No need, there is a service door behind the right hand side wheel guard and unbolt one of the engine mount should give you room to access water pump.

I found a video on YouTube using the service door:

Anyone in the Brisbane area found a mechanic to replace a water pump at a reasonable price?

What you are after is an automatic transmission specialist, as it is quite a specialised repair task.

Someone qualified to inspect and repair it.

After my post a year ago, the lag has become significantly more noticeable. As stated by many others, it's while on first drive of the day.

Anyone have anything new they can share? Maybe a suggested mechanic in the Brisbane area.

I think I was previously counted, too. I'm not going to be buying one.

BOOM!

I decided to try the ODB programming tool on eBay, along with a FOB I found there. I was able to add another FOB for less than $200. I still need to get the key cut, which I was told could be done for a bout $38.

The instructions on the eBay listing (See link above) didn't work but I did end up getting it to work. I simply plugged in the ODB module, I sat there rereading the instructions and it went through the beeps without me using the START button; all within 10 secs.

The SEC light starting blinking, I placed the two FOBs on the START button within five seconds of one another, waited another 10 Secs and SEC started blinking continuously. I depressed the driver door pin-switch, as if the door was closed, released and tested both FOBs. I made sure the original FOB wasn't detected by placing it a long way off, everything works with new FOB.

One more thing, when I ordered the FOB, I was told I would be sent FCC ID: HTQ12AAB IC:1551A-14AAB but was actually sent CMII ID: 2005DJ1817 Model: 14AAS-01 (See image). I was not happy but they assured me it would work, and it did.

And which unit you want to purchase?

Thanks for replying!

I'm interested in the 10" Android model: http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/Toyota/GB5502.html

Really? No one has access to technical documents on these cars? No one is a mechanic for Toyota?

No one has an older version of Satnav Maps?

How'd you go with this?

What are you trying to do?

Does anyone have any documentation or drawings for '08 Aurion Presara electrical or CANBUS?

Secondly, My Satnav is on v14. If anyone has a newer version they'd like to move let me know.

Finally, anyone successfully added remote start to a Toyota with push-to-start?

I don't see how a grease kit is going to take-up the play in the steering that I'm feeling.

Genuine toyota shaft grease kit. $10.40

What's the eMail address?

Hi everyone , true to form Toyota sent me a standard email re int shaft , saying Aussie Aurions are not made the same as overseas ones and therefore there is no recall in australia, so their sticking to there warranty 3 years and at their discretion, I say to you people all who are having problems with the intermediate steering shaft, email toyota customer service let them know you have problems with it , If we dont tell them they have a problem, then they wont act. Their is nothing like people power. Do us all a favour , send them an email , regards Paul

Just purchased an 08 Presara with v14 Maps. Anyone have a newer version they would like to sell?

Did you ever find a solution for this?

A local car audio shop should be able to point you in the right direction. Otherwise, visit a car audio foum like http://www.caraudio.com.au/forums/ and maybe someone there can assist.

Have you found a solution for this?

I have an ODB2 Bluetooth module I purchased for about $12, shipped on eBay. Like this one: http://r.ebay.com/DmBka1; originally I purchased it for my Mercedes.

@EononCarDVD How many people do you have in on the "group buy"? Do they all have to purchase the same unit?

Has anyone tried to use an OBD2 Smart Key Programmer? Here's one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331468338780 For $25 seems like it is worth a try.

Ive got some spare units im selling.

Do you still have any units for sell? Price?

Can someone suggest a place in Brisbane to try?

Scratch that, I see Pedders is in the Brisbane area and several of you have had success with them.

Can someone suggest a place in Brisbane to try?

Anyone have there's steering knock sorted at a Brisbane Toyota dealer under warranty or suggest a mechanic to go to? Mine is 08 Aurion Presara. I notice it just as the cars momentum changes.

Check that the dash is not sticky.

Explain sticky a bit more?

Very helpful! Cheers...

Hi group,

I've just been perusing the forum looking for a post that lists known issues and things to check when looking to buy a used Aurion. The one I'm looking at is 2008 Toyota Aurion Presara Sports Automatic.

If someone knows of a post like this, please share a link as I haven't been able to find one.

Cheers!

Any one have an update on the issues reported in this topic?

I'm just looking into a 2008 Toyota Aurion Presara Sports Automatic with 91,000 km. When I test drove it I noticed the lag between 1st & 2nd after less than five minutes driving under 60kph.

Sounds like I may be able to have the adaptive learning ECU reset.
