    HELP: HIGH RPM & slow speed while driving Downhill

    On a side note, you should have two options for cruise control (from the "off" position) : press "on" = radar cruise (with distance sensitivity option via steering wheel button) / press and hold "on" = constant speed (no car logo with cruise logo) If you have a SPORT mode option, than you don't...

    HELP: HIGH RPM & slow speed while driving Downhill

    Another thing in trying to pinpoint the problem : does it happen with cruise control on "radar" or "constant speed" and is the car on "sport mode" (if so equipped), allowing higher rpm ?

    HELP: HIGH RPM & slow speed while driving Downhill

    I wouldn't call BS on those of us with pre-2017 CVT models : we do experiment harder engine braking as normal behavior of a CVT, and so does the OM says. Those particular CVTs have been in NA Corolla for 4 years - why trust a salesman ? - and longer elsewhere, without any surge in complaints...

    Low idle will in drive.

    How low is low ? D brake, mine have always been between 700-800. Not a problem.

    Coolant capacity

    I have yet to find one beside the Toyota's technical info system (TIS) but it's at a subscription fee. https://techinfo.toyota.com The 11th gen isn't technically that different from the previous one so I guess older manuals still apply in a lot of areas.

    2ZR-FE oil consumption fixed?

    The 2ZR had some youth problems (adaptation to W20 ?) but nothing to compare with BMW or Subaru... https://www.toyotaparts.metro-toyota.com/1ZR-FE_ENGINE_OIL_CONSUMPTION_T-SB-0145-08.pdf ... or Toyota's own 2AZ (class action and extended warranty). http://www.rav4world.com/tsb/2011/T-SB-0094-11.pdf

    oh what a feeling toyota

    :oops: I can (not can't, sorry !) say I love the CVT smoothness. Much smoother than any AT in other cars I've owned. And that fuel economy !!!

    oh what a feeling toyota

    Web sites / brochures, reviews, even online owner manuals are far better friends than salesman when buying a car (and a lot of other products) ;). From my experience, many salesman simply don't know their products or / because they are too lazy to do a little search. To stay on the subject from...

    Fuel filter and transmission filter/fluid changes

    Maintenance manual says to check every 30K, with mandatory change at 60K for "severe usage". Check doesn't mean level but assessing fluid condition, which require specific tools and method. You go on as long as the fluid test OK. I'm not aware of any filter either.

    oh what a feeling toyota

    Lied about what ? What truth ? :confused: About the specs of the car ? They've been the same, by variants, for years and zillions of units. Not much to hide ! Did he sell you a bad unit (Pre-owned instead of new ? Accidented ? Lemon ?) ?

    They don't share the same form at all.

    Airbag light on

    Could be a lot of things from simple interference with the seat belt attachment even if it "click" in place (like loose seat cover) to wiring, computer glitch or some physical problem with one of the airbag itself. In any event, a visit to the mechanic is the thing to do.

    2017 Corolla Entune sound system

    Safest way is to have the album art embedded in each song file when you format it. The JPG itself might be in the folder but if the file doesn't include the instructions to "look" for it, it won't show. That's easily done by batches with any encoding program (I use Media Monkey). As far as size...

    Corolla GTI Concept

    12th gen Corolla will be on the TNG platform (Prius, Camry). Not sure design and dimension would be an easy fit on the 11th !

    LE headlights

    No, but look closely at the two units. The narrow part is longer for 2017 (not to mention cost of units).

    LE headlights

    Nice, indeed. But if you mean upgrade a pre-2017 model, not easily possible : general shape might look the same but dimensions/proportions are quite different. You'd need to change the hole grille/bumper assembly...

    2015 Corolla - Question About Transmission

    "Lifetime" for CVT fluid is not a Toyota claim. Actually, the Corolla maintenance guide mentions 30K checking with 60K mandatory fluid replacement IF severe use conditions apply (namely towing, which Toyota doesn't recommend in the first place). "Checking" involves more than level, but assessing...

    18x8.5 wheels, will they rub?

    A combo 225-40-18 is about the same diameter as the base 195-65-15... Difference is in the effect, not the size.
