I have a 2002 Toyota Camry with a 2.4 4 cylinder motor that's blown!! Can I swap it out with a 98 2.2 motor?

No, it is a completely different model of engine. The '98 2.2L is a cast iron block with alloy head, the '02 2.4L is an all-alloy motor, this engine was a completely new redesign in '02. The '98 2.2L is a 5S-FE model engine, the '02 2.4L is a 2AZ-FE engine.

l have a 2004 Toyota camry. I've owned since then, it's done 240,000 kms or around 20,000 kms a year. l live in the country and get it serviced regularly, it runs brilliantly, never had any mechanical problems, only problem was a rusty exhaust had to be replaced because of rust. l was wondering how many more years or KM's do you think it will continue to run well before there starts to be serious or expensive problems when l would be better off getting a new car?

Oil is to cars what blood is to humans. Fully serviced is the key to long life I ran a corona to 290k and saw that the guy that bought it was still running it 3 years later. Traditionally newer toyota vehicles are not oil burners so if the exhaust starts showing blacksmoke and or/soot in the tail pipe, it's time to bail out. Use a quality product to clean (a) the fuel injectors (b) the top end valves and rockers. If the book allows you to use premium fuel, it has additives will clean the rockers and valves, etc. Well worth a tank full. Run the fuel tank level down to about 1/4 full and then fill up with premium. Only other thing that's probably due for a makor check is the steering assembly. Bumps and lumps in the country may have created a need for the assembly there to be replaced. Often there is a clicking sound when turning left or right, that indicates the problem. At 290k you will not get much for it but it will not owe you much either.

Thanks! Do you think l should be able to get a few more years out of it. You mentioned the steering assembly? Should l ask them to give it a check the next time l get it serviced or it that something they check anyway and they would notice anything wrong? l get serviced at a Toyota garage.

Perhaps you could try using a screwdriver or take it to a honest and reliable auto electrician to get them out though they will probably get stuck again so you might need to take the electronics shop under warranty or if the player is not under warranty then it is best to pay to get it fixed unless you want to keep the c'd's in there.

can a Toyota Camry 2002 6cly limited advantage 3Lt tow a caravan or what towing capacity can it tow?
Thanks

From memory the towing capacity is 1200kg which means that only a very small van could be towed. Being FWD even with a fairly heavy trailer on the steering gets very light.

In all honesty, I have no idea but I will try and find out for you, I dont have a tow bar fitted to mine so I never got around to it.
I am looking at selling mine if you know anyone that's interested,
Cheers

It might be better to have it looked at by Toyota Australia or a trustworthy honest and reliable transmission specialist to fix the problems
