Thank you for your recent email outlining the ongoing issues with your Corolla Sportivo.

For anyone who has the gear shift problem here's a reply from Jenny Stewart. You might wanna adjust the clutch pedal. Not sure if this will work but I will give it a try.

Toyota Australia has investigated reports of gear shift feel/baulking during high rpm gear change on Corolla Sportivo. Our investigations have not identified any design or assembly faults with the clutch or related components.

However, the clutch pedal adjustment was found to be outside specification in some cases and has contributed to the reported gear shift condition. Please arrange inspection of the clutch pedal adjustment by your Warren Toyota as soon as convenient.

We thank you for bringing your personal concerns to our attention and giving us the opportunity to respond.

Yours sincerely,

I returned back from Nunawading Toyota this morning after dropping in the sportivo for the gear box cables etc and mentioned the baulking issue. The service manager (George) said, "yep, we know what to do there" and continued on to the next item. It'll be interesting what the result is when I pick it up this arvo. I'll let you know my impression of the improvement.

Cheers

This is bit out of topic but any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking of changing my service dealership location. I used to service my car at Cannon Toyota Heidelberg and was happy until my last couple of services. I felt the distance I travel is not worth the service I’m getting. Now I'm thinking of going to Nunawading Toyota to get my service done as its much closer. My question is do you guys recommend Nunawading Toyota? Or should I stick to cannon Toyota? Also if I have some warranty work can I get it done form any other dealership than whee I purchased the car from?

Thanks for your help

Cannon (Camberwell) have lost the plot too ...they dont listen any more, and just seem interested in trying to push their big buck service add-ons (non Toyota $200 injector clean at 29,000k), stuff it, I'm not going there any more.

My one experience with Nunawading was very good, superb clean bright workshops and staff that listen with interest....I'm using them from now on

Black455 how did Cannon lose it for you ??

I feel the same mate they seems not listening to my requirements and the last service I got was a real half **** job. They carried out my gear selector recall but didn’t even bother to tighten the gear knob properly. Also I asked them to check my front suspension and they didn’t even had it recorded when I picked up the car. Anyway thanks for your info mate appreciate it a lot.

i also had my stivo serviced at cannon heidelberg and they ripped me off so i went to my own mechanic ive had for years and he told me i dont need to go to any of the dealers under warranty for servicing.and it wont void the warranty.

only if you have extended warranty and for actual warranty issues do ya need to go to the dealer themselves. other than that normal servicing can be done by anyone.if they find other problems outside the service criteria then it has to go back to the dealership.

so i hope that helps. because by going to my own mechanic its saved me over 80$ per service.

ok sport1vo, who do i speak to at mcty, they tried to rip me blind on an oil change for $160. and another $170 for the 5000kms service. Thios was with no oil filter change. they could not justify pricing.

Also with the serviceing of you vehicles, read carefully through your contracts, i went trough this with the dealer and aslo toyota hq, the vechicle must be serviced as per log book by a fully qualified mechanic and also one that has an australia wide gurantee, ie larger chains, this is because they have australia wide gurantee when using only toyota genuine parts. no other parts except oil and fuel while under waranty.

Buy the parts from toyota, keep reciepts and get it serviced at midas or ultratune or similar as they have australia wide gurantee and do log book services.

In Sydney i have been to two different places. Sydney City at Camperdown and Stewart Toyota in Sutherland. Both were pretty good. I had my 6 month service done today at Sydney City and it cost my $125 (staff rates) for oil, filter and the rest of the stuff with a brake clean etc.

I don't have any MAJOR issues with shift anymore. i do get the VERY occasional hesitation but its usually pretty good. Next time i'm in there i will mention it though just to make sure that i haven't just grown used to the gearbox being that way.

I am still under warranty. As long as the mechanic follows the service book and uses genuine parts you are cool.

I recommend Mark's Motors in Clifton Street Prahran if you are in that area of Melb.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      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.
