hey all

I got my car recently serviced just the basics for 140,000. The prob is when i start up, somtimes i have to give it a second go, like it does kick over within 3-5 seconds but it is usually instant. What could this be? Toyota who serviced my car said everything looks sweet

Possibly crap fuel... Try filling up with something else...

Had 3 cars in at work with the same problem also including mine that didn't want to start at all last week... Always used Caltex 98 from the same servo... They got a makeover and got all new pumps, filled up and a day later didn't want to start... Went on the same for a few days till one morning it took about 3 constant minutes cranking over till it started... Went to BP that afternoon and filled up with BP Ultimate 98 to mix in with the remaining 1/4 tank of Caltex, been fine since that :)

      Replacement Key for Kluger 2013

      Hey guys I have a kluger 2013 KX-R (2WD). The spare key has been lost and I'm only left with 1 key at the moment which is asking for trouble I've been browsing around and would like to get a replacement from Aliexpress as the local prices from dealers etc are ridiculous. Happy to give programming a go myself On the key that I have, I can see the letter G. I've opened up the case but there are no numbers anywhere. So when I'm trying to hunt for a replacement, I don't know what chip is inside, what Mhz, and what Key cut is needed Attached is a photo of the current key/remote Any help would be much appreciated!

      Have you tried disconnecting all power either by disconnecting both batteries or disconnecting the main plug to the ECU - firewall on passenger side.

      Camry 99 cooling fans not turning on Normally

      Hi all just joined this group fault with my old trusty 99 Camry has me a bit stuck, as iam not new electronics at all . so, the cooling fans are not turned on with normal driving, i have replaced the 2x temp switches one on the top of the motor next to the dash gauge sensor and then the one at the bottom of the Radiator. Relays are fine but for good measure these were swapped out in fault finding. When the AC is on Both fans operate just fine, so we know the ECU is getting to tell the fans when to swicth on and how much speed etc , so currently iam driving around with the AC just for the fans. My next idea was maybe a bad connection on the ECU, so that's tonight's job. But other than that anyone got any ideas or has come across this in the past ???? Cheers

      Kluger Hybrid GX 2023 Wind Noise from windows

      I've noticed wind noise coming from both the driver and passenger side window glass in my Toyota Kluger Hybrid GX 2023. Took it into Airport Toyota dealership (where I purchased the car in Nov '24) and went for a test drive to demonstrate the problem. Mechanic said it was unusual and too loud even with the windows fully closed. They took in the car to investigate and was first told that the mechanic sealed the windows with tape and tested and found 50% of the noise reduced. I was told seals will need to be replaced. Now the wind noise is even louder. Next day, got a call asking to bring in the car to refit or replace the whole windscreen. Totally different to what I was told earlier. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve come across mixed reviews on Reddit mentioning potential issues with seals under the bonnet/hood, door seals, or even the mirror design. Would really appreciate it if fellow Kluger owners could share their experiences and, if you've managed to resolve this issue, the solution that worked for you. Thanks!

      Electrical issues

      Hi guys, I’ve got a 2023 Lc300 it’s taken on some water and soaked the drivers side front floor. ive done the obvious and stripped the interior out, dried everything cleaned all the plugs checked for corrosion made sure no plugs have shorted out replaced the battery checked all fuses contact cleaned everything. Although I’m still having some issues, -drivers seat has no power to it -radio will display screen but won’t let me change anything touchscreen and steering wheel buttons don’t work -central locking plays up -shows warnings on dash I’ve spoken to Toyota all around Australia they have no idea I’ve spoken to a few electricians but no one wants a bar of it. I’m hoping someone here may be able to shed some light? Thanks.
