  • The Suffering Topic Timing Belts

    Hello together I am happy owner of a Toyota Corolla E11 Bj.99. Only unfortunately now at 90Tkm the timing belt is due and actually also an inspection. So now the question asks itself, or let it be done. (Of course not the inspection but the timing belt 😉 ) Could someone post me a instruction how I can change the tooth strap including the tension roller etc. ? Who has tips and tricks for me ? What happens if the timing belt rinsing ? I mean there with whether the engine is over immediately or if nothing happens except that the timing belt is gone? But I want to change it all times !! so let’s hear thanks PS.: Have a air conditioning !

  • Snow!!!

    Meal, I noticed how many people waited until the last day to have their winter tires pulled on it. At all car dealers here in the area there were nasty snakes. I don’t know why so many wait until the last pusher to let the tires pull on it? I just wanted to get a liter of oil and was allowed to stand at the register for over half an hour and only because so many noticed that they still have to have winter tires. I don’t know why winter or snow is a new experience for so many??? And most of the people there could have been my parents too…………. Mfg

  • Car without TÜV from A to B

Problem: The car is not registered and has no TÜV what I have there for possibilities…. goes with day registration or with towing, or I have to load it on a stallion ????

  • Growth in size of modern cars

    I am currently looking for a successor for my father for his 1992 Toyota Camry. Actually, he would like to have a more compact vehicle, without having to go down great, i.e. it should already be middle class. Unpleasant here is the growth of the size of modern cars. Manufacturers, who no longer offer an upper middle class or never had it in the program, started to increase their middle class more and more a few years ago, so that at least in size such a kind of middle class elding between classic middle class and upper middle class. (How many ‘means’ are now in this paragraph? ) I remember here the predecessors of the current Mondeos and Passats. Toyota has still acted relatively moderate here. The Avensis has also grown, but not so dramatic. The Yaris, on the other hand, has even steadfastly refused to join the trend of small cars around the four meters and is (outside) more compact than the competition. What will the next Avensis look like, for example? Current Mondeo 4.84 m, Passat CC 4.80, Insignia 4.83 m, C5 4.78 – with widths beyond the 1.80 m. With the new EU-compliant enlarged mirrors you get ready to drive to more than 2 m. So if you like to drive into the city, into the parking garage, in the motorway construction site on the left lane next to a 40-ton boom? BMW and Mercedes are the only manufacturers who still serve the classic medium-class format (4.50 to 4.60). Even Audi is proposing that the A6 with 4.92 and the new A4 with a comparatively modest 4.70 m. Underlying classes must naturally grow in order not to create a large gap in the model range. I assume that the future compact class will move towards the 4.40. The current focus is already at 4.34 m. What do you think of the constant growth in size, which also leads to a price increase? Do you take this with you or do you prefer to (heavy heart?) a lower class, e.g. in the new 4-m small car class?

  • Toyota’s cheapest car as a competitor to Tata

    Toyota now seems to want to join this segment after many other manufacturers have rejected it: Spiegel article I’m curious how much this will be crowned by success. I’m rather skeptical about the energy prices. If you can only afford a “car” for 2000 or 3000 euros, then surely also at the gas station will have problems paying. And the ascenders will probably just skip this class of “car”. Greeting Michael

  • Brake path

    Once again a cross-brand question to the Toyota Forum expert panel with the request for friendliness and objectivity. (The former (?) braking problem of Lexus models may be spared at this point in the sense of the forum peace.) I have been following car tests for tens of years now. In the course of time it has impressed me that everything under 40 m braking distance can be considered good. Now I read more measurements, where also ‘very normal’ cars partly clearly below this size. The ‘non-normal’ VW Golf GTI Pirelli and BMW 123d Coupé were even given at ‘Adventure Auto’ at 34,7 and 35.9 m respectively. Where does this trend come from? Have the braking systems really become so much better that they are already ahead of the ever-increasing vehicle weights? Or is it because today brake assistants are used? (On the other hand, I would say that such measurements are carried out by professional drivers who know how to keep pace with the I would ask for comments from the panel.

  • Tuning Corolla

    Hello!! I will be on Saturday 18 and have my car already standing at the door (Corolla E 10, dark blue). Unfortunately I have almost no idea about cars and tuning anyway not.. I just tried to make up my car a little bit… Unfortunately I am in training and don’t earn too much, so it should be a bit cheaper… Does someone know here good Internet sites or shops in the Ruhr area (would also drive a little further away) which tuning costs themselves even more m Frame hold??? And another question, I have the Corolla in the Royal version, with the seat color I am not quite satisfied, for that there are also seat covers, but on the sides is also this ugly pattern, how can I get rid of it??? Is there a fabric cover for it or I don’t know… How expensive is the lowering, it also depends on the car??? Mfg Andrea

  • Entry time / fuel consumption

    Hello, I am now also 1.4 D-4-D owner in the new Corolla. WIe you have your drive in and how long? What do you think of the 2000km oil change history my dealer called me. So after the first 2000km an oil change is to be made. My BC shows me 6,2l with the first tank filling. But I also drove only 500km by car. It is still brand new. Does the consumption still fall after some time? To come under 6l would be great. Even if the BC does not have the correct I assume that data is delivered. Let’s see what comes out of the next tanking.

  • Climate always on?

    When buying from my Corolla, the dealer told me that it is not bad when the climate is always on. For them it is even better when it is running constantly. Is that true? In the summer it makes cool, in the winter it pulls the moisture out of the car. The coolant is always in motion. Sounds logical. Yes, I know that this means more fuel consumption. That’s clear.

  • Model name of Toyota

    Hello dear community I would like to know if someone vl would recognize this car, which I mean: I drove in UNgarn in a taxi in a Toyota with 5 doors + automatic+leather seats and I must say I’m already brand new in Alfa Romeo, Mercedes with automatic, BMW, Audi driven but this Toyota beats all !!!! it didn’t look like this:http://images.google.at/imgres?… but rather longer and at the back also rather longer e.g.:http://www.autogaleria.pl/…/toyota_avensis_2002_01_s .jpg but don’t have to be avensis doesn’t know it so pleasant and you didn’t feel anything, you didn’t feel the car driving at all, I regret it so much that I didn’t ask the taxi driver for the model. now I hope that someone of you could give me maybe some tips which it might be, if it’s a hybrid car I don’t know, I don’t know myself so well with cars, but this car now remains one of my favorite cars next to dodge vipe r and maserati lg
