I love the colour of blue James, looks really nice on the Auris, and the Yaris. And that was a useful review for others to read too.

I have just bought one, a pre facelift 2015 touring sports in Islane Blue in Icon plus. Now on 26,101 miles! I have to say I like it. Some trips have read 62mpg on runs to Brum and 58mpg average on the trip display screen and on the energy monitor says best 52mpg! So not sure which to believe. The cvt is a bit noisy at high revs in the power band but you get used to it! Acceleration Is adequate and watching your mpg and feathering the throttle to put it into EV mode is addictive. Mine goes in up to 40 mph. The silent running when in EV is nice. Seats are comfortable. Satnav seems to work fine and like the reverse camera. My old phone wasn't found by Bluetooth. Do you need to use a USB cable? I switched Blutooth on phone and thought it finds it, but didn't. Mine is a basic Doro 6520 phone. What phones are compatible? Bought ebay floor mats for £12 and load boot protector. Bought a cat cover off ebay for £28 and had it reinforced with 2 steel bars welded on the 2 edges to make it a bit harder to cut. cost £20 and £18 labour to install. James.

Toyota are targeting different customer groups for each version of the Corolla. Extracted from Toyota UK blog: "Each is designed to fulfil different customer needs. The compact Hatchback is aimed at young couples; the versatile Touring Sports for families; and the comfortable Saloon targeting young professionals who want more prestigious styling, on-board space and comfort."

Hi That looks pretty strange to me, I'm interested in this one, what could it be??? Ejector seat release pull????

You see that threaded hole between the top two wheel studs? It's supposed to have a countersunk screw in it - tightened! Suggest you go back to whoever did it! Compare it with the other side and you should see what I mean. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

If you go into My T, then settings, there is a vast section under connected services giving details on the data sent and how to power the My T app. I have only scanned quickly the details, but I gather that data is sent via the onboard connected service, not via your mobile service. This is the same connectivity that the car uses to report if you have an accident, and therefore how they find you and assist without you having to make an emergency call. The document indicates that once the ignition or power switch is turned off, that is transmitted to My T, and thus the end of the journey is registered. Over the same connected service, Toyota receives all the Geo, acceleration, braking info to power the My T stats. You can switch on Privacy mode using your account on line if you don't want Toyota to receive all this data, but if you do so, My T will show little info including no data on where your car has been parked, and the emergency accident facility won't work.

Hello Glyn - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Sales of the Prius are in decline generally - partly as a result of other hybrids from Toyota. Annual sales in Sweden for 2019 are likely to be 8000-8500. Whereas for 2018 sales were 12,253, 2017 13,630 and 2016 16,648.

Give it a tank or two and it should be more accurate. Winter kills the mpg, especially if you do short trips.

Probably the camera used for Toyota Safety Sense - not a dash cam.

Is anyone aware of where I could get my hands on a Toyota or 86 dealership emblem for my garage? I have a Mazda one that needs some company Thanks in advance

Most Bluetooth devices should pair, unless there is a compatibility issue or interference with the signal, the phone should pair. I went to the Doro website - https://www.doro.com/en-gb/shop/mobile-devices/easy-phones/doro-6520/ and checked the specs. Bluetooth is version 2.1+EDR so should work with voice calls. Sometimes the phone firmware may need updating. Also there is a compatibility list that you can check - https://www.toyota-europe.com/service-and-accessories/my-toyota/bluetooth-compatibility Doro is not a popular phone like Nokia, iPhone, Samsung, Sony, etc.

Is this the power unit in my corolla hybrid 🥳

When you enable bluetooth, you need to make your phone visible for other to see, if you want to pair it. Making it visible is not the same as just enabling bluetooth, it's a different button, usualy somewhere in the settings/bluetooth menu, and enabling it only works for 2 minutes or so.

Good summary from Catlover there. Main issue I've encountered so far is the glitchy media system - sporadic crashes, navigation positioning sometimes wrong but corrects itself after a few minutes, some problems with Bluetooth (especially SMS) and it seems generally rather slow. Interface and options definitely have room for improvement too. Oh, and the small issue of catalytic converter thefts, where the Auris is a major target - I very grudgingly coughed up £250 for a 'Catloc' in the hope that it will be enough of a deterrent, but obvs no guarantees... Aside from that, a bit of noise from the suspension but generally all good. Must say there's a bit too much body roll when cornering, but I believe that may have been improved as part of the 2015 facelift / refresh (and is maybe less of an issue with the HB than the TS anyway? dunno...). Obviously the key is to get a good test drive or two and make sure you're happy with the dynamics, powertrain etc... suits some folk more than others. I tried it and a Skoda Octavia in close succession, and despite being not dissimilar in size, they feel completely different. The Octavia felt lighter and more nimble to me - didn't really feel as big as it is. I would say the Auris (hybrid estate) feels every bit as big and heavy as it is, but gives a more relaxing drive and I like how solid it feels. Just more suited to crusing than haring around in a hurry (especially when hills are involved!). The whole car seems to encourage you to drive economically and I suspect to a fair extent it's deliberately engineered that way. Of course a lot of that is subjective, so give it a whirl and see what you think. As for stuff to look out for, Honest John is usually a good starting point for that: Good & bad: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/auris-2013/good/ Long term test (estate in this case): https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/our-cars/toyota-auris-touring-sports/the-final-auris-reckoning/ HTH.

