Hello, short question: I expect to get my new Yaris on Friday. On weekends I have a little trip to the Baltic Sea. Are about 700km, 4 people and a bit of luggage. it is clear that you should not drive a new car up at the beginning, no faster than 130 etc. See besides that a problem, if I do the ride as planned with the Yaris? The car is then almost full loaded and really long on the road. Is that perhaps even good, because the Wa would I be happy about your opinions. Greetings

I have bought the Yaris so far, it is the 1.4 diesel. wanted the Auris first, but it is bigger but also much more expensive.. So I listen (exceptionally) 🙂 to my wife, because the “little” would be a wonderful city vehicle, economical and agile. what do you think, dear Yaris drivers to it? Are you happy with your “wag” well, he is not sooo small either, easy small but oho, not true ;-)) I look forward to answer(s) Gruss, John

Hello, have a 2009 diesel and drive 85% motorway. At approx. 250km he has first glowed through the filter. I already feared the worst because the consumption was 100% higher. Recently at 15000km it was time again (and certainly also sometimes in between). I am on the highway and the consumption rises from approx. 4l at 120km/h to 7-8l and the over determined 50km distance. Today early, 700km later already again. Duration again about 50km. In between the box had 10 hours s even in the thrust phase, where the consumption indicator usually goes to 0.0l, it remains on 1.1 l. Cut in the bucket. Does anyone know how often this cycle is used? I mean, I’m practically always on the track. Is this somehow measured or how is it controlled? That costs a fortune 😉 Greeting Martin

Hi, I have planned that my Yaris will get a new chassis this spring. Not that the old one is broken (the car is not yet half a year old), but I would like the 17″ aluminiums to look good. Has someone ever done such a conversion and can recommend me some manufacturers and parts? Should you only change the springs or the dampers? I had planned that it would be about 50mm lower. Between the outer edge of the wheel box and the upper edge of the tyre So it should be loose inside. Looks pretty high-legged. Greetings, Neo

Hello together! I have been in the Yaris for a few days now. Now it has been 2-3 times that when the heater heats up the car, then the front window is massively fogged and only after several minutes, when everything is really warm, gets free again. The heater is installed in the trunk and thus heats up from the rear to the front. Does anyone know this phenomenon and how to turn it off or should it be normal?! the heated air on the big, kaöten windshield knocks down? If so, why was my windshield already frozen from the inside, why does the humidity not go out of the car overnight or where does it come in? Please tell questions about questions, if jmd has had similar experiences with or without heating.

First of all “Hello!” I read a bit here as a guest and spontaneously signed up, because I have a few problems with my Starlet at the moment… Vll. has someone want to say something about it (write)… I just start.. About a year ago, he started to jerk after refueling with a big power drop whenever he wanted..According to Toyota Workshop it was the spark plugs + ignition cables, these were also renewed for “too expensive”…. ran again better, for a time.. . When the jerking showed up again without the power drop I got a 2nd opinion, this meant it would be completely the cylinder head seal… Didn’t let it be renewed… Well a good year later, I would say, he should be called “eingeruckelt”, he only zicks when turning on (whether hot or cold)…. New battery is also inside (Varta 120€), it can’t be there… possibly still gas setting? Does anyone have an answer to these symptoms? “My” workshop trau I don’t think it’s very expensive anymore because of another incident, so I don’t want to let you just suspect what to do… Puhh.. a lot of writing^^ One thing I’ve written yet. The timing belt should be renewed soon, since someone has already had experiences regarding price? I know many would say, bring it to the junk and get you another car but I love it! ^^ Happy me about Com mission Dear Greetings Kesselady

Hello everybody, I have a sad message to report. My Yaris suffered a capital engine damage yesterday on the highway and unfortunately could not be revived. In clear terms: the crankshaft bearings are broken, and according to the mechanic nothing can be saved that moves in the economic context. The Yaris is year 07/1999 and had run 182,000 km, of which I had it 70,000 km. The maintenance was always carried out and even Toyota speaks of bad luck. Toyota assumes that they would hold between 200,000 – 250,000 km, can be less, can be more. To what extent my motorway year 2007, with 50,000 km, of which 95% highway, can bear with blame no one affirms or negates. It also makes little sense to speculate about what the cause was ultimately, since it is not clear and the mileage of the engine does not allow any conclusions. He now stands with a friendly Nissan dealer and gets a new one. s heart. This has offered me to install a replacement engine with 40,000 km. With all that and all that the cost for this is 1,600 €, then the car is ready and ready to drive. I have to drive in front of the car for at least 5 years, because I simply do not know any better for my needs, which financially corresponds to my possibilities or which I am willing to pay. My future driving performance will be about 12,000 km/a. As far as so well. What do you think of the offer? r Decision for the replacement engine, for another car? Is there a better solution from an economic point of view, I found none. sad greeting Jon

Hello Toyota driver, my girlfriend needs a new car. She is currently driving a Daihatsu Cuore — very satisfied but after 11 years he has become a victim of the brown plague. I always told her the Aygo makes you most fun but she wanted a quality car. So we drove Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Seat Ibiza, 6er Golf, Skoda Fabia and finally the Aygo try. Look, the Aygo just makes her most fun, he has much more power than the almost twice as expensive Brüde r. With all the others we got bored. At the Aygo we got off with a wide grin. Of course you can’t compare the quality but the Aygo is simply much clearer and more splashy for the city. The dealer at Kreuztal has the Aygo Cool (4door) with Navi and climate new for 8960€ on the farm. What are you waiting for? What else do you have for consumption for the Aygo? What else should you consider? Is the one in Denmark or Belgium even cheaper? buy it, just like Mike Satur gets fat for 200€ into the cavities and fairyeett underbody sealing… I don’t make the mistake with the Daihatsu anymore (otherwise it would run for 5 years)…. What about the durability of the little Toyotan? (actually it’s a Daihatsu you know that exactly)….

Hello, today my Yarisa XP9F 1.0 has been hibernating. After I have installed the battery everything runs wonderfully. Jump on immediately. Only what I notice is that the handbrake is now only going to the first stop point (and not as before to the third or fourth) and with force to the second. Over time the brake discs rust (have also brake discs’ have something that would explain this problem. So I drove for a while in the hope the problem disappears Of course, the brakes became hot due to the friction of the rust on the pads. After approx. 50 kilometers the hand brake test again: Now it went already easier to the first stop point. The brake discs are also blank again. Nevertheless, the resistance does not seem correct to me. If I stand on a slight slope the car also rolls forward or back. Depending on how I stand. I thought first of all that there was a problem with the pistons of the saddle or the chip I don’t think it’s a good idea to use the handbrake cable again, so it’s almost always slowing down. But that’s answered by itself. I mean, at least. What do you think? (Please provide meaningful answers with explanation 😉 ) Did someone have this problem before? Thank you in advance!

Hello, I would like to buy a “new” used one and my choice was actually on the Yaris. I’m just not quite sure if it should be the 1st or 2nd generation. In any case a 5 door with the 1.33 engine and as little KM as possible. The P1 costs here in the region Hannover with BJ 2004/05 large between 6,500 and 8,000 Euro. The XP9 with BJ 06 to 08 goes so at 8.000 up to 10,000. All not exactly cheap as I find. Bar I have about 7000 available, With more I would then finance. Are there any serious advantages/disadvantages that speak for one or the other model? The P1 has e.g. the advantage that it is a whole bit lighter than the new one. The new one will be more technically mature for this, right? How about the reliability and rust susceptibility, can one highlight a model? Thanks and greeting, Spooky
