hey everyone,

Started from yesterday, i heard some "squeak" noize "ZI ZI ZI" around the steering wheel, sounds like from inside of the dash board. And the noize only started when i drive, but can not hear any when i stop (the engine is on). And i am pretty sure that noize is not from my stuff in the car. Did anyone have same problem before? and Is that any problems for the electric? thanks

So you can hear the noise only when you turn the steering wheel? You might wanna check out you power steering oil level, i dont know what model you have but it should be near the coolant reservoir.

my model is 2003 camry sportivo. i remembered i have changed the steering wheel oil when i did the service with toyota dealer last november, and the guy told me it would be lasted for two years. So can it really last for 2 years?

Out of interest, my steering wheel makes a zip noise when turned could that just be fluid level?

Hi first thing I'd look at is loose belt, noise should get louder when on full lock.

i think ben has it spot on... i think u will need a new rack...

we've had quite a few camrys coming in with the same complaint and the only rectification was to replace the rack.

Just before you pay the price for a new rack, make sure the rubber rings on the rack are alrite. I had a squealing noise whilst on full lock and i thort it was the rack or CV joints but ended up just being a rubber ring on the bottom of the rack which had moved out of place. Not sure what it is called tho.

Commodores always have power steering noise, normal for them...

Check your belt tension, sounds like it may be loose... But if the belt is worn or cracked then replace it...

      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.
