My 2010 every couple of years goes from 7 to 12-13l/h, and runs a little rough on take off. When this happens I have to get my injectors cleaned.Once I do that its all sweet and back to normal.

Go figure. yours might be a little different.

yeah i clean mine every couple of years as my fuel economy goes 12+ and the engine light comes on.

My car is over 8 years old and the battery in the boot has never been replaced.

How long do these things last. never had a battery in a car last more than 2 to 3 years.

Hi Guys,

My engine light is on , i keep reseting it but it comes back on a few days.

The mechanic said it was an O2 sensor (under the seat) changed that , engine light appeared again saying that the o2 sensor is faulty.

Anyone know what the issue could be, im just throwing good money after bad at this issue and no one knows whats causing it.

P.s fuel consumption has gone from around 7 to 11.Spark plugs o.k lead o.k according to the mechanic. I have had the injectors cleaned a few years back.

thats all i can think of now.

P.s this is an 8 year old car

ever since toyota got its hand on my car there is quite the rattle and shakes when it first start cold.it goes away when it gets warm.

my fuel consumption has gone from 6.9 to 8.6 in the past year.

Had the car serviced put its still there...

does it need a tune up before its 75k service?

in my 2010 model camry hybrid, galaxy nexus works but the new lg nexus doesn't work (well i got it to go once but after the upgrade it stopped working again!)

mixo

i know my galaxy nexus works but not my nexus 4.go figure

hi guys,

Anyone having issues with their nexus 4 and making calls with their camry(2010 model)

The phone pairs and calls but no one can hear anything during the call.

anyone can help?

Mixo

well it did matter and i got charged 454.54 for the service...

Apart from the money they had no idea about the car, told me i had 60% tread on my front tyres when they are 3 months old...

Not impressed at all.

Mixo

I dont get it?

All it does is ***** me off!

Hi Guys,

I thought toyota capped their price to 160 dollars for all services till the 60k one.

Well I went in for the 60k service and was told that its 270.

Reason beeing I was not the first owner.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

mixo

how much compared to the cost of factory fitted?

mixo

i'll give it a go and see what happens.

if i can get 6.5 I would be totally impressed!

Anything under 6.5 would be WOW moment!

mixo

seen in last another thread!

going to work there is a slight rise uphill. going home its slight downhill.

i use 91 octane. E10 not a fan in my old xr6 it chewed it up faster than 91 octane so the cost benefit was not there.

Haven't checked the tyre. they guy that put the front new tyres recommended I put them to 40 psi, so I assume thats what their at.

Also today First time i noticed the battery icon nearly empty and the engine started to rev(i was in stop start traffic this morning)

mixo

p.s this eco button people talk about. is this in the new 2012 model or on all models?

in my 2010 camry after 2 weeks of driving 6.8 is the best i have got!

you guys must be very very light on the accelerator!

mixo

I dont know how you guys get low 6's.

I have been drive for a week or so and the best i am managing right now is 6.0 - 7.2 range.

This is going work - home, 26 km round trip.

I have been very light footed.

Maybe share some of your secrets?

Mixo

p.s I have a 2010 model

got 2 new hankook optima meo2 for 110 each. seem quite enough. know more on wednesday when i get my plates!

mixo

Just bought a 2010 reef toyota camry hybrid, Seems eerrrriiieee when driving on electric power.

Going to get 2 new tyres to pass the roadworthy and get my plates on wednesday.

Seems o.k to drive. nothing like my old XR6. But then again I am looking for fuel saving now that I am older and wiser!

Trying to learn how to drive this efficiently so i can get around 6 to 6.5 ltr/100

If i can do that then this sips halve the fuel my old XR6 did!

Also seems very comfy inside as well.
