What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
Every rebuilt engine includes a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.
1. Oil Consumption
Why Early Toyota GT86 FA20 Engines Burn Oil
Affected Models
Toyota GT86 GT, Pro (2012-2016, FA20D-4U)
Typical Failure Mileage
50,000-90,000 miles
Root Cause
Factory piston rings allow excessive oil passage into combustion chamber; worsened by short-trip driving and infrequent oil changes.
Repair Options & Estimated Costs (UK ranges)
| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minor - Top-up Management Minor | £150 - £400 | £80 - £250 | Regular oil top-ups, switch to higher-viscosity synthetic, PCV valve replacement | Temporary mitigation only; does not fix root cause |
Intermediate - Piston Ring Replacement Intermediate | £2,200 - £3,800 | £1,400 - £2,600 | Engine removal, cylinder head off, new piston rings fitted, reassembly | Addresses root cause; 40k-60k mile solution if block not scored |
Full Replacement - Rebuilt FA20 Engine Best Value | £4,500 - £6,200 | £2,800 - £4,900 | Supply & fit upgraded rebuilt FA20 with forged rings, bench-tested, warranty included | Permanent solution; upgraded components prevent recurrence, 12-month warranty |
Our Recommendation
Best next step for oil consumption
On a GT86 worth £8,000-£15,000, a rebuilt FA20 with upgraded rings offers better long-term value than an in-situ ring job - especially if the block shows scoring. We recommend replacement if oil consumption exceeds 1L per 1,000 miles.
Don't Let Engine Failure Write Off Your Toyota GT86
The FA20 engine's known issues are well understood and fixable. EngineMarket connects you with UK specialists who supply rebuilt FA20 units with upgraded piston rings, revised tensioners and recall-compliant components - all backed by a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty. Compare prices from vetted Toyota GT86 engine specialists and get back on the road without the main dealer premium.

FAQ
Toyota GT86 Engine ReplacementFrequently Asked Questions
Question 1
How much does a Toyota GT86 FA20 engine replacement cost in the UK?
A rebuilt Toyota GT86 FA20 engine typically costs £2,800-£5,400 supply-only in the UK, depending on variant, engine code (FA20D-4U vs FA20D-4V) and whether upgraded components are included.
Key points
- • Early FA20D-4U units (2012-2016) start from £2,800 rebuilt
- • Facelift FA20D-4V units (2017-2021) range £3,200-£5,400
- • Supply & fit adds £800-£1,500 labour depending on location
- • All EngineMarket quotes include minimum 12-month warranty
Question 2
Does the Toyota GT86 engine replacement fix oil consumption problems?
Yes - rebuilt FA20 engines supplied through EngineMarket include upgraded piston rings and revised PCV components specifically designed to address the GT86's known oil consumption issue.
Key points
- • Early FA20D-4U engines suffered from factory ring design
- • Rebuilt units use forged or upgraded ring sets
- • Revised PCV and baffle plates improve oil control
- • Expect normal consumption (<0.5L/5,000 miles) post-rebuild
Question 3
Is the Toyota GT86 timing chain tensioner recall included in replacement engines?
All rebuilt FA20 engines include updated tensioners and timing components; if your GT86 is within the 2012-2013 valve spring recall VIN range, we fit recall-compliant springs as standard.
Key points
- • FA20 rebuilt engines use revised tensioner designs
- • Valve spring recall (T-SB-0025-18) parts fitted where applicable
- • Timing kit replaced as part of standard rebuild process
- • Documentation provided for MOT and warranty validation
Question 4
What is the difference between FA20D-4U and FA20D-4V Toyota GT86 engines?
FA20D-4U (2012-2016) is the early GT86 engine code with higher oil consumption risk; FA20D-4V (2017-2021) is the facelift version with revised PCV, updated coils and improved oil control.
Key points
- • Both are 2.0L naturally aspirated boxer petrol, 197hp
- • FA20D-4V has revised PCV and coil pack design
- • FA20D-4U more prone to oil burn and valve spring issues
- • Mechanically interchangeable with ECU sync if swapping codes
Question 5
Will a replacement FA20 engine fit my Toyota GT86 Pro trim?
Yes - all FA20 engine codes (FA20D-4U, FA20D-4V, 4U-GSE) are physically compatible with every UK GT86 variant including GT, Pro, Club Series and TRD Edition.
Key points
- • FA20 block, mounts and ancillaries are identical across trims
- • ECU may require coding if swapping early/late engine codes
- • Transmission compatibility (manual/auto) must be matched
- • DVLA registration check confirms exact fitment requirements
Question 6
Can I use a Subaru BRZ engine in my Toyota GT86?
Yes - the Subaru BRZ uses the same FA20 engine family, but ECU immobiliser and wiring harness differences require specialist syncing for plug-and-play fitment in a GT86.
Key points
- • FA20 block and internals are mechanically identical
- • BRZ ECU/immobiliser must be synced or replaced
- • Ancillary brackets and mounts may differ slightly
- • EngineMarket specialists handle cross-brand compatibility
Question 7
How long does Toyota GT86 engine replacement take?
Supply-only FA20 engines dispatch in 2-5 working days; supply & fit installations typically take 2-3 working days at a vetted UK workshop, depending on parts availability and workshop schedule.
Key points
- • Rebuilt FA20 units are bench-tested before dispatch
- • Most UK specialists hold FA20 cores for quick turnaround
- • Complex jobs (ECU sync, recall updates) may add 1 day
- • Nationwide delivery available; collection options for core return
Question 8
Does Toyota GT86 engine replacement include a warranty?
Yes - every FA20 engine supplied through EngineMarket includes a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty from the supplying specialist; extended coverage options are available at checkout.
Key points
- • Warranty covers parts and labour for manufacturing defects
- • Unlimited mileage terms apply to rebuilt and remanufactured units
- • Used engines typically carry 3-6 month minimum coverage
- • Always confirm exact terms with your chosen supplier before booking
Question 9
What oil should I use after Toyota GT86 engine replacement?
Toyota specifies 0W-20 fully synthetic for the FA20 engine; after a rebuild, follow the specialist's break-in procedure (typically 500-1,000 miles) before switching to long-life synthetic.
Key points
- • Use Toyota-approved 0W-20 or equivalent ACEA C2/C3 synthetic
- • Break-in oil may be specified for first 500 miles post-install
- • Change oil and filter at 500 miles, then every 10k miles/12 months
- • Avoid short-trip driving during break-in to seat rings properly
Question 10
How do I know which Toyota GT86 engine code I need?
Enter your registration number on EngineMarket to instantly identify your GT86's exact engine code (FA20D-4U, FA20D-4V or 4U-GSE), variant and compatible replacement options via DVLA data.
Key points
- • Engine code is stamped on the block near the oil filter housing
- • FA20D-4U = 2012-2016; FA20D-4V = 2017-2021; 4U-GSE = JDM import
