    2012 Toyota Corolla Brake Fluid Change

    They are pretty reliable. How does the fluid look? If it is still relatively clear and the brake pedal is accurate, then you will be fine. If you have a spongy pedal and brown fluid, I'd do a flush. If you have a friend helping you out, you can remove a brake line (I usually do the rear...

    Aftermarket Tire Sensors

    I'm guessing that you installed aftermarket TPMS sensors? Yeah ... I'd switch back to the ones designed for Toyota vehicles.

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    Telling ya, water based paint is environmentally friendly and all, but it sucks.

    Fog Lights

    They don't offer them in yellow. For $20 they will throw in a yellow tint that you have to apply yourself. If I wanted driving lights they'd be great, but I want fogs, LOL!

    Fog Lights

    I'm definitely picky, LOL! if I'm going to drop $150 for fog lights I need good pics to convince me, and for that price they oughta apply the yellow tint for me :-D

    2014 Corolla - Orange Peel

    A co-worker of mine has a 4Runner in black, and he has bad orange peel as well (and it is really bad at the base of the doors, and I mean REALLY bad). I see it in mine as well but my car is white so it isn't nearly as obvious (and still not that bad).

    Fog Lights

    LMAO! I have yet to see a picture of the Miromoto fogs adjusted properly. The OP never took a photo of the beam pattern on the road like I asked, and the other guy that installed them had them adjusted waaaaaaay too high, so until I see a set properly adjusted, I'm not convinced. Right now...

    Windshield Wiper/Washer System Intermittent

    Where are you located at? Been getting cold? Possible that the washer fluid is freezing ... as far as the wipers go, I dunno ... but it sounds like something is possibly getting frozen until the car warms up.

    Question On Power/Torque vs 2005 S

    If I set my cruise control, I am pretty much fine in 6th. When I drive up to Reno from San Diego I do hit some sharp hills and will lose speed unless I drop down to 4th (these are the same hills that on my way home, I can go in neutral and travel at 90 m.p.h., to give you an idea of how steep...

    Welcome to the forum! The 2014 is so much of an improvement over the 2005.

    AC/Heat Control Knob Won't Light Up

    I posted this earlier somewhere else on the forum. I haven't found any YouTube videos, but on my 2008 Matrix, I pulled off the trim for the stereo first. Then pulled the center knob straight out. There is one screw there, and two screws underneath the stereo trim. Then the assembly will come...

    Question On Power/Torque vs 2005 S

    6th isn't much of an overdrive, but you won't make it up a sharp incline without downshifting.

    Question On Power/Torque vs 2005 S

    Oughta be downshifting on hills anyway so you aren't lugging the engine. Going to 5th on a hill will actually save a little fuel because you aren't at WOT trying to hold speed.

    2010 Toyota Corolla S AC Clutch Relay/AC Relay

    In the diagrams I googled, it is called the H-LP Relay. It will be in the engine compartment junction box.

    Question On Power/Torque vs 2005 S

    The 2ZR-FE (2014 S) makes more power than the 1ZZ-FE (2005 S), and the 6MT gets up and goes.

    Stereo Upgrade

    I'm sure there is a way to do so. TigerHeli knows more about stereo installs than I do, so hopefully he can chime in with a good recommendation.
