I recently purchased this van for use in the Philippines. It's an oddball, coming from Japan originally as a right hand drive, then converted to left hand drive in the Philippines. The engine is clearly stamped a 2L and it has a Turbo on it, although I can't find it listed anywhere for this model of van. I had to change the alternator on it, which involved quite a bit of work, but we finally got it done. The question I have is: What is the oil pump mounted on the front of the alternator for? I would take it that the engine has it's own internal pump, I was just wondering what this second one is for?

Thanx in advance!

I found the answer to my question. The front mounted pump on the alternator is not an oil pump, it is a vacuum pump that is lubricated by the engine. Diesel engines produce little vacuum, so this auxiliary pump is used to supply vacuum to the power brakes.

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Assuming it's expensive because you have no spare keys to make new copies from? Whilst your key doesn't need batteries and has no buttons, it probably still has a chip built in for the immobiliser to prevent hot wiring

      Invisible Instruments fix

      Yep. I used that hack because the dash was so dark. It's brilliant and easy. Newer Taragos have backlit dash day and night so no more need for this hack

      Finally found all Tarago's 6 speakers - 2 in roof lining

      After owning a 2007 GLi Tarago (ACR50), I've only just found there are 2 Tweeter speakers hidden under the roof lining just behind the front row (driver and passenger) seats, above the B-pillars. Blew my mind. Would really have preferred it if they weren't so hidden. Ideally they should have positioned them a bit further back too for the rear passengers to hear more clearly. Now that I know, I've been able to tune the stereo much better for rear passengers. Taragos were alway advertised as having 6 speaker stereo systems, but I assumed it must have been a marketing con because I could only find 4 speaker grills. Since the rear speakers don't have any treble sound, they really need those tweeters in the roof to balance out the sound.

      Can I use USB hub to get more USP ports?

      I just bought 2022 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid. The manual said there are two USB ports, but I can only find one. I need two USP ports on the front: One for Andriod auto, the other for dashcam. Can I connect a USB hub to the USB port on the car, will Andriod auto work on the USB hub's port?

      Replace Front RH park light Corolla 2006

      Hi Martin, Firstly welcome to the forum.. I would go on to Youtube I am sure there are many videos there showing the process. If you have no luck there google it and see if anything there can help out, I have never done it on a corolla but I do know on my Aurion it was easy on the right side but a real pain on the left with the battery in the way.

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      Hey mate, are you sure that's an option for the vehicle? Some models have various set ups. I've had Toyotas that will auto unlock, but not auto lock. I haven't had the chance to work on that one yet thanks to the issues Toyota is having with their keys... I'd like to know if you figure it out!

      2005 Toyota Camry Altise - changing transmission fluid?

      I'm not too sure about "old fluid to make shifts". Personally at 160,000 kms I would change oil and FILTER. Clean oil will help your tranmission shifts better and remove worned metals inside, metal shavings can prevent solenoids from working properly. This is preventative maintenance.
