Hi,have just had 80k service on my 05 echo 1.3 and now the alleged new fuel pump makes a constant whirring whizzing sound which to say the least is annoying.Having been driving for 30 years and owned numerous cars i have never heard this eminating from any other car.My wife took back to toyota and they made her look stupid telling her its because its a new fuel pump, thats what they do,but from what im reading its not what they do ,can anyone shed any light on this problem,,,thanks, phil..

To change the fuel filter you need to pull up the back seat, remove a cover plate and access the fuel pump/filter assembly in the tank...

I suggest pulling up the back seat and boot carpet, access the service hole and making sure everything is tight and been resealed...

you probably mean you had your fuel pump changed i think , as you have said oil filter ,but i am talking about a noisy fuel pump...not oil filter..

All they should have done was to change the fuel filter, not the pump.

Echo fuel pumps are NOT noisy. Take it back, and back and back until they fix it.

Check that the bottom of the fuel tank isn't dented in case it has been pressed up and is now hitting the pump assembly.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
