Toyota Camry Keyless Entry Door Control Receiver
Hi, I have a 2005 Camry. The key fobs to unlock the doors stopped working. I changed the batteries but that didn't help. I tried reprogramming the fobs, no good. I was told that I should replace Keyless Entry Door Control Receiver Module. I cant find the the location of the module in my car. All of the videos on YouTube are American and do not match my car. I don't know if I am on the right track with this issue but I would like to find the location of the module in my car. I would appreciate any help with this problem. -

Have you done a search? I recently found a website that had lots of different maps, for different cars and head units, available, but can't remember it now. Herb -

Aurion "wobble"
Maybe unrelated, but check how many turns are on those wheel nuts. These cars have studs that are too short for aftermarket wheels which use acorn nuts. Minimum of 8 turns for a 12mm stud is considered safe. Also check if correct size hub ring is fitted to the back of the rim -

RAV4 19" wheels on Aurion
Have ordered a set of RAV4 Edge 19x7.5" replicas in 40mm offset. Should fit very nicely on my 2011 Aurion with 235/40R19 tyres along with using the factory shank style lugs, will update this thread as things happen. Not liking the gloss black finish, so first up will be giving it a sand with some green superfine SIA pads (600-800g) then change the finish to satin black to bring out some details in the rims Hopefully end up with a finish like this... Might throw on some retro Toyota decals for the centre caps... -

Did U try rotating the wheels front to back? Bulging deformed tyres isn't uncommon with a 200kw front wheel drive -

Steering angle fault 2021 VX Prado
Hey guys Have had the steering angle fault come up in the dash only when coming to a complete stop. When you take off again the fault goes away until the process starts again when you are coming to a stop. Any suggestions for fault finding or is this a trip to Toyota. -

Best Oil viscosity for aurion
Always want to learn more from the experts and their opinions based upon their years of experience. This YouTube video appeared in my feed. Not saying that I understand any of the this except that it makes sense when you consider that oil additives wear out or break down. I did make note that timing chains are attributed as a factor for the shearing impact upon the oil additives. I am still thinking that it comes back to using a quality known brand engine oil and an appropriate oil change interval for your specific vehicle and driving conditions. -

New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!
Got a good chance a month a go to give the beast a good wash. Sydney weather and the usual weekend jobs have stopped me from cleaning since but I also got a good chance to top up the HydrO2 coating. Decided to go for some quick shots not to far away from home. For a few months now, the car has been running a bit rough in terms of the tune. I had noticed for some time it seemed to be running quite rich, especially on cold starts where it would run as rich as 10.7:1 where as it would normally start in the mid 12:1s before. It was also showing random signs of hesitation on partial throttle in particular and occasionally moments of full throttle from a stop. All of this resulted in some pretty poor fuel consumption amongst other things but I caught up with Adam and did some logging and tuning last week to sort out the issues. After doing some driving and logging, Adam could definitely see the car was running way too rich. When checking through the tune, he also adjusted the temperature settings which now read correctly to not stop me from revving out all the way, especially when in stop start traffic or letting the car sit for some time with the engine bay heat. The main cause of the issues I was having was that the open loop tune was tuned to run too rich and the closed loop tune was over correcting too much which caused the sudden hesitation and throttle input delays. Once the open loop was corrected, the closed loop was re-enabled and the manifold pressure settings changed for when closed loop would take over as this reading was set too low. After addressing the concerns, the VVT and Lift tune was adjusted accordingly. Lift was set at 5500 RPM and has been raised to 5700 RPM and it honestly feels much better. Since the exhaust uses a 4-1 header/extractor, it really gets going in the higher parts of the rev range. Raising lift 200 RPM to 5700 RPM actually reduced the dip from small to large cam and the car feels much more linear now. After the hours of logging and tuning, it was a great result to have the car much more driveable at lower revs and singing all the way to redline when giving it a boot full. -

Classic Toyota
Hi Lou, I have a 1995 one, and it is registered as a classic. Any vehicle older than 25 years is considered a classic, so , since yours is about 26 years old it is a classic. That info is for Victoria, but I would assume the same in Qld. Herb
