Sorry, can't find anything either but it should just be a case of finding sunken screws within the plastics and gently rock the assembly to find the point where it is secured
-
I think this is a global issue and have seen similar posts on other worldwide owners club sites.
Check Toyota Owners Club (UK) as this waiting times issue has been discussed on there

Oh that's not too bad then
Thanks for letting us know the outcome
-
Is it only restricted to where the paint is peeling from plastic panels?
-
Dual Mass Flywheel possibly? does it make a heavy rattling noise when switching off?

R.I.P Sienna, its always sad to hear about a loyal, long serving car such as your Sienna.
I have had a few cars and bikes where this has been the case and very sad to see if go to car heaven.However, I have had some where I was glad to see the back of them 🙂
What will you get next to replace the Sienna?

It looks like it will be attached to the pipe as it is a compressable olive to seal the pipe to the union.
So in other words it is now part of the pipe and shouldn't get lost or damaged upon removal/refitting

It may not be too accurate taking a reading from the mpg display.
You would be better off filling the tank and calculating miles until the next fill up to get a truly accurate reading
-
Is there anything blocking the seats from moving, e.g. something has dropped into the runners and stopping the seats from moving?
I find it hard to believe that cables could have snapped unless you are constantly moving the seats backwards and forwards
-
Does it compromise your safety if you remove them completely....e.g. would you head be supported by the seat back or does your head rise above the backrest?
Alternatively, would the rear seats headrest be smaller and can you swap them to the front seats?

Hi Bernard....welcome to the Club
You can add vehicle information into your Signature at the bottom of the posts.
Seems to be the done thing now to try to extract more MPG from your vehicles nowadays....even something simple like tire pressures and reducing the weight being carried in the trunk all help to improve economy

Hi....welcome to the Club!
Can't go wrong with a Toyota
Good to have you onboard!

I think you may be able to change the route settings to select Fastest, Scenic, Highway, etc.

Sorry to hear that, but would try to fit a new radiator and run the engine to see if it is still running strong.
If so, then have a look at the other issues one at a time so as not to lose too much money if you find any other problems

You're welcome!

The octane content does not change with Ethanol being added to the mix.
10% is okay to use on your vehicle but if in doubt then use premium fuel which contains less Ethanol (5% i believe)
-
Thanks for the feedback and useful information which could be of use to any other members who are faced with this same dilemma
-
I would search by engine code (should be on the VIN plate) and go on eBay for matches
-
How did you get on with this issue?
Did you get the right color and did it fit easily? -
The thermostat housing looks quite common to most other older engines you may find something in a very similar size form Chevy or Ford at first glance.
The water pump may work like the union next to the corroded one by chopping off the outlet pip and threading the body to accept a steel pipe to connect to. Its worth a try before binning of the assembly if the rest of it is in good condition

Try this video for info

Also check the rear light gaskets as these could be leaking water into the trunk
If you remove the light units you can see if water has been running through the seal.
Refit with some silicon and see how that goes
In search of station wagon
