Sounds like you have fitted one of the o rings incorrectly... Happens fairly often...

Pull it apart again and check all the o rings for fitment and condition...

Also, when refitting them, lube them with silicone spray or similar to ensure they go on correctly...

Yeah sounds like you have pinched on of the o-rings. I hate it when that happens. :S

Majority of the new toyotas have one unit fuel filter and pumps under the back seat. It really is a pain in the ***** where you get the twist off fuel filters.

Piece of ***** haha... I do them all the time at work...

Corolla Fuel Filter takes about 10 mins...

My thoughts exactly - the hardest/longest bit is bleeding the fuel system, after that the rear seat just pops off and the fuel pump cover is right there.

Is it the same amount of time for a stivo? I know it might sound stupid to ask but my mechanic gives me the impression that it is not that easy for some reason...

Good work Wil :)

Same amount of time for a Stivo, once you've done a few you can do them all...

Except the new RAV4's, retards at Toyota forgot to put a hole in the cabin floor so the tanks have to come out to change the filters in those, same as all the newer daihatsu's...

Thread Revival!

I had my car serviced on Friday, and afterwards, didn't have any trouble...

The next day (saturday), My car didn't want to start, and so i had to get it towed to a local mechanic.

Seems i have been having trouble with the Fuel filter, same trouble as Wil above.

What i want to know is, where is it located, how can i access it, and how do i correct it, so it no longer plays up?

Thankyou :D

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
