PC XT

What can we say....oh what a feeling! Good thing our battery lasted 4 years, just replaced it this week

Sorry to disappoint you guys our mat was ripped in the first couple of months of owning the "New Kluger" in 2007, Toyota will not replace them under any circumstances I gave them pictures and all..........they sux....the service sux...the annual recalls sux...Had 4 so far! DASH RATTLE OIL FEED PIPE VVTI CAMS NUDGE BAR All from a 70k car Dont get me started on Toyota's..........I will never buy one again!!!!!!!!!! Rant over Im going back to my Subaru forum now...Have a nice time here guys:D

^^^thanks for reminding me about the nudge bar recall! We all worked out that one in the in 2007.....Toyota oh what a crap feeling! good luck with your car repairs dude. My wife said she has heard the same noise once since the repair....I just dont care about it anymore, specially when I drive a 225kws forester!

I will pick it up from Botany and offer you $40....as I tried to get mine replaced by Toyota under warranty as it is fragile as plastic cheese :D They love to do the Tight arrrse thing all the time:angry: Cars out of warranty now....:o not then:angry: Any way let me know

Dont go in soft black mud with the standard tyres, you will not be happy with the results! I did it twice in the same weekend last month the road looked not too bad, the Kluger thought it was way to much for its little self to take and squealed like a pig! Sorry about the big pics darn site doesn't re size!! And this was the first time I was bogged so the car was twice as bad as the last photo, it had to be pulled out from the rear both times

Ive had mine on since 2007 and its been fine! I have also removed it then to fit spot lights everything looked fine with the design Be interested to know what they have changed

V-Power is the winner

The inconvenience of loosing the car for all the warranty work and not getting compensated by Toyota. Warranty work and the cars two and half years old with 40 K on the clock 1/ Key fob battery flat- Cheap easy fix 2/ Dash clips all needed replacing- 1/2 days work for Toyota 3/ VVTi Controllers need Replacing- +1 days work for Toyota 4/ Engine VVTi Oil feed pipe need replacing Toyota did a cheap fix on this one 20Min 5/ Whats next, warranty runs out in 6 months :o

This does work thanks!

Nice write up Taka I was wondering how to get into them, the dealer replaced our Batt last service

Thanks for that. Just won myself a bet that the Forrester was more popular than Rav4 which is then followed by the Tuscon and X-Trail. :D :) Good to see my other car is at the top of this list :D

We should of all bought Skoda's it would have been cheaper! Toyoya's name is coping a bashing over the last couple of months Its just a car to me now! I wonder how all this is affecting our resales it cant be good

I have 3 AWD's You have chosen wisely even if you don't know it, it could save your life or some one else s

Its the FULL PRICE FOR THE 40K SERVICE So if your on the Toyota disadvantage plan and you miss your due date by a month or two LOOK OUT!

I forgot I put up this thread, it created a bit of interest too. RR Im p1$$ with my car and Mr t The cars got 40k on it my wife drives it 95% I originally chose it for longevity if I wanted problems I would have picked a locally built car, my Subaru has got 100thkms on it ITS NOT PERFECT either but for the distance each has traveled I know which maker I still prefer Any way People check your cars for this noise as MR TRD said it is the problems with the intake and exhaust vvti controllers and lubrication again! Hey did the Lexus have these problems???? Some one got the raw deal I too thought it was the starter motor not disengaging properly thats what it sounds like We are going to loose the car for 2 days (no loan cars for Toyota's mistakes) and apparently it costs a bomb if its out of warranty,,,, so what next? Will be booked in tomorrow for the following Thursday The whole things just a real inconvenience that should never of happened end of story! I have a recording of it but can't up load it Error Upload failed. The file was larger than the available space It basically sound like a Diesel for a second or two on start up be it cold or hot obliviously if the oil is still up there you wont hear it
