I took my 2007 Rav in for it's 30,000 mile check-up and they did an "intake valve and combustion chamber carbon cleaning procedure" at a cost to me of $80. I questioned the need for this and was told Toyota recomends this (it was not listed in my maint. book as needing to be done). I can't imagine that this is needed on these clean burning engines at 30,000 miles. I think I got took!!!! Any ideas on this.
Also they replace a steering rod because of a clunking sound when the wheel was turned. There was a TSB on this. Anyone have the same problem and what part is it?:confused:

Toyota doesn't recommend it. It's not in the maintenance guide in your glove box, right? You could ask to see a TSB or other Toyota Corporate documentation that this is recommended. Probably not a terrible idea to do it, but probably not needed this early in the life of the car.

If they replaced the steering part under warranty, then that's actually great service.
