    Re: Reverse Issues

    Still would suspect linkage adjustment. Bushing replacement likely involved removing part of the linkage.

    Re: Old member checking in

    Common gripe about the turbo! I came across an explanation on why from Dave Coleman. Unlike a regular turbo engine the torque of the Skyactiv turbo peaks at relatively low RPM and then drops off....

    Re: Reverse Issues

    Reverse switch is located in the transmission. So light not coming on = transmission not in reverse. Issue is probably the linkage isn't correctly adjusted. What was done to fix the "not starting in...

    GT sedan AWD turbo. I did consider a more basic trim level, especially as I now drive less (2 days a week WFH) but I do want to enjoy it. I'm not quite ready for a basic Corrolla yet!

    Re: Auto adjustable brake system?!

    The problem is likely a bad master cylinder or failed ABS module.... I would be careful driving it until you get it completely checked. If the "handbrake" warning light is on when the handbrake is...

    Re: Checking in!

    I still lurk a little bit. Still have my '08 as my daily driver, hope to get a couple more years out of it. Work has us in the office three days a week, so less mileage on the car.

    Well, very odd day... I pulled out the PRM air filter and put the stock air box back in. The PRM was installed around April 2009, so over 12 years. I still had all the parts, bolts & push-pins. And...

    Re: Old member checking in

    I still lurk occasionally. My '08 is still on the road. It's my daily driver (well, sort of giving I've been WFH for a year an a half...). I can't believe it's been thirteen years!

    Re: Installing trunk light strip

    Pulling the fuse for the circuit does the exact same thing without trashing the radio setup or the ECU learning.

    Re: Bloody hell it's been years!

    My 2008 sedan is still going strong... no rust (at least none where I can see it!). Engine pulls good, minimal oil consumption, and I'm still on the factory clutch.
