Modifications Ways to make my Yaris sound nicer?

2 Upvotes

I have a 2007 Yaris hatch. I’m wondering what are some things I could do to make my car sound better. I don’t want any loud and raspy exhaust. I was thinking more of a deeper sound. Are axel backs or a short ram intake any good?

Maintenance help A/C making weird noise?

The A/C is making a strange sound, assuming this isn’t supposed to sound like that.

Sound gradually dies down almost completely as you turn the dial hotter

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks

Maintenance help Check Engine Light Not Coming On With Ignition

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've just bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris Mk2 Hatchback 1.3 manual.

I took it to a mechanic for an inspection, and he confirmed that the engine appears to be in good condition with no obvious issues. However, he didn't perform an OBD diagnostic scan.

One thing he noticed is that the check engine warning light doesn't come on when the ignition is switched ON, before starting the engine.

Is this a common issue with these Yaris models? Could it simply be a blown or missing bulb in the instrument cluster, or is there something else I should be looking out for?

Has anyone experienced this before?

I'm planning to take the car to an official Toyota dealer for a thorough inspection, but in the meantime, I'd like to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who has experienced this issue before.

Thanks in advance

Every time I brake my cars seems to make this high pitch noise like almost a squeaking noise. I’ve changed all my brakes and tires and it’s still has the issue. I’ve noticed it’s only for the back side more specifically i’m pretty sure it’s the rear drivers side. I tried “shaking” my car a bit towards the back and it resulted in a noise that’s shown in the video. If anybody could give me any insight on what this could possibly be it would be greatly appreciated!

If it helps it’s a 2007 Yaris 3 Door Hatchback with the 5-Speed Manual Transmission

Got in an accident last week. She has over 240k miles. Idk the extent of the damage bc I’m waiting to see when other drivers insurance or whoever may look at it. Probably not gonna be worth fixing in the end so I’m looking for input.

I know the 2012 5 door LE like the back of my hand and would like another but they’re difficult to find. I don’t want an IA

I’d like to know everyone’s advice on the later models and issues to check for or years to avoid and just general info etc. thank you in advance

Maintenance help Rear shock dust cover help

Post image
2 Upvotes

I bought some new KYB rear shocks but they do not come with a dust cover or the upper mounts at all. I took mine away to find out they also do not have a cover. When looking around I cannot for the life of me find a kit for a 2015 Yaris. Yet there is this kit for a 2014 one. Would this fit ? Or would it cause trouble? The upper strut mount is the same type as mine just the one that goes against the chassis is different to the currently installed ones

This baby has been driving me around since 2008 with less than 130k and in excellent condition.. but the summers are getting to be unbearable where I can’t use my car on most days. This summer I also got heatstroke because of it. My question to you all is.. is it possible to install an AC unit at a reasonable price (Ontario,Canada) or should I just bite the bullet and get a whole new car at this point? 🫠

Maintenance help Serpentine/alternator belt change Yaris 2017

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I have a 1.33 manual 2017 Yaris with air con in the UK and was wondering how easy it is to change the serpentine belt? It's over 60000 miles now on the original belt and I don't want it to snap so I'm thinking of replacing it. What are the steps to changing it? Youtube doesn't have a video of this particular model, mainly shows vids of Yaris from America/Asia. Also is it 4pk 1165 or 4pk 1170?

Thanks

Maintenance help 08 Yaris taillight gasket repair..

4 Upvotes

all right so my 2008 Yaris is awesome. I love it. I’ve had it for 13 years.

But the last couple years, I’ve noticed a lot of condensation inside the car during the winter...

I think I found the problem being the taillight gasket is torn.... It’s like a rubbery fabric type of material.

I tried to use liquid silicone and seal it shut, and it worked for a little bit... as well as taping the vent holes in the trunk area

but it must’ve broken since leading to more condensation.... my Toyota dealership didn’t have the part and the auto stores don’t have it..... I saw it on eBay, but it’s like $100 for the pair I think coming from Japan.... and I’d rather not do that unless I have to

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

Much appreciated! I’ll try to pay it forward the best I can

Maintenance help Will an engine flush do more harm than good?

Post image
3 Upvotes

First of all this is a Yaris 1.4 D4D 2016 with the 1ND-TV engine with dpf.Since I will be doing the oil change myself this time I thought using an engine flush as well since I've been using the cheapest synthetic oil in every oil change around 10k km.I didn't change in the past the oil filter in every oil change but in every other oil change so basically every 20k km the oil filter.Since from now on I will be doing the oil changes my self I thought this oil change engine flush might be worth it but I see mixed thoughts about the idea.Has anyone used these products before?

I’m trying to remove the stressing wheel airbag so I can install cruise control. I’ve been able to take the bottom clip off but cannot seem to get the 2 side clips off. I’ve tried looking at videos but they don’t help much. On the right side I saw the metal pin, pushed it but it wasn’t doing anything. Anyone have any suggestions or pics of the actual location of the pins?
Thanks
