    Instrument Lights

    Both my 2008 Matrix and 2014 Corolla have instrument cluster lights on the second I turn on the ignition (2014 is due to the multi-information display and 2008 is because the gauge lens was smoked and you couldn't see the gauges at all unless the sun was pointing right at them). My girl has a...

    Not A Rattle But A Clank On Movement

    Motor Mount Question

    My buddy picked up a V6 Mustang for $800. Guy could not figure out why the engine wasn't running. Changed a bunch of parts, the fuel pump, wiring, etc., and just wanted it gone after he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run. Friend towed it home. Pushed in the fuel pump inertia switch...

    2005 Corolla With 1.6 ZZFE Engine Grinding Noise

    How does the oil look and do you have the correct type in the engine? Engines have bearings as well (and I'm suspecting a bad camshaft bearing but without hearing the noise for myself it is a shot in the dark). I wouldn't go to that technician if he said it came from the axles when it makes...

    Motor Mount Question

    $2,550 for only 117,000 miles is a killer deal. Not everyday you come across something like that.

    Motor Mount Question

    What are the odds of the harmonic balancer going out? Sometimes they contain rubber that can deteriorate and cause vibrations similar to a motor mount issue. Did you take a look at that?

    Old thread, but no, never stack floor mats.

    Motor Mount Question

    I know how HP is calculated. And the Challenger is too heavy. 5.0 gets better times and handles better.

    Black Trim Between Door/Window

    That's weatherstrip as well. The outer one usually peels off when the window is all the way down ... maybe there is a YouTube video on it?

    Dash Flip Door

    A drop of super glue and letting it dry on the stub may do enough. Mine would always pop open if I went over rough road or a speed bump in my '08 Matrix.

    2011 Corolla - USB Port Stopped Working

    My girl has a 2010 and the AUX port is incredibly picky. If it is bad from wear and age, just gotta replace it.

    Replacing Engine

    Sorry for the late reply. No, you shouldn't need any Toyota specific tools.

    Motor Mount Question

    420 hp was the prototype, not the mass produced versions. What about a blown V8? Where will that make torque :-D Yeah, I will say that when it comes to diesels, Cummins are the top dog.

    Black Trim Between Door/Window

    You mean the weatherstip? It should pull off but if you can't pull it off all the way, then there may be a rivet or a clip.

    Motor Mount Question

    Anyone can turbo an engine ... but is the engine, transmission, and drivetrain built for it? Does the turbo carry the factory warranty? 450 hp from a V-8 isn't that impressive? It's more than the 5.7 SRT-8 engine puts out :-D with less displacement too. Even the 6.4 SRT-8 engine only tops...

    Keyless Entry System 2001 Corolla

    There are universal kits all over. Google them, and always check the reviews. It won't be the factory Toyota one, but it will work.

    2003 Corolla - Number of Speakers?

    For this generation, I believe only the JBL systems had 6 speakers.

    How to Disable Alerts?

    Same with pads. You can see if yoy are experiencing normal wear, or if you have a caliper that started to stick.
