Toyota UK have announced details of the programme to allow the upgrade of existing MM17 Audio units in 2019 Corolla & 2019 Rav4. A retro fit kit will be available via your local Toyota dealer starting May 2020 and will available to install on all 2019 Corolla Grades and 2019 Rav4 with the exception of the ICON grade, there is no solution available for 2019 Rav4 Icon, 2019 Prius nor 2019 Camry. Upgrade will cost £120 for Corolla & £150 for Rav4 there will be a reduced cost offer for upgrades completed along with routine servicing price TBC exact details of logistics and technical processes will be given to dealers at the end of Q1 2020. Toyota have asked dealers to inform owners of both models of the upcoming availability.

I manage to find the problem... The intake hose ( the one that conects directly to the turbo) was loose. I changed the loose metal clamp and everything is ok. Thanks.

If in August, MOT time, and just 1000 miles ago, there was no advisories re brakes/discs/pads then I think you are pretty safe to keep going.

If it was serviced by a Toyota dealer, the visual safety check should indicate how worn the pads were (using a traffic light system and an estimate in mm of how much material is left on the pads). So if 'green', the pads are OK. If 'amber', probably something that needs to be addressed before the next service. If 'red', probably need replacing now. If serviced by an independent garage, would have thought they would also provide an indication of whether replacement is due. Presumably the C1 would have been first generation (2005-2014 C1/Aygo/107 - they are effectively the same car), so may have different spec pads to the second generation ((C1/Aygo/108 May 2014 onwards).

That's an interesting recommendation. I have not heard of this suggestion before, anymore than I've heard of tyres needing to be replaced at a particular mileage, (rather than by virtue of their tread depth). If the brake pads are checked correctly in the normal, routine service schedule, then your brakes might be serviceable for much longer than that! Especially if you are predominantly driving out of town etc. But then I don't own an Aygo/C1/107 !

Are you are using hex, rather than bi-hex sockets on the screws? The hex will fit better on these 8mm (I think) heads. Also, from personal experience, it can be worthwhile to try tightening the screw a little bit before you then loosen it. To say that this needs to be done with great care is an understatement. Trying to move it in and out repeatedly can work well. I have done this to successfully loosen bleed screws that the garage were reluctant to go any further with, for fear of them snapping the screws off.

Just as background info; the throttle pedal is entirely electric, so there are none of the throttle cables fitted to your car that were typical on other cars before, say, 2006. The fact that the pedal was physically stuck down lends this to being a purely a mechanical problem (with just the pedal itself) rather than anything at all beyond it, as you probably already knew. Because the pedal has just a simple electrical plug and 2 or 3 bolts holding it in, removing it to be very closely inspected for grit, stones etc. getting into the mechanism should be quite a quick job. The pedal could be checked for stickiness 'on the bench', as there is no need for it to be back in the car to check that the pedal returns correctly. I have not come across this this problem. With regards the juddering, starting with the cheapest to fix, I would be thinking about possible ignition coil failing. The Mk1 Auris hybrids have sometimes suffered rainwater leaks into the spark plug area underneath the ignition coils. But if that was the case, I would have expected your garage to have noted seeing rust or corrosion when the plugs were changed. But an error code is usually logged with this fault. . A new coil is the likely fix here. But without a code there it is just guesswork as to which one, or if it is this problem at all. Or, another possibility given the miles covered - an EGR cooler blockage. But this usually logs an error code of some description as well, and your mileage is really a little low for this. The fix here is to strip and clean the EGR valve, cooler and inlet manifold as per this video:- There are no parts needed for this, but it is a time consuming job. How is the fuel consumption? Does the car burn much oil? Any strange noises when the car is juddering? Do you know what plugs your (non - Toyota?) garage fitted, i.e. is it on your invoice? Strange though it sounds, the cars run best on Denso brand plugs, but not to the extent of suffering a judder like yours. I have nothing against Redex injector cleaner, but as it is so cheap and easy to do, I would try a different brand of injector cleaner, perhaps say, Wynns or Forte, in the meantime. The above problems are not specific to hybrid cars, this is just normal garage spanner work, the same as checking the coils and changing the plugs. I'm sure someone will be along soon with some other suggestions........

Bear in mind there is still a further six months before the kits are available ....

A breakers or main dealer Its possibly 1 of 2 part numbers LH mirror indicator, if they are anything like the yaris they are not cheap 04/2006 onwards 81740-05030

Hi Folks, I'm due to take delivery of a 2019 Rav4, Excel 2wd with Panoramic Roof in Decuma Grey on Thu 5th Dec. Order was placed May 15th, original delivery was for early November. In July that went back to Mid Jan 2020 and then in October the delivery date was brought forward to 5th December and since confirmed. It's a 3 year contract hire through a broker, fulfilled by my local Toyota dealer in York. I'm getting a bit excited. Anyway, first post although I've been reading the posts on this forum for a few months now. Best regards and thank you to all members who've posted such useful info

334 miles, 28 litres for a respectable (considering the weather) 54 mpg.

well thats much better than the £500 - £800 being kicked about on here

With 1.8 hybrid you can get pretty good figures doing motorway journeys all you need is relaxed driving, if you push it too hard may loose some mpg but not that bad, even diesels are behaving same. Fast and efficient are two different worlds that doesn’t work together. Electric motors are helping the ice even at higher speeds so there is a benefit from the system in general. Regards
