A Toyota GR Yaris G16E-GTS engine replacement typically costs £3,500-£5,500 for a used unit, £5,995-£8,500 for a reconditioned engine, and £5,995-£10,995 for a fully rebuilt unit (supply only). Fitting adds approximately £2,148 in labour (20 hours at specialist rates). Total fitted cost for a rebuilt engine typically ranges from £8,143 to £13,143.

• Used G16E-GTS from £3,500 - lower cost, unknown provenance
• Reconditioned G16E-GTS from £5,995 - tested and warrantied
• Rebuilt G16E-GTS from £5,995 - like-new with 12-month warranty

Common warning signs include sudden loss of power (boost solenoid failure), coolant loss or overheating (water pump or cooling system issues), unusual knocking noises (potential piston or bearing failure), and misfiring or rough running.

• Sudden power loss - boost solenoid failure
• Coolant loss or overheating - water pump or cooling system leak
• Knocking or rattle - potential piston or bottom-end damage
• Misfiring - could indicate injector or ignition issues

For a Toyota GR Yaris worth £26,500-£61,750, a rebuilt G16E-GTS engine (£5,995-£10,995 supply) is almost always a sound investment. The GR Yaris is a modern classic-in-the-making, and the engine is central to its value and character. A quality rebuilt unit with upgraded components and warranty offers better long-term value than scrapping the car.

• Vehicle worth £26,500+ - replacement is a sound investment
• Rebuilt engine with warranty - better than unknown used unit
• GR Yaris values remain strong - replacement preserves value

A Toyota GR Yaris G16E-GTS engine replacement typically takes 18-22 hours for a specialist workshop. Supply-only delivery takes 1-2 days, and supply & fit typically requires 3-5 working days total, depending on workshop availability.

• Supply only: 1-2 days for delivery
• Supply & fit: 3-5 working days total
• Specialist workshops only - this isn't a job for a generalist

The G16E-GTS is generally reliable in standard form when properly maintained. However, it's a highly stressed engine - producing over 170bhp per litre - and track use or aggressive tuning can push it beyond its limits. Common issues include boost solenoid failure (cheap fix), water pump leaks, and - in extreme cases - piston failure. Toyota revised pistons for the Gen 2 model.

• Stock form with proper maintenance: solid reliability
• Track use or tuning: increased risk of failure
• Piston revision in Gen 2 suggests Toyota addressed a known weak point

The Gen 2 G16E-GTS (2024 onwards) produces 276bhp (up from 257bhp) and 288lb ft of torque. It features a stronger valvetrain, new exhaust valve material, increased fuel injection pressure and stronger pistons. The cooling system was also upgraded with an additional sub-radiator and an intercooler water spray system. Toyota revised the piston part number for Gen 2 (13101-18040).

• Gen 1 (2020-2023): 257bhp, 360Nm
• Gen 2 (2024-present): 276bhp, 288lb ft
• Gen 2: stronger internals, improved cooling, available with 8-speed auto
