Sorry I'm late to the party. If you're replacing one or both, please do use the OEM parts, which are Denso. When I replaced my front oxygen sensor, I remember reading many folks who were unhappy with Bosch. No one every complained about Denso though. If you still need pics, I'll post them...

Late to the party, sorry. I have a 9th generation corolla (2005) and my blower was making noise. It looks just like yours. I bought a used OEM one on ebay from a highly rated seller. "03-08 Toyota Corolla OEM A/C ac heating blower motor fan factory # 194000-1510" for $50.00. It works very...

2005 Corolla LE, 213k miles. Aside from normal wear and tear (tires, breaks, belts, filters, fluids) I needed to replace AC condenser (hole in it from gravel impact), alternator (210k miles), fuel pump (150 k miles), and rear brake wheel cylinders (210k miles).

thanks folks for the answers. My alternator just died last week at 212,000 miles. I was trying to anticipate it, but I got stuck on the road when it failed.

I had a recent experience, somewhat different from Tom's; in which I was a total dumass - I write it here just so no one else gets fooled the same way. I had some big squealing problems when I'd go around turns. Couldn't find the problem. It turns out that I had a low tire pressure, because...

Hello Group, I used the procedure included in the link provided by Muhammad, and it worked very well! (I used OEM parts and fluids, because I'm obsessive compulsive). Thank you Muhammad for providing the reference.

HI Toby, Maybe I'm too much of a newbie, but my Haynes manual has such diagrams in the back. Is that of sufficient quality for you?

Hi Froylan, I remember that the cartalk guys, "click and clack" (PBS radio show) said that premium is a waste of money. So I agree with all the other posters, there's no reason for you to use it.

Hello All, I'm trying to look ahead for potential problems on my 2005 LE (now 207k miles). If you have a 9th generation (2003-2008) corolla, at what mileage did you need to replace the OEM starter?

Hi Maggie, Shwan 86 is of course correct. Here are a couple of helpful documents/web postings I found when I was trying to align my own headlights.

Hey Aku, The Code 171 problem is caused by a known problem with the intake manifold gasket on this model. It's easy to fix. There's a TSB associated with it. The original oem gasket gets brittle, and needs to be replaced by a new one, of a new design (orange color). Please see the...

Hello All, My 2005 Corolla has 207k miles but I'm trying to look ahead, like CowBoE, to see what'll be needed in the future. Note that the 9th Gen Corollas that we have possess odometers that don't go above 300k miles. One has to have them reset to 0. There are procedures out there to do it...

Hey Maximatech. Sn0wFlake is correct of course. Here's a TSB and nice article that helped me with this problem. Straightfoward job and fixed the problem!
