2007 RX 350 Interference Engine?
#16
Just because you have the 3.5L V6 engine does not mean you will have this problem. The engine layout and clearances may be different in different vehicles in the Toyota family. Would check with a Toyota dealer before saying the HIghlander has the same issue with this repair.
But to answer Lexie's question the water pump has the same design since it's the same part number for all the models with this motor. Not necessarily the same problem with access to it though. Thanks for the correction, RX330inFL!

The RX350 and its 3.5L engine uses a timing chain and not a timing belt. The RX330 uses a timing belt. The timing chain has no service interval and should be good for the life of the vehicle.
