I've had this SOUND since i bought my car! 05 stivo! just over 2 mths old!
i asked the dealer and they said its normal!
How do i Fix it????? what do i say to em????
Bring it around to my house and ill check if its the exact same noise mine had...
If it is you can take it to the dealer and tell them its the drive belt tensioner and have it fixed.... it is NOT normal.. and can possibly be causing damage
Dude... I work in preston...finish at 5pm... where do ya live??? pm me your address?

Hi peepz,
Thought of dropping by to say a BIG hullo to ya'all. Just got me a 2004 Corolla Sportivo this week and am happily packing little punches on the streets of Melbourne. This cute lil car performs not bad at all. Anyway, anyone here from the Garden State? :-)
Cheers!

Hey there! the pic u got up...is that the Stivo from Lemans Toyota? if so i had a test drive of that....but decided to go brand new 05 instead...
anyhoo...that red stivo is a sweet one!! good BUY!!!
where in melb are you from?
Hiya! By the way...I did not get your name....
LOL yea...it is the one from Lemans Toyota. Oh no, don't tell me there's something wrong with it that made you buy a new one instead??? Care to tell me why you bought a new one instead?
Well, for me, I thought if I buy a new one....it will immediately depreciate, so I thought...what the heck, just buy a near new one and at a better price (which I squeezed it out of the dealer..heh heh). Actually, I wanted to get a Celica but saw the condition of that car and said....NO WAY! So, I spotted the Sportivo and checked it inside out and test drive it....seems to be in excellent condition. So there you go...the long and short of my car purchase history. LOL
So, which part of Melbourne do you hail from? :)
Kelvin
Khuong's my name....
LoL dude....nothing wrong with the car...was in good condition....Just wanted a new car thass why...when i went to enquire about the new car...they assumed i was there to check out the used one...so i thought why not test it...after the test i told them i wanted new not used...LOL...anyways...i liked the look of the Face lift model as well and the 6 disc MP3 player....and the price they wanted for you car ....pfft.... i was better off getting a new car.
How much did you end up paying for it? from memory...they wanted $24000....
I'm from Mill Park dude...where are you?

i've had HB3's in mine, work fine.
Reason why i didn't get H11s was the same as yours. They are around, but difficult to find~
But yes, you're correct... h11's for front fogs... h3's are actually for high beam (facelift models)
Sweet....I'll get HB3's then if you are telling me they fit....
in regards to Highbeams...they aren't H7's as the toyota manual states?? H3's you say?
check with wherever ur getting the globes to be sure. i have a facelift levin, but pretty sure same thing.
The facelift highbeams are HB3's... doesn't the manual state HB3? H7 are for Low beams,
According to my Owners Manual,
Low Beam = H7----> we both clear on this
High Beam = H7 ---> your telling me H3's?
Fog Lights = H11---> you say HB3
Can you please have a look at your owners manual and confirm that it is saying the same thing? If it is, and your telling me different sizes.... then it is massive error.

The toyota ECU's can be remapped if you are smart enough. A guy in japan has done it successfully on many different toyota ecu's now (early and late), it involves desoldering the PROM, dissasembling the code, and writing your own custom software to read/write/modify the whole lot.
As for the intake air temp sensor resistor mod, all this does is make the ECU use different maps it already has stored. Some people do the mod on the THA line, some do it on the THW line depending on what correction map you want to use.
The ignition on the 1ZZ can be successfully changed quite easily with an emanage.
Here's one page for one of the guys in Japan that has done some toyota ecu dissasembly: http://kaele.com/~kashima/car/index-e.html
I'll find the other more comprehensive page later.
1ZZ ECU's and 2ZZ ECU's do not have a PROM which can be simply desoldered and read. The actual Engine management Program is embedded into the main Processor of the ECU.
On early toyota's in order to modify the ecu internally you needed to desolder the Processor, add a ROM Board. Now this rom board would only work if you had a base program. It is also similar to Mazda ECU's as well. The link you pasted actually has the guy doing this on an early style DENSO ECU.
In regards to putting a resistor mod onto the Air Temp Sensor....you are correct in saying it will make the ECU read maps....however this will not have any effect on the ignition timing on the car....if anything it will adjust air/fuel ratios.

HB3's for facelift models though... HB4 may fit.
How sure are you on this? FYI i have the 2005 Sportivo (face-lift model)
The manual actually states they are H11?
I'm looking to change mine but cannot find H11's in white!

