Yup. Either the forum administrator are severely negligent or worst, they fell they'll get more click ($) this way. It's not only "not car" stuff, it's fraudulent stuff from vaudou o_O to fake money, passports, diplomas... :rolleyes:. Certainly don't want personal data to be link in any way to...

Not any more apparently... :( I've report some of those fraudulent advertisement at one point but either there is no moderator on duty or they don't care. Not that it ever was over active but that's the perfect way to kill a forum. Since nothing is done I will probably simply close my account...

Noise is vague... Might come from some suspension part.

No. The general shape may look the same but the proportions are different so different bumper fascia needed.

Yes it does revs at higher RPM upon start. Never noticed for how long nor even waited for it to engage driving ! ;)

Unless the marks on the tire are also visible on the wheel, probably not. Or unless the marks are signs of a severe shock that might have affect the wheel attachment but that would have been noticed during alignment procedure. Another tire related possibility would be if the marks appear to be...

A flush is never recommended. Generally, you simply use the drain plug to get our whatever fluid gets out (it's never all of it) then refill. So it means that's it's OK to top it, as it's what happen anyway. Again, I'll insist on using the exact same fluid as what is already in the trans.

If it's the CVT, those are kind of touchy when it comes to fluid. Was it topped with the exact same type and correct quantity of fluid and the level checked according to temperature. There is a procedure to do that. (Section 5-6 might be of interest, among others).

Absolutely. Over time, mechanical parts have "adapted" (so to speak) to thicker fluid, gunk somewhat compensating their wear and tear. Get rid of the gunk and this masked wear and tear will soon reveal. Plus even a flush (not recommended) would still leave some loose gunk particles which would...

"MPG will vary" is a truth. My Corolla average 39+ mpg, a friend's one is around 22... So many factors comes into play : temperature, distances, carried weight, quality of gas, tire pressure, type and size, traffic, trip and idling lengths, driving habits (accelerations, decelarations), etc...

Normal, and nothing to worry about, since it's missing one of its regular wheel/sensor. Mine does that all winter since my winter tires/wheels do not have sensors. Just remember, though, that with the spare wheel the car may behave differently than usual so avoid higher speeds. And if you check...

A 10 to 14 years extension of warranty for every owner might not be enough but doesn't qualify as "not their problem" either. ;)

Yes. The recall on CVT hatchbacks was for a limited number of units produced at a specific time with faulty parts. A ± 3,000 units production glitch. The 2014-2017 campaign was different: a firmware update to avoid valve body damage that, in actuality, affected only a few owners. There also were...

It's not a recall (those are only for security hazard, under NHTSA supervision) it's an extended warranty. The difference is that as such, limitations may apply like if the paint damage has some other cause than the manufacturing process and which body parts will be repaint (it doesn't provide...

Don't expect that. Toyota's Entune only have a few upgrades available to correct system bug but none to adapt it to specific phones. That being said, I'm not sure that those units offer any more functions via cable connection than bluetooth (calls, music) on those units. Maybe check if the phone...

How ? Normal with Smart key or if doors are already unlocked.

Don't count on a recall for radio. Recalls are only for security hazard that can cause an accident. Do you have navigation ? This problem is one of the most reported (not meaning that a lot are reported). If so, it might just be that you need to buy an updated map SDcard. Otherwise, a used unit...

K313 Toyota-Aisin. Check fuses as a simple blown fuse for brake lights might prevent shifting. Can't help more. If a new trans is in the end needed, you may find a used one for $700 - $1000 (sometimes less) if you're lucky at the scrap yard.

Are you new to the car ? That's what I thought when I got mine but quickly adapt. Yes it might affect urban mpg. 9l/100 is a bit high but but so many other factors play a role.

P219A refer to some incorrect air/fuel ratio. If all sensors are OK and correctly connected, it might be afuel problem (bad fuel, faulty fuel pump or filter) or something related. Probably nothing to do with transmission.
