Hi guys,

Kind of new here (much more of a lurker) and just wanted to get some opinions on whether I should proceed with this extended warranty or not...

Basically, I purchased my Presara in 2010 from Western Toyota in Guildford (Sydney) and they offer an extended warranty program if you chose to service at their place after the manufacturer's warranty expired. Now I've been told the services are all at a fixed cost of $220, but are in 6 month intervals as opposed to the normal 9 months...

The extended warranty covers a list of things (unfortunately I can't list them as I don't have it with me).

Does this seem like a good deal or do you think I'll end up spending more?

Cheers.

The big question is bro.

Up to how much will they pay?

I have purchased a few newer cars from dealers and that's the only question on my mind...

Example

we will cover all parts contain in the head assembly.... Good right?

BUT we will only pay up to $2500.

You crack a head in a 2010 Presara $2500 will maybe cover parts and a bit of labour

The rest is on you

I sucks I know so read the fine print.

I purchased my 2010 ZR6 from CMI toyota in SA . Their extended warranty covers everything the new car does, no limit on individual incident payments.

Bout only for 2 more year and it cost $1200

Also now my car is being moded it doesn't even matter haha.

Hope this helps man

This sounds more like the insurance type of warranty. Worst one out there. The only type of warranty if you want to go extended is Toyota Extra Care Extended Factory Warranty, it's pretty much your original new car 3 year warranty extended for another 3 years. Best thing ever. I saved a sh*t load of money with this.

On my 07, the whole head was replaced at no charge what so ever, transmission computer and a whole list of other goodies that would have cost hundreds of thousands if I never paid the $1300 for the extended warranty.

Sorry for the delayed response and thanks for the feedback guys.

I read the fine print and apparently you can only make a total claim of $3000 during the extended warranty - with each claim at a max of $1000. Seems like a shoddy deal to me given that some parts can cost nearly $1000 already (i.e. the driver seat motor and rail which I got replaced before my manufacturer warranty expired)...

If that's the case, where would another good place be to get my car serviced? I'm not competent enough to change my own oils and stuff, so would really just need someone else to do it (never really tried Ultratune and my one time experience with a Midas has been bitter - they were bloody expensive). Also, is it a good idea to get your own gear for them rather than rely on the service place?

      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.
