I filled up my car yesterday and when I looked under the car there was a massive puddle of fuel. I found a line was completely covered in fuel. It’s on top of the gas tank and leads to the evap canister. I can’t figure out what this part is called so I can’t order a replacement. It’s a very...

2008 corolla s. 192,000 miles and I have replaced a caliper, brakes and rotors, put in subs and a radio yesterday, valve cover gasket, transmission fluid and filter, and headlights. Owned it since November 1st. I’ve spent $3000 in total for the car and everything’s I listed. I’m joining the...

I have an 08 corolla S too. I have an Instagram for my car @bimmerolla. I have a new sound system, different grille, I’m gonna get a new wing, and I’ll paint my rims sometime soon. Most people lower these and tint the windows, different grille, straight pipe, tinted tail light, some put on a...

Now I own an 08 S but I mean... you could try turning the volume up. When diagnosing a problem start from the dumbest thing to the most advanced possibility. I’m not too knowledgeable on audio systems but what could’ve gotten in or a fuse blew... you could look it up, if you didn’t already. I...

I bought a 2008 Corolla S on my 17th birthday last year and I’m happy with it. My car is at 191600 and has a few problems but nothing too too major. Anyway how much longer will this last? I’m also asking because I’m planning on buying another BMW (E30) and engine swapping it to a 1zzfe like in...

Could be faulty wires. If you have a bad windshield and water is getting in then it can short out wires. Test the bulbs, if that’s not the issue then move onto the wires. Check for corrosion, anything not normal colored is faulty. I’m pretty sure a fuse wouldn’t have gone out because then none...

Update: took it to my schools shop. We looked at it on a shoplift. The piston is seizing up when it gets hot which is causing the rotors to warp which explains why my steering wheel vibrates a ton on the highway.

I wouldn’t recommend going over 100 in a corolla. They aren’t built to do such a thing. I have an e46 bmw (till I sell it on Wednesday) and that can reach 100+ mph and not shake a ton. Going past 80 in my corolla is sketchy because it shakes quite a bit. Plus I don’t push my corolla because I...

Pretty sure the previous owner never did much maintenance so it could be just some rusty bolts.

I think my front right rotor is warped and I think my caliper is sticking. When I’ve been driving for a while the car jolts as if the break is being pushed. No I don’t drive like an idiot with my left foot on break and right on accelerator. How do I fix a sticky caliper? 2008 corolla S

Anyone have some fixes they’ve used for evap codes? Not too many videos on YouTube talk about fixes. I know the gas cap isn’t the problem. Purge valve might be the issue but not 100% sure.

What are some ways to fix harsh enhancements? Hard from 1st-2nd, slam noise at 4th gear, hope that doesn’t mean 4th gear is going out because I’ve only had this car for a month and that’s a rare thing to happen on a Toyota. Harsh from park to reverse. Sometimes harsh from reverse to drive. 2008...

But here’s some actual good advice: turn off all the lights in the car, unplug any phone chargers plugged into the cigarette ports, make sure NOTHING is using power. If your car doesn’t get 11.6 volts of power it just won’t start. Pretty sure a new battery would be able to handle stuff like that...

I’m just a 17 year old but I’ve taken 2 auto classes so I feel like I’m a mechanic. Electrical issues can be caused by millions of things. If you turn the key and you hear a tink sound then it means your starter is good but if you turn the key and there’s no noise then it would mean your starter...

I got a 2008 Toyota Corolla S on Friday for my 17th birthday, not a present because I paid for it. I got it for $2,500 in pretty nice condition, perfect interior, meh exterior. Engine bay looks nice. I spent $2,000+ on my bmw for the last year of ownership and need to know what the reliability...
