Ok,

So yesterday i was driving along down at shellharbour and i start hearing this clunking noise up front when i'm taking off, and like something was rolling around..

Anyway i was pretty worried so i pulled over to check things out.. Turns out that my filter has fallen off the CAI and also fallen to bits!!!

Its a Hurricane EXS filter, where you can exchange the insert with a "racing mesh" insert etc, its held on by a nut/screw thing and i can only assume this came loose causing the filter to fall apart..

Oh and yes i know i shouldn't really be using the clamp thats holding the filter(probably problem #2), its held up for the last 8 months but i suppose i'll change it now..

So i pull apart my car to see this, the filter just sitting there off the intake -

thats the lid and the screw/nut thing that go on top of the filter above^^ -

and this is a farkin stick that was sitting right next to the filter!!!!

I think i am very lucky i hadn't been hitting lift at all yesterday, as i didn't know how long the filter had been off for(i'm hoping only yesterday as it was on when i checked on thursday).. Reckon that stick could've launched itself into the intake if i had've been hitting lift at all? I know its only a little stick but i have NFI what would happen if it got sucked into the engine and i dont wanna know either..

Anyway just thought i'd show you guys what happened to me yesterday.

Cheers,

Chris

Dunno whether lift generates that much draw in to actually suck that bolt up, BUT...

...t's ok now man. Nothing bad happened. Get yourself an ITG filter when you can ;)

Few of the other guys here in the ACT9's are using awesome filters as well though. Hopefully they'll stick their head in and give some advice.

whats this ITG filter your guys are talking about??

Sounds like i will be buying that or a drift filter, as i'm sure there won't be a screw/bolt on the top that will just come loose and make the filter fall apart whilst i'm driving lol

ITG FTW!! From memory they are about $180ish last time I got a price on one. Easy to clean and work very well. Big advantage they have over others is the alloy bell mouth built into the bottom of the filter where it slips onto the CAI pipe. It breaths over a large surface area as well.

Whats the difference with the ITG???

I was told the DRiFT would be quieter than the TRD filter, but I think its just as loud, and its louder when she comes up for oxygen when your down shifting.....

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
