The lid is on the lower position and a full size spare wheel fits perfectly with all the required tools.

Thank you all for your answers! I believe that in the end the main cause was the wind/sidewind that really affected the car and probably was more noticeable at motorway speed. Being the first time having this combination togheter I was quite surprised by the car behaviour. But seems a common feedback, I will get use to. Other than that brilliant car! Thank you all!

Hey everyone just on my Catloc today. Thinking of fitting it Saturday as I have the day off. Have 3 more to fit on friends cars. Ordered 3 cost me £200 inc

May have a look at this website https://www.autodoc.co.uk

HIR2 upgrades are now available from bulb manufacturers such as Elta and PIAA. Elta bulbs are also sold under the Lucas and Q-Lux brands. The Toyota Optiwhites are made by Philips. Just be wary of the performance claims. HIR2 bulbs are around 70% brighter than 'standard halogen' - but some manufacturers show performance against 'standard halogen' bulbs rather than HIR2 bulbs. The downside with any upgrade bulb is shorter life compared to 'standard halogen' - generally the brighter the bulb, the shorter the life.

Have you tried EBay? I just have and their are boxes on there.

Jemica - enough said what engine ? mk1 or mk2 Auris ? if your unsure PM me your VIN

Get a compression test done, if its not dropping is it must be burning it, iirc the 1.33 does have oil ring issues have a read of this thread

It wouldn't be a bad idea to put some decent fuel in it and a bottle of injector cleaner - a slight vibration is standard for a 3 cylinder A service would also help - oil and air filters, decent oil and 3 new plugs, don't forget to do the cabin filter as its likely never been changed EGR's rarely foul up on petrol cars as they are a cleaner burn - diesel being a heavy oil fuel, will soot and gum up with a tar like substance and choke an engine

The push pins are reusable, if the bar is bent or twisted replace it, there are plenty of used aygo parts about The clips are part number 52161-02030 (21 of them !!)

Had it for years on Mazda 3. It was where the slave was pushing on the fork, on the outside of the car. Silent during rain and humid mornings, noticeable during drier days. Did not influence the function of the clutch though. Some grease would fix it for a few months, until the water would eventually wash it out, as i did not have the underside tray. Not sure if your Auris has slave cylinder inside the clutch, or outside, but it's quite easy to identify. Just follow the clutch line down to the gearbox, and see if it's connected to slave on the outside, should look like the picture below, or similar. If yes, the marked tiny piston is what operates the clutch fork from the outside. You need to apply some grease between it and the clutch fork. I would usually push the clutch fork by hand, or some lever, a bit, so i can get the grease to coat the whole thing.

This may be a bargaining point to reduce the price of the car if in a good condition and if you have not allready bought it.

I had this noise on my avensis.it was down by the clutch pedal..wd40 on the cable !

My mrs drove our 2021 hybrid down to zero( my fault !) She got 53.8 litres in a 55 litre tank !! Zero range left REALLY means zero range 😳

New cars sold in the UK by Toyota GB have had a 5 year/100,000 mile new car warranty since July 2010. The warranty covers manufacturing faults. Servicing on Toyotas is due every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever occurs first. So your car should have been serviced on the mileage basis every 10,000 miles and should by now have had five services. Toyota keeps a digital service record for cars serviced within the Toyota dealer network and, by the sound of things, Toyota have no service records of the car being serviced within the Toyota dealer network Under legislation called Block Exemption, servicing can be undertaken by a VAT-registered garage outside the Toyota dealer network, and still have the warranty maintained, provided service intervals are adhered to and equivalent standard parts are used. DIY servicing doesn't count. If it has been serviced outside the dealer network, it would be down to you, as the current owner, to prove that it has been serviced according to the manufacturer's requirements in order to make a warranty claim. Proof would include a fully stamped warranty and service book, and invoices, service sheets, etc to show when, how and by whom the services were carried out. Without this the warranty would be invalid for any warranty claim which is dependent on the correct servicing having been done. This would be the case with any manufacturer. Unless you have this documentation any Toyota dealer will consider the warranty invalid. From your last reply, the service history seems to be just some form of letter (no invoices or service sheets, etc), and Toyota would be unable to determine whether your car has been serviced correctly - eg. at the correct intervals or using equivalent standard parts.

