Now this sportivo is really giving me the s***s at 800km.

Last night i went to warm it up b4 i cruised to my gfs place. I let it idle n got out of my car to have a look at it with driving lights on at night. I imediately noticed a knocking sound. I popped the bonet and checkd for any loose engine covers n parts but everthing seemed tight. After a few minutes of listening i concluded that the sound was coming from the inside top end of my motor. Just so it wasnt a warm up issue i listened to it after driving for 30 min and it was still there. Now im not sure if it has been there the whole time cuz i havent had the car idle while i wasnt in the car. I dont get y its having so many issue for a new car, n i have been driving it like a baby.

Last time I buy a Toyota, 345 000km on my old Honda and not 1 issue.

I agree with Azza, don't waste time and take the car back to your dealer. The first 2000 kms you need to take it easy running in the motor.

I've had this problem in the early stages. if u sitting in the drivers side u'll hear it on the left of the engine bay. This has now since disappeared and nothing was done to it. If U are really concerned take it back and let them have a look but I wouldn't worry too much with it. We all had this issue at some stage but it is not an issue anymore.

My guess is the air was switched on which lowers your idle a bit and causes a rattling noise. My car does it as well and has 38 000 km on it.

Air con was off. I dunno Im sort of over worrying about it. I have warranty, the car is new, i always warm it up and drive it in a proper manner. So whatever is wrong with it Toyota has to fix it, fix it, fix it and fix it again untill im happy otherwise i'll call up consumer affairs n take em to court.

By the way Rolla Boy, thats a mad ride

      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.
