssd=%24*KwH1wdDTlb-GpLf-k4Ly1a25mZ6A8f7z8uDP_LSygZWJjY-Myd7ymLaytoeRiJnfwsj1_ICMl46AkdqwxJG4r4C85LXhpLLW5erjo-X89b7g5eWjhrripK-l4aSkoOWgqKTl_OP7qqO95erjqank--GmpLnw8veH5bu_tff0zLzkoqPl_OHhqaG59vfx4uvm46rqsrbn5JGBlYeM4bKwrqql4_rn5ICX1qG8kOuRhp-Bg-GysK6xpeP65-Tz9qnHruvm46auouP5vqHxAAAAALPAVNI%3D%24&vid=0&cid=&uid=365000&q= 23 hours ago, Dat Guy said: determine which part # (if any) interchange with North American released Toyotas I Googled the engine code 2AZ-FXE and found that it was used in the Camry: https://autospruce.com/toyota-2az-fxe-engine/ More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Camry_(XV40)#Hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojie Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hi guys, Please exercise caution here. As far as I know, no Alphards were made in the USA. However, many Toyota engines were/are. Do not assume that the Japanese and American engines (Alabama) are identical, they almost certainly are not. American made engines have suffered issues leading to class action law suits. As far as I know, that is not true of Japanese made engines. So, spare engine parts (indeed whole engines and ancillaries) etc may be common, but may not ! So Brandon, be careful when buying spares in Canada or the US; as the spare parts issue may spill over into the Battery and Inverter arena.

SDGSDG1967 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 How long do the batteries in the Alphard 2004 hybrid last?… thinking of getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.ac Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Clinging on to life at this point, you are looking at upto 20 years old. If you must have a hybrid, factor in this first. The other thing to look at is the cooling system, these are often neglected. I would buy a 20 series or later, as these changed to the synergy system, unless you really must have a 10 series, in which case mileage may play a part.

Rojie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Agreeing with Chris, you should also consider where you will get the hybrid system checked, diagnosed, and repaired; should that become necessary. Do not assume that (most) Toyota dealers will help you, they won't. Even if they would, the cost would be considerable. Read all about it (Michael Brown) on this forum. Michael spent a small fortune but was very safified with the outcome, if not the expense ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Don't forget in many cases some of these Alphards are up to 20 years old + and parts don't last forever. They have a lifespan. One hopes when buying one that you are going to get many happy years driving your Alphard without having to fork out shed loads of money to keep your pride and joy on the road. They are a joy to drive when everything works as it should. I enjoy driving mine, the gremlins are on board again and Alfie is off the road presently waiting to have the rear trailing arm bushes replaced next monday. So I am driving Mother's 07 Auris till its fixed. Her car has only just clocked up 60,000miles as its not used much. So I am looking forward to getting Alfie back.

Hello Michael, The bushes are, as I am sure you know, a common maintenance issue. Not an easy job either, but most capable mechanics should be able to complete the job. So, another 60k miles before they need replacing again. Happy Alpharding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
