i picked up my Sportivo last friday night (YAY run.gif) and the dealer told me that the first service (oil and water checks) is now at 5,000km instead of 1,000km.

now i have seen some posts on here from people that have picked up their sportivos in the last week too and they are talking about the 1,000km service....

does anyone know the real km's i have to take my car in... im on 850km atm and dont want to try and squeeze in my car for a service this week.

Cheers

Donna

just had a look at my owners manual and it has a voucher for a 5,000km service... doesnt mention anything about the 1,000km. i think i might ring my local service department and see what they recommend.

Check your service manual that should have been supplied with the vehicle.

If the detail in there has changed then I guess you cant argue. You can however request that the oil and filter be changed and vehicle be checked at your cost.

Although, if the service manual stipulates a 1000km service, then the dealership needs to honour this and it should be complimentary (except if you request an oil change and they supply oil).

NOTE: (was already typing my reply when the above post was published).

Thats strange... But the books always have the 1000km service tear out in them...

Check the book to see if the hole page has been ripped out...

Does anyone know if the door handles come painted?

If so then they should be fitting a brand new replacement. Mucking around with panel beaters is just dodgy.

Nothing wrong with outsourcing to a panel beater, they are the professionals after all, I actually prefer it to Toyota handling it themselves and doing a half @rsed job as they do not deal with body repairs and paint issues. If it is a Warrany job it is also a Zero outlay on your part (Toyota foots the bill) and I'm sure they want it done well first time so they don't want to keep dealing with it. But of course some times things do not go 100% to plan but a majority of cases run smoothly.

What I was suggesting was that if the handle come painted as a spare part then they should just swap over. The panel beater should remove the handle to respray it anyway.

Never seen a job come out of a panel beaters 100% right. Always colour matching, spray quality and overspray issues.

Bottom line, they dont care enough or have too much on to do it properly.

Only ones I've ever seen done right are the ones when the painter does his own car or cars that ppl pay big bikkies to have full resprays done.

Thats my own personal experience...

Your 100,000km service is just an oil and filter change basically... Should be around the $250 mark at a Toyota Dealership...

no need to change timing belt?

ZZE Corollas have a timing chain, not a belt, and this doesn't need to be changed

      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.
