  11. sorry to bump this, does anyone have instructions on how to remove headunit on a ZZE122 corolla?
  12. probaby heat gun to warm up the glue, and some dental floss to strip it
  13. can anyone tell me what other differences / changes there were on the facelift model apart from the obvious lights change?
  14. ok guys, just got the car back form Toyota. they found out it was just the rear left wheel weight was loose, so they sorted that out and the noise is gone now
  15. now the ticking doesnt really go faster than the wheels, so its not as fast as say if you had a rock or nail in the tyre. but it does get faster but only by a little bit this is doing my head in!
  16. thanks for the info. the tyres are literally brand new when i bought the car, the rear tyres still have those little hairs on them on the tread yeah the sound is the same on all types on road. i tried the handbrake and brake driving yesterday. i would cruise at 50 when i hear the noise i lifted the handbrake up and the noise didnt change. also did the same thing cruise at 50 and my left foot was on the brake and it didnt change aswell. doesnt matter if the road is bumpy or smooth its always there inbetween those speeds, so i dont think its a suspension issue, because wouldnt the noise be comming on if i drive over gravel roads, which i did this morning and no noise, but i was only going like 10km/h
  17. well im stumped, couldnt find anything that would be causing the issue. ive booked the car to get looked at heidleberg toyota how much would i get stung if its a wheel hub / bearing?
  18. does anyone have instructions on how to remove headunit on the ZZE122 rollas?
  19. is there a sensor that is sticking from the gearbox? maybe the cable is loose, or the connections is not seated properly?

  21. thanks, yeah i checked for roundness while i was spinning the wheels. they are brand new tyres too, no leaks form the shocks from what i could see. i also did the hand brake test while i was hearing the sound and that made no difference, and stepped on the brake while i was hearing it aswell, still didnt go away. sucks as i only hear it when the window is down. will check the bolts now
  22. thanks robie, does that slap happen when decelerating or acceleration or both? the sound is comming form the back of the vehicle, and sounds like a CV kind of tick. took it for a drive before and it only happens inbetween 40 and 60km/h. i jacked up the car and spun all wheels and made sure they werent loose. i couldnt get any noises from it, i got under the car and nothing unusual that i could spot.
  23. thanks guys, i will try the handbrake and brake test to see if the noise goes away. tiet: the noise is like a CV joint ticking noise
  24. thanks, i only went for a short drive before only like 5 mins, couldnt really tell the heat on the rear discs properly. will have to go for a longer drive tomorrow but yeah mine only comes on after 40km/h. i have to try it when im doing like 80 then slow down with the brakes to see if the noise is still there when i brake and not accelerate where did you get your work done?
  25. I've had straight-line ticking noises associated with a loose handbrake cable, which happened after having the wheels off to do the usual inspections. Simple handbrake adjustment. I've also had straight line, speed-dependent ticking/knocking noises associated with a poorly affixed brake caliper, after having one of the wheels off to inspect the drive shaft. This generated scalding amounts of heat. After going for a drive, check the temperature of the front and rear left wheels by touching them and compare them to the corresponding right wheels (front and rear should be different temps). You'll know if there's something wrong... You are likely correct that it is not a failed CV joint. It is probably not failed bearings either, since they usually emit a whiny sound rathet than a ticking one AFAIK. i love replies like this, as its informative :D curious, how does a loose handbrake cable make the ticking noise? did your noises happen on speed dependencies? thakns man ill check it out and let you know the outcome