I would recommend: -
Meguiar's Gold Class Dash and Trim Foam Protector.
Agreed
Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Foam Cleaner/Conditioner.Agreed
I have also used: -Auto Glym Leather Cleaner.
with average results, good for cleaning only; but go for Meguiar's Products dude.
Oh no! the secret is out! :P :P
Has anyone used the Meguiar's whipes??? I'm thinking of trying then out to see the results, I hear they are really fast to use and no mess :)
wipes are good for the area's with the holes on your seats..... cos if u use the bottle....you get exccess stuff in the holes and it doesn't wipe off that easy and you'll have white dots on your seats...
I learnt the hard way :(

My car only 1 mth old.
Best bling bling? lol... my 2 day old Sportivo Pedals..
Previous to that was a box of tissues...now...before anyone jumps to conclusions of why i have a box of tissues in my car....reason is i had a cold when i bought my car lol.
-
Ohh btw
i got the original car mats for $93 bucks! i thought that was hell cheap
and they quoted the stivo pedal set for $110 if anyone's interested.
Bloody hell! those pedals are at a good price over there in the west!
i got quoted from a couple dealers here in melbourne! one was $150+ ex GST... and the other was $136 Inc GST....
I ended up paying $122...Trade price....Free fitting cos the service manager is a friend of mine....
in regards to service cost....very interesting figures....sounds very promising....My last car "2000 Holden Vectra" destroyed my bank balance after every service! looking back over my service reciepts...it averaged out to be $250+ each service! and thats not including the major services! also...after the 3 years warranty was up...the parts cost and labour...Phwaoor! lets just say the last 2 years owning that car was a nightmare!

Well....i drive to work via a certain route every day and there are a few speed humps on the way as well....i usually clutch over the hump, switch to 2nd and release the clutch when exiting the hump as the speed slightly picks up in the way out of the hump.....
give that a go...might help....

thanks for your input coladuna and rollamods....the sound at idle is not of much concern and is intermittant.
I would like to sort that "grinding" "spraying" "loose chain" etc etc noise during acceleration sorted out...
As for that noise, the tech guy said it sounds similar to the gear selector cable noise (I haven't heard this noise before so I can't comment on whether it sounds similar or not) so they'll replace the gear selector cable to the latest spec.
According to him, Toyota Australia tried out three different types of gear selector cables to select one that doesn't make the noise.
However, he did say that there's no guarantee that it will make the noise go away. I think it's just another characteristics of the car, which I didn't accept in the beginning but now I don't mind it that much.
yeah, well...if my problem is the gear select cables...and if nothing can be done..i guess i need to turn up the stereo! ;)
Let's see what the service guys have to say at the 1st service....

Hey Guys..
I know this might not be on the right topic but it still got to do with a thing i have on my 2 1/2 week old Sportivo....
I have found that under light acceleration, between 2000rpm 3000rpm, there is a "spraying noise"...its really hard to explain...i've noticed it ever since i picked it up...
the sound can be explained in so many ways...eg "spraying noise", "light pinging", "loose chain noise" , "metal grinding"..... not too sure what it is....
I'm gonna get it checked out at first service....but has anyone had this experience?
Also...there may be a problem with my clutch...the other day when i decided to give it to my car...i felt some sort of grind and vibration on my clutch pedal...felt like i wasn't pushing the clutch far enough or i'm pushing the clutch too slow..is this the problem everyone been complaining about with their clutches?
and by the way....i've only used Synergy 8000 (mobil) and Optimax.... car felt slightly better with Optimax....Gotta try BP Ultimate on my next tank.
I think you got the gear cable noise everyone has, we gt a recall doen on that but it comes back after a while.. There is a DIY method to fix it though by using cable ties but i was told by Toyota it is not recommended (funny enough the diy method was done by toyota) so i have just gotten used to the sound now..
And how many km/s u got on your car being 2 1/2 weeks old? The stock Stivo clutch is not worth a mention imo, although i blame poor installation for the problems.
Z
i've done 1300km's...averaging just under 500km's per week....
the sound is annoying...i'll get toyota to fix the noise at the 1st service...other then that the car is sweet...
I've noticed today that there is a tapping noice from the engine bay at idle...funny enough when you clutch it...the sound goes away... ever heard of this before???
lemme know dates!
