Discussion Don't forget to change out your Engine & Cabin Filters

Long story short - Bought this Yaris 5 years ago and never replaced any of the filters and I'm pretty sure the previous owner didn't change it it out either....especially that cabin filter (so many acorns and a large rock?)

Here's to a fresh start

Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter Cost: $45~

Time: 10 minutes

Labor: Free

Way better than paying a local shop for something as easy as this

Discussion Why does this Yaris even need to exist?

Look, I know it's a Yaris but it's basically JUST the RAV4. Why do we really need this Yaris? It should be a small hatchback, not a medium-sized SUV. Let me know if you agree with this.

Maintenance help Overheating when going up hill and hard acceleration on freeway

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Been having an overheating issue with my car for months. First time it happened there was no coolant in the reservoir or radiator. Family friend came to look at it and radiator was not holding liquid so they used stop leak. (I've heard from a couple people this is terrible after the fact he used it 😭) the radiator was able to hold the coolant after that. Since then, when I go on the freeway and go 70mph+, accelerate hard, or go uphill, it overheats. When i pulled over to look at it the coolant was bubbling and overflowing out of the coolant reservoir. Talked to a couple of mechanic family members and friends and hear different things everytime. Checked this morning and saw this puddle and more splatter around the engine than I remember last time. I did not turn on the car yet today. Time for a new car or is it worth fixing? Plz help idk what happen to my smol car 😔 2013 yaris LE

Just ordered this for my 07. Stock tach is so minimal, doesn’t even show RPMS.
Gonna plant this right behind the steering wheel like the stock tachometer should have been located😂
Anyone else put extra gauges in their Yaris to get that extra engine info?

Maintenance help Starting issue

1 Upvotes

My 09 1.5 automatic hatchback has sat for a little over a month and is now having a starting issue. I let the car sit for a month because I had a rear suspension issue then before I could fix it I got very sick for about a month and had to leave the car sitting. On my first start attempt the car cranked normally, turned over then stalled all in about 10 seconds. After that it cranked very slowly like a dead battery, I charged the battery and since then all I’ve gotten was normal cranking but the engine will never turn over. I have full functionality in my lights, power windows, radio and everything else electrical, it’s not leaking anything, all belts look fine, it’s got fuel, oil levels are fine and visually everything else looks fine. The car has recently hit 199,XXX miles and is still on the original starter and alternator so I’m thinking one of these might be the cause. Any input is welcome!

Maintenance help 2008 yaris cranking but not starting

1 Upvotes

my car just cranks continuously but doesn’t start. it seems like this isn’t an issue with the battery as usually when that’s the problem, it will crank and then die and just make a clicking noise. in my case, it just keeps cranking

im thinking its possibly an issue with it reading the chip of the key, as when i made my reserve, i remember the guy who made it showed me what it sounds like when the car doesn’t read the chip before he inserted the chip. it sounds identical; ie just keeps trying to start. i’ve been using my reserve for the last few months as I lost the original

also, there is a red light that flashes on the front window, and ai said that that’s supposed to stop flashing when the key is entered, so either the car isn’t recognizing the key, or the key’s transponder itself is faulty

i checmed the fuses under the hood and under the dash and they all seem fine

no issue with the fuel as its almost full and i filled it up 2 days ago

im thinking it might still be a blown fuse but i have no clue what to do or where to start. anybody experience the same issue and have advice?

Maintenance help 2016 1.0L Driver seat connector corrosion

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi, bought the car yesterday and today it randomly started to beep like crazy complaining about me not wearing a seatbelt. Long story short I found that some plug underneath the seat had disconnected when adjusting it. It looked pretty corroded so I just wiggled it back and forth hoping it would clear up but it was to no avail.

Any advice? has someone replaced this connector before?

I am very close to getting the 2007 Yaris hatch as a first car. I know that it’s reliable and great on fuel. But I’ve seen people say how it can be very noisy and push the engine on highways. Being in Ontario, I also have to factor in the snow and ice. Is it really that bad on the highway?

Tips and tricks Toyota Yaris B (Brake Mode) sorgt für Überhitzung?

2 Upvotes

Mein Toyota Yaris wird bei Gebrauch des B (Brake) Modus zum Bremsen bei Bergabfahrten ziemlich laut, vibriert stärker und klingt nach Überhitzung. Ist das normal? Hört sich Bremsung durch den Motor generell etwas rauer an? Nutze ich B womöglich zu oft und sollte ich die richtige Bremse öfter nutzen?

I’m looking to buy an approved used Toyota from a dealership in the UK. Been to a couple of places. Is it normal that they don’t budge at all on prices and refuse to throw in any incentives? Has it moved to fixed pricing?
