    2005 Corolla Sportivo maintainance

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted · Edited by Fidz-zze

    Power steering fluid, gearbox oil/transmission fluid, fuel filter...

    thats all i can think of now...its not hard to do evrything else, just be careful with bleeding the breaks and getting all the air out of them, dont just change

    the break fluid get better stuff (you wouldnt really need to change it, upgrade if your keen), and dont skimp on the pads either.

    Where r u located?

    Ebay from perth, they have some, they look like D2's (DONT EVER THINK ABOUT GETTING D2's) i installed my own, not too hard but you need to know what your doing and have the proper tools...go pro...

    Dude replace your break pads, they probly didnt even check the pads, i do all my own servicing, dont trust those gaylords...pad, change will either fix the problem or remove the rock/debris, but because its when ur breaking itll be ur pads...easy job...

    Anyone know if there are any gauge pods for the A pillar for the zze123 runx?

    There was a bloke on ebay who did a diy job on one and it looked good....it was fibreglass, wouldnt be hard to knock one up if you have the time, helluva lot cheaper too. But i have not heard of any others, sorry...:(

    Speedo not working

    My man, I did a reco of my corolla not long ago, if your 4x4 has abs then turn the acc on and check the connections from each sensors in the wheel arches, get a multimeter and check for 12-18 volts dc on one of the tangs in the plugs. Or turn the car off and check the resistance of each wire to earth, if both are 0 ohms than theres your problem but make sure of your measurements. If there's no abs then check the mechanical linkage from your gearbox to your dash. It would most likely be the mechanical elements before it's the electrical...hope this helped any.

    Yeah boiiieee!!! This looks really good man...I'm getting some led strips for the underside of my car and then this is the next diy mod for me!!! I got the 03 prefacelift and have done the black surround mod and really like how the prefacelifts (runX) look... I'll hopefully be able to put a diy thread up too!!!

    Branno, if you can get it out...it isn't really that hard, you can drop some desiccant in it, the stuff you get in shoe boxes that says "do not eat" that will hopefully absorb any moisture left in the light after you drain most of it out. I used it when i did the "paint you headlight surrounds black" mod coz everyone was complaining about having condensation left in their headlights. It works a treat...

    Stay cool dude. Fidzze

    Device to read error codes?

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted · Edited by Fidz-zze

    Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't mind searching on eBay and here to see what comes up...but I'm not really sure of the search words i should use. What is the device called exactly? I've searched for scantool and error codes, but can't seem to find anything specific

    Haha I'm not that lucky with mechanics! At least if I know what's wrong with the car I can bring that knowledge when going to a mechanic so I know they won't **** me around

    Have you tried 'OBD' or OBD 2 or diagnostic tool? BTW what IS wrong with your car?

    Have a look at these: http://shop.ebay.com.au/i.html?_nkw=OBD+2+toyota&_sacat=0&_odkw=OBD+2&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

    Device to read error codes?

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    I've done some searching, and found out that the Sportivo is either OBD-II compliant or not...haven't seen a straight answer. Also there are some scantools you can buy, but I'm not sure what works and what doesn't.

    I'd like to hear from people who actually have a tool that can read the error codes from a Sportivo....last I heard it can cost around $300 for a mechanic to do this for you.

    My mate bought one for his commonwhore, and the sportivo does have a OBD-II plug, but the one he bought off ebay didnt have the right software and couldnt communicate with the car....my advice would be if you are buying one off ebay, be aware that some WILL NOT WORK! Look in this forum and other aus toyota forums too see if anyone else has one that you could "borrow", if all else fails befriend a mechanic with some beers and get a freebie?!?

    Front Seats

    in Corolla / Corolla Sportivo Club

    Posted · Edited by Fidz-zze

    Id say not due to the adjust handles and gears being on the opposite sides, the seat belts and the brackets would be totally different...

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

    But you might be able to change the cover and cushions from one to the other??
