Thought i might show my recent purchase on here too :)

The car is 100% original and has keyless entry with a start/stop button, climate control and a 6-speed manual transmission.

Let me know if they have this in your country :D

Working on a 2000 Toyota echo in australia. I had to remove the drive shaft for something else and I’m reinstalling now. When I removed the driveshaft I peeled the boot back and used a slide hammer, but a ton of grease ended up falling out the shell at the end and boot. I’m planning to degrease the tripod and shell, then degrease them and use the old clamp again. is this okay practice? Also the retaining clip at the end is slightly deformed, is it okay if I reuse that too? Is it worth getting a new one?

Btw in the photo the boots are back on, as a mechanic did that for me, but he never regreased it and I think that them missing a substantial amount of grease is risky.

Thanks

Alright alright alright yall, so I got a bit of not so good news if you saw about my LED setup. So I listened to yall and went back to the dim halogen setup. My bad if Iev been going a little nuts in the posts, definetly posted a ton lol. But if anyone has some more advice on what I can do to improve this I’d gladly give it a take. Thanks, y’all!

My Sienna 26XLE is a fantastic car that I’m excited to see my kids grow up in. The drivetrain and low depreciation are insane in these Toyotas.

Good thing I have to drive this on a highway to get to the dealership am I right

Hey all,

I have a 1.33 manual 2017 Yaris with air con in the UK and was wondering how easy it is to change the serpentine belt? It's over 60000 miles now on the original belt and I don't want it to snap so I'm thinking of replacing it. What are the steps to changing it? Youtube doesn't have a video of this particular model, mainly shows vids of Yaris from America/Asia. Also is it 4pk 1165 or 4pk 1170?

Thanks

Hi everyone! This is my first time buying winter tires, and I have no prior experience, I’d really appreciate some advice.

I drive an Corolla Cross LE AWD vehicle. I’m wondering whether you’d recommend buying winter tires from Costco or Toyota. Are there any pros and cons to either option?

Also , since I live in Toronto, would you recommend getting rust protection for my vehicle? If so, what type of rust protection is best?

Any others get their notice today? Fuel pipe connector.

We just bought a (brand spanking new 2026) Prius Plug-in Hybrid and am running 240v from the fuse box to the garage. I envision having a cable hanging from the wall that my spouse can pull off the wall and plug in the car to charge overnight. I can't really use the cable system that came with the car since it needs to stay in the car for when we only have access to 120v. (Kids live in three different states.)

Are there charging systems I can buy to hook up to a 240v feed and hardwire it into the garage wall? Any recommendations?

Just changed engine oil, car isn't quieter it's making me worried. It's a toyota yaris cross 2022. owners manual says 0w-8 JASO GLV-1, put in WESTWAY LUBRICANT 0W-8 JASO GLV-1.

About ten miles ran so far, It was quiet after the last oil change, Recently become loud when oil maintenance alert came on, thought changing oil would make it quieter again. But it sounds the same.

Any advice?

I recently bought a 2003 sequoia from someone, and noticed that the AC system will automatically adjust itself. The only knob that does anything is the temperature. The fan speed knob does nothing, and the fans will adjust themselves on their own.

Is this a standard feature? Or did the guy do something after market that I have to figure out? I can't find anyone else talking about this online. Or am I just missing something?

***I need to go visit family 300 miles away for visiting family member in hospice.*** I bought 2008 Toyota Sienna XLE from 1 owner with all documentation 6 years ago at approx. 161,000 miles. They were selling it because they had just bought a new Sienna and they didn't need 2 vans. This has been a great van, but it now has 272,000 miles.

Since August, I have had to replace battery, something is going on with the muffler and it now roars from the back when I turn it on and hit the gas, radiator busted and replaced the radiator, coolant, and a lot of the transmission fluid was added, now groans when someone gets in the front and when you turn right, and the steering wheel does wobble/shake a small amount when driving, usually lower than 50 mph. What is going on? I had the tires balanced last month with a fresh oil change. The previous owner and myself have always had oil changes (full synthetic) at 5,000 miles. Throughout the years I have replaced all brake pads and rotors, 1 rear wheel bearing, and struts.

The 2 front tires are 3 years old, the back 2 are almost a year old and all Michelin from Costco. Costco says they will not rotate my tires because the tires are different ages. I have 3 kids and need to get them to preschool, gymnastics, piano, church activities, and classes.

For some reason I am almost terrified to drive this car thinking it will collapse at any moment on the highway/interstate and I will get in a wreck. Does anyone have any thoughts or any Siennas with this high of mileage? We buy cash and drive until the wheels fall off and I am just wondering what that means exactly, or how much money to put into this car. I come from a family where the brand new Toyotas were traded in at 100,000 miles because my parents thought they weren't safe anymore.

Also, what car should I consider next? All the Siennas I've looked at on marketplace/cargurus are much more than the cash I have saved. I am thinking no more than $7,000 range because I live on gravel and that just eats up the cars. I will only consider Toyotas, but I may only be able to afford Camry on that budget. Is a 2005 Camry v6 with timing belt ok to buy? Should I stick to only timing chains? I have been researching Scotty Kilmer and Car Wizard to the extreme!
