Hi Have opportunity to get a 95 Vienta which has been abandoned. HAs no keys and also has an immobilser fitted. Is it possible to get it going, perhaps by getting parts from another car? Can the immobilser be bypassed or removed altogether? Any info would be appreciated. cheers
Hi all, Complements of the season ! My 95 Vienta is flat out getting 400kms around town from a tank of unleaded. Is this about average, or is it using more than it should? What do you get from your gen 3's ? cheers
If it's not the cooling system, get a test done on the head gasket. Is it using water? A mechanic can do a TK test at the exhaust to see if the head is gone. It uses a dye which changes colour if certain gases are present. Any sign of water in the oil (milky white?) good luck Mark
Sorry - finally found the right reply button! Could be a clogged cooling system. Get the radiator cleaned and flushed out. (Cheap fix) Could be a head gasket going - this engine is renowned for this. (Not a cheap fix). I've had both problems in the last 5 years with my Vienta. Yes the cooling fan is driven hydraulically via the transmission fluid. Check your thermostat and radiator caps too. If they are stuffed that will cause overheating also. Radiator caps can be pressure tested at a radiator place. cheers Mark
Does anybody know if after market code reader is available to read codes in 95 Camry Vienta? Something to plug into the car rather than reading the flashing lights on the dash? cheers
Flashed code 22 - replaced water temp sensor. Improved start but not consistently. Difficulty starting if left for 30 mins or so. Once warm starting is perfect. No head gasket issues - checked by RACQ. I need a good mechanic to help solve this annoying problem. Fuel economy much improved after changing water temp sensor also. Any suggestions ????
