Hello, can someone give me a guide on how to change the brake pads for my D-CAT, year 06-2006? Would I really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance. versodcat07

Hello! With my Corolla E12 the track rod heads have to be changed. I ordered new ones from Bandel. On the first photo the parts look like they are installed in my car. On the second photo you see the part that was delivered to me. It is noticeable that the delivered part is only secured with a mother, while with my car there is still a splint. Has any of you had such a thing and can I build the part?

Hello all, I am a little confused about the allowed tire sizes at the Corolla Cross and hope someone can clarify me. I bought a young used Corolla Cross a week ago. The summer tires have 18 inches, the winter tires 17 inches. I thought you could invest in beautiful 19 inch rims in the future and have noticed with horror that both in the vehicle registration and in the CoC only one size is registered: 225/50R18 95V Now too my questions: 1. How can it be that the winter tyres stand on 17 inch rims? Should they not be registered somewhere? 2. Should I buy 19 inch rims, I have to register them in principle, or are there exceptions? I am a bit confused because I always thought that unregistered sizes must be entered and removed from the TÜV. On the common rim purchase websites I am also shown 19 inch rims, for which I allegedly do not have ABE , TÜV acceptance and registration need. Can anyone explain this to me? Greetings

Yesterday my wife made a little “aua” to her Verso. When she parked, she was stuck with the threshold on the right side of a hard-to-seeable stone. The threshold almost doesn’t glow at all, only minimally at the upper edge. But it is rather palpable instead of visible. What do you think, what costs such a thing? What repair method is in question? The “accident” happened on a service trip for her employer, i.e. she was on the way on behalf of the company (outside service with the private car, there is mileage of 30 cents/km tax-free). She carries out the thing today before her boss, on the Internet I quickly found some information which says that the employer has to pay the damage provided there is no gross negligence (was not available). Does someone know? Yes I know, the box has to be washed again…. Uh… picture comes immediately, must use the other browser, with Safari the upload does not work (is only MT so???)!

Hello, at the moment I drive a Golf IV TDI. But he has to go away. Would you like to buy a petrol truck now, because I don’t drive so much anymore. Find the new Auris really great. Have already done a test drive with the 1.4l Auris. The engine performance is by no means comparable to my golf, but was also not disappointed on the test track. Now my questions: Does anyone drive the 1.4l variant here? Is the performance satisfactory? Or should you take the 1.6l variant? Greeting

Hello together I finished my training a short time ago and now I want to get a new car in mid June. At the moment I drive an old Corsa A 1.2 (45hp / four-speed gearbox). Since I want to inform myself early and have already made a certain choice I wanted to hear your opinion now, if possible. Since I want to spend between 9000 and 12000 Eur and want to drive with this purchased car quite still 5 to 6 years my older choice is on a (neededed) Toyota Corolla TS 1.8 or Ford Focus ST170. Now I have already inquired in various driving reports about the 2 cars. Especially with the Toyota makes me the constantly repeating statement that he allegedly pulls at low speeds so badly (despite the 190hp) . Since it is not about the final speed I now ask myself if I would not drive better with the Ford. I will now of course try to set up test drives in the next time but as already said in advance of you maybe get a little feedback about the end speed.

Hello together, I use successor for Toyota Picnic, which I have been driving for 9 years and with which I am very satisfied. Now within the next approx. 12000km several issues are indicated: new summer tires, brakes (cover + discs, as Quietschwn through rust), clutch?, so about 2000 Euro I guess (or am I very wrong there?). The car is from ebruar 1999. TÜV 11/09 So at the present time a new car seems to me a useful alternative to “drive through and repairs”. The Corolla CV does not like the seating feeling: too deep, not this van-like overview of the Picnic. A 2-litre engine also seems somewhat more sovereign, or? The luggage compartment is quite small (in the case of the Picnic). The windows are clearly narrower. Circuit a little rough, sure familiarity. Otherwise everything ok. Good experiences with brand and workshop. Was my first candidate, however, since he did not convince me so far, the search went on. VW is clearly more expensive, about 3000 Euro. Grand Scenic is my favorite with a great sitting car feeling, but unfortunately has a lot of fun.

Good day, I might be thinking about buying an “old” Coralla. I think the most important thing is the reliability and, if possible, to be able to drive sparingly. I would like this one optically best here :http://images.google.de/imgres?… Question: which engines were freewheelers, so in case of a timing belt crack without damage? How robust were/are the 1.4 engines and can one come with very economical driving on 6-7L consumption? I have experience with a Honda Civic 1.5 V-Tec, which was sometimes under 6 liters to drive, is this also possible with Toyota or do the generally more fuel need ? Which tips/weak points is it when buying used on these models exactly to look at? What makes the E10 of E110 different?

Hello, with my brother’s Corolla (2005) the left light source for the dipped-beam is broken. The right light only makes a rather weak light and I wanted to exchange it with it. I just looked at the whole thing and noticed that there is not really much space. A look into the operating instructions does not really help, because the lamps shown there differ from the installed ones. Can one actually change the dipped-beam without big actions?

… The scenario on holiday: A trip to Croatia, Hungary with WW and then back. In -H- evening off, in the morning we wanted to buy bissel. Rein in the Verso, wanted to start … nothing. No rattling, no click, only light buzzing from behind (petrol pump). Hmm! fuses checked, actually everything possible. Then I looked for someone for start-up help. At the battery it was also not, did not bring anything. Well, then I called after -D- and made the contact to the protection letter. After about 3 hours came the Hungarian breakdown aid, with a visually beautiful Sprinter as service mobile / tow truck, the strong man got out and ……….. Now the question to you: What could that be? I write it later already, because something was new to me and happened to me again today.
