Toyota are doing their bit to save the planet and move away from printed matter. Service books and manuals are becoming a thing of the past, however you can still order them. A handbook for instance is about £30

I have seen it on many a taxi (usually) with many running problems. I have seen two stripped down after poor running, valves burnt out and coked up, I would not entertain it, sorry

Hello Bob, Welcome to the Toyota Owners Club.

in Italy? proof it, check how many hybrid vehicle with LPG are on spritmonitor with huge miles...the 1.8 is a tank, but poor proof for the 1.5

DCM - Data communication module it's part of the SOS system

It's a horrible fuel, runs OK on older models, I would never install it on a modern vehicle, it causes too many problems.

Nav is an add-on module make sure you get the cable with it

I don't remember the last time I saw a garage selling LPG.

The only problem arrises is if you want to sell the car privately. When I traded in my Lexus and bought my Rav4 I handed over every bit of paperwork relating to the car. When the tyres had been changed, when I installed the new 12v battery, when the spark plugs were changed when one failed. All of the service folders etc. All I got with the Rav4 was a small book with stamps in. Which was strange as they never stamped the book for my Yaris or for the Lexus. After pushing them I got a couple of A4 sheets in tiny print, telling me nothing. I downloaded two MOT certificates which seem to verify the mileage.

Hi. Can you also provide me with the update? I have Software version:XE3896 Model ID:13TXDAEU-CA02 without nav. Can anyone tell me howto get nav installed on the system? regard,

So go for it 🙂 Landi Renzo I heard is okayish. Never heard of Romano but I didn't really dig into this topic 🙂 Just check the reviews of the selected shop beforehand

@APS being online of course means the manufacturer captures your data when you check and is predicated on whoever serviced the car actually updating the maintenance record. Given Toyotas rolling 10 year warranty that will capture most Toyotas.

Another thought, wheel bearing, they growl! Would be unusual on a modern 5yr old car unless big miles or hard driven. Easy clue is if the noise changes on bends (as driving around a bend loads the outside wheels). This is another reason to identify the cause sooner rather than later. A completely failed wheel bearing can cause loss of control.

Hi. I'm getting a rattling/thunking noise from what sounds like inside the steering wheel. I had the airbag off the other week and checked for any looseness but there wasn't any. The steering feels fine too. Is that the steering rack?

Landi and Romano have a license for installing LPG system on hybrid cars, with a fine tuning and tests this is an important point: the installer must be an expert one with the LPG system, not a generic mech

The problem with lpg is that you need to find a real expert to do the tuning. Most of them just setup auto tune and off you go. There was a case where installers drilled a head in 1.5 hybrid to put the injector for the BRC installation without owner consent. Results? The car was vibrating randomly and the mechanics blamed everything else. The owner eventually landed in the shop 350 km away but got the car serviced as it should be. I don't know which installation they put but they got rid of BRC. It was smooth from there on.

Hm, the formula needs adjustment - now it just consumed 53.7kwh instead of 64.8 from 20-100% - difference possibly from a warmer battery from more recent drive and warmer weather

Could be many things and impossible to diagnose on a forum. However, you have no warning lights, and if it isn't affecting performance/driveability; if it was my car I would be thinking: If the noise varies with speed but not engine load/acceleration, possibly something as simple as a stone stuck in a brake caliper (especially if the noise started suddenly). If the noise varies according to acceleration/engine load, possibly an exhaust leak. Joint, cracked pipe, cracked manifold (which wouldn't be good). Sorry to say but I would get it looked at. A stone stuck in the brakes might free itself (driving forwards and backwards repeatedly can help this) but most issues won't cure themselves and are likely to get worse.

I was just swoping wheels around and I thought I'd use 2 spares to speed things up till I realised one didn't fit.. DOH!

oh I agree that the cars do live on, I still check the health status of my previous cars on the MOT check system (my first 2014 Aygo for example is still living) all I need to do is remember the reg numbers which is not difficult with photos lol.

My new 2024 TS doesn't make that noise. Sounds like something squeaking/loose. IME, if you take it back to the dealer, the first thing that they will do is take out everything that isn't standard or that you have put in it (and I mean everything, in the car, boot, the lot). That is something that you can do yourself and may save you a bill. If it doesn't help I would suggest taking to a dealer as something might need fixing. It doesn't sound like a normal noise.

Doesn't happen when it's idle at traffic light. It's when i start accelerating and go up the gears then it happens. As you mentioned happens with speed.

Just filled mine up... 499 on last tank. 😁😁😁

Is the noise constant or vary with speed or change according to throttle position/engine load?
