On Saturday, December 18, 2010, I went to Toyota Walton Motors Lahore for 10,000 km maintenance of my GLi. They installed the ECU cover for Rs. 500.

So Lahore members, if you don't get this cover from market then you can get it from Toyota Walton Motors for Rs. 500.

I don't know if this cover is available at other Toyota dealers or not. Today I went to Toyota Cantt Motors for 1000 Km free checkup of my uncle's XLi and they didn't asked to install that cover.

I hope this will help.

thanks,

I have checked pindi saddar market twice. Noone seems to know about this thing.

Is it a custom made cover or some kabli cover from another toyota?

It don't seems to be kabli cover from other toyota. Don't know about custom thing but it is available at Toyota Walton Motors now. I think it will be available in market in some time.

You can ask Toyota dealerships in Rawalpindi for the availability i think they should have one.

thanks,

Bump for new corolla owners

[AhsanD]

These people really don't care for safety.I mean 300Rs would be like nothing on a car for Toyota.Overpriced car which lacks basic safety stuff.

the aim is that they want u to make it non functional by spill of water or any other thing and eventually then u ll have to buy new one from them

My cousin got the new civic 2011 n that has also got its ecu in the engine bay but very well covered n protected

Very shocking indeed.What you said seems pretty much true.Why always bad people make more and more money.No justice at all!Well my advice to you is spray the E.C.U cover in red and when ever you go for a service tell the pressure guy avoid cleaning that area with water.Just use pressurized air in that tiny bit.

[upgrade1]

AOA,

You can get it from UPGRADE MOTORSPORTS LAHORE, qadafi stadium, gulberg. for rs 450. shipped any where.

[celica]

Well i got it from Kamal Autos,Lahore for 200 Rs.

Why would you want to wash a blazing hot engine anyway? and why do you need to have a sparkly engine - you dont live in that space do you?

very true
most of the time I ask the service station guy to blow high pressure air in the engine bay but in case If I have to wash the engine I do it at home when the engine is dead cold say the car remain parked for a night or not less than 12 hours and then wash it with normal tap water not high pressure jet but do cover the sensitive areas with polythene bags.

even though the cover is on still I cover the ecu with polythene bag. other areas to cover are abs control unit, air suction hose of the filter box etc

PS do it at home only when the engine is cold and never attempt to get the engine washed at the service station after u drive all the way from home there.

PPS never use high pressure water to wash the engine.
