okpara ugo:Thank you very much Ugo. This morning i decided to take the car for wheel balancing and alignment. Guess what! the jerking disappeared. My car now runs very smoothly again. For a week plus now i have not taken the car to a car wash and it is really dirty. I will take it to a car wash today after close of business. It deserves a clean look again after coming back to life. 5 Likes |

Toyota corolla 2007 LE V4 1.80 Bought this car in August 2011. Apart from routine maitainance, it has been start and go. I use quartz 7000 oil every 3months 4 servicing. Since d past 3 months d engine sound has become weak especially when idling and driving at low speed. Mileage is 128003. Is there any special servicing it needs or do I need 2 replace d engine? I love d car, though. |

Hello car gurus, I use Toyota camry 2000 model, 2.2 engine, 4 plug, 70 litre capacity tank. My question is how many litres remains when the indicator light for low fuel show up? There was a day I added 10 litres when the light showed up, later I decided 2 fill up which consumed 62 litres. Now, if d capacity is 70 L, d reserve with d 10 L Fuel I added would not hv taken more than 50 L. Or is there a reservoir appart frm d 70 ltr written in d manual or is d fuel pump adjusted? I am using d car for 7 wks now. 1 Like |

I am using d car for 7 wks now. You said you had 10L inside before adding 62L. That will give a total of 72L so I dont understand your question. You must have used like 2L from the initial 10L before adding the 62L...... Its simple maths. |

I'm not a guru, but with my limited knowledge I think Avalon is bigger than Camry. 1.8, 2.0, 2.2L are engine capacity. I dont know the differences in detail but i'm sure they are different engine capacities.. |

timbros:I added 10 litres plus the more than 10 litres reserve ie more than 20 litres. If I now added 62 litre, it will then be about 80 litres instead of 70 litres capacity of the car. |

docadams: Toyota corollai use a 2006 camry. was initially using quartz 9000 but changed to quartz 7000 because of the price of 9000[8k]. i used quartz 7000 once and i had the same problem. i felt like my car engine sound changed so i changed back to quartz 9000. i dont think quartz 7000 is meant to be used with toyota salon cars. either upgrade to quartz 9000 or completely change to mobil. |

This toyota owners forum has gone really quiet. Where are you guys? U dont have to have a complaint or an issue that needs sorting out before u come here. if u got any new knowledge about ur car or any other toyota, u can share with others here. [i][/i]Rocking my 2002 big for nothing. Don't listen to what anyone has got to say, the car is a keeper. All u have to do is treat her well enough and she isn't demanding like a girlfriend.  2 Likes 1 Share |

CAR GURUS, PLEASE I WANT TO PURCHASE A 2003 XLE MODEL OF TOYOTA CAMRY AKA BIG DADDY, HOW RELIABLE IS THIS CAR COMPARED TO THE 2001 MODEL, AS PER THE BODY STRENGTH, DURABILITY, FUEL CONSUMPTION, ACCIDENT RISK, MAINTENANCE ETC. ADVICE PLEASE |

sweetboy4jesus:Am a Toyota Camry user precisely 1999 (tiny light). In terms of ruggedity, big is no where to be found, big daddy has no second hand value, it's just a product of Toyota. My candid advice, go for 2001 model(droplight) |

ATTN ALL #TOYOTA CAR GURUS ***URGENT HELP NEEDED*** camry 2004 -xle i4 2.4 big daddy I got this wonder on wheels some 6mths ago its a beauty to behold and pleasure to drive..however d engine doesn't seem to hold oil for long especially after journeys! I do a 450-500k return trip every other week and after every such trip my engine oil fall short! Before now I have tried different oil brands (20w50) they all fell short after the trip recently I got the recommended oil (5w30) milemaster from konga and hit the road. Lo and behold a check on the dipstick the next morn was a nightmare. it had fallen short too ! p.s there are no oil leaks beneath the engine and tail pipe doesn't smoke and check engine light is not on. |

Following the thread's recommended format: Model (multi-user household): RAV 4, Corolla, Camry Year: 2008, 2006, 2012 Engine: 2.0?, 1.8?, 2.4 Transmission: automatic Not much going on in this thread. As someone said - maybe its because Toyota problems are few and far between...  There may be some truth in that. Apart from a failed differential (replaced under warranty), a faulty fuel gauge sensor (left me stranded on the bridge  ), worn stabilizer bushings, warped rotors (dealer's fault ) and a clogged fuel pump (my fault for regularly running low on fuel), not much else has gone wrong in 6 years of ownership of the RAV4. Not bad for a car that's been driven hard in Lagos traffic, off road and across country. The Corolla has had no problems apart from a leak in the fuel hose. Zero issues with the Camry.Toyota works. Damn reliable. No complicated electrics or electronics hell, no mechanical failures. No overheating madness. The cars just wake up in the morning and do what they are asked to do with no fuss. Japanese quality control is a wonderful thing. 1 Like 1 Share |
