Newbie question here.

Is extended warranty the same as the standard 3 yr/100,000km warranty in terms of coverage? Is this extended warranty trasferable to new owner when the car is sold?

Not as far as I know...

Extended warranty gets you an extra 2 years but only some of the items have extended coverage...

And I think that the contract cannot be transferred if the vehicle is sold...

I don't have the details yet as I've yet to receive the car and the documentations. But will have a read through once I get it either today or tomorrow. Hell I don't even know which Toyota dealer it is. All I got is the seller's word for it that he has extended warranty. Just thought you guys might know about how these things usually works.

From previous experience, I can confirm that you can transfer the extended warranty over to another buyer. However, this is not assumed, there is paperwork to fill out to make it happen.

You're right Buddha. Had a read of the Extended Warranty fineprints and it is transferable (only ONCE!) and it will cost me $50 to do it. I guess I'll go for it as it is good until 2008 or 100,000kms (currently only at 20,000kms).

when we bought my Camry, we asked about the extended warrenty option. and the salesperson said dont bother since it was a waste of money. :rolleyes:

the regular 3yr/100,000km warrenty (well 5yrs for the Camry) is a factory warrenty, thats the one you want, covers most of the stuff :D

however, the extend warrenty option, is a dealer warrenty, not a factory warrenty....

you are limited to what you can claim, and limited to an amount you can claim per year.

so doing the calculations, unless you are claiming stuff every year, then your probably better off not getting it :lol:

the salesperson said its just a way for the dealership to make money :P

but your best bet, would be to ask the dealership and look over the terms and conditions etc.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