Didn't you recently have My T connected by the dealer? Maybe they did something strange with the connected services? I had no luck with the dealer, they did not know how to connect my Corolla, so Toyota rang me and dealt with the connection. Maybe the dealer did something. Just based on my experience!

Thats a id4c transponder key, tbh most keys at breakers yards end up in a large tub so its pot luck and i very much doubt you will be able to test them A quick look on ebay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1816845578 had a quick look on the epc Its a jap build yaris (usually the 1.3) Vin starts with JT (French built ones are VNK)

You will need to program the immobilizer, be aware there are 3 different types of key (transponders) so you need to get the correct one, somewhere on the key it will have the make it also depends on where the car was built

The hybrid engineering is rock solid. You will find it a very relaxing car to drive. I had, and now the wife has it, a 2010 Auris Hybrid. The main components will be the same in a newer Auris. You will get better mpg in the summer then the winter, maybe 7-10 mpg less in the winter. This is because the computer will keep the engine running or maintain its warmth, plus you have cab heater, demister, heated rear window non more in the winter. Wife’s Auris does about 62mpg summer, 54 winter. A hybrid is a compromise, it has the benefit you don’t have to worry about plug in like you do with all electric. Electric cars have no engine but heavy battery. Hybrid has a heavy engine, plus a big battery not weighing as much as a full electric, but cannot go as far as a big battery electric only vehicle. Hence you heard a Auris hybrid will not do a great distance on battery only. And yes, around 21mph the engine kicks in, but just think that as long as you have enough charge in the hybrid battery you can go a longish way under 21mph ie town driving, queues etc. What you do find that you can be travelling at up to say 55Mph and with the right conditions, be travelling on hybrid battery power. Personally I don’t find high speed Mway driving (national speed limits) very conducive to good mpg, but it’s relative. I would think 55 maybe a bit more mpg. I don’t use cruise control on a Mway, I can ease more mpg by me controlling the right foot. Easy relaxed driving...... yes. The CVT gearbox cant really be compared to any other auto box, and it is well engineered. Driving the Auris hybrid is easy as a computer does all the thinking re hybrid battery/engine use, and you can barely feel the change between engine and battery drive and back again. Best move I did, and until battery cars can go longer before charges, and there are more charging stations available, hybrid is the way to go IMO.

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with you, I can't see that happening any time soon unless someone with a high profile takes up the cause, and shames the authorities for their obvious failure to deal with the situation, i.e. trap the thieving ( #nT$, and interrupt the chain that leads to a metal refinery somewhere. Perhaps you've seen, in just the last week or so, the papers have been running articles on the likelihood of a typical car criminal getting prosecuted. For breaking into, or theft of a car, nationally it is a 1 in 400 chance of being convicted and receiving a sentence, caution or community service. And that would not seem to be a dire enough, or important enough statistic to provoke a response from anyone in authority. Are they thinking it will sort itself out? Or maybe it's not considered a problem 'because your insurance will cover it.'? In the one police arrest that I've seen reported regarding car cats., the culprit's vehicle was only stopped because they were speeding. Their boot full of trolley jacks, power saws, false number plates and catalysts was just a lucky find by the police, if I understood the situation correctly.

Still happening - check the comments on the Toyota blog site: https://blog.toyota.co.uk/catalytic-converter-theft-how-to-protect-your-car Many people wouldn't have another Toyota hybrid because of the issue and their response:(

Hi Just an update - sorry for late reply. Had the valve fitted and new software updated - whilst it did start OK, I am not 100% sure its made much difference as I think there is still a slight bit of hesitance - only time will tell. The dealer gave me a certificate which showed the old and new software version - can anyone confirm that either 1) the software that has been put on is the latest, or 2) whether or not the old software had in fact been updated at some point? Old Software - 30245400 New Software - 302V0000 I'm sure that you need at least software 302V0000 for the increased fuel pressure, but just wondered whether my old one was in fact old, or whether ive done a backwards step! Thanks all

Hi, I had the same problem. Poor start with cold day, engine sometimes only puff-puff and stall (blue-white smoke). In last three years I changed glow plugs, battery, overhaul fuel pump, bought new injectors, bought fuel warmer etc. But everything without effect. Now I found where is problem. If you have a small SCV valve on fuel pump (called Compact SCV) try this home made diagnostic: warm up SCV valve before starting in cold day using hot water or hot airgun (about 80°C). When engine start for first time, piston in SCV valve is seized (rather chill diminishes tolerance and piston seized). Denso prepare new version of SCV valve, please wait few days, I prepare complete guide with pictures, order numbers and Denso service manual. P.S. I´m sorry for my english, because I´m from Czech Republic :-) Edit: 6.2.2013 - Here is part number: new one - 0422626020 (replace old 042260L030) After replace SCV, you must make Supply Pump Initialization Procedure - see enclosed Denso Repair Manual, Repair Section/2.Diagnostic Overview/2-113 to 2-115. I make this process with Toyota IT II (Intelligent Tester), I think that this way is better than connecting terminals TC and CG.. After replacing SCV during calibration were two random errors. Both of these errors concerned Air Mass sensor and Intake Air Temperature. I erased all this errors three times during calibration. Now is everything OK. Torque for SCV bolts is 6,9Nm first, 10,8Nm second. DENSO CR SERVICE MANUAL.pdf
