Hi guys.

Do you guys have any idea of paint code for black aurion sportivo sx6?

My car has got small scratches and I just wanna fix it with touch-up paint at supercheap auto

but they ask me the paint code.

What is the cod for black aurion sportivo sx6?

Also, I wanna purchase the manual and extra set of remote key.

Anyone know how much that would be?

How can you guys check the transmission oil?

I tried to check the transmission oil but I couldn't find the transmission oil tab that I can check under hood.

Many thanks.

-Paint code is under your bonnet. Open it up, try search for a plate/sticker. There you will find what you need.

-Manual? call toyota.

-Remote? EBAY!! a lot there. or toyota but a bit little more expensive. at the end of the day, u still need to get back toyota to help you program it.

-mission oil? engine oil? different? sorry, i m bad at mech stuff... someone else can help you out.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know there are alot of remote key on the ebay.

But I am just wondering that if I buy the key from ebay, does the immobilizer system work properly?

Also, in my experience, if you have automatic transmission, you can check the transmission oil status with the checker(?) under hood. I don't know what it is called but it's pretty same as engin oil checker. However, I couldn't find the transmission oil checker under hood. I've been to garage for engine oil replacement and ask the mechanic guy to find the transmission oil checker but he couldn't find it too. :(

Maybe someone could help me to figure out the name of it.

You will probably find that there is no dipstick to check the AT fluid level. The trend these days is to move towards a sealed system since transmission fluid under normal conditions is not consumed. It is also done that way to prevent the end user from overfilling the transmission oil and potentially stuffing up their gearbox. I believe if you would like to check the level of the transmission oil, you need to remove the overflow plug underneath the engine and stick your finger in if you can and feel if the oil is close to the top of the overflow plug. When the oil is full, it will be level with the top of this plug as when you fill it, you fill till the oil starts to overflow out this plug.

Edit: I also forgot to mention. When I got my car, I only got one key and remote with it. I bought a spare remote from eBay for only $26 shipped, but to be on the safe side, I purchased a key from Toyota. The Key cost $100 from the spare parts department, then I had to go get it cut by a locksmith for around $7. Since the only way to code the keys and remote is with the Toyota Scan Tool, I needed to book it in with the service department for them to do that. They have booked me in for next week. Who knows what they are going to charge and they also said it will take 30-45 minutes. I find that a bit of a lie however since after reading the service manual, it is a process that should only take a few minutes. The keys/remotes aren't actually coded to the car. The car is trained to recognise the keys and remote. Either way though, I'll soon find out how much they charge for a few minutes worth of labour which involes turning a key and pressing a few buttons.

Edit 2: I should probably have answered all questions in the first place. Anyways, you wont find the compliance plate under the hood. You should find a it (in the form of a sticker) on the front passenger side door sill. The sticker will contain you VIN, engine number, paint code, etc.

Thanks for your advice.

So I DO NOT need to check the transmission oil unless I feel something wrong with the trasmission, right?

If then, when do I have to change the Trasmission oil?

Should I change the oil regulary like when it's done 30k?

It sounds like it's pretty hard to check and replace it.

Also, I am pretty impressed by the key cost because it costs much more than I expected.

Please advise me the total price when you get the key's done.

I went to Supercheap auto for the paint with the colour code, that I could find it from the front passenger side door sill, and the code was 209 (thanks to DJKOR).

But the funny thing here is that they don't have any matched colour in their colour code books.

The guy from supercheap auto said that colour might be new because the aurion is new car or the code 209 could be matched with one of the old colour codes but I have to make sure with Toyota first.

I'll let you know how much Toyota charges me for the re-programming after I get it done.

As for the transmission fluid, changing it is a bit of a fun one. Toyota states that you MUST use the WS (world standard) ATF. Apparently this fluid is meant to last for around 160,000 kms before requiring a change. That figure seems a bit high and you would think it would be better to change it sooner. The fun part about changing it however is that with the Aurion, Toyota requires that you have the Scan Tool, because you need to have the fluid at an exact temperature when you change it so that it is filled to the correct level. It is a pretty annoying process that requires a lot of messing around. You should definitely check out the service manual "U660E_Automatic_Transaxle". The procedure is outlined from page "AX-164".

Forgot to mention as well. I also bought some genuine touch up paint from Toyota (since mine was the Mica paint and I didn't want to try a close match from someone else) and they charged $17.35 for a nail polish sized bottle. I covered up quite a lot of scratches on the underside of the front bumper (previous owner must have gone on a steep driveway) and there is still more than half a bottle left.

I think a visit to toyota is probably the best way to get touch up paint. My Aurion came with a small bottle of toyota touch up paint and I bought the car second hand. Obviously the previous owneres knew what it was and left it with the car.

As for the key - I'd assume that the matching of the car to the new key would be in the service manuals. I haven't downloaded the whole manual but maybe someone that has would be able to search the manual for it (if it's there)

Yep, the service manual does state how to code the car to the keys and remote. However, the procedure can only be done with the Toyota Scan Tool/Intelligent Tester. Unless you know someone who can get their hands on one of those free of charge for you, the only way you can do it it through a service centre.

Yeah I had a look at the manual from this forum and it says the scan tool tester is needed for the new keys.

I am pretty sure Toyota is gonna charge for that thing anyway....

Well I just finished getting my new key and remote programmed into the car at my nearest Toyota Service Department. They were a little busy and I had to wait 30 minutes. They charged me $45 for their time. So all up it cost me $152 for a genuine replacement Toyota master key. If you also need a remote, I'd suggest buying one off eBay since you can get them for less than $30 and it's programming will be included when they do the key.

So overall, it cost me $178 to get a replacement key and remote for my Aurion.

Thanks DJKOR.

I went to the nearest Toyota service centre and ordered the paint and owner manual.

It costs me AU$21.55 incl. GST.

I was also considering to get the extra key and remote control so I asked the guy about the price.

Guess how much??

It's $270 for the remote !! and key is $70.

$340 in total but I am not sure whether it's including key cutting and remote adoptation or not.

:angry:

I think I MUST not lose my key set. :blink:

May i know why do u need extra remote and keys? More key, more chance of losing, that is what i myself believe.. I always make myself think i have only 1 key, lost it? DIE! coz my gf scold me when i put my phone, key and stuff around the house, never know where it actually is..

For $3xx, you can do other things to the car mate~ Like FINAL INSPECTION DETAILING~~~ WOOT

I don't think I've ever lost a set of keys to any of the cars that I have owned. New the Aurion comes with 2 full keys + remotes and 1 valet parking key (non Smart Entry). If I only had one set with a second hand car I'd consider getting another one just in case some smart person locked then in the boot.

I was considering to get extra key&remote because I bought it from auction and only one set of key&remote came with my aurion. I think I have to get another set anyway just in case of losing it. :(

Haha

I also got my Aurion via auctions too and will be picking up my car down in Sydney next week... too bad the ZR6 bid was 6k more than what I could afford!!!

So a Prodigy will have to do... :rolleyes:

it looks like aurions via auctions is the "in thing" haha.. i got my AT-X 2 weeks ago for 19.5, it was a hertz car with 28k km but in immaculate condition. 1 key, looking into getting another one. Toyota's price is an absolute rip off.. looking into other options. Thanks for your tips on this forum guys!

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you
