Hey all,

Been a while since been on this forums! Missing all the updates!!

I have a n issue with my Aurion ZR6 pre 09 update model... got the 2nd service done... purchased the car at 12000km.

in the last month or so after i did the 2nd service to the car( 26k) i have noticed that in auto the gear box after 2nd gear cant keep on a constant gear when driving...

didnt have these issues prior to the service...

Im driving at 60-65km @ 1600-2000rpm and the gear would stay at 4-5th gear at most on long street stretches... is i am going down a long slight hill i would notice the gear changes and the 'roll' is more smoother without the usual slowdown on the 4th gear...its more like downshifting from 6th gear to 4th gear and the speed slows down over the 300 meter stretch...

The other issue is that if driving at 70km and the gear is at 5th or 6th gear and i place the accelerator down it wont change gears ( speed goes up very slowely) till i accelerate all the way then it will down shift...

these issues started to occur a week after the service and wasn't sure what the issue was until my mate drove it ( he has the stock aurion) and agreed on these issues ...

have other aurion drivers experienced this? i did drive it in 'sports' mode for 1 week to see what it was about and reverted back to auto..

my driving habits are - shift in neutral at lights ( shift to D - i feel a ***** in the transmission and then slowly take off) - reached to 5000rpm maybe 8-9 times during a Melbourne visit...

Cheers guys!

even with my new transmission I find that it "HUNTS" between 5th and 6th at around the 80km/h mark, it does worry me that when it goes into 6th its a very sluggish change.

does the auto flare at all ?. if it is cold and under light accel between 3 - 4th can a flaring be felt or the engine revs seen to increase on the tach.

keep in mind these autos are adaptive. they learn your driving style. if the missus drives it like "miss daisey" the you get in and give it curry it will take a while to "learn" hence the feel of not knowing what gear its in.

What service did you get done , a 30k ?.. oil and filter and brake fluid.. nothing should have been done to the auto- unless the battery was disconected ?

i had an auto ecu replacement in 2009 and i was one of the first to run this , i have guys from toyota technical use my car as a guinea pig to see how the new ecu was working.i was told to drive it for 300-500klms until i gave any answers

i can make my auto fell like its playing up. just accelerate down a hill back off and let it coast then give a small throttle percentage and it doesn't know what to do , this is a characteristic of this adaptive auto with drive by wire .

cheers Tim

p.s. on a cheeky note.. the famous old line heard. it never did that before the service. we changed the oil and now the tail light globe is blown ?? :unsure::whistling:

i have a few issues noticed with my auto.

if driving over 50km and remove my foot from gas i feel like its pulling me back

if i release of the petrol to go around a sholder or bend once i put my foot back down (somtimes) it feel like i dosent even know what gear to go into it completely lags....

if i coming to a complete stop i see and feel the cars revs go up as its gearing i have drove many cars and never dorve a cars auto like this

are these issues normal...

i bought this car from melbourne city toyota came with 3 month or 5,000km warrantie if its a issue id rather get to it befor it runs out.....

Hi Rulke,

      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.

      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.
