2003 Corolla T-sport

[lespaul66]

Hi

I just purchased a new Corolla T-sport 2003 model. The car is only 3 months old (driven 3000 km). Every time when I raise the clutch (first gear after reverse) there is a quite loud knock (or short rattle) somewhere near right front wheel (worn drivesaft???). I asked what is the problem from the Toyota service and they stated that it is normal...the sound is comming from solenoid valve ???

Does other T-Sport drivers have that kind of problem ???

Hi lespaul66

Hey man i would just take it back to the dealer and say that you are not happy with it. There is no such thing as normal? They are trying to pull a fast one on you mate. Take the car back mate and it necessary take them out in it and try to find the trouble. And welcome to the club mate

jerry!!

I already once visited in toyota servive- the mechanic drove the car and informed: This is normal...also some avesis has same kind of noise...it is solenoid valve. Yes..I am going to bring it back...Toyota has 3 years garantee in Finland...
