I much prefer using a brush and a light, easily evaporating solvent, and then brush again with soap and water. You have more control and it comes out real nice.
My method of figuring mileage is to fill the tank ('til the pump stops) , clear the odometer, drive, then refill the tank and and see how many gallons it takes, check the odometer and do the math.
I am not a heavy-footed driver. This is mainly comute driving on the Olympic corridor between Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Any ideas?
Can some one can give me some help?
Changed oil every 3 k miles and taking good care of the car.
I have not notice any power lose or gas mileage.
Need your help. Thanks

I have linked this discussion into that folder, but it will always reside here in M & R.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

when rpm's are up around 6500, just after VVTL-i kicks in, I hear a strange noise. the noise is comming from the center console just under the shifter. Almost sounds like someone sucking on a straw. In other words it sounds like liquid being pushed through a hose or something.
Ideas?
Thanks.
My concern is if all that buffing had compromised the durability of the factory clearcoat treatment. Should I be worried? I would really appreciate it if anyone can offer any suggestion/advice.
Well, today I go to a dealer that has an XRS with the Nav system just to see how it works. The dealer is about a 1.5 hours away. Saleslime comes out and opens the car up. I sit in the passenger seat while he starts it up and punches random buttons complaining that the service guys had "locked" the system. It didn't look like it was asking for a password or code to me. Finally he magically gets it "unlocked" and tries to bring up the map functions. Problem is that he doesn't have the map DVD in the drive so the Nav system just says something like "please insert map disc". He says that it hasn't been "programmed" yet. No, the disc isn't in there moron. So he plays around with the radio some. Then he says that "these 6 speeds are hard to get". I was just going to let the guy go until that. The 6 speed is STANDARD on the XRS. It might be ok to say that an XRS is hard to get but not the manual. So I decided to embaress the guy. I asked him where you put the CDs for the CD changer. It's a trick question if you don't know about the Nav system. On most Toyotas the CD changer is in the dash. But with the Nav system there's no room so the changer is under the passenger seat. This jerk pointed to the slot on the dash where the nav DVD disc goes. So I told him he was wrong and why he was wrong, but I didn't tell him where it was. He gets out of the car, goes to the back and opens the hatch and starts looking around. Then I say "Oh, here it is under the passenger seat". So then I remind him of what he said about the manual being hard to get. I ask him what it comes in standard. He says "Um, uh, automatic". BZZZZZ, oh, I'm sorry that's the wrong answer.
Now here's what I can't get. It's this guy's JOB to sell Toyota's, why doesn't he know about this Toyota. Particularly when the company is running as many ADs as they are. Do they think no one's going to be interested? Or do they think people are only going to care about the color? My job is writing code. I KNOW how to program a computer. Why has NO dealer, INCLUDING the one I've order from, known as much or more than I do about this car?
a) Under the hood, there is a connector to you wiper motor terminal, remove it and clean with WD40
b) Try to lubricate the mechanical moving parts of wipers
My 2000 Corolla LE recently developed a periodic squeaking noise from the front left wheel. The squeak-squeak-squeak goes faster when the car is moving faster. It stops when I apply the brakes (the car is still moving). I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

I was going to Vegas from LA and everybody else was like on 95 miles per hour.
This baby (2002 CE 3-speed) would groan and moan a lot but damn would not go over 85.
And even at over 75 its like all hell break loose :-(
will cost around $200. Is there a cheaper way to fix this. I do not have a problem driving the car as it is but when I took to inspection here in NJ they rejected it saying that the indicator has to be fixed. Last time they passed the inspection without any question but this time they want me to fix it.
As the Matrix is essentially the same vehicle mechanically and built in the same plant in Ontario, I would recommend that current Matrix owners tell your local service manager about this and he/she may suggest bringing it in for a tension check on those bolts. I would if I was the service manager...It would only take 10 minutes for each vehicle...and there aren't that many out there yet!
Thank you for your query to Transport Canada's Road Safety web feedback. The 2003 Toyota Corolla US safety recall issued by the NHTSA on March 26 applies only to vehicles built at the NUMMI plant in California. All Toyota Corollas sold in Canada are built at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada plant in Cambridge, Ontario. Canadian Corollas do not have the axle assembly problem, and Toyota Canada is not issuing a recall. Road Safety is everone's concern. Thankyou for participating in our Road Safety Programs.

Normally when they tint the windows they take the door panel off...could they have caused your rear window problems.
However, a previous response I received said reading lights only come with the moonroof option. Is that true?
I don't have a lockable illuminted glove box, but I do have interior mirror mounted map lights, that comes standard with the XR. I'm not aware of any moonroof option (probably a different cdn package).
I know there are different options and packages in the states.
