Hey Guys,

Car is a 2009 Aurion 91,000km

So about 3 months ago I got my water pump replaced at Toyota, old one had a slow leak. The next day after picking the car up the coolant was quite low in the reservoir took it back to Toyota said it was normal as it was just going back through the system and they topped it up. I checked it yesterday (engine cold) and the coolant reservoir was empty. I then drove it to work and checked it again and it was about half full in the reservoir. It seems that whenever it's cold it completely drains itself empty in the reservoir. I understand it expands with heat and what not but to be completely bone dry when cold seems a bit worrying

I went and bought the genuine Toyota super long life coolant and am going to fill it a little in the morning and check again after it cools down from a drive. Could there be a problem with the new water pump or is this totally normal in the Aurions. Also I haven't noticed any wet patches under the car at all. I've had no overheating warning lights and the temp gauge is just under the middle where it's always been, any help would be great thanks guys

Rob.

My car from cold to hot stays between the low and full indicators of the coolant container. If I fill it up to the top, I can see once the engine warms up it leaks out the cap. I have never seen it dry. (175,000KMs)

Hi Jester.

My fluid stayed at similar levels, when cold or hot.

I'm wrecking an '07 TRD (SL) in WA (should be finished by 27.08.14), so there are still some original TRD parts available ... radiator, pipes, etc.

If you wanna send me an email bid for any of the parts, read points 1 to 4 at the bottom of my first post, post #1 (current bids for each part are at post #10) ...

Hi Rob, how much did Toyota charge you for replacing the water pump?

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
