hey guys...

ive just recently clockd up 40,000km and im due for a service

i called up melb toyota and told them what serviced needed to be done and they told me it will be about $600 for it...since its a major service....

Is that right? $600 for a 40,000km service?

and another question...do any of yous take your car any where else besides a toyota service dealer? and does it void your warrenty?

well any advice and info is much appreciated

Thanks Michael

you can get your car serviced elsewehere as long as they use genuine parts for the service and stamp the book. Dealer service stamps are usually better for resale value though.

Cost of the service depends on exactly what they do to your car, what does it state in your service schedule booklet for the 40K?

I'm guessing all filters, oil, box oil, flush coolant, check brake pads (which involves physically removing the pads from the calipers and measuring their thickness if following the correct procedure at Toyota according to the boys at Motorama Toyota.)

and replace spark plugs

i think a few guys here had already done theirs for around $400 from toyota which seems pretty good.

i did mine outside of toyota and saved about $100

Sounds about right,

My last cars major (60,000km) service cost around $700. This is included replacement all filters and fluids, new plugs as well as supply (not fit) of new brake pads.

If you're updating your vehicles regularly the trick is to sell them with around 35,000km (or in some cases 55,000km) on the clock in order to dodge these costs.

If your keeping the car long term, expect to fork out this sort of money.

Its a pity that alot of that cash goes towards labour.

Mine was done 2 weeks ago at Western Toyota in Sydney and it cost me $250 and I supplied by own Engine and Gear Oil. They did all the checks for me, adjusted my clutch and changed the collant and topped up all other fluids.

Also no need to change the air filter as I have a CAI (only on for 6 weeks at the time)

I suggest calling around a few dealerships to check for the best price. If the difference isn't much I suggest bringing it to the most convenient place. :D

Ring Frankston Toyota 97838400 and ask for Warren. They should look after you and they usually give you a free loan car for the day. Tell Warren that Peter Lausch told you about Frankston Toyota. They have done a great job on my car.

Why are people with Sportivo's getting plugs changed at 40K. They come with Iridium plugs which you should be getting 100k or so from...

Rang up to book for 40,000km service yesterday and got it done this morning 8.30am. "Express Service" - whereby a few mechanics work on one car, offered by Tory Toyota Albion Park Rail (didn't like them but wanted a quick service this time), car in and out in less than 2 hours (10am) while i waited, sipped on a cappucinno and reading WHEELS mags. Also watched what the mechanics did to my car on a tv screen suplied to inform customers they really do work on your cars.

Anyway, total cost was approx. $250. Broken down into $160 labour, $40 parts, $20 consumables, gst $20. I supplied my own engine oil - Castrol FormulaR 5W30, they did engine flush and brake system flush, oil filter change plus all the other standard checks.

The most noticeable difference was the brakes and more torque from the engine. I felt it instantly the brakes were very bity and the engine's response was much better from take off. My last service was at 32,000kms and the car saw some track work at 35,000kms so this is the only service since.

My front brake discs were given a "fair" review so i guess they will come shortly possibly with new shock absorbers if i'm not too broke.

not bad! your car still under warranty?

Yes but the brake discs and shocks will probably not be covered. I am after better shocks like the Koni sports but brake discs i might just get OEM if they don't over-charge.

They will still service your car, its just that they might not want to perform a warranty job on your car if you have midified parts that may have resulted in a failure. Othet than that Toyota has no right to refuse a legitimate warranty claim or job. And if one Toyota dealership refuses there is always another :P Then dob that dealership in, write to Toyota Australia.

      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.
