    RAV4 Brake Crack?

    Thel posted a topic in Rav 4 Club

    So, preface to this post, I'm a very paranoid person. But I also am engineering/mechanically skilled to trade. Recently got new brakes, about 3 weeks ago, all went well and no issues. Now in the last few days brakes have been squeaking frequently, and they groan badly if I brake at the bottom of a steel incline. I had a look at the driver side, which is where the noise mainly comes from, and saw what might be a crack? You'll see it on the pics. Now it kind of looks like a crack, but also looks like it might be a nothing. Am I being paranoid or is this something that needs looked at?

    It's not even as 'good' as the one on my last Prius (and that wasn't brilliant!). Entering a postcode is a pain as you have to press two extra keys to switch between alpha and numeric entry and back again for the last two alpha characters (this wasn't necessary on the Prius). Traffic is very poor if relying on the TMC data via the RDS radio, and only OKish if you use Internet traffic via a tethered phone (but still not as clever as a recent TomTom or Garmin portable device). It's still not possible to save a multi stop journey using the in-car system, something I was routinely doing 17 years ago on a portable unit, and one more reason I primarily use my £200 TomTom rather than the £1,000+ kit in the car! (not to mention free for life [of the device] quarterly map updates and traffic data).

    It’s a valid indeed. You have to set it every time you start the vehicle. The sat nav in general is rubbish, too slow for data entry and doesn’t find a lot of locations. Hurry up Apple Cae pkay

    Certainly underfloor wireless charging seems a viable way forward for those without access to plug-in options at home. Car parks could easily be modified, pads placed outside your house with restricted parking signage ( much as dedicated disabled bays) and power taken from nearby street furniture. No trailing cables to be stolen or fallen over, efficient rates of transfer and easy to make Smart. In addition just think how many bays supermarket and service stations could install. Cheers Tony B

    I didn’t track order online. I found out about order mistake the last week in March and I picked car up at the end of May.

    One known problem causing random alarm operation is the bonnet switch which is located at the bulkhead rather than at the front edge of the bonnet. All you need to do as a quick test is stick a thin piece of card under the bonnet so that it presses the switch plunger a fraction more. We are talking only a millimeter or two. Typically the bonnet contracts as it coils and the alarm trips. A proper repair is made by removing the bracket and filing the bolt hole elliptical so that you can move the bracket upward a fraction. This happened on my TSport in the early days. If the wiring has been altered and aftermarket stuff fitted then anything could be going on but I would still check this as its an easy fix.

    Thank you for reply, do you maybe recall how much time it took since placing your order till first status change appeared on your Toyota online account (order tracking)?

    The pedal height us correct but it's ridulously high. Is there any reason why I can't turn the stop screw anti clockwise and then adjust the clutch at the gearbox end?

    The new Corolla's have the same issue which is known by Toyota with the nav heading not being saved.

    John, In the home screen you cannot alter the map, only in the map setting

    I’m in the process of trying to sort my sat nav out with my supplier but wondered if anyone else is having the same problem, I have reset the map to 2D heading but it keeps going back to heading north, very confusing when you go round a roundabout trying to workout where you are when the map is on its side ur upside down. I’ve tried setting to 2D heading then pressing the map button but still goes back, any help please

    Roofbox.co.uk also do Cruz Optiplus specifically for the Rav-4 2019. That is what I have fitted on mine. One problem I had was that my Thule roofbox was too small to fit on the roof bars as they are a fixed position apart and there wasn't enough adjustment on the roofbox fixings.

    I know barely anything about car electrics, but could you not remove the fuses of each of the components (i.e. remove the fuse that controls the central locking, then the one for the alarm etc) until the hazards don't randomly come on? I could be completely wrong (I prefer oily things to electrical work!) but an idea nonetheless.

    I thought that CarPlay at least was available on Entune 3 for a year already ... From what Devon Aygo said on another thread the new 2020 MY C-HR will come with CarPlay & Android Auto but as part of MM19. Existing new Corolla/RAV4 in Europe are on MM17 - whether this is just a software revision or there is an actual hardware change ... 🙄

    Wish it was, going to take out everything from the car (fortunately, there is not much space to put stuff in new Corolla, smh) to test if I'm not the one causing the noise, but I'm afraid it's something in B pillar/door panel. Good think is that the noise is pretty consistent, my other car (Suzuki Vitara) is making all kinds of noises randomly. She's very moody. Sent from my motorola one vision using Tapatalk

    Hi Guys, Need to know if anyone has had the work done and can quote me how much they were charged so I can be prepared 🙄 "Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated slight cut (5.3.4 (b) (i))" My last MOT had this on, but being a human being I forgot about this right until the very last second. Does anyone know how much this will cost if it's flagged on my MOT? The car is running fine still so my dad has said they could just flag it again, but with my luck being so dodgy I'm mentally preparing myself for the repair of this.

    www.roofracks.co.uk have Thule kits specifically for 2019 Rav4 with a variety of options and costs.

    The demand is outstripping supply globally by the looks of it. Recent Australian reviews are also bemoaning the long lead times but on the plus side in Oz at least, Android and Apple compatibility are being applied free of charge to RAV4's at dealers when cars are in for their 1st service....
  36. Ezcritique
    caradvice.com.au has a recent review on their website indicating that Carplay & Auto will be installed free of charge to Australian Rav4 owners when put into dealers for their first service. I'm still hopeful that this may also be the case for UK owners....

    One can download service information (not necessarily a service manual) from https://www.toyota-tech.eu Some info is free, some chargeable.

    Thought I had done a reply earlier Keith, saying thank you, but must not have pressed the Submit button. Dummy (me not you) Keith, mine was registered 30 Sept, so I got just over 5 weeks to go. I will book it in for its MOT, get the map upgraded, and a new wiper blade on the rear at the same time.

    Hi, does anyone know where I can find a service/repair manual for the XP130 generation Yaris. Preferably for the 1.0 1KR-FE, or the location for the PCV valve 😉 /Hafnia

    Not something as simple as the passenger front seat belt buckle touching between seat and the B post plastic is it
