I am getting prepared for the coolant flush, initially I thought that there is only one plug under the radiator (the yellow one) but then came across that there is one more, somewhere in front of the oil pan.... Is that the case? Right now Red Coolant is on sale for $20 long life 8 years on their site it shows 6 but once you go to the shop you find that they sell 8 years long life.

Well, once you receive it, just let us know about the filter and if you like it or not.

What was the reason for canceling the order? I have the same filter and very happy with it.

To get access to those clips you need to remove your wheel first then your wheel arch, it is an easy process it will take you a few hours to fix it.

I got recently LED lights for my Aurion and can highly recommend them:

Get this one instead: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Carbonized-Carbon-C35667-NEW-Durable-Cabin-Efficient-Grey-Air-Filter-For-TOYOTA-Tundra-Tundra-Yaris/32621932443.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.272.l8iIVY

Which ones you are looking at?

Look you are right and I'm with you on this 100%. The same problem goes for cyclists, now everyone got those super bright LED lights on their bicycles. And instead of pointing them downward, they put the light beam straight ahead as result blinding everyone in front. It happens to me all the time, when I go for a run in the evening, along the Yarra RIver, here in Melbourne.

Those DMEX D5X are very good choice. They give around two times more light output compare to the stock halogen lights. The led fog lights will fit in your ATX with no problem. Just don't expect too much light from them, the amount of light is about the same as stock oem lights but instead of yellow you get white beam. It will not light up the road on its own at night. I think the fog lights are more for decorative purpose than practical. If you get DMEX D5X for $43 USD, when it will be on sale, you will be quite surprised and have a big smile on your face. The fog lights I got on special, the eBay gave me a $20 promotional voucher, so I thought why not. If you decide to buy just wait a bit for Ebay promotion/discounts, like 10%-15% off Ebay store wide. Keep your eyes open on Oz-bargain website for updates.

Today received LED lights and installed them this evening, to me it has perfect light beam just like the original and it should not blind other drivers. I believe it is made at the same factory as famous LED lights in America Xenondepot, but at half price. For parking lights I got these bulbs and for fog lights I got this. The high beam, I have not changed yet as I am not using it as often, probably get another set DMEX D5X as it is going to be on sale in a few days. I think the DMEX led lights very good and easily could be installed in the fog and highbeam. At the moment I'can't guarantee their longevity, time will tell how long they'll last.

Where is the damage? Looks like new to me.

At the moment Japanese manufacturers going through hell! Subaru recall Kobe Steel scandal Nissan recall

I was changing the brake fluid to Penrite dot 4 and inspecting the pads as well. This was my first time and I found it was more challenging than replacing the ATF. All that area covered with dirt and dust, so it took me some time to clean with a brush. Then pumping that fluid out was another challenge . The brake pads still got some life in them but need to grease calipers and pistons. Now I have to go back to lubricate everything with the Bendix ceramic lube, which is made by Permatex, just got it from Repco for $6, three packets. I also doing sound deadening on wheel archers and doors at the same time. And changed the fog lights to Lexus led type

This would be a good watch: For some good reason Toyota Aurion/Camry range are not effected. http://recalls.toyota.com.au/#/ https://www.productsafety.gov.au/products/transport/cars/toyota In the Australian market, approximately 546,287 Toyota vehicles are involved in the recall.

I'd say just take it easy and do it yourself, in that way you'll learn something new. Just watch a few videos below a few times and you are good to go. Just do it! Once you done it, share your experience with us. That's why, we are here, help one another. That panel, you also can take it off first, it holds by a few screws. Once you get the idea how to paint that scratch then it will be easier for you to do all other possible scratches or dents later on. I personally would not go to the paint shop for a small scratch to paint over.

Is it safe to clean this area with a brake cleaner?

I got that wrench from Aldi for $30 and it is very good quality. And thank you and all others for helping out

Ok, finally I've assembled everything in one piece! I've managed to put back the rubber ring, at then end I got around 4.35L of ATF and I put back 4.4L. In order to get that amount of ATF, I jacked the car about four times. I've used the garden hose for pouring the ATF, which is 12mm in diameter and it fits perfectly. You don't need to raise the engine! Just apply my method, hold the key upwards and turn with the spanner on the other end, that's all you need to do, to open that bolt. And do the same to screw it back in. If you want to get more ATF just lift your car a few times and wait for about 30 min in between. To open the ATF bolt you will need 24mm deep socket drive. And I want to encourage everyone to change their ATF, there's nothing to worry about, If I did it, means you can do it as well. After doing this DIY I've also build the confidence with servicing my own car.

Remove the door trims yourself again, and I inspect all connectors and wires. Report back to us

Ok, thank you, I'll get this kit then.

Excellent workl! For changing brake pads is necessary to use a disc pad spreader?

I just want to confirm if it is ok to use this part of body frame for jack stands, I pointed with red arrows. I have jacks stands as in the photo below and I feel that one day, I 'm going to bend the pins which are recommended to be used for jack stands in the owner's manual, so I am looking for something more solid to put my jack stands for front and rear side of the car.

I also just realised that my new ATF replacement filter did come with the rubber ring and I thought that I've forgot to place it, however once I put it on, the filter was not going in, so I placed the filter without the rubber ring. That's why I was removing the pan again.

Ok, I just went to my local fastener shop and they gave me M6 x 12mm for $1, by the end of the week I'll try to see if it fits or not. To me it looks like a good match. You can get it here as well just select M6 x 12mm, note, it is without the washer. And another thing is that I opened the pan again and got out another 850ml of ATF. All together I have 4.1L to be replaced. So far I raised car about 3 times. Every time you raise the car you get about 500 to 800ml of ATF.

Very good thought! Which one do you think will fit?
