i have the same problem. im thinking of finding a friend who is good in metalwork and bending up something with metal, as plastic will just break again

solution - the fluid reservoir was low, below the point where the clutch line comes in. So there was a heap of air in the clutch system and it took a lot of bleeding. Pro tip, get a one man bleeder, its worth the $17, even if you have help.

ACV36R - went on a fairly long trip on the weekend, mostly cruising in 5th, no problems. Drove to work and back yesterday, no problems.

Get in my car this morning and the clutch point feels like its very close to the floor, whereas its normally around the middle of the clutch pedal travel. What should I look at when I get home? would it be the clutch is needing to be replaced, or just an adjustment is required? I have been noticing in the past 6-12mo that the pedal is sometimes squeaky if that means anything.

I've noticed many of the XV30's i see on the road have busted bulbs in the passenger side taillight/brake light. maybe even specifically on the pre facelift ones, as the post fl have a different design. Is there a known issue with the passenger side brake light? I've had my 04 for about 5 years and have had the bulb go 3 times, whereas the driver side hasnt failed once.

sounds like a dodgy ground connection somewhere. its gonna be a PITA to find

let us know how it goes

my only thought then is the reader itself. i have this one:

hmm. I'd look more into the "ATIB 96 \n ATIIA 13 \n ATSH8113F1 \n ATSP A4 \n ATSW00 " settings and adjust slightly. Do you have the v6 or I4?

Also, are you sure you have your phone paired to the bluetooth?

My ABS light flashes too, I believe its just a bug with the connector, ABS works fine

Screenshots - can you post to imgur or something and give us the links?

assuming all fluids are topped up (eg coolant, oil etc), I would be looking at the belt tensioner (although the belt seemed to be running smooth), radiator mounts and fans, and checking the timing and spark plug gaps.

have you noticed it being down on performance or anything?

from my testing a few years ago via fuel log,

i also went from 91 -> 95 with 100km, difference,

and when i switched to 98 i got 50km more.

I have experienced very similar numbers

actually it will work, just with a slight config change:

thanks for the update, good to know

i found the issue, forgot to update

theres a little thin metal thing that slides over the upright for that the knob sits on, it completes a circuit from one side of the upright to the other. will take pictures next time i open it up.

Globes btw are T5 and are available at jaycar for $2.50 a pop - https://www.jaycar.com.au/t5-b8-5d-replacement-led-globe-blue/p/ZD0386

Well I still havent replaced my Air Selector unit globes, but in pulling one out to identify a part number, the control to select Head, Foot, Demist etc has stopped working. All other dials work, and I've checked the cables are all plugged in, but for some reason just that dial isnt working. Any ideas?

Hey guys,

I think my continuing issue of oil leak is coming from the rocker cover. I did a replacement before on a SR20DE with the help of a friend, but I didnt pay much attention to what the steps were, and what to look for, etc.

Parts list? ie do i need some sort of liquid sealant or something as well? cleaning stuff - can i just use brake cleaner?

also, there seems to be many brands available of the gaskets, SCA alone have 6, ranging from $24 to almost $70. Is there a particularly good one or bad one?

Is there other tuning/servicing I should do while its off already?

try a wreckers?

Seems to be the time for new alternators on the camry's, 3 others i know with 03-05 camry's (and me) have had them replaced in the past 12 months. I got mine on ebay, and is perfect. they're easy to replace with common hand tools too

So my dad gave me a very old fuel siphon thing, one side was short but strong and flat plastic, the other side was concertina stuff but a fair bit longer. i tried to siphon out some fuel to run the mower and the short side didnt reach the fuel tank so i decided (stupidly) to use the other, bendy crappy concertina side to get further down the filler neck. well, it broke off and has been sititng somewhere either in the filler neck or in the fuel tank for about 6 months, and i had a quick look at removing it on the weekend but couldnt see how to get to it from the boot, so im guessing i have to remove panels and/or go under the car?

In any case, I believe the MCV has a (slightly?) different ECU, along with the different clock unit, so that may be a proble, but I could be wrong.

Not answering your question here, but I use a $15 ebay OBD2 bluetooth adapter and Torque app on my android phone which gives L/100 and a whole bunch of other stuff, I log it to a csv then upload it to google drive and do some extraction from there into graphs etc

sadly the only ebay seller (only aus based seller i can see) is newtowntoyota, selling them at $2.08ea with $10 shipping! ripoff! anyone know of other sellers? i need all 5

i have the same issue and i found the panel impossible to remove. theres the heater and cooler coils at the back that i couldnt remove. got the clip undone but then theres a wire inside i couldnt seem to disconnect. im sure the bulbs are available online, if you can get to them

the force is not strong with this one
