My 2010 makes this rattle noise when started cold. Sounds like a momentary stuck starter. I found that it does not occur if I turn on the ignition switch... wait until the ign. bell stops chiming. Then it fires up without this noise. I've not done anything to have it fixed. It suddenly...

the best engine oil is the one that is changed every 4k

I wasn't aware my '10 must have it as well ? Imma check it out. tho' I'm not real sure what I'm checking My '10 always fires up immediately when the key is even slightly turned clockwise and so engagement release is rather abrupt. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding ? Definitely not like old...

My TPM's/syst. does not give notification (warning) unless a tire leaked down below 24 - 25(ish) psi. Purdy sure this is the factory setting. As my tires are the original factory size (195) I normally run them at 32 psi max My TPM's are not calibrated/programmed for their max (peak) psi...

^ I'd try that. But remember not to touch the bulb glass with your oily fingers. That contamination could cause premature bulb failure. So use surgical or cotton gloves when touching the glass bulbs. I'm not sure how the voltage is reduced... But the DRL's run off the high beams at maybe a...

could be a fire hazard if something is dead shorting. Keep yer fire extinguisher handy ! I'd usually suspect a faulty switch by your description... but it could simply be loose connectors/pins. Or even a faulty - soon to die regulator. Tho' suspect switches and connections first. A grain of...

couldn't ya just just stuff that hardware around or under the spare ? What is it that you trimmed a little ? picture

maybe it's like an CEL warning light and requires the Pos. + battery terminal be removed momentarily so that the 'puter can reset/recalibrate ? that or the tire psi sensors are not calibrated correctly possibly due to different sized tires being installed ? The internal psi sensors inside the...

I believe you can fit a full size spare... (25" OD) but the width of that spare tire cannot be much wider then say the stock LE tire/wheel if retaining the cover that lines the floor and covers the spare. But I have not checked what maximum tire width can be fitted under that floor/spare cover...

Even if someone elses key fob were to activate your car that wouldn't turn on the light stalks manual rotational "on" knob. If the light stalk is turned to the manual "on" position it will override the "auto light" function. Does your "lights left on" warning bell make tone when you manually...

purdy sure the air bag deployment is engineered to work for various occupant seating heights ranging maybe 4' - 6' --" So I don't think the occupants seating height is too critical. I think using.a 1/2" pillow or cushion would be the easiest and least costly investment. But by raising the...

I don't know squat about the '09 'rolla seat's pedestal positioning... But I might be concerned about the increased leverage in doing it that way. As well the occupants seat positioning to the air bags, if the seats were altered. Air bags deployed incorrectly towards the occupants can cause...

If the starter is sticking and running on when the ignition key is released. Then the starter is still engaging the fly wheel gears. This fault could result in a broken fly wheel - starter gear tooth or cracked flex plate if the starter remains engaged with the fly wheel when the engine fires...

No worries... was just for my curiosity and knowledge

I personally would have returned that rather then modify it to work. Once you alter something... few vendors will refund your purchase. No worries tho' it's not like you lost too much coin with that purchase. Gonna try a different ebay vendor ? I've had purdy good luck with my chinese mfgr'd...

So is the proprietor sending you a new LED strip ? Actually I'm more curious about your fore arm bands. Why do you wear those ? Medicinal ? or are they for an actual physical issue ?

cool you got that fresh air filter installed on your own. I saw a thread once were someone paid $ 124 to a dealership for that service/part. Highway robbery since they aren't expensive and most anyone can do it themselves. Curious as to what fault was found/repaired with the steering shaft. I'm...

same flood water level inside the interior ? Lot's of e components up under that dash that could be creating issues. Most notably the 'puter control syst. and electronics. Whom serviced and dried out all the e components after the flood ? Many people refer to repairs being done by "My...

what does "flood" mean ? submerged ?

maybe a clogged fuel filter ? code read ? my vvt on a few occasion was slow to engage, maybe a momentary oil starvation, but it sure sounds like grinding gears as it engages. (cpl. sec.) Just sayin' cause they share a similar sound.. Otherwise I'd suspect the starter contacts/brushes are...
