Good day :)

I have a Corolla 160i GLE 2005 model. Yesterday the alarm and central locking would not work and I tried both keys. The problem is that as I lock the car manually with the key, the alarm arms itself and as I manually unlock the door, the alarm goes off. Then I have no way of stopping the alarm once it goes off as it does not respond to the remote in the key.

Has anyone ever experienced this and how can one switch the alarm off if it is faulty. The car starts though.

I will have to wait until Tuesday to take it to Toyota :lol:

Thanks

I am from South Africa :)

The alarm comes with central locking, though with the keys not switching the alarm on or off, neither will work. It is strange how the alarm comes on if I lock the doors Manually with the keys and then when I open the door with the key, it makes a huge (alarm) noise, and I can not switch it off.

Any ideas. The 160i Gle has the 3ZZ-FE engine.

Thanks :D

Merry Christmas :D

I am from Johannesburg. Yes the Toyotas are expensive here, inspite of being produced in SA.

I believe that the 3ZZ-FE (1600) engine is the same as the 1ZZ-FE (1800), exept for the difference in displacement.

Are there no Corolla 160i's in Australia

So - does anyone have suggestions regarding my alarm debacle, since your cars are essentially the same as mine :)

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!
