Toyota Corolla Model (E-120) 2002--2008 Owner's and Fan Club

All are operational only when car is switched on. Rest time, all are still closed in parked car otherwise everyday your petrol will fumes away overnight

[brownrose78]

May be because of good competition in Karachi as all imported cars also reach Karachi due to seaport so priced here are competitive because of wide option range

[brownrose78]

If u have doubt, immediately replace with Toyota Transmiss Oil and this time check viscosity, mileage and date

My dumba was not staring even after Dhakka day before yesterday so I replaced battery.

This time I opted Daewoo maintenance free battery perhaps DL-60 or DR-60 which is 45 Ampere with CCA 440
They sold me in Rs. 6,000(On ordering online, it is somewhere around Rs. 5,700)

They took my old battery AGS Cng 60 and gave 1200 for old battery.

So in total dumba ate my Rs. 4,800 but back to life Alhamdolillah. Even battery shop wala offered me 1,050,000 and showed interest in my dumba

Both your videos were awsome. You should join omer for another one with comparative experience and usefulness of both your cars

1050K .... thats the same I have been offered for my dumba --- the burf-wala close to my house is after my dumba every time I pass by his shop ... he waves his hand for this. or a smiley face.

However, ppl who still have these Xli/Gli are respected equally as buying a new 2019 corolla.

NEWS: Yaris or Vios to hit for sales next month XLI/GLI 1.3cc no more, camouflage units were completed last week inside IMC work done by a team from Korangi - Karachi one of them lives in my street.

Aslamalaikum,

I have 2003 Corolla automatic,and it is 138000 on odo.

I have bought it a year ago,i am currently using havoline 20w50 4 liters engine oil in it.

The cars and the engine performance is all good.

I am going to change oil after some days,and want to change mobil oil brand with same oil grad 20w50.

Plz suggest me,which is the best option for mobile oil for my 2003 corolla?

Either it is kixx 20w50?

Or zic hiflo 20w50?

[pwuser151957765694]

I'd recommend Caltex Havoline, Shell Helix, Aisin ( or Purple Blue available only in Karachi Plaza market)

change interval shall be 6000+ kms.

Last week car was gone for service and some suspension work. After that 2 liter of caltex coolant was added. After sitting overnight in the morning there was a trail of coolant coming from the engine bay and it was contionously dripping drop by drop. Went to mechanic again. Found out thermostat housing was leaky. Now mechanic says that there should be a groove for the rubber seal to be fit on the engine side of housing but someone has flattened it and now rubber seal cannot be fitted. So he packed it with paper but after putting alternator back started the car and still was leaking. Because of bad design of engine by toyota everytime alternator needs to be removed. He again packed it with cardboard (gatta) and use some silicon and put back. Initially it was not leaking but now at home it starts leaking again. What is the solution for this?

sir i doubt that your mechanic is an engine designer to pass such comments

What is the solution for this?

Change your mechanic,

brother dont use cardboard. for sealing purpose there is only a flat rubber packing around the collar of thermostat valve. find that rubber part.
And loose particles from silicon can clog the radiator.
And It can be easily done without removing alternator.

RPM can be adjusted by moving Idle air control valve sensor slightly up and down. Correct way to adjust is under full load at normal operating temperature. Turn on AC and all lights then move the IACV sensor.
CNG converted can be manually adjusted. There is an 8mm nut and ellen screw on throttle body.
