You mean the serpentine belt?

With conventional oil, it's safe to change it every 5k.

Fuel pump?

Go away. The gasket is $5 at autozone! You got ripped off.

Check vacuum hose behind the intake manifold. If that slides out a bit, it will be very rough. If not, change your intake gasket. A $5 part that makes a bid difference.

Check the wires on the window. Then check the relay.

Try and tell that to the Honda forum! It's like they see a scare crow.:eek:

You drove 40k and it's still red? I believe you're in luck. Drain and refill is fine. I am actually draining and refilling 3 times on my corolla and accord just because the fluid was black. Once you do the 3 drain 3 fills, you need to just drain and refill once every 30k miles. Since yours is...

updates?

Drain and refill. I would say a 3x drain refill. Drain/refill once...drive it for a bit, then do it again to clean the tranny. I wouldn't do a flush.

That engine is so small that you can dance around it :P This is the best video I found. I haven't done it on a corolla yet, so I can't tell you exactly how to do it. I'm sure you're a bright man and will get it done. :thumbsup: If you're skeptical and don't wanna mess with it, just call some...

I bet it's the steering pump. They're not expensive if you wanna buy a used one off ebay. Just make sure it doesn't have too many miles on it.

Is it cold where you live? Did it just start when the cold came in? I bet you it's probably the power steering pump. Needs replacement. Is the wheel hard to turn? Had the same thing on another car of mine.

Did you ever take off the transmission by any chance? Check the bolts holding it in place. Could be a loose bolt, but it could also be something in the transmission. My wife's tranny went bad at 60K, but that's probably because her brothers did stupid stuff with it.
