Hey guys! :)

For those of you who were following the story of my 'possessed' Levin ZR, which grew to some 10 odd pages of posts. You may have realised the thread was removed at my request back in early January. I won't go into why or how it happened to come to that, but let me just say that Toyota delivered a brand spankin' new Levin ZR to my dealer last week, to have me pick it up Thursday evening! :)

So once again, the story of Tofuboi and his Levin ZR starts again, as of Thursday. :)

When you really think about it, Toyota went out of their way in great proportion to see that I obtain a new replacement vehicle, we just had some bumps along the way. But we're all sorted and everybody's happy! :D

For those who were a part of the old thread, I'd like to thank you for your input and support throughout the times and especially a big thank you to Toyota Australia for their hard work and dedication into sorting my 'posessed' car out. :P heh. Thank you.

congrats mate ...... very rare for a manufacturer to replace a car ..... there must have been something so totally wrong that toyota didnt want you to get the car back or they couldnt fix it and just settled to replace it ..... becuz they try to replace everything before they would even entertain a replacement ....... just hope the new one isnt goofed as well ;) ;) ;) ;)

Apparently that's been rectified.

But without divulging any personal communications between TMCA and myself. They gave me the option to either have my car repaired, or give me a replacement.

Naturally I took the replacement.

But that aside, things turned out good, dispite a few bumps along the way.

I saw one with the plates M3LTIN (Hottest Corolla ever get it?) Hmm :ph34r:

You won't beleive it though.

I saw that very car today... Levin ZR in the grey. M3LTIN as the plates, parked up the top carpark of Westfield Airport West. :P I was like, WTF I was told about this car last night.

In fact, I had my car parked two places away, some ghetto golf was in the road. :(

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      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.
