The Toyota tech is full of shit, coolant needs to be changed just like most fluids in an automobile. The Car Care Nut youtube channel has much to say about this topic, watch this video
From my experience with blown head gaskets, it doesn't look like it in your case. I suspect it's a corrosion issue (usually blown gasket has an emulsified appearance).
They should both be green as they use the same coolant type i.e. Frostox HT-12. If your car still under warranty, I would...
My thoughts are, the auto is fantastic, I had a hint of buyers regret when driving my friend's auto GR Supra, it even sounds better than the manual which is way too quiet. Enjoy it!
You are welcome, I try to be self sufficient and not rely on Toyota dealerships as they are sh%t, I dread taking my car to the dealer for service. Because this car has no spare wheel, you need a repair kit and inflator in the boot (trunk) in case you are in the middle of nowhere (we have a lot...
Hi there, I can only speak for the situation in Australia, a tire puncture is not covered by warranty here, that's wear and tear. My suggestion is learn to repair your own puncture, it's not hard. I have had 3 already in 20k km of driving, all close to the shoulder of the tire, normally tire...
Mate, your car must have been a lemon, assuming you bought brand new, what kind of break in did you do? I'm getting average 26 - 27 MPG (US) (8.5 - 8.9 l/100km on 95 premium in Australia) fuel economy, that's combination freeway/street driving with occasional hard acceleration for fun, I don't...
Check out member BMWAF, I roughly recall he/she/it installed an AWE touring non-resonated system, he/she/it recommended it to me. I'm going to keep it stock as in the People's Republic of Victoria, the Police are all over you like a herpes rash if you have anything that looks/sounds aftermarket...
Actually, yes & no
ASD - It appears it was always on but because the MT version is so quiet, I thought it may have been turned off. I confirmed by turning off ASD with BC, it sounds quieter than a Camry, it sounds shit with ASD off.
The unlock/lock chirp gone - it probably was never there but...
Not sure if jchadwell's comment is the same as what I'm going to suggest, but what I do is go using the idrive control, there is a function where you can turn off the vehicle; press the bottom RH side button (note, my vehicle is RHD, not sure if controls are same orientation) after you turn off...
Hi All
I've had the above issue twice now, once when my car parked at work, latest incident was last Saturday and my car was parked in my garage. Both times, my front wheels were parked dead straight. I could hear an odd ticking noise when trying to start the car, sounds like coming from the...
Thanks for the offer, I already have a Slammer from my 86 which I bought many years ago from Raceseng and the NTA adapter came last week, so I'm good to go. What pissed me off is there non response and then the bullshit email, yet the website is still selling product like its business as usual...
Hello to the USA members
Question for you, is there any word out there of Raceseng going out of business? I ordered a Contour shift knob on 5th September (AUD281 including shipping), it was showing as IN STOCK when I ordered, email back from Raceseng saying item order confirmed, but no shipping...
