Hello. I drive a Toyota Avensis T22, (key 5013, 390) 1998 ccm, 94KW, year 10/1998. The turn signal switch is broken. Left blinking goes. Right blinking is a problem. If I only raise the switch, it flashes great. But if I turn up completely (for right blinking) nothing or the relay rattles quickly back and forth, but it doesn’t blink. If I press the switch again a little down, it flashes. For a few days it only works with raising the switch (Auto So it has to be on the switch. I found out via Google that you can only completely change this part (linkbar switch or similar) (including switch for the windscreen wiper). In this context I also read something about Facelift or pre-facelift. What does that mean? I have front fog lights, which are also actuated via this switch arm. Which switch would be the right one for me? At Toyota this part should be very expensive. needed to be seen in the “bay”, but I’m not sure if I get the right one there and if it’s ok. Vehicle recycling companies also offer parts, some also with shipping. I know, these are many questions, but I’m really desperate. Every roundabout is a horror for me, and we have many of them here. I’m grateful for every help. I’ve always been able to leave on getting help here. So give your best. THANK YOU. Karsten supplement. On photos on the Internet and Toyota forum it is explained that you can remove the switch from the holder. Is that true? I would have to take off the steering wheel cover and look. Is that easy?

Moin. A short question in the round: How much does renewing the front brake pads on my Avensis T27 at the FTH cost? Does anyone have any experience? I want to have the front brake pads replaced in the course of a planned air conditioning system maintenance and disinfection (99 €). I have concerns that it blows my budget. You are always fast with some green bills … Thank you, Karsten

Hello forum, after reading a lot I am already much further. Wanted is a cheap and good used family car. The Avensis sounds good. Price up to approx. 10,000 €, model T25, 2006-2009, almost only city trips, therefore gasoline? But is that reasonable? The consumption is quite high. To me the 1.8 l, but almost 10 liter fuel is really much. Which equipment would you recommend? How many kilometers maximum? What should I pay attention to? Thank you!

Hello members, I received today an offer from a used car dealer for the above mentioned car. Now I would like to have heard your opinion and experience of the model. To the car: First registration 2006 (T25?) Model Avensis 2.2 D-CAT 177 hp diesel manual gearbox ~235,000km mileage Offer are 2.500€ + set of brand new summer tires(incl. rims) alleged value of 600€ things I noticed are following: Headlights front left was fogged 2 huge scratches on the bonnet 4 small scratches on the left rear door (probably too close to a car) We would also have it checked again at a workshop before the purchase. For me, the engine was relatively loud compared to the previous car (Golf 4 – 1.6 -101 hp – petrol), is that normal? Would you buy the car for the money or would you still have room for negotiation? Thank you for your opinions and experiences.

Hello I am in despair, because my Toyota Avensis has for some time a permanently flashing motor light. By changing the lamda probe the error code P0051 has disappeared but the P0766 really makes me think. I was already close to Toyota, they then after considerations (because they did not know the error code themselves and the 2.4 in the version was also uncategorized to you) removed the oil tank of the automatic transmission and cleaned everything because of possible dirt paticles. ..only unfortunately that didn’t help anything and the workshop master doesn’t know how and what and about it I’m really mad because the Toyotos should know best. Now it’s out what it was just really sad why Toyota didn’t find out at the time. I brought my car to an automatic gearbox specialist in Dresden and he found that the solenoid valve works great, but the 5 gear does not switch. the oil change from Toyota was definitely slammed, because with such a black oil and the grids in the oil tank a hint of a mechanical story should have come in any case. At the end of the song is that the gearbox has driven itself but in good German also seems to be scrap, because the couplings have burned and what I know. Now the question is where to get replacement, because the gearboxes with such an excoten are not available at every corner and at every dealer… one of you an idea or someone knows who to turn to to get a gearbox for a Toyota Avensis 2.4 163 PS BJ 2004 5-speed? I am really annoying at the end and only disappointed and would be grateful for any help. MfG Ronny

Hello, everybody. Have we got an Avensis T27 now. My question: The car locks the doors after the start of the journey. When stopping and getting out, only the driver’s door can be opened from the inside, all other doors remain locked from the inside. So no more doors can be opened except the driver’s door from the inside.! What can you do? Is this normal? Thank you

Hello, Slowly we don’t know any more with our Toyota Avensis T27 bj. 2009 113000km running power. After the brake caliper on the rear right (passenger side) has given up the spirit and we have replaced it with new ones. If the brake disc gets really hot (hotter than all the others). Brake fluid was replaced immediately. After 1000km again brake caliper changed (was suspected of defect in the brake caliper). Problem remained. Brake fluid changed again and there came dark Bre Then both rear brake calipers of NB Parts were replaced before by Bosch and brake discs/brake pads. Now the two rear discs are getting hot. Brakes were also reset with computer. Does an idea have to be taken into account? Can there also be a problem from the electric brake? Addendum: You can also notice with rear tires when turning that they hang something.

Hello, I would like to buy a Toyota Avensis 2,2D-Cat with 177hp. When the engine is idle, there’s something going on in the engine room. Sounds as if a plastic flag is clapping on a wheel. When I kick the clutch, it’s going to be less/goes away (I couldn’t hear that much anymore because the salesman had the door open). He said that this was the backlog and only a beauty defect, which lasts forever. During the test drive I saw blue smoke in the rearview mirror. The car has a very good equipment, 100,000 km, year 2005 and is supposed to cost just under 11,000 euros. Now I really don’t know, you can buy it or rather get your finger off. Thank you The New thowalu

Hello I have seen an offer for a Toyota Camry XV40 2.4 hybrid from 2008. As far as I know, this model did not exist in Europe and also on the pictures (tacho etc.) one can see that it is a US vehicle. Apparently it is first-hand, with a little over 100k km and fresh TÜV. Basically I like Toyota very much and also from the hybrid system one hears only good. I think this hybrid system is similarly reliable and economical like the one of Prius/Auris? Do I have to have something specific Is it a US import? I only know that you usually don’t have a guarantee for imported vehicles. What about backpacks? Is the one used for import vehicles and can you see somewhere what happened with this model? Can I assume that Toyota (Hybrid) is typically very reliable, robust and has a low consumption (for this size)? And: How much would that be rough for you?
