TRD69

They gave me new rings and when i asked is this the recall they said yes. I placed the new rings inside and now the caps never spin, they're like glued,

Thanks for the replies guys.

yeah i was guessing it was fake due to the price. i contacted the seller who advised it is a genuine TRD item just not made for the aurion but will fit the aurion.

That sounds a bit suspicious, even if its not for the Aurion one would think a genuine TRD item would cost a lot more

my thoughts exactly, oh well $35

I just bought one of these and want to know if its fake or a genuine TRD oil cap.

I received the oil cap today, and found the decal sticker to be detached. I'm not sure if the genuine ones come like this, i've also uploaded a pic of the item sent to me.

Any info is much appreciated!

edit: forgot to mention the decal has a 3m backing which i peel off and stick to the cap.

Thanks

Nice vids guys! Hearing these makes it so tempting to get some exhaust work done.

hi all

i've been searching around for good toyota mechanic / service centres in western sydney and havent found much on the internet. i'd liket to avoid dealers if possible due to costs.

if anyone knows any good place that wont hurt the pocket too much, please let us know.

kind regards

jack

that explains why i havent seen him on for a while.

nice to hear, so how did you go on about it with toytoa?

will try get hold of another ligther from another car and see if that works. if not i'll have a look at the socket as graeme mentioned.

thanks for the quick responses!!

Hi all

i've just notice my cigarette lighter doesnt seem to stay in when i press it. in order for it to heat up to the point it could light up a smoke i would have to press and hold it in place for about 10seconds or so. not sure if this is a safety thing they've introduced? if anyone could kindly let me know would be great.

thanks!

looks s3x man!

so i'm guessing you had other stuff done and at the same time the handbreak.

thanks man!

Took my TRD to toyota yesterday, got it fixed.

Now i just need to hear 3 clicks and it holds solid

Nice, do you know if they repalced anything? and how much they charge?

cheers

same can be said bout yours bro!

Saw kreezy I think the plates were on railway st, rooty hill

Get them to adjust it properly

Tell them to take the rotors off and give it a good clean + sand the shoes down if needed and free up the little gear

Also how many clicks can you push it down to with your foot? And I don't mean standing on it and using all your force, just push it down like you would normally and count how many clicks

It should be around 6-10 and the handbrake should hold with that amount of clicks, ie you shouldn't need to push it further down to hold

EDIT: If its too tight already, tightening the cable will only make it worse

Most likely the shoes are not adjusted right

I counted this morning and it clicked 7 times, pressed harder and theres no click.

3 clicks? Are you sure they didn't tighten the crap outta the cable?

Ideally it should be somewhere between 6-10 clicks

Simple way to adjust them is to first loosen the cable, then adjust the shoes and then tighten the cable to take up the slack

You may be better off taking your rear rotors off and cleaning + giving the shoes a slight sand though before you adjust them

they adjusted the teeth gear thing so that it should hold after 6 clicks and its really firm when you push down. i'm saying 3 clicks is already tight compared to what it was before they adjusted it. might ask them to adjust the cable too then.

^ They're not doing it right then

If its done right then it should hold uphill or downhill unless your handbrake shoes are worn out

Yeah maybe they're not. After they tighten the foot brake it becomes hard to push after 3 clicks, but the car still rolls back..

Might look into replacing the shoe

Definitely not normal, handbrake should hold on an incline or decline

Shoes probably need a good clean, champfer and adjust along with the cable

A good reason why your handbrake won't hold is probably because they've only been adjusting your cable

The adjuster or whatever its called on aurions and camry's has real small teeth and always gets seized, so people never adjust the shoes and just keep tightening the cable, stretching it over time

for me it wasnt the cable being adjusted, i believe they tighted the gear thing for the shoe
