Where did you get the controls?

I got them off AliExpress website. Search for Camry controls

Toyota did introduce an upgraded version of the idler pulley to address a squeaking noise issue with earlier versions of the 2GR-FE engine.

I have not had to replace the idler pulleys but I have re-lubricated them with silicone grease.

How did you regrease them? Did you "inject" grease into the bearing shield?

There are two idler pullies as per the diagram. 

I haven't had to do mine, but I suspect the Idler pullies are the same. Tensioner pulley differ to the idler pulley.

I would've just done the whole lot while you were in there. Doesn't make sense changing one and not the other.

Here's a kit you can buy

1 - crankshaft 2 - tensioner pulley, 3 - water pump, 4 - idler pulley (opt.), 5 - power steering pump (opt.), 6 - the idler pulley, 7 - alternator, 8 - compressor.

 

Ok. Well, I forgot about the top pulley (6). At least it's in a reasonable position to get to. Will replace soon.

Hi,

Today my mechanic and I replaced the belt tensioner and ONE idler pulley (above the crankshaft). Is there another idler pulley to replace?

Car: 2009 Toyota Aurion AT-X. Nothing special.

Engine is quiet now but old pulley may decide to be noisy in the future. Is the top idler pulley the same as the one below?

Jave.

Does @07Prodigy still haunt these forums?

Would like to talk about this thread -

@Metal_Head This afternoon my mate and I had a go at grounding all the pink wires we could find. No luck. My DISP button was working with my old steering wheel and controls. It could be that the DISP button happens to be faulty on my new controls from AliExpress. I have managed to find a wiring diagram in these forums and will have another look tomorrow.

I got a quote of $600 to reupholster a steering wheel for my Aurion and thought, Naah.. I was able to patiently search out ebay for one off a 2017 Presara for much much less.  The idea is to get one off a low kay car as possible, this way the wheel has less handling wear and tear on it. I was lucky in the one I got was off a car with less than 60K on the ODO so it was a keeper. If you know what I'm talking about, take a look at a steering wheel from a taxi or a high mileage car.  Shiny, no textured smooth look ? That's a worn steering wheel.

After a good clean, I ceramic coated it and put it away as a spare. Some of you may remember that thread.

 

 

Yeah, I had mine upholstered for $300. Like I said, it took a while, but I was prepared to wait. One bloke wanted $450, so it pays to shop around.

Also, have you seen this?

@donnot It's a standard AT-X wheel, but reupholstered with black leather. I know, it's a bit fancy for an Aurion, but I saved up for it and I like it! Took the upholsterer about 3-4 hours to do it. I waited 2 months for him to get free time to get around to my wheel.

@Metal_Head Many thanks. I will look into this and report back.

Hi,

I've just upgraded my steering wheel in my May 2009 Aurion AT-X. See picture attached.

Now the stereo controls on the left work with my headunit, apart from the phone buttons. On the right however, no buttons work (AC and DISP), apart from the Mic button, which starts Google on my headunit. The controls were bought off AliExpress.

Is there any way to get the AC controls and the DISP button to work? I have dual zone AC installed from the factory in my Aurion.

Any advice appreciated.
