    HELP PLEASE!

    Have you checked the wheels and tires? running the wrong size wheel/tire (either larger or smaller) can either cause your speed to be slower that your speedo or higher.

    A closer look at the International Corolla model

    It is interesting to see what a vehicle is/has in other markets. I like to see/know the difference (that is why the rear of my Corolla has Corolla Altis on it and 1.8 S and VVTI on the fenders). In some markets the rear seats recline, and there are other options on them as well. All those things...

    I got a leased car yesterday, but something is not right, help!

    If it is signed then it is a bound contract. Check the details. Check to see if there was any "optional insurance" added or extra warranty added. To be fair just punching in the numbers in a calculator will not properly calculate payments. Also, there are taxes to bear in mind. Usually the price...

    Add push to start

    Not in Canada jolly. Only way to get push to start in Canada is the XSE package and that package is only available with the CVT.

    Add push to start

    Yes, I thought of keys on the fob after I hit the enter button. That is understandable with that many keys but as for me they are, far less keys mind you, on a separate key chain, my fob has nothing attached to it. I also keep my wallet in my front pocket because I can't stand it on my ass, yada...

    DRL question

    Does you high beam work when you turn the lights on? Not an expert but from what I know (at least in Canada) the DRL is a lower intensity light that can be a separate bulb or it may even be the high beam bulb that is used for the DRL. When the lights are turned on, if it is a separate bulb the...

    Add push to start

    Not entirely sure it would work. Besides to get the whole experience you would need the door handles and to be honest there would probable be a need to flash or "update" the software. I'm 41 and my 2013 is the first and only (so far) vehicle to have push to start and I love it. As for the key I...

    2009 corolla headlights

    I have accidentally hit the stock as well. The car yells at me when I turn it off so I know it is on. If your car is not yelling at you then I would get the chime checked.

    It is Mobil1 oil and I bought it at Wall Mart.

    Driving uphill

    I believe B is for brake and used to go downhill. S is sport and makes the transmission "sportier" so best bet would be to just leave it in D. A CVT is designed to always keep the engine at the best rpm for the task at hand, the transmission will adjust accordingly.

    Brake pad and shoe change

    That is what I figured. I did my brothers and after realized he had ABS. That was several months ago and he has not complained.

    Brake pad and shoe change

    I like to do easy things on my car myself. One of those being changing brake pads and shoes. While I have never done it on ABS equipped cars before I have heard that the brake fluid should be drained when pushing the brake cylinder back. I have always just pushed the cylinder back and pushing...

    2ZR-FE Oil Change

    I like to do my own oil change. It's not hard to do, although I went with a cheap filter wrench to same money, that was a mistake and I will be buying a different one. I like to do it, and also I know the proper oil is going in. Nothing against the dealer and I save myself money by doing it.

    What is this rusty rattlin' piece?

    looks like some sort of heat shield. With no other picture to go by I would guess it has rusted trough a few screw mounts and is loose.
