Really bad vibration sound in Sportivo

My Sportivo developed a really bad vibration I had trouble in pinning down.

The symptoms:

When I hit lift there would be a really bad vibration noise from around the dash and when I came off lift then it would still vibrate for about 10 seconds.

When I was slowing down and compression braking the vibration sound would kick in pretty bad.

When I was sitting still and would just rev the motor a bit hard it would kick in but drop off as the revs dropped.

When a WRX with loud modded exhaust was next to me at the lights and took off

(I had not moved or touched my accelerator) the vibration had kicked in.

This was really pi$$ing me off and I was ready to take it into Toyota to find out what it was.

Can you solve the problem - I have try to guess and then read below

My E tol transponder had moved so that it was touching the glass on the front screen and was perfectly positioned to vibrate against the glass. The noise coming back from the screen seemed to amplify the noise (it was pretty loud) but you could not pin point where it was coming from.

Hey at least you dont have the noise my car is making...

When taking off.. especially on hills, My car exhibits a metal on metal scrapping noise...

Its pretty much right at the stall point... doesnt really matter what gear.. reverse, first or second mainly

Im hoping its just a heatshield rattling or something..

Its going into Toyota on Monday

p.s. Toyota tech came for a drive with me and said its nothing critical... but they need to get it up on the hoise to check it out

I would be very interested in the 3 cable tie fix...

My gear selector cables were replaced and that fixed the noise... for about 2 weeks :(

Now everytime i hit lift.. it returns to haunt me as well

I have experience a similar problem to that before but i had it fix because i had my handbrake adjusted to tight it caused alot of vibrations noise throughout the cabin. loosen the handbrake to 8 clicks

i have sought of given up on fixing these noises as it will eventually come back.... toyota ain't a Euopean made...

i have tried leaving my car there for 3 days, yup ... everything is fixed but comes back after a while, the effect comes quicker when u hit lift.

i have come to live with it....but thats just me.....

Oh what a rattling...TOYOTA :lol:

Stop the negatives about the car. It was my e tol transponder vibrating against the window.

This was just to show how stupid you can be sometimes blaming the car when if you look around it's an easy fix and not the cars fault.

      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.

      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.
