Aurion 2005 transmission issue
I have the same car. The transmission fluid has never been changed since I owned it, the dealership and some of the mechanics never mentioned anything about changing the fluid or that its sealed and doesn't need to when I'd asked years ago. The car vibrates around 60km/h and jerks around, I took it to another mechanic who said it was the torque converter and I could change the fluid and filter for around $700-800 and see if it helps. A lot of money for a trans service I probably could buy a second hand one. I have no idea what to do, I don't have the means to buy another car at this point. Any recommendations would be great... oh and by the way, is $700-750 normal for a tranmission service with fluid and filter change? -

White Pearl Paint cracking & peeling on a Prado
Hi all, It's been a month to the day since my vehicle was assessed by local dealership and this evening I received the call to say that my claim had been approved and my vehicle will be fully repaired by Toyota. Just as an FYI my vehicle is paint code 070 so the pearl white. I think was assisted was the fact that I was original owner and had all paperwork (registration etc) confirming this. I'm yet to get my car booked in, but I've received confirmation that it'll be fully attended to. -

A Google search confirmed the firing order. Post no.9 in this URL has a diagram of the injection pipes. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1hz-injection-pump-firing-order.833841/ -

VSC Off and can't get it back on.
The VSC just came up as off. I've tried everything to turn it back on. It happened straight after an auto electrician did a test on the system. They found no faults. I thought they just pressed the button or something. Usual. Press the VSC button. VSC button in nuteral and reverse. Unhooked battery to reset it selves. Took it to Toyota dealer who ran a diagnostic but not showing any errors. They reckon I have to book it in for them to look. Sometime in Feb. -

Wiper gremlins
I have lived with a problem in my wipers for over a year now which I have been unable to solve. I won't confuse you more than I will with the different scenarios that occurred with this but over time I have narrowed it down to a few specifics. It started in a moment in far north Queensland and my wipers started without switching and the washers also and they pumped until empty when I disconnected the washer pump. Believe it or not I disconnected every fuse and relay connected with the wipers (as far as they were labelled) and they wouldn't stop. I drove to othe farm where i was heading and the friend there was an auto electrician and he couldn't work it out even with his network of friends. Trying the fuses in the cabin only produced further odd actions. I ended up removing the wipers and they just kept rotating with out the blades. Back down here in NSW after trying different things I found of the 2 white plugs on the stalk if I removed the smaller plug that would stop the intermittent function which eliminates the gremlin until I plug it back in. However I cannot hook up the washer pump as when it triggers it will not stop for anything till disconnected. I have the small plug half out with the shroud off and push it in when it rains but its a cow. Strangest thing of all, wait for it...... I confirmed after many roundabouts that it only triggers on right hand turns and will do the normal six swipes as in the washer function then rest till the next right hand turn! I kid you not.. Due to a seat belt error light I had the clock spring replaced and I bought a new stalk as part of my fault finding. Its so strange I'm wondering if another auto electrician will go through all the same procedures to find out what I know. Can anyone shed any light on this problem or do these strange things only happen to me? regards Boolaroo -

How many km's has your Kluger done?
I have a 2005 Kluger Grande that will hit 500,000km in just 140km. Still going strong. Original engine. Been well maintained all its life. Treat it right it treats you right. Best car I have ever owned. Bought it for my retirement. Taken it all over Australia but no real off-road travel. Like I say, treat it right. -

spark plug replacement
Ash, that's actually very well said & I feel quite true. The person doing the work isn't always who you think it's going to be or the highest qualified, just like builders, they will use apprentices or "labourers" to do the work. I also had "trust issues" when I was younger with my new cars, hence my reasoning for doing the work myself most of the time. I learnt a lot along the way & gained tools & knowledge to suit. My mate mechanic also helped out when I wasn't sure. I'm also so greatful for the internet.- 1

Kluger button key
Unfortunately, you have not detail which methods have not worked for your vehicle. Understandable if there were too many and similar with minor differences. If you have the same or similar design door remote as this YouTube video then maybe the programming steps will work for you. Please reply to confirm whether it works or not.
