I understand completely. I love my car too. But, and this is what I keep trying to say, everything that happened IN MY CASE and from what I've read from a few others, falls under what is described in the manual. So Toyota knows, BMW knows, and it's obviously a designed feature.
Should it be...
You have a point in that the way it's written allows for different interpretation.
I can only speak of when I had the "issue" and how the car behaved.
In my case, I backed out the driveway, and when I went in D, it had the rev cut. I pressed the throttle, and the car didn't feel like it...
Yup me too! I'm perfectly happy with the stock power. When you get the car back, before you change the oil, go run it hard for a few hundred miles. Get it up to temp, then hard accelerations through the rev range and multiple gears. I like to use on ramps for that. Then cruise to the next exit...
Yeah that seems to be the majority who post they have to refill early. I wonder if the low loads and reduced RPM make the engine not seal up right. The oil is so thin from factory, I wonder if it's escaping.
I did a hard break-in and my level stayed at full. I also changed to a thicker 5W-30 to...
I read somewhere they made the calendar in such a way that races can swap places. Like Australia would swap dates with Bahrain.
It's gonna be the same as last year I think. Multiple races at the same track and some canceling altogether. Nothing has really changed in the world. They're just...
You're right, I'm really not. I started out just wanting to help. Trying to make the worrying princesses feel better that their cars were working fine. But, of course, then I get called names because it doesn't line up with their "sky is falling" theories. Yeah, then I tend to push back lol...
The manual says THAT it does it, not WHY. Temperatures are just speculation. Could be something completely different. We don't know. I've had the "issue" too. Which made me read the manual, the section that covers it, and then went "oh, ok" and left it at that.
If you nearly got rear-ended...
What moron let's a car idle for a few hours? I think you're greatly exaggerating. And if you're not, then you're still a moron.
When your car idled "for a few hours" your engine stayed warm, but everything else, transmission and diff for example, cooled off. What if it needs all 3 to be in a...
Lmfao! So a thread about Formula One drivers is the same as this? Ok then. I did remove that post (about who stepped in as a replacement, not the HALO) , because it was wrong what I thought about Russell, since Vandoorne was their reserve driver. What's wrong about that?
And you were wrong...
Yeah I'M the keyboard warrior.... ok lmao.
I just feel bad for the new owner that comes to look for answers after they notice the rev protection, and sees this paranoia thread and thinks their car has a problem, when it in reality is working perfectly fine as described by the manual. You know...
Eh, he got his car bought back because of electrical issues and paint issues. (his own words)
It's in the goddamn manual that the car has an engine protection system.
Just paranoia. Nothing more. If people used just a little common sense they'd know it's nothing. But princess killxpoint...
Because it's NORMAL, and it's in the manual, if any of you bothered to read it.
Yes, yes, @KillxPoint come cry how Toyota bought your car back for different issues.
It's not good to warm up any car idling. It's best to get in, get yourself situated, seatbelts, music, whatever, and go. Keep the load on the engine low until the coolant gauge reaches optimum temperature. There's no oil gauge, because it isn't important. Oil works at any temp. Coolant gauge is...
