Hi all , I have had my previa for 5 yrs and ever since i bought it it has had a loud clicking coming from the left front wheel area whilst reversing .It sounded very much like a worn outer cv joint but also made the noise in a straight line . I replaced both left and right outer cv joints , but the noise persisted . I tried coasting down a steep hill in reverse and all was quiet , but on the level the clicking was there . After some consideration , I decided that the reverse gear pinion must have a tooth missing . I also decided that it didn't warrant a gearbox out job and that i could live w

Hi all, since i only have one master key for my 03 Previa , I purchased a new uncut remote key off ebay.I had the key cut -ok programmed the remote door locking -ok , however i performed the inserting the key five times followed by opening and closing the drivers door six times trick as prescribed on many forums to match the transponder to the ecu . The security light entered programming mode as it should (stayed on ) but when the new key was then inserted it began flashing a 2-1 code , which i think means matching unsuccessfull. This i suspect is due to the wrong type of chip in the key

Hello all , I am in the process of replacing my timing belt and water pump on my 2.0 d4d mk 2 Previa. I have a problem withdrawing the crankshaft pulley . I have got it nearly off but then it fouls the chassis leg . It appears that the only way to get it off is by lowering the engine so that it clears the chassis leg . After having looked at the lower engine mounting , it looks as though the entire engine would have to be lifted about 50mm to free the mount of its studs . The option of removing the mount to block bracket isn't possible as the rubber mount masks one of the bolts . It wou

Hi everybody , just bought my first Toyota, a Previa T2 D4D, and being used to doing all of my own servicing and repairs on every car/motorcycle that i have ever owned , I,m frustrated by the apparent lack of a workshop manual for this model as far as i can see .does anyone know a source of service info ? and alternatively re the engine / gearbox side of things , will a D4D engined manual for the Avensis or other model yield any useful information ? A wiring diagram , i suspect might prove the most elusive thing . I hope someone can point me in the right direction
