2nd pic indicates an oil leak somewhere. I dropped front part of my exhaust. Front O2 sensor is clean, one just before cat is black.

Go to YT and type this into search engine: changing headlight globe 2016 camry. Here is a link to one video:

Because you are running in lower gears most of the time with a lot of start and stop, this fuel economy will take quite a dip. 15/100 is quite normal for this. You need to get some higher speeds and some freeway driving to increase your fuel economy. Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money. Modern cars do not like a lot of slow and lower gear driving.

Good to hear the switch is now working.

When was the last time the timing belt was changed? If not for several years, a tooth on the belt may have fallen off and caused timing to be off.

Did the sealant work and stop the leak?

That $763 is quite steep. What are Toyota dealer doing to ask such a high price, esp with such few kms?

I am sure that you will be able to locate the posts for removing and repacking the sealed idler pulley bearings. Leave it too long and you may have the added expense of new bearings.

When repacking the bearings, clean them good and only fill the cavity with grease to 25-50%, this is to allow the grease to get into the races and shells, and when the grease gets hot the grease expands and creates pressure, so if the grease is too well packed, the grease will boil over.

Had same problem with driver seat belt. Could not get a new belt. Found this place, they took the old belt and rebuilt it with new parts for $160 cash. This shop accepts mailed in belts for repair. My new sb works like new now. Over time the fibers off the belt jam up the retract mechanism, this place has the equipment to rebuild the belts. I tried air pressure to clean mine but that did not work. The shop did great work. I am going to take another belt to them soon for repair.

Toyota can help you. You will need to provide proof of ownership and ID, and Toyota should have the code for the radio.

Lock cylinder looks to be a problem. May be worth talking to a Toyota service department rep or a locksmith.

There is a bloke on YT, named Customer States What, who now works on Toyotas at a Toyota dealer in Brooklyn NY. He puts out good videos. His channel is worth a look.

Some of Toyota parts are really gouging. Guide pin boots rear calipers of my mcv20r the dealer quoted $130, none in Australia and would have to come from Japan. For that I could have bought a new caliper on ebay. Got the parts from Febest dealer in Melbourne, around $30 per side.

I got it fixed. Took the rear calipers to Melton Toyota and a nice bloke there put all the rubbers on and no fee.

You can try to remove the whole headlight assembly and then access the globes.

Hello everyone. Just replacing rear caliper torque plate boots on my Camry and cannot figure out how to get the boots on the one side. Other side caliper rebuild went ok I think. I cannot find any instructions on the web for doing this, no vids anywhere. I have an original Camry repair manual and a Haynes manual. No instructions. Drawings I have of rear caliper parts are not clear enough to show the fine detail on the small pin boots. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Febest did not supply any drawings nor could I find any on their site.

In auto terms, 5 degrees off is a lot. Straighten the metal and then do the adjustment.

My mechanic charged me $280 to do the rear valve bonnet seal. You have to take apart the manifold and injection system. It stopped the oil leak which means the engine compartment is now much cleaner. The plugs are not that hard, you need the right combination of extensions for your ratchet.

If a fuse is blown, none of the mirrors will work. Next to check is the mirror switch. The one that directs to the individual mirror.  Let us know what goes from that.

Also check out YT site called Just Rolled In. 

I would be running electrical checks on the defroster grid. Do all  the defroster lines work ? For voltage and continuity? And checking some visible ground wires for cleanliness and tightness.

Got my struts from Drive Auto Parts in Melton. $275 for front pair, $250 for rears pair. Back in 2015. Self installation.

According to the receipt he gave me he changed the fuel filter. uAlso, I just got a message from the new mechanic; my car arrived there just before and he said it was running again this morning at the tow yard. The roadside assist guy told me yesterday (and I think it was said in an earlier post^) that fuel pumps have a habit of dying and resurrecting before stopping completely? Then again, apparently there are another couple of things that can cause this. I just hope we get to the bottom of it. I haven't felt confident getting in it ever since I bought him it home from Mr rogue. [edit- strikethrough]

There are 2 filters on this car. One on the pump that is a co**** filter, and one under the bonnet. Watch out removing the clip holding the one under the bonnet. Hard to get off and will take off like a rocket never to be found again. It is a unique clip that gets the universal instruction on removing clips which is: "Remove the clip."
