1KZ-TE and 2L-T are totally different motors, which is why im after a 2L-T. Thanks anyway.
-
I would prefer a working one.
-
Might be a bit of a long shot here but anyways. Im chasing a 2L-T engine to suit a toyota surf (manual). If you've got one or know of someone who does, let me know. Thanks
-
I dare say that the gearbox input shaft seal is leaking. Should prob take it to someone who knows what their doing as it sounds like the guy your using has no idea.
-
Quite possibly its for the Spiral Cable or "Clock Spring" behind the steering wheel. Its a fairly common problem. Given its an 07 model, you may or may not get that replaced under warrenty. Kinda depaneds on the dealer I spose.
-
CT20 turbo from a Surf should di what you want nicely. You should be able to get a complete kit from an import wrecker (Turbo, manifolds etc) fairly easy.
-
The drain tubes are probably blocked or have fallen off. You'll have to pull the roof lining down to get at them.
-
The ECU has probably logged a fault code (hence the engine light) but it may have corrected itself. However the code will remain stored in its memory till its cleared but won't bring the light back on unless something triggers it. Best get it checked out.
-
A bit more info would be helpful. On your build plate where it says "axle" it should have some sort of code eg g242. If you could post that, that would be helpful. Most 4wd hilux's have do have an LSD, but as for bearings, you'll have to find out when you pull it apart. If your fitting a lockrtie, then this won't matter anyway (pinions, lsd etc) as you throw those away. Cheers

Possibly a Tie rod end or steering rack end. Could also be lower ball joint, but need more info.
-
What did you do to your car today?
WellsieTRD replied to JustinW's topic in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions
Full tank of fuel and x2 lower ball joints -
The panel shop might have put them upside down. If you pop them out, you'll see an arrow on one of the tabs that hold them in the bumper. That arrow needs to be facing upwards. Otherwise no other adjustments can be made to reverse sensors.
-
More than likely one of the door switches is playing up. Its become fairly common for ACV/MCV36 series camrys to have alarm or centrel locking issues caused by faulty door switches.
-
We have been having a few problems with the intake and exhaust vvti controlers on current corolla and kluger. Only makes the noise till it gets oil pressure then it goes away, and only on cold start situations such as early mornings or when its left sitting for a long period of time.
-
What oil do the dealers use and fluids?
WellsieTRD replied to Silver-Aurion's topic in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club
Depends on the dealer. Where I work, we use Toyota Workshop oil (which is made by Caltex), 10w30 for the vvti cars, 15w40 for everything else including diesels. -
Does your prius have factory satnav? if it does then you don't need a 2nd screen
-
Being a 3S, id be looking at the rocker cover gasket and dizzy o-ring first concidering that the leak is higher than that switch. I doubt it would be the head gasket as you would have noticed other signs such as coolant consumption.
-
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
-
Nothings been said in dealer land about when we can expect the next Prado, let alone specs and mechanicals. Guess its a waiting game
-
Yep, 05 motors are, as far as im aware, bulletproof. Only difference between this one and the later ones is that the later ones are common rail diesels same as the Hilux (they changed over about the same time).
-
Dunno. Nothings been said. Not even a word on when we can expect the next Prado so I guess we shall just wait and see
-
Yep, havent met a Rav4 of that vintage that hasn't chewed out its tyres, even the new ones do it but nowhere as bad
-
Depends on the bar, but yes the rear of the car (and some of the left had side) has to come apart to fit the bar and wiring loom and you have to cut the bumper for the tounge section if you use the genuine towbar and wiring loom. Can't say for sure about aftermarket stuff though.
-
The coolant in your Yaris is Toyota Super longlife coolant which doesn't get changed till 160,000kms logbook service. If you intend topping it up, you will need to buy some from Toyota as the stuff is premixed and using water will degrade it.
-
your best bet will to be to try an import wrecker as you probably won't get a brand new genuine one. Im fairly sure our 1st 4runners (yn61 i think) didn't have power windows.
