hey all

when i take off sometimes there is a rattle, only at low rpm, its not a stalling rattle, and only sometimes there, sounds like a drive belt tentioner or something, it happens in all kinds of weather all kinds of road conditions, when im doing say 15km/h and rolling in 2nd, if the revs are low enough it will rattle, but doesnt feel like its going to stall..

again hard to describe, i should get a vid, hard when my iPhone only does pics

any help or ideas what it could be would be appreciated

btw how much would a new serp belt and tentioner cost??

ta in advance, Dan.

My car does the same thing. :S

As does mine. My last service I asked toyota to inspect it for me. They brought it down to something to do with the airconditioner (cant remember specifically what it was), and was going to cost a considerable amount to fix.

I find that if you give it more revs or a bit more clutch it does not sound.

well the 1zz's have a common problem with the tensioners having a rattling sound. ive never heard of it before with the stivos but im guessing it could be related..

wen i got my stivo, i made sure the sales bloke threw in the "dampener" as well.. that apparently is the correct terminology for it.

I tightened the bolts on the upper heat shield for the exhaust header on the weekend, and this has caused a new hi pitched buzz at startup and momentarily at low revs when the engine is cold. This weekend I think I will put them back to the limp wristed tightness they were at before. :blink:

I had this problem a 2003 SPortivo I owned. I kep taking back to Toyota & they tried to blame anything & everything that was modified on my car. The noise was so painful that I changed all my modifications back to standard & found that the noise was still there, surprise, surprise. I went back to Toyota & told them to keep the car until they figure out what is wrong. After about 7 working days (it was a hassle being without my car) I got a phone call from the service manager advising thay had located the problem. I was told the bracket that holds the alternator had come lose. When I took off from stand still in particular, it put the bracket under load & it would rattle. Once this was fixed probelm went way never to return. Fortunaltey for me this was all covered by Warranty.

Toyota is hopeless. All they want to do is hook the car up to a computer, if the computer says everything is O.K. than according to them there is nothing wrong & nothing they can for you. It was only though my persistance & constand arguing that the problem was fixed. I would have liked to send Toyota an invoice for all the time of mine that they wasted with their poor customer service & there biligerent attititude to resolving issues out of the norm.

I hope this helps

I'm not sure if I've got the same kind of "rattling" as you guys.

But mine does rattle from low RPM, on 1st and 2nd gears. I haven't noticed the air con issue, but mine sounds like there's a 5 cent coin rattling away somewhere under the bonnet.

Same problem? <_<

Okay thanks mate. Got a quote from a dealer up here on the coast and for them to get the drive belt tensioner part down from brisbane and fitted ill be looking at $462.12. I will also have a look for a lose alternator bracket with my fingers crossed it is that.

Does sound similar. Will have a detailed inspection when i find some time. Thanks young.

EDIT: Guys just thinking about it, if it was the tensioner wouldn't it rattle all the time?

Wow when i was first reading this thread i didn't even think that this could be the same problem that my car was having. But now that I think about it, it could be. My problem is that when I start the car and leave it to idle, the car makes a rattling noise like "young." said, a 5c coin rattling away somewhere under the bonnet. The noise is constantlly there. I can't really hear it whilst at speed but whenever i'm stopped and idling its there

I'm no mechanic so would someone be able to tell me what to look for when looking for the drive belt tensioner or the alternator bracket? (yes i know where the alternator is but not sure what to tighten)

i wonder if i have the same issue. it rattles pulling away in first gear/basically that initial period til the car has momentum. then its gone.

Another situation, approaching a speed bump in second gear - slow down, then accelerate - it makes that rattling again. Also with A/C on

i think its a bit noisier on pull away.

If u don't have it replace soonest, i guess something really nasty could happen to the engine?

Only difference is that mine rattles while moving. Throw it on N and rev it abit, it rattles away... :rolleyes:

Can this cause any damage? <_<

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      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.
