good for you post up when you finish so we can see your results

My trunk lights up just fine for me... and so doubt I'd bother. If you want to do strip LED lights... youtube shows an example. Just be sure the LED strips are 12v.

Back in the 70's there was still lead in the fuel to help lubricate the valves. Not the case any longer. Disregard all you like... but your opinion is plain wrong. These engines require some back pressure to retain torque. Loud noise and increased rpm does not improve the miniscule torque...

good for you. glad to hear you will have a safe ride once they've repaired it. Let us know what that repair was. Far as cabin fresh air filters... the dealership always tries to sell them and claims they're most always needed. Probably is true in your case. But $ 50 to purchase and install...

a lot of noise and it's still just an eco slug destroy those valve seal(s) yet ? ~ wait for it ~

IMO... it probably needs an alignment service and probably hasn't been done since it was new. Good chance the PO hit a curb and knocked the alignment out some. It wouldn't necessarily need be from an accident or hard impact. Light bumps into a curb can do it too. Usually a qualified...

'cause my post is useless without a picture. why can't I edit or delete my previous post ? hmmm

My '10 is six years old and looks as good as it did when new. Purdy much is still new, considering it only has 32k on the odo Don't think I ever took pictures of my engine bay to share. 'cause quite frankly if you've seen one 1.8L it's surely not special and so how wonderous of that can one be...

seems like the mileage was fairly low... and it is not likely something has worn out. But that's not to say the PO didn't hit a curb or have some other impact that could be culprit. But I personally would be checking to be sure that all the suspension components and hardware securing those are...

I'd prefer to remove the original factory cloth material altogether... and replace with OEM leather instead. About as close to a factory fit as one can get. It's what I'd like to install on mine... But realize it could require an professional install by someone whom has the patience and ability...

I personally think it looks fugly and is a throwback from the hideous 80's. The funky square edge lines look nissan(ish) and likely don't improve wind resistance. Looks like the dash attempts to mimick the honda. Never liked the newer model's fish mouth fugly grill. Looks the a poop scooper...

^ right... still considered a belt. But IMO the belt is excessively complicated and likely costly to replace if need be. I'm older... so one would think I would prefer the CVT's smoothness. but guess I prefer the shift points and the lesser complexity-cost of maintainence /or repair. Maybe...

I looked under my hood... found my AC label. Unfortunately it refers to what type of oil is used but doesn't list the system's oil capacity. I'd think the FSM would list the capacities... but my pdf FSM for the Corolla AC is mia. And Toyota makes it difficult to get that online for free...

I am personally unaware of any current failure... But it uses a steel drive cable and tho' better then a rubber belt.. Likely not as durable as a chain. But the cable is likely quieter then anything else could be. So tho' likely not an issue when only 5 or so years into things... But will it...

first off... opening up the vent to the outside air does little to assist drying of the air inside the cabin. Close the vent and run the AC in the defrost mode or bi-mode to help with drying out the interior/windows. The AC feeds dry air into the cabin. An open vent means the outside...

Is there no AC specification label under the hood ?

meh.. not finding-seeing current model specs... http://www.fylldinac.nu/AC.pdf But I personnaly would replace with the same amount that was removed.

you likely have an electrical short in the compressor or it's connection

I'm still around here... But the OP wants something repaired for free because they failed to notice when purchasing. Anyone whom has lived more then 18 years of life should know that when you make a purchase of anything used... is sold "as is" and should be marked as such. If it wasn't...
