You may want to trim back the 2" screws that those pedals usually come with. There is far more screw than needed, so clip the majority of the protruding...
That's a good suggestion. I adjusted them and things are back to normal. Still, even before I installed these pedals, I noticed that the car was a little hard...
I understand that there is an adjustment that can be made at the dealership that in a sense disengages the clutch a bit further away from the floor. Do you...
Have any of you purcahsesd it ,why or why not.Anyone has had to use it so far? Does it make sense to buy one with these highly reliable Toyotas! Thanks, tiop...
That's a good point, I have an XRS (see "photos/members photos/alex's04-XRS"). Now that I think about it, that happens often. I bought a small rubber mat and...
My dealership made it in my best interest to get the extended warranty. He offered me a lower interest rate with the extended warranty tacked on so it didn't...
... Any mat that is under the feet of the driver should FIXED into place - unmovable. Otherwise you risk an accident. On factory mats there are clasps in...
Hi Tiop, I bought the 7 year/75,000 mile plan. I figured $324 for each of the extra 4 years is worth it. Will I have to use it? I have no idea. Frankly I...
I was given the option of 70k/7years for like 800 bucks, and thought about it. I think it is not very useful, especially for a Toyota car. The drive train,...
No tax is charged on the warranty purchase, for what it's worth to know. I don't know why but it isn't figured into the contract and I confirmed this with the...
That's exactly what the problem probably is. There IS a button on the floor that the clutch pedal has to depress in order for you to start the car. .mista. ...
... At the rate I'm going - I'll hit 75,000 in 4 years since new... That sort of dynamic changes they cost base to $650 per year for the extended coverage....
Am getting ready to do a cooling system flush - as it is due. Bought some of the Toyota brand coolant ($13US/gallon). I've always used distilled water in the...
My 2004 XRS check engine light keeps coming on. CODE P2441. All I did was install a CAI. Does anyone know what the code is, and how can I stop it? Thanks...
Ok, the odometer on my car now reads 526 miles. I don't rev the engine more the 3500rpms. I understand that the break-in period ends at 1k? So when it comes...
Reset your ecu by disconnecting your + lead on your battery for like 1/2 hour and see if it helps. Also, make sure your MAF sensor is hooked back up.. Brantly...
I know someone posted sometime ago the list of TSBs currently out for the 'Trix. Can someone repost 'em or point me in the right direction so I know what...
... Everything is in moderation. "show" the engine progressively higher revs here and there. Running on the freeway for 1,000 miles at 3500 rpm isn't doing...
http://discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.jsp Don't bother with anything that the dealership can put on for you. You have so many more options by going to a...
Cool! Ok, I think I have 3 things that need to be taken care of: the window molding, the cd rubbing noise and the low volume a/c air production. How many of...
That's the good thing about the dealer I've taken my XRS to when getting warranty work done...my word is good enough. Of course, they'll want to duplicate the...
Agree. Never buy anything aftermarket from the dealer! There are limitless wheel and tire shops online. Best thing to do would be to pick up an import magazine...
What CAI did you install? Some have just simply rechecked all connections (hoses, clamps) and that made the CEL disappear. Some have had to run to the dealer...
Well water, eh? Personally, I'd go w/ the idea of using distilled water. My sis-in-law just moved into a new house and has well water. Already, the sink and...
I'd go with the distilled water if I were you. Just the idea of what the well water "could" be doing is enough to make me wanna cringe! Brantly ... Already,...
... I did. When the service manager saw the TSB for the CD rubbing/grind, he said "huh - never heard of that before". There were three Matrix's sitting out...
