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.

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

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
