Hi Peggy and welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi...welcome to the Forum My first thought is battery charge levels as if they are considerably low on charge and in poor overall condition from being on vehicles that have stood around for a while then this can lead to a range of issues with electronics That would definitely be the first thing I would check. Let us know how you get on with it all Cheers, Trevor

I would disconnect the auxiliary belt(s) and see if the noise disappears. Sometimes, rattling noises can be produced by the crankshaft pulley when it's breaking up and when no load is taken off it the noise then disappears. Also, Alternator pulleys (if the over-running type can also rattle but by taking the belt off then if the noise disappears then look there as well

Pat_R That's quite an average mileage for the year and should go on for many years to come...hopefully with very few, if any, problems :-)

Hi....and welcome to the Forum Look forward to seeing how it looks standard and then maybe come up with some ideas to enhance it Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Most gear knobs nowadays are pressed on but can be awkward to remove....I usually grip it with one hand and then hit the underside of the gripping hand with my other hand and hey presto! Just watch out that you don't look over it at the time and hit yourself in the face....been there!

Hi Laduca...welcome to the Forum The only place I can think to go to now is the ABS modulator. I know you said the ABS works fine which is okay but if there is any air locked in the ABS system then it will generally stay in there unless bled out. My advice would be to invoke the ABS as much as you can before bleeding it through and the next bit gets a little bit messy so put plenty of rag underneath and carry out with a cold engine, etc as Brake Fluid is highly flammable. Get someone to pump the brakes while you crack off each pipe connection to the block in turn. You should see any air being expelled almost immediately if its in there. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Smitty...welcome to the Forum Sorry, haven't got any data to set the switch up but I would imagine that like a lot of pedal switches, if you load it up and install it and then back it off until it switches off (should be able to hear it if its a plunger type switch. Probably better doing it this way as opposed to winding it in a bit at a time. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

Hi Kerry...welcome to the Forum Always up for sharing manuals (or sections of one) but haven't seen anything for a Verza by using a quick search....what jobs are you after carrying out? Cheers, Trevor

Haven't heard of any issues at the moment but will post up if anything comes up. Hope you're enjoying it so far?

I would approach one dealer and then go to others to see if you can play one against another and drive the price down. worth a try at least

Do you have another remote for the car and if so does that work for the trunk? Sometimes, the buttons break off the circuit board internally after a lot of use/abuse Let us know what you find

Hi Victor....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Rory....welcome to the Forum I would imagine in the region of $3000 should get you a replacement (reconditioned engine) and fitting. Maybe even consider a used engine as a cheaper option? Let us know what you find Cheers Trevor

Hi Stuart....welcome to the Forum If it's done 145k miles and all you've done is the oil and filter then you must be doing something right. Generally, when it comes to servicing a car, most of it is something you can do on the floor and with individual wheels raised and supported one at a time...otherwise, it is just a case of inspecting systems and components for wear and tear and replacing serviceable items and fluids periodically. Only other thing to consider is any service update downloads to the electronic systems and also recall items which won't occur outside of the dealer network. Cheers, Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Loving the truck....very impressed. Keep us updated with upgrades or road trips Cheers, Trevor

Hi...welcome to the Forum It sounds like it could be a Fuel Vapour cannister (EVAP system) so if you are getting a smell of fuel and its affecting the idle speed then chances are that is what it is Worth dropping into a garage to confirm and let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum

Hi Mike...welcome to the Forum Not entirely sure why the system is not functioning but there obviously must be power going to the screens when switched on and I imagine it is all controlled from the head unit in the front dash. Let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

Which engine does your car have? If it is the V6 then it will be the rear bank (transverse mounted) if conventionally mounted then it will be the cylinder nearest to the front (slightly staggered banks)

Hi Mark.....welcome to the Forum Hard to imagine the Corolla being around for 50 years now....makes me feel really old Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi...welcome to the club It does sound as though the fluid is as a result of being overfilled, but wonder why it was in the first place....either incorrectly filled or overfilled to compensate for a leak? It is worth popping into a garage for an inspection as to where the fluid is leaking from and why. Also, worth noting that some automatic transmissions need to be placed into 'Drive' with the engine running at idle to correctly check the level. Follow instructions in the handbook for correct procedure. Cheers, Trevor

you could try insulated the harness....using earth shielding such as tin foil wrapped over with insulation tape but running a wire from the shield to a good chassis earth....tends to work a treat and cuts out all noise

Hi Angel...welcome to the Club What exactly is the problem with the aftermarket radio, as most of the ones available on the aftermarket are far superior to the original equipment systems? Cheers, Trevor

Hi Norrie....welcome to the Club Hope we can help with your education of everything 'Echo' Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
