  2. Day job for a dash out? Which dealer did you send it too? Its not a day job to remove the dash...the whole dash out - dash in job should take no more than 3-4hrs tops Min took a day and a half at Sydney City Toyota alan
  3. I bought a Honda Accord Euro Luxury with Sat Navigation. There isn't a single rattle in this car at all and there is no guess how well this one is put together not to mention the quality materials in it. But Kudo's to Toyota Australia for finally ending my 10month nightmare. Details on exactley what transpired at the end are confidential but lets just say i am a happy man, finally. The honda is very well built I test drove one last week very impressive esp the 6 cylinder accord
  4. Two day job dash out and new clips now quiet! Like new again alan
  5. two days but they say that three is possible in case of problems when the dash goes back in alan
  6. Engine is great it is just the interior etc alan
  7. Does it sound like its the very front of the dash? Mainly on rougher roads? kinda sounds like the dash is hitting the windscreen? Yes that is it Its worse also when cold Toyota are doing them allnow if you have the road test first alan
  8. had the car road tested Toyota have issued a recall on all cars with a certain type of rattle ( mine has it) It is due to the clips that hold the dash to firewall expanding and then the dash is free to dance about So its a two day dash out for job mine alan
  9. Is the respray going involve taking the bumper off I was quoted 500 with the bumper off also to re rust proof the front of the chassis rails as this was removed as well funny as I was given corrolla as a loan car did not scrape on my steep drive way at all!!!
  10. I get the same as you! even with 98 RON
  11. When I lived in the Uk my company had 4 lexus IS250s Three of them had rattles that were never rectified in spite of having had the dashes out etc ..one car was returned for a full refund!this is a lexus toyota problem that really lets the brand down ...even my son's 18 K suzuki swift is rattle free!! alan
  12. Hi Well after 6 months of quiet motoring my dash has developed the dreaded rattle I phoned the dealer and was told there are two rattle fixes one is on a recall , I think. They said they will road test and if it is one type, its dash out and two day jopb else its a small job ( an hour at most)anyone had similar experience alan
  13. the aurion uses a different type of oil filter... the casing is re-usable, so why you would damage that if you didnt absolutely have to is beyond me... Lol. I'd love to see someone manage to shove a screwdriver through the oil filter cap on the Aurion. Speaking of which though, you if you plan on doing the oil change yourself, you're best obtaining a cap-style oil filter wrench like this: http://www.toolsource.com/toyota-filter-wr...m-p-100298.html Thanks that is the part I looking for will order one alan
  14. Toyota replaced mirror under warranty alan
  15. HI Does anyone know if there is an alternative tool tah I can buy to remove the oil filter thanks alan
  16. I have it got the dealer to swop it for me much more upto data better all round alan
  17. You need to add the Moonroof to the poll as mine rattles like crazy
  18. Thanks I will press them it is amazing how they always make out that you are the only one with this problem!!
  19. HI When I put the car in reverse the drivers mirror moved down corrctly than stuck in that position when I engaged drive. has anyone had the same problem I phoned Toyota who seemed to feel this was not a warranty issue..in a car that is 6 months old!!! The passenger mirror in fine
  20. HI I have quite a steep drive way For the first few weeks no problem then yesterday as Ipulled onto the road the suspension made a very loud clunk..I thought that I had hit the suspension or exhuast but they were clear ..not bottomed out..Has anyone lese had this sort of noise when cold... alan
  21. The map itself is more km, more roads ..... like any Melways, Sydways, BrisWays (do they have one ...) ... updates - The software to run it is another story that why Toyota has 2 vendors for one DVD map - The map is not big (not xxGb thing - Garmin users can download V14 very quick and they have 1 year upgrade plan too). The software is where they make money, and you can not copy software (the DVD), it simply won't run. BH I am still annoyed that as I only bought the car two weeks ago they did not giv eme the new software alan You didn't mention whether you had already asked them for an upgrade disk but, if they have declined to give you a free upgrade, I would not be letting them off that lightly. Toyota has known about the upgrade for several months and several dealerships have been selling them for the last couple of weeks so there is no question about their availability. Toyota have now given me the upgraded disk As above 20 secs to load will try it out today..pity still no cameras alan
  22. I've already had this same done with mine. It was a VERY annoying rattle in the aircon ducts although it appeared to be coming from the right hand dash speaker area. The dealer completely removed the dash and modified something in the the aircon duct and it's fixed the problem. This kind of rattle should not happen with Toyotas! If I'd wanted problems of this nature, I would have bought another Ford (PS that will never happen ). Two months old and mine is quiet but my company had 4 lexus IS250 3 of them had the dash removed for rattles They put new clips on the bulkhead and they were more or less OK seems a toyota groupd common problem! Also had teh vetns re packed to stop middle vent rattle Overall the Aurion so far seems BETTER built than the Lexi!!! alan

  24. Version 14 was released in late October I bought a new Presara last week and it still has the old mapping software I think it shoudl be a free upgrade 400 dollars on top on a new car is a bit rich! alan