Unfortunately I have not been able to progress anything further, the noise is there, dry weather makes it louder. Also not sure exactly where to spray apply the grease, old corolla had a pivot point and thats where i applied but with Auris its different.

Yes, I think that is entirely possible - from what you've just added, most probable! Is it safer (if there was a mechanical failure somewhere) that you force the transmission brake on, or off, with the cable operation in tension, from a designer's viewpoint? That is what I was trying to guess. The gear lever on the Corolla looks much more conventional than the older style, perhaps to make the hybrid drivetrain more 'mainstream' from a controls point of view. The older control, this one is from a late model Auris, is like this:- So the transmission brake is separate (marked with a 'P' - the right hand button). This 'P' brake, for those who find pressing the button a chore, comes on automatically when you turn the 'engine' off, and releases the moment you move the lever to D or R, which as you mention, you can't do with regards 'D'. A valid point. The control above, as you might imagine, is easily operated with one finger. Just as background, when you engage 'R', there isn't an engagement of gears happening, the car is driven backwards with one of the electric motors. With the Toyota HSD, the engine is always connected to the wheels, albeit through a planetary gear train. This takes a while to get your head around, but perhaps you already knew?

Hi, usually this can happen when you park the car on uneven places and using no handbrake (parking brake)., or when foot brake not been pressed properly the car moves immediately after gear selection is made and jolts, the reason is that the parking lock in your transmission goes into odd position, that’s all, not a mechanical issue but slightly annoying. To avoid all that happened you can try the following procedure: Park the car at the same place as usual, select N (neutral) pressing the brake pedal, apply parking brake and with the car in N depress brake pedal so the car can be hold entirely on its parking brake, select P on gear selector and turn off the car. When you start next time and select gear D or R from P there won’t be any jolts anymore. 👍 Done that on all types of automatic transmission cars including few Toyota hybrids models with success. Regards

Thieves take these because they are easiest to cut and take away, that’s the number one reason and is the same with sprinters and some other models , Lexus RX even no need to jack up, just lay under cut it and help yourself…… here is a nice video that shows the latest Corolla hybrid how open is and exposed, although the catalytic converter is built into the exhaust manifold, dumb thieves are cutting the particulate filter and cause same big job and trouble for the owner.

Our local cat converter is a Vet.

Yes even on rough road surfaces it is quieter and road holding in the wet is a big improvement.

My apologies Alexandru, the tablet program takes over spelling at times, too often. 😀

I have change my 17 inch falken tyres and fitted Michelin primacy 4 tyres just over 5 weeks ago and what a massive difference its made in grip and lower road noise the tyre rating is Fuel C Wet A Noise 69db

Alex, Frosty all’s has correctly pointed out my typing error, the first sentence should read Alexandra, these devices, plates that cover the cat converter are deterrents.

Alexandra, these devices, plates that cover the cat converter are detergents. Many people have a house alarm box fitted to the wall of their home, maybe with a small flashing light. More then likely more then a few of these boxes are just that, a box with no alarm. It’s just a deterrent, please go away and break into someone else’s home. Same with the cat plates, go away and pick another car easier then mine to steal the cat. So it’s up to you whether you buy a cat plate, and if you do which one. I chose to do so, and chose one relatively cheaply but of thicker metal (compared to some others).

I think just empty words from a sales person, never take it for absolute truth, often just a non sense. I don’t know how good it is but there is no guarantee against been done even with any protection, if the thieves has time, car located on quiet street without people they will cut the whole car in two peace’s to get into the cat, we all hope once they see the owner been prepared they walk away, otherwise they can even vandalised your car.

I reckon your car is quieter then you think. Being a hybrid the engine will not be running for a fair chunk of the time - so less noise then you had pre hybrid days. So you down to tyre noise. It would be nice if all roads were covered in the “quiet” stuff, and yes, some surfaces are very noisy. Doesn’t bother me too much, I can just turn my earring aid down a notch (like I do sometimes when the wife is having a go). Just be careful working around the hybrid battery, for your safety. And remember the hybrid battery needs cooling, and relies on air for that. So don’t soundproof and restrict air flow that’s what I saying.

Extra and Effective Soundproofing is a big and expensive job, probably a lot easier and cheaper to buy some quieter tyres. Sure other members will have done enough miles in thier new Corollas to advise which tyres are quieter.
