Dear fellow avalon owners, i'm new to the club here (again i appreciate the approval from admin's) I recently came into ownership of in my opinion one very clean & definitely rare late 04' build Mark III Avalon Grande. with a complete and full toyota service history to back it up. Best thing is, everything works - sunroof was cleaned & greased properly on a regular basis. etc etc it's got over 200k on it yet it's still running 5w30 full synthetic, doesn't burn a single drop in between services (i mean within the exception of PCV vapours obviously, but i never have to ad

So, ladies & gentlemen... few months update. I've been monitoring my tyre life, but unfortunately i have to report the current continental tyres on my Avalon are wearing pretty averagely. There's nothing wrong with my alignment, etc - but the grip is negligible. Now the factory rim size off memory is 16x6 JJ with (off memory) 45° offset 205/60/R16 were factory fitted I upgraded to 215/55/R16 Slightly lower profile, speedo accuracy is negligible (1.48% out) Where as i want to correct that, now i can technically JUST fit a 225/55/R16 and get more gr

Hi guys, just wondering i've read forms on & off on the Avalon section but i noticed it's not quite as active compared to other threads. But i've got a few questions. Does anybody know if the Avalon has a secret/hidden cabin filter under the dash near the footrest ? Does the "Cool Air Bypass Switch" provide more air flow over the central vents when it's operational ?, or is the foam at the back restricting the fan air flow ? Does anybody run an external transmission cooler ?, applicable to A541E's 4sp auto ? Is there an extra bass "loud" mode

Hey everyone! I go by OJ, I live in Melbourne, and I currently own a 1999 MCV20R Camry Touring. I’ve had it for a few years and I gotta say, these V6 Camrys are awesome to drive, despite most people my age (I’m 22) suggesting they’re slow as hell. Have another MCV20R that’s been in the family for a long time, so when it came to buying my own daily, there really was no other contender. Anyway, I’ve recently gotten hooked on the idea of doing the old Camry up a bit and make it look a bit sleeker and nicer, so expect some questions about things like wheel fitment and swapping parts over and

I have been chasing a fault on my 2000 Avalon for 18 months (after sending it repeatedly to a mechanic for repair. The fault was intermittent engine light (MIL), which eventually came on constantly (after closed-loop warm-up). The fault was diagnosed as knock sensors (OBDII Code PO325/330). The knock sensors were replaced twice and the harness also replaced and the PCM (Powertrain Control Module - computer) was sent away for checking by a specialist. When they still couldn't fix the problem, I had a look at the knock sensor outputs on an oscilloscope. I should mention that if driving the engin

Hi all, this is my first post. I inherited a '98 V6 camry in need of repair, which has been a pet project of mine these last months, to learn auto skills. I am currently diagnosing a squel/persistent chirp from the belt area. I removed the alternator(and ac?) belt that was easy to get at, it was in good condition, the three pulleys it ran through were true and spun freely. I reattached the belt, tightened, started engine and the is noise still there. Before I go further, is it safe for me to remove this belt and start the engine? I would like to be thorough, and I am curious to know now. I'll
