  1. no...it only 50k , it is ok. you can use 30 oil until it reaches 150k. then change to 10w40 but now i use 10w40 at my 60k yaris because i have a lot highway driving.
  2. I bought the car without manual and service book provided. I can see the current coolant is green which is definitely wrong. Toyota said pre 2003 echo fitted with red color long life coolant, and post 2003 echo use pink color super long life. Was wondering if i could use pink color instead of red on this 2000 model. The pink color coolant is premixed so easy to apply.
  3. it is 12 years old, and i got for two years, thought should change
  4. Hello, could you also PM me the link for the manual I have a 2000 echo. Thanks.
  5. I just changed my tyres in Kmart Auto they put in 40psi. You can not get even wear if you just put in the manual recomm.
  6. I have just have my car serviced and found the oil is above the max by 1cm. It should be put in 3.7L but the tech put in 4.7 I think. Is it matter?
  7. Hello all I have a 2000 Echo and need to top up the brake fluid (between middle of min and max), was wondering if I could mix up with the brand, I do not know what the brand of the brake fluid the previous owner put in. Is it must be dot 3? If I need to change it, how much fluid do I need? And is the 2000 echo using the super long life toyota coolant or just long life toyota coolant? Tq.
  8. get to used to yaris manual car
  9. I would think it is common problem in Yaris. At least I see two yaris has rust on the same area and including you thats three. I went to the dealer they said it's OK to leave like this.
  10. My yaris can fold manually. And I know some overseas market yaris such as China has electric folding mirrors.
  11. I usually change gears between 2000 and 3000 rpm and sometimes 3000-4000 when first to second or 3000-4000 when second to third in order to catch up the traffic. And you will find there won't be so much fuel difference when using high revs or low revs to drive for this small engine 1.3L.
  12. just like above owner said, before Oct 08 release, yaris has one reversing light, another is for fog light. After that date, new production take off the fog light due to cost reduction.
  13. I bought two head sensors from toyota at the price of 245 including installation and painting. For a small car like yaris, two head sensor is enough when parking.
  14. Thats the difference of the manual and auto car. I drive a manual 1.3 L yaris, I constantly get 600-700 km per tank, that is average of 6.5L/100KM. Even in summer with 90% AC use, the fuel consumption also returns under 7L/100km, and no matter how deep I kick the pedal the fuel won't affect much. The worst fuel consumption I got is 7.5L/100KM in summer and heave traffic jam, the best I got is 5.5L/100km on highway. I drove a 1.3L auto yaris before on 90% highway around 1300KM and 10% city suburb. I was shocked it returned 7-8 L/100KM.
  15. what I can tell you is my friend bought a new corolla with window tint floor carpet automatic prestige paint at the price of 22,700. So keep bargaining.
  16. Hi, i owned a year 2000 echo and have only one black key (non-remote, i assume black key is the master key, am I right?). I am going to buy an aftermarket blank key from ebay but I am not sure whether 2000 echo has 4d or 4c chip inside the key OR Australian market echo requires another special chip? Anyone has any idea on this? Thanks. I also find something interesting. My 2000 echo key's blade is more like the daihatsu's key blade. Below I attached the daihatsu key seller and picture. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Daihatsu-Transponder-Key-Blank-TRANSPONDER-CHIP-/200618122345?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item2eb5c59c69
  17. Thanks, man. My car is under 20k,and still under new car warranty. I complain the issues twice when I took my car to sercive, but they did nothing. Another thing I complain is that when everytime a/c is used, I stop the car in front of the traffic light, the revs will go down to 400 rpm first and then back to the normal 700 rpm. And I can feel the engine shaking from the brake pedal. I talked to them re this problem as well and they said it is very normal for a small engine capacity car. Well, what can I say to this dealer? The dealer I go is one of the largest toyota dealers in my place probably ranking either one or two. I really hope somebody from the toyota corporation management could see my post here and indicate me the action I should take.
  18. Hi, everyone. I have a yaris. There are two problems annoyed me so much. Sometimes when I use the first gear I could hear graunching noises. Also, graunching noises could be observed between first and second gear change. This problem does not always happen but have 30% chance. Secondly, everytime when I start the car and move it use the first gear, I could hear a metal knock sound from the bottom of the car, probably underneath the engine area (especially the cold engine start). If I do not switch off the engine, the issue does not happen again. However, after switching off and restarting, yes, I could hear the metal sound again. Last service, I told the problems to the toyota. The mechanic had a test drive and also heared the graunching noises but he said it is very difficult to locate where the problem is. SO, what are these problems? What should I do? Thanks a lot.
