Reviews of OEM Toyota parts For Business

I didn’t mind the PS pump, if it had a serious leak the auction report would have noticed it and I can fix mechanical things.

For my car that would be about $800 at the dealer (they are usually $35-$40 with coupon). Five years in and I am right around $1000. It has had about eight oil changes at the dealer (generous $400), an alignment ($100), a battery ($90), a set of Michelins ($400), a wiper blade refill ($10) and a couple engine/cabin air filters (maybe $50).

I was looking at pictures of the V12 engine found in the Toyota Century. Then I noticed the spark plug/coil arrangement: Interesting.

Just an FYI. I just did the brakes and rotors on my LS430. Brake pads are the easiest job ever did. it's just a pin and a clip. Rotors require removing 4 bolts and replacing them as they are drop bolts. Still easiest brake job I have done on a car and I did for around I think 400 with OEM parts

Over the weekend this is how I did the water pump. I didn't have 2 hydraulic jacks, so I had to come up with some other idea. When I took out the water pump, I think the seal was starting to leak. Cleaned up area and reinstalled with new water pump.

I had about 205,000 miles on my avalon when i traded it in... that had the original timing belt.

I have a 2002 V6. I bought it new and didn't change the original timing belt until 2015 at 181,613 miles. I didn't have a particular REASON to change it then. I just decided I wanted peace of mine that I wouldn't get stranded somewhere. My old one was a little cracked, but who knows how much longer it would've lasted.

Toyota lower balljoint failures are shockingly common...I don't understand why they don't turn them the other way around so if they fail they don't completely FALL OUT like this.

Ah, he never checked his lower ball joint... Older Toyota's truck are known to do this.

2017 Tacoma headlights are crap. The HID projectors on my 2006 VW blow the Tacoma's halogen projectors out of the water.
