Hey guys,

I've noticed that when taking off I am getting a cherping kinda sound when taking off and in low revs.

When my Sportivo was taken for it's Toyota service I mentioned it to them and the mechanic told me he lubricated the fan belt.

Im not much of a mechanic or techo but does this sound right?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

In what gear??, There was someone else who said the same thing a while ago & the reason was because he was rolling in the wrong gear

Get them to adjust the accessory belt tensioner. If that doesn't solve it move onto a new belt then a new tensioner.

Thanks SuperDave.

Where abouts is the accessory belt tensioner?

Can you do it yourself?

Is your car still under warranty???

Take it to Toyota and get the belt and tensioner replaced under warranty...

If your warranty is over, ask for a Warranty authorisation request to be sent to Toyota in regards to these items and if that gets denied, expect to pay around the $500 - $600 mark...

tensioner is non adjustable but yeh if its a belt squeel itll be that

putting grease on the belt sometimes helps strangely enough but it rarely works for long

superdave always goes one better lol!

you might actually wanna check out your water pump.

i just serviced my car and when i was checking out everything i noticed that my water pump has started to leak and my belt is chirping possibly due to coolant leaking onto it.

just a thought hate to see you stuck cause its overheated.

so i spose ill be putting up a how to thread when i get me a new water pump <_<

I always find it funny when people try and say that a FWD car has a fan belt.........

Do not spend money for belt tensioner and belt. The noise problem will come back after few hundreds of kilometers. This is one of the unsolvable little issues of this car.

I replaced them once under guarantee but I did not care to do it again after few weeks! The car is like this for 2 years w/o any serious problem.

the 2zz's belt tensioners are hydraulic, they go pretty quick, poor design, common problem

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
