    2007 Corolla LE

    Oil coolers are on those because of towing. Oil coolers aren't necessary on a Corolla. Automatic transmissions are a different story though.

    Car Indicator Sometimes Doesn't Work

    Another place to check would be the switch itself.

    Car Indicator Sometimes Doesn't Work

    Check the terminals for corrosion, and see if the connector is lose or worn, or if the wiring is shot out. If you move the wires around and that causes the signal to turn on and off, then you probably need to splice in a new connector.

    Daytime Running/Headlight Question

    Less voltage applied. Not sure how to adjust them for your car. Usually there is a screw for it on top. You might have to remove some of the trim around the headlight to access it. This video should help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1pZC8m5q3k

    Do I Really NEED This Part?

    Also, that grommet will cost a lot less than a new head will cost. It shouldn't be more than $20, you can't be that hard up.

    Do I Really NEED This Part?

    Tensioner won't be too bad to replace if you know what you are doing, but if the chain holds tension, leave it be (I believe on your engine, it is located at the back of the engine block on the timing chain cover).

    2007 Corolla LE

    Looks like it will barely seal. If that holds, I'll be surprised.

    Wow, that leather has a hell of a shine to it.

    2009 Corolla Water Pump Replacement

    If there is sealant when you remove it, yes. Otherwise, no.

    1996 Corolla DX Wheel Squeak

    Can you bounce the car while it is parked and have the squeak show up? Without hearing it myself, it is tough to diagnose.

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    Yup. If I see someone on their cellphone, or I can tell they are distracted or in a rush, I give them space and keep them far ahead of me. After a while, you know what signs an idiot driver (or in your case, a scammer) does.

    I check my mirrors constantly, situational awareness.

    Do I Really NEED This Part?

    For timing chain slop. Rule of thumb is 1/4" maximum deflection at the longest straight run in the chain, but of course, it varies. With chains though, if you have slop, it is more likely a sign of a worn tensioner versus a worn chain.

    Do I Really NEED This Part?

    You need that part. Keeps water from penetrating the threads of the spark plug, which can cause the spark plug core to rust in the aluminum head. Next plug change, I guarantee without that grommet, you'll trash the threads in the head and have to heli-coil it, and that is only good until the...

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    Also, at a stop light, leave enough room between yourself and the car in front of you, so that if you have to turn out of your lane to avoid being rear-ended, you can do so.

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    I'd just tell the cop that he ran into my fist in the same manner that I ran into his car. Seriously though, I'm not sure what the law is in Canada, but if someone rams your car like that and comes at you aggressively, and you have a CCW, you are justified in shooting them ... probably why it...

    AE102 Misfire Issues - Won't Go Away!!!

    Don't do that until you get a multimeter on it. If you buy the injector and it still doesn't work, that is going to be an expensive way to find out that there is no voltage at the connector.

    1996 Corolla DX Wheel Squeak

    Do you happen to have steel wheels with the plastic hub caps? If so, pull the plastic hub caps off and see if that eliminates the squeak. My 2008 Matrix base did the same thing and I traced it to the hub caps.

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBAP2t2ZPSE If some guy did this to my car, I'd be hard-pressed not to put him in the hospital for it. Doesn't Canada imprison people that get caught doing this? In America, any scam over $1,000 is an automatic felony.
