I'm a new member so excuse me if the issues been covered previously, could not find in search

I'm looking at fitting a 6 disc Changer in the wife's Aygo.
Not about to pay crazy money, can someone tell me:

1: Make of CD changer that will connect to head unit?.

2: Can I obtain interface and use, say a Sony CD Changer?

3:Is the connection standad ISO?

I have a sony 6 disc and it would be ideal if I could just connect and fit under sweat.

Any help would be appreciated.

Quick couple of questions for other IQ owners...

1. Would you consider a "pollen filter" and "cabin air filter" to be one and the same thing?

2. When you have had your 2nd year/full service did you get it changed?

All input is much appreciated.

Cheers,

I've got a k&n induction kit coming and a straight through stainless steel exhaust, I'm just wondering what other ways I can improve the bhp and torque? As after doing some sums I've realised I can't realistically afford an engine swap.

Links to recommendedparts would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is just a thing that happens with these cars, or if it is a problem. But around the injector seals there is fuel that is leaking and it's going all over the engine bay. I really don't think this is meant to happen as every time that you drive it, there is more and more of it. I was told that it could be the seals that were broken or worn. And that there might have been a re-call for this problem. I don't know if there was, but did anyone else have this problem?

This problem has been getting worse and worse over the past few weeks. Whenever you go over small or be it large bumps in the road surface, the rear left hand side squeaks. But going over these bumps, and ride towards the rear does seem to be more free and "bouncy".

I was wondering if it could be the shock absorber that is worn, or possibly the anti-roll links. I was wondering what people were thinking it could be, and if the same problem has happened to you.

Thank you in advance,
Kate.

As soon as this problem arose I had the g/box oil replaced with correct fluid but the problem is still there? Is this a common problem with the 4.2 and is there an easy....ish fix?

i am very interested in the iQ, but i have some questions i'd like to ask as its quite a big commitment money wise and i would like to get my head around a few things first.

To give you an idea of myself. Im not too big into cars. i currently drive a 53 reg Corsa SXi which I've had from new. Im very happy with it, but i get bored easily with things, especially technology and the such, and i feel its time for a change of car.
Ultimately I'm a local driver, with the odd excursion on the motorway, so my first question would be how does the iQ feel on a motorway? I've read mixed reviews about it over the internet. How does it fair over long journeys, with/without passengers or luggage?

Im a big technology fan, so I'm more interested about whats going on inside the car and its options.
my big question is regarding the TNS510. I've found it tough to find any real detail about this option on the internet, so I'm looking out for honest opinions from people who have this installed.
1: most important for me, iPod. i currently have an aftermarket full connection Alpine iPod stereo in my car, with the cable wired into the glovebox so i leave it in at all times. i noticed the usb connection in the iQ is down by the gear stick. is the ONLY place it can be placed, or can it be modified somewhere else (for example so i have the iPod in the bag on the passenger side out of sight?)

If this is not the case with moving the USB connection for the iPod, then:

2: USB stick via the front of the TNS510. i saw on someones post on here a clever SMALL usb stick permanently connected this way. Now from my investigating I've read issues with capacity and a total number of songs regardless of size of the USB stick. is this still the case or have things changed since then?

3: control of iPod/usb stick. How does it operate for people. is it easy to navigate the iPod via the touch screen? do you get full artwork/songs details on the screen? is this the same for using a USB stick. Does the usb stick have to be filled in a particular manner? folders or just mp3s direct to the stick?

4: Nav system. Ive only ever used a TomTom, so how does this system compare? basically am i gonna get lost? (I'm in UK!!)

5: DAB option. does anyone have this? is it worth future proofing now?

If anyone has a video of their TNS510 in action i would love to see it. or if its at all possible for someone to make a brief video to email me that would be greatly appreciated. I've searched youtube but nothing really comes up.

are the rear sensors worth the option?

another thing that came to mind recently is I'm assuming theres not a spare tyre in the car? or am i missing something?

sorry for the long post, but I'm sure you can understand why i would like to ask the questions.
I look forward to your replies, and if i think of anything else i will add accordingly.

many thanks

I took the car to ATS to have the tracking tested and they say all is fine. They said this is normal due to the camber of the road and the stone etc that gather near the pavement etc. I have never seen this before on any car I have had previously. The rear tyre looks fine on the same side. Any ideas?]]> Wed, 16 May 2012 09:43:45 +0000 http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136258 Comparisons Are Harsh On My Rav http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136256 Just returned from Spain where I hired a new Renault Scenic Diesel...what an engine that was...i thought it was petrol, it was so quiet.

New to the forum and hoping you'll be able to help me out with your wisdom!

I've recently bought a GT4 Carlos Sainz which I've been wanting to do for around 20 years!Unfortunately, I need to get complete replacement fuel lines for it to pass the MOT and it looks as though Toyota don't make them anymore. I've tried a number of suppliers without any luck and wondered if anyone has had the same problem and managed to find any?

I would prefer to install new whilst I'm having the work carried out, and I would rather not have to have them specially made due to cost but I'm open to any suggestions.

Many thanks in advance.

Im just after a little advice. I noticed a smell of diesel in the car earlier today so when i popped the bonnet and had a look i could see a puddle of diesel, having traced the wet patches i found where i think it was coming from, i can also see a drip when the engine is running... the problem is its too dark to take the cover off and im struggling to see by torch light. I just wondered if anyone can shed some light on what the leak is coming from and how costly or easy it will be to fix.

Here is an image from the avensis workshop manual with the part coloured red.

BMW costing £188 pounds a month in fuel only does 28 to the gallon and a mortgage to replace the rear tyres only do 14000 miles at a cost of £280n a piece to replace each time and servicing costing well in excess of £500 each year.
My wallet is now looking forward to a rest and a holiday in my pocket.
Will update on my feelings of my Urban Cruiser. currently I have not seen a U/C on the open roads around here it might start a trend.
Only question I have can you get steel wheel centres to put winter tyres on.]]> Tue, 15 May 2012 20:33:08 +0000 http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136250 Crunching The Gears http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136249 very careful with the clutch etc, it tends to crunch the gears on almost every change, but after about 5 minutes driving the problem goes away.
