I would kinda doubt it, simply due to the main demographics of MKV buyers. Being an average age of 35, and career fields of IT and engineering being quite overrepresented, puts us smack dab near the top of people least likely to fall for internet scams in my opinion. Simply being above average...
Umm, what?! I've never had a grind, nor have I ever seen, read, or heard any reports from the field regarding such an occurrence. WTF are you playing at?
FYI, if you wanna be a cheap bastard, a wine-bottle stopper fits perfectly and plugs the small hole in the airbox lid leading to the resonator. Then remove the foam and drop in a high-flow filter. The resonator seems to filter out higher-pitched turbo whistle, so with it blocked off you should...
My DD is a 2019 Yaris sedan with a 6MT (technically a Mazda2), and I swear Mazda's four cylinders have the most abrupt, power-sapping A/C compressors on earth. Engineers say it only draws about 3 hp, but I wouldn't have to turn the bastard off on every mild highway incline if that were true...
@Ace of Laces So Toyota still doesn't have any set intervals they're publishing. I know it takes the BMW MTF-LT-5 (or equivalent) gear oil, in the amount of 1.27 quarts.
Historically speaking, the ZF manual gearboxes should have their oil changed about every 30,000 miles. You could certainly...
I already tried that two years ago. I wanted that amber turn signal to work, but the US-spec cars are missing the wire to make it work, and you'd have to run it all the way from the Body Domain Controller, provided that is even possible in a US car as well.
According to Toyota, the design team spent a good deal of time coming up with a configuration that was evocative of the car overall, "distinct, and instantly recognizable." I think they did a pretty good job.
Jesus Christ they're proud of a basic-bitch sweeping indicator movement. How many times can they show the same thing? I wanna see the brake lamps working on the road, etc
I've had a few little "flare-ups" myself, but I equate most of it to the combination of the iMT and CDV messing with "my groove, man." Much better with the Gear Shift Assistant turned off.
I also stopped caring the moment the aftermarket upgrade kits became available.
