Re: 2006 Toyota Corolla [orca6]
Are you the first owner of your Corolla? Could you or a previous owner have used an abrasive compound that might have removed the clear coat finish? I know polymer compounds such as "2001" and "NU Finish" (and I'm sure there are others) have been mentioned to remove clear coat if not used as directed. I mean I myself use NU Finish and just love the once a year protection it ... Read More

Re: 2009 Toyota Corolla Gas Millage [terceltom]
Ugh Oh, I goofed ! I got my two Corollas mixed up (2001 and 2009). I gave wrong information regarding the oil filter for the 2009/2010 Corollas. The 2009/2010 do have the plastic cap that just gets twisted off as I stated, but underneath is the small paper filter that needs to be changed. So actually, for the poster in message #838 no tools at all are actually needed to change ... Read More

Re: 2001 Toyota Corolla transmission rebuild question [mani96]
Well this is one of those "while we're in there" type of repairs...since the transmission is coming out, and apart, it makes sense to replace not only the bearings (it's actually called a "small parts rebuild"), but the clutch, pilot bushing, throwout bearing, pressure plate and to remove and resurface the flywheel (if needed). IN addition, there may be various coolants, belts, hoses, etc. that could need replacement....so yeah, I could ... Read More

2001 Toyota Corolla transmission rebuild question
Hi auto experts out there...I was quoted $2045.00 for the following repairs to my 2001 Toyota Corolla: transmission rebuild (for loose bearings = super loud grinding noise while I'm driving on the highway and in the higher gears when i'm slowing down and need to downshift), plus a clutch replacement and rear main seal repair. Does this sound about right to you? Any advice (or ribbing because I don't know anything ... Read More

Check engine light
Last week the check engine light came on in my '99 LE. I went to Autozone to have them plug into the harness and read the fault code. The codes that came up were both EVAP codes, one was for a purge flow fault, and the other was for a vent circuit malfuntion. The AZ guy said the most common cause for these errors was a faulty gas cap. I replaced ... Read More

Re: rear speaker installation in a toyota corolla 2001 [mallan1]
I would purchase a repair manual for your car. It will tell you how to do just about any repair for your car. I bought my repair guide from autozone for about 18 bucks. It has helped greatly with numerous fixes i have used. This should tell you how to remove your speakers and factory head unit.

Re: rear speaker installation in a toyota corolla 2001 [tireiron]
The wires appear to be factory fitted as they come out of the wiring loom and stop just short of where the rear speakers should be fitted. The wires have a black rectangular shaped plug attatched. I am unsure as to whether they are connected to the rear of the radio as i do not know the proceedure for taking the built in radio out as this is obviously factory fitted ... Read More

Re: rear speaker installation in a toyota corolla 2001 [mallan1]
How do these wires appear to be dead? Are they the factory wires? Is there a factory head unit in the car? If there is an aftermarket head unit, they may have run new wires. Give us some more info if you can.

Re: 2001 Corolla fuel filter question... [cyriaque]
Because it does not need to be replaced. The prior generation Corollas (pre '98) had ones that needed (per owner's manual) to be replaced every 30 or 60k miles. Most cars are like this now, and so far it is not causing any problems for Toyota. I cannot recall ever reading or hearing any problems associated with this type of fuel filter system. Saves me $ and time, and does not ... Read More

2001 Corolla S Check Engine Light
I have recently purchased a used Corolla S '01 with 70000 miles on it. I love this car, very clean and sporty looking. The thing is a week after I bought it the check engine light came on :( . So I took it to the local Auto Zone store to check it out, it showed code P0446. Found that this code means Purge Valve malfunction. The guy said that I ... Read More

Re: MARY YOU ARE NOT ALONE [babs1]
I had the same problem with my 2001 toyota corolla. In fact it's at the dealership at this very moment due to the issue. I kept taking it in and they said they could find nothing wrong with it and to keep driving and keep an eye on the oil consumption. Now the crank is gone, number 4 piston is shot and who knows what else is wrong with it. I ... Read More

Toyota Engine
My wife's 2000 Corolla had to be rebuilt under warranty due to a piston rod problem as well at just under 60,000, so it was covered under warranty, and they did give a free rental car while it was in the shop. In an event unrelated to quality issues, we later replaced the engine due to my wife running it without oil in it, and the cost for a engine replacement ... Read More

extended maintenance agreement or not?
Folks, I just bought a 2001 Corolla with 60,000 miles. First Toyota I've ever bought. The dealer is offering a 3rd party 'bumper-to-bumper" 3 yr, 30,000 mile service agreement with a $100 deductible for $1,700. A worthy expense?

The technology that honda is supposedly making is taking them where?????? If you also ... Read More

Corolla vs Echo.
Hello All, At this time I'm trying to decide on a used certified Toyota Echo 2001, with 31K miles on it going for about $10K, which is the color I want and almost all the options, but power nothing; and a used 2003 Corolla, Black (not really the color I'm looking for), going for $11,500, with 42000 miles on it. The Corolla seems to be a better car overall with slightly ... Read More

Corolla Engine Replacement?
I bought my son a 2001 Corolla last year. This year, the repair shop told him his motor was on its last legs (said a rod was going) and suggested he take it somewhere to have the engine replaced. The Toyota tech looked at it before and told him that he most likely had a "lemon". Does anyone know if Toyota ever had a recall or "secret" warranty on these 4 ... Read More

Rotten Egg smell
So what is exactly up with this, I just bought A 2004 Corolla, i have 1600 miles, and haven't noticed anything unusual, I bought this car for reliability, my old 2001 Alero only made it 95000 miles, hopefully this makes it longer, I am starting to believe that toyota reliability has gotten worse over the recent years.

yes!
Finally, some support. Thanks, Backy. I'm thinking Toyota could shift production of the newly retired (at least in NA) 2.0L VVTi 4 that was used in the RAV4 from 2001-2003. This mill produced a healthy 148 hp and 142 lb. ft, and would add some welcome zip to the already decently peppy Corolla line. If it were my decision, I'd keep the 1.8L in the current CE and LE models, drop ... Read More

2001 Corolla, weak AC
Before we purchased our 2001 LE in April of 2001 I did extensive research and read many reviews of the car on Edmunds, Kelley's, and other on-line auto sites. Overall the car was given high marks and, using Edmund's pricing, got a good deal from a local Toyota dealer. Any thorough review of an auto will list some features that are less than desirable. Two separate reviews that I read stated ... Read More

The RAV4 engine (which is related to the Camry 4cly) is exactly what I was thinking, but I'm sure theres production/logistical issues with introducing a new engine option. In a nutshell, I'd like to see Toyota kill the stupid S model, introduce an SE and XLE 4-door, kill the Echo, and bring back Corolla hatches, to include, of course, an equivalent of the FX16 series, and a strippo VE. Sorry pulgo, ... Read More

Engine malfuntion light
My 2001 toyota corolla's problem seems to be same as message number 371. From last 2000 miles the engine malfunction light on my car seems to appear for no reason. I got it diagnosed once and the dealer told it was a loose gas tank cap. After that I make sure that it is tight and engine is not running when I fill gas. Even after that the malfunction light has ... Read More
