Like I said before my wife's the Toyota person, I'm more of a Honda person, but anyway to make sure I'm happy every night we have bought 2001 Toyota Corolla and recently 2007 Toyota Camry SE V6. Ok, my wife had a 1990 Toyota Corolla and never have a problem. We drove it till 300,000 miles and nev..
« Let me get this straight. You're complaining that you needed a new battery after a completely trouble-free100K miles?? Cathy Next, »
« Well, the Engine belt (Timing Belt, or the Accessory belt...?) were bound to be replaced too, and fall under 'normal maintenance', as does the battery. Almost 6 years is good for a battery. Yeah, t.. »
« I'm in agreement here! Everything you mentioned is a maintenance item, except for the cat. Batteries don't last forever. You're lucky yours lasted as long as it did. Also, Toyota isn't the onl.. »
« Also, I'm nearly certain the '01 Corolla has a timing chain, not a belt. Toyota switched from timing belt to chain with the 8th generation models that debuted in 1998. I am curious as to which belt .. »

2001 Toyota Corolla. Just happened that both low beams stopped working. High beams still function It is unlikely both bulbs went. I checked fuses that I know of: 2 red 10's in the forward fuse box. I have two guesses and would rather narrow it down to one, or even know if it something else. I thin..
« I would invest in a volt/ohm meter or 12 volt test light before I invested in any replacement parts. Check for voltage at the low beam light connectors. It is more likely that both low beams burn.. »

2001 Toyota Corolla CE, 1.8L, AT, 124,000 miles. For the past two years or so (40 K miles worth), the car has been eating about 1Q of oil every 1 thousand miles. So I've been just checking the oil regurarly, and adding it as necessary (5W-30 dino.) Would this kind of oil consumption be considered ..

« Now, most of my experience with Toyotas involves 80's models, but I did have this happen on three Toyotas. Check the engine bay and underneath the car for oil spray. What had happened to three of my.. »
« That is definitely NOT normal. Take it to another mechanic. For comparison purposes, I own a 2002 Tacoma, 60k miles. I still have the first quart of oil I bought when the truck was new. I've used h.. »

I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla S. I recently installed a new stereo with the help of a co-worker, and since then neither my dash lights nor my tail lights have been working. My brake lights and hazard/turn lights work just fine, but the rest just aren't on. Unless I'm turning or braking, I'm pretty ..
« Remove your new stereo and match the wiring back together and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, make a note of the wiring. Has the harness been clipped out? I don't know why people just d.. »
« Try hachiroku's suggestions. I believe that there are 2 fuse boxes for your car, one under the driver's side of the dashboard and one in the engine compartment. Make sure that the rheostat for the .. »
