This really awakened what I observed in my vehicle and a friend's own. Please my own toyota siena goes down too when ignition is off and comes up only when ignition is on.is it same with all siena sir?

My own sienna 2000 doesn't do that, a friend's 2001 sienna too is static doesn't budge. But your own Guage sensor may be different

If. It increases when you buy fuel and is always decreasing when car is in usage. A faulty Guage is not hard to spot. Will remain stagnant even after refilling or tank nearing empty.

Toyota fuel indicator Guage isn't like Honda that sleeps while ignition is off and wakes while ignition is On, whether your car is on or off Toyota Guage will remain at the exact reading of your fuel, it doesn't work with ignition or battery it is a static indicator.

Nurey,

Thank you sir, what you said is absolutely correct. I check on the the manual on line and i saw it mentioned there.

Hi Toyota lovers,
My 2004 Avensis 1azfe starts vibrating unneccesarily yesterday.
At idle it vibrates, even when parked.
In motion when I want to accelerate it vibrates too.
Also I think something is wrong with the radiator cap. While I was trying to check the radiator cap gasket/seal, the gasket/seal dropped off.
What could be the cause of the vibration.
What can I have checked.
Help a brother please

By the way, the referral was no bribe. Don't have any reason to bribe you. I'm done here

Its not what the manufacturer recommends, but if you change at regular intervals, say u 3,000 km car should run smoothly.
