  • Can I lay that down?

    Hello dear community, I have read a lot about this car now and am totally desperate and since I don’t have much help from the outside I ask you to consult me for this vehicle here https://www.autoscout24.de/…/-a958b106-53ed-44b5-a9b4-7f2bd3b770bf.

  • Inventor of the car hybrid honored

    That was not yet known to me: “31.10.2008 – As the inventor of the hybrid drive for cars, Russian engineer Alexander Severinsky is now moving into the Hall of Fame of the American University of Maryland. This is reported by the US daily newspaper “Baltimore Sun”. After 15 years of development, the inventor emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1978 filed a patent for the prototype of a car with a combined gasoline and electric drive. In addition, Toyota will have to pay Severinsky $25 for each hybrid car sold until the patent expires in 2012. However, the question of the authorship of the hybrid drive – as with many major inventions – is not clarified. Besides Toyota and Honda, Porsche can also claim, because already in 1900 Ferdinan brought d Porsche with the Lohner Porsche the first standard hybrid car on the market. The open two-seater also had a combustion and an electric motor and could store energy in a battery.” Just google “Alexander Severinsky”

  • Axle cuffs leak – Do I have to change joints?

    Moin, my Corolla E10 has been leaking an axle cuff since I bought it. That’s about 3000km now, and since I want to change oil, brake fluid, brake pads at the back and possibly also brake drums (look at them) soon, I’ll change the cuffs there too. My problem is now: I don’t know exactly when the cuff has leaked. So how long has fat been dripping out, how much dirt is already in it. As I said, 3000km on every fold. l, at the moment the car is at almost 94700 (with 95000 oil changes – the intervals are slightly shifted due to short distance) and I bought it with 92000. Last TÜV test before was September 2003, since this has not yet been noticed (but now when buying at the TÜV test already). The big question is now: Has the joint endured this? 3000+ km with bad lubrication, possibly still dirt (is only a crack, but still… water comes in everywhere) and partly fast motorwayfa hrt. No noise does it, the driving feeling is as always, car doesn’t move… What do you say? MfG, HeRo P.S: Unfortunately, I can only open and look up badly, because I have to pay for the stage and also the parts don’t get here on the island, but only at about 100km distance or via the Internet.

  • Toyota D: Red threatens

    Quotation: The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota is struggling with difficulties on the German market. Toyota Deutschland GmbH will have to accept significant losses in profits in the current financial year 2007/2008 (31 March) and will clearly miss the net profit of last 21 million euros. “We are happy if the number turns black”, says Managing Director Markus Schrick of the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. Overall, Toyota will sell around 14,000 cars less in Germany than in the year. or. The new Auris compact model will probably miss the sales target of 22,000 cars by 2,000 units, said Schrick. Toyota is experiencing “only” what is happening to most manufacturers in the shrinking German car market: With the increase in VAT, the figures for new registrations have fallen significantly since the beginning of the year. Schrick continues to see Toyota on a growth path because the market share is climbing. Currently, this is 4.3 percent. “We have hardly touched the strategic investments, only the advertising is slightly withdrawn,” he says. Source: This should end the wild speculation and discussions about the Auris approval numbers …

  • Is driving with cruise control more economical?

    Just on the edge… who drives more armsier? Machine or human? If I don’t move my foot on the highway, then I don’t need much. Then it gets slower, downhill just faster… . How does that matter with the cruise control? It holds a blind speed or? Or is it not a noticeable difference in consumption?

  • New recall Avensis and Corolla

    Hello, for all those who are interested! For the Avensis and the Corolla Diesel there is a new recall action! The vacuum line to the brake power amplifier has to be renewed! At high temperatures it can be that the cable pulls together and thus reduces the air passage! The brake support by the brake power amplifier would then be impaired or in the worst case lifted! My Corolla is also affected by this! I have sometimes wu changes why the brakes sometimes pull better and sometimes worse! Have you noticed something with your Corollas? According to Wekstattmeister, the Corolla is affected from August2003 until including March 2005! Many greetings Corolla Driver

  • How much money for the car?

    Hello Sportsfriends, since I am currently often here at Toyota “floating around” I ask the following question here: How do you actually determine how much money you invest for your new vehicle? With me the thing has always been very sober so far. At the first vehicle that I bought shortly after my studies (i.e. with my own earned money) I did not think much about it. With the following vehicles (up to 3 pcs.) I have always checked how my salary in the meantime has changed and in the same ratio I have set the budget for the new vehicle. And from this budget I tried to make the best of it. I always got quite clear about it. And you will do it again soon. How does this work out for you? Do you do it similar? Do you buy according to current account balance? Do you choose a vehicle as you like and finance it to the hardship?
