hi,

my first time posting on here so please bear with me.

I have a few questions about my 2013 Corolla

1. I am about to install new speakers but can't work out how to remove the door trim.

2. Have had issues with my front window tint scratching along the top from putting window up and down. Toyota advised it was a users error. Sol-ace tint (where Toyota gets the car tinteD) advised that it is a known issue with the new Corollas due to the window seal being very tight on these new Corollas. Anyone had any issues?

3. CVT transmission seems to rev up to 2000k just before coming to a stop. Is that normal? have taken it back to Toyota and they reckon its normal but it really does feel rough and from drivng other, it seems a bit odd.

4. I have a click noise from the right front wheel every time I go over a bump but once again Toyota can't fault it.

Can anyone helps with any of these questions? Especially rmoving the door trims to get to the speakers?

Thanks guys and gals.

Did they find the problem?

As expected, No, they can't find the problem but they mentioned it could be the brake caliper and said it's normal :g:

Had test drive with the mechanic but there is no place we could simulate the problem like in my place where the driveway is elevated from the road level, the driveway in Paramatta are not the same as we have in my place....

But they did put the car in the hoist to check the under chassis for anything lose but said they cannot find anything....

I had my car tinted and I noticed a mark on the silver strip/panel that covers the door grab that you hold to close the door. It was marked at the bottom so I think the starting point to remove the door trim is to pry off that silver strip/panel, as what my tinting guy did... just don't damage yours in the process because it's very easy to mark. I could be wrong though, I don't do much DIY like taking off door trims etc...

Cheers.

Take it to another dealer or to get independently tested. Some dealers aren't too keen on fixing issues so they just let them slide.

I havent got scratching, but i have bubbles, which I am furious about. I am getting this fixed qat 1000K. Also scratches to plastic in interior whilst fitting tint. Not happy. I`ll keep an eye out of marks/scratches on the tint.

3. CVT transmission seems to rev up to 2000k just before coming to a stop. Is that normal? have taken it back to Toyota and they reckon its normal but it really does feel rough and from drivng other, it seems a bit odd.

I think this is normal. When your braking, the CVT increases the engine rpm by increasing the gear ratio, its attempting to use the engine brake to assist you. Once you get down to about 15Km/h it does just drop off suddenly, which I believe is the way Toyota have programmed this, but its not overly smooth.

4. I have a click noise from the right front wheel every time I go over a bump but once again Toyota can't fault it.

I havent got this, but how hard are you hitting the bumps? my Yaris has a 'clunk' over speed bumps, but i have to be going quite swiftly over them. I did kind of get this noise in the Corolla as well, but again, over a speed bump at a swift speed.

Hello,

I purchased a new ZRE182 around the same time as you. No tyre/engine rev issues though.

However I have had lots of rattle/squeak/vibration noises around the dashboard area. From what I can tell it might be becoming a bit of known issue now.

Have you noticed anything in your car? My information here: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/42347-rattle-squeak-in-dash-board-2013-corolla-ascent-sport/

Cheers,

Jason

      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.
