  1. Which year is the car? Do you have a timing belt or chain?

  3. Yes, it is your My Toyota account. Have you installed the smartphone application and connected your phone to the vehicle via Bluetooth?
  4. I lack experience with prior versions, but the reception in my my26 GTLS appears satisfactory, despite residing in a remote area and being 10 miles from my local DAB transmitter, which is not one of the larger antennas. Your mileage may vary, of course. Perhaps they overlooked the impact of glass roofs on diminishing the ground plane area previously.
  5. The crucial factor when purchasing a diesel car is the nature of your typical excursions; if they are brief, a diesel is unsuitable, irrespective of the brand. In response to your inquiry, the new D165 and D200 (204DTY) exhibit multiple alterations relative to the preceding D150, D180, and D240 (204DTH), one of which pertains to the timing belt.
  6. Have you inspected beneath the vehicle with the engine operational to identify any leaks? My earlier Ceed is entirely standard but may exhibit some similarities. A flex joint at the front may visually seem to be in excellent condition, yet it can possess a leak that is detectable by sound or tactile sensation when the entire flex section is examined with fingertips. If the exhaust has undergone a comprehensive inspection for leaks while elevated on a lift with the engine operational and no issues were detected, may there be a problem with the crankcase ventilation? or any other loose connection within the engine compartment related to the turbo? Pay close attention to any hoses connected to or from the intercooler.
  7. Greetings, I own a 2018 JCW equipped with the standard 6.8 system. I intend to upgrade both the system and the cluster.
  8. Thank you! I was pleased to assist and valued the reminder to upgrade my iOS.
  9. What did the dealer indicate they will do to address the issue under warranty?
  10. The volume is uncertain, but the activation threshold can be modified under the combination meter settings.
  11. There are undoubtedly some peculiar individuals present. Install a set of Goodyear Eagles on the vehicle, and its performance will significantly improve.
  12. It likely possesses a complete set; nevertheless, it may have sustained an irreparable puncture, prompting the installation of an alternative when the vehicle was sold.
  13. Are we discussing tyre size or brand?
  14. Are the wheels on the automobile aftermarket, as many individuals transition from regular alloys, resulting in varying tyre sizes? What is currently installed on the wheels?
  15. The dashboard's fill level indicator is occasionally unreliable and requires rebooting with a diagnostic equipment.
  16. I value your response. I will investigate that matter. Thank you
  17. Greetings. I would much value your insights. We own a 316i estate from the 64 plate, which we have had for three years. In recent months, it seems to occasionally lose substantial power for brief intervals when in motion, but only during inclement weather. I had it examined by the local mechanic, and their diagnostic instruments detected no issues whatsoever. I find it difficult to believe that the automobile is experiencing aquaplaning, given the impression of power loss is much more pronounced than that. Furthermore, what might account for its sudden increased susceptibility to aquaplaning? Is it time to sell? Do you have any insights about the situation? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
