Hello,

I have a 2006 RAV4 AWD V6. Driven 90K miles.

It was making a noise unheard before so I took it for servicing.

They found that the rear differential leaking oil and making noise. They topped the fluid, test drove but noise was still there. So have recommended rear differential assembly changed. They have quoted about $2300 plus tax.

Can you please advice if thats a genuine estimate?

Thank you

There is a TSB and a service campaign for the growling noise in the rear diff. It started in Canada first and more recently was announced by Toyota USA. A lot of posts here on R4W about it.
