Hi guys,

New to this site. Just a purchased a 03 Sportivo. Got 3 problems.

1. Make a vibrate noise when accelerate, noise coming from underneath front right side of the car. Only when you drive, but if put in neutral no vibrate noise at all.

2. Squeaky noises when turning from my steering wheel.

3. Squeaky noises (hings) when open door (all 4 doors).

Can anyone suggest what should I do or where can I take to get all fix?

Follow these two basic rules of courtesy and people won't laugh at you as above, or abuse the hell out of you.

1. possibly CV joint.

2. dry horn contacts

3.dry door hinges(lubrication needed)

4. Toyota would be your best bet or your local mechanic.

Here are my thoughts...

1) The old gear selector cable problem (even though he said it's coming from the right)

2) Wha?

3) Lubricate using white grease in a can... Toyotas should have this done to them every few years, I have seen some Camrys with seized/broken hinges after they've dried out.

Don't spose you could move this to "Corolla" eh Silva?

2. dry horn contacts

No horn contacts in those mate, I'd say his clockspring for the airbag (and horn, btw) is rooted.

      Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009

      I also have a Grande from 2011 and I think the infotainment units are the same. I have thought about upgrading the unit from time to time as the maps are outdated but ultimately decided not to as there are lots to consider with the Grande head unit. If I had to choose one of your options, I would choose the Brummstadt model as it is at least designed for the Kluger but you need to factor in: - You may need to change your reverse camera as a lot of these units aren't compatible with your existing camera. - If you choose an non compatible model, you will lose all steering wheel button functions. (Personally I would find that annoying having 4/5 buttons on the steering wheel that do nothing after the install) - If you purchase online and have the device shipped over and have issues with the unit, imagine the hassle of removing the unit and shipping it back. - Be careful with removing the trim pieces in the car. Your car is 16 years old and the plastics would be brittle and may crack if too much pressure is applied. Personally although the head unit is old in my car, it still works and meets my needs 90% of the time. I use my phone if I ever need current maps and navigation. If I were you and not 100% confident in installing a head unit including running new wires through the car to replace the reverse camera, I would try to find a reputable place that did the whole install for you. Interesting video: (BTW, no I don't work for MPX 🙂 but if they had a shop in Perth I would probably ask them to do this exact install in my car)

      Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009

      Hi All, dunno much about car upgrades so kinda feeling overwhemled by the choices of head units out there. Need to replace the head unit for my Kluger Grande with the latest Andriod auto head unit. Any suggestions? I want a large display and a fast processor is also very important to me. I found out these two models below so far but not sure if they are too expensive? Also what would be your preferred store in Aus to buy head units. https://www.joyingauto.com/newest-arrival-joying-10-1-double-din-car-head-unit-supports-ar-cameras.html https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-kluger-2007-2013-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Camry Navigation System

      Anyone got any update on this question? I asked my dealer about a navigation map update for my 2019 Camry a couple of months ago and they told me $240 for one update! Jeez, what is it - gold plated or something?😳 Us owners ought to be able to update our maps ourselves, it's not rocket science - anyone with basic computer skills would be able to do it. Sigh...🤨

      Alternator upgrade

      G'day everyone, Well my old 80Amp alternator finally gave up on me after nearly 17 years of service. I was thinking I would upgrade to a 130amp. The question I have is regarding the wiring. I would safely assume that I need to upgrade from the original wiring to handle the potential increase in amperage, what I want to know is do I have to also upgrade the fusible link? or do I just need to install a fuse in the wiring? If so where would be the best location for this? If anyone has done this upgrade I would also appreciate any photo's to help. Cheers.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      Yes, get the transmission serviced and monitor results. Gear changes should be noticeably smoother unless the transmission has issues with the valve body or a change solenoid. If the ATF pan drain and refill does not resolve the shuddering, then get a transmission specialist torque to diagnose and repair.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      I don't know tbh.. What do I do about the torque converter shuddering at 60km/h? Do I just get the trans serviced and see how it goes, would it fix the issue? I honestly give up should've bought a corolla...

      Hilux engine cutting out

      Hi, did you manage to sort this, had this a couple of years ago and ended up being the suction control valve on the injection pump, but ran the truck out of fuel and now having the same issue. The truck cuts out then, prime the lift pump and it starts again.
