Attero Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Because I do. I could have all the problems in the world with it, but as soon as I take it to a garage it shows no symptons. Toyota think I'm bloody stupid now because I must have gone there about 500 times in the last year to show them various symptons, but none of them happen at the time. The moment my Supra leaves Toyota territory, it all comes flooding back. Next time, I shall try moving in and out, shaking it all about and get coke all over my ceiling. Damn Toyota! Love you really.

The-Plethora Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It can be a sod yes, nothing like my old celica, it sounded really rattly in the morning, I would take it there less than half a mile away and nothing. I left it with them overnight twice just so they could start it from cold...nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 What's the problems? Are they heat related, mile related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just little bits here and there really. Nothing too drastic. It's things you notice like the knocking when reversing (which I told was unusual and should be checked as it may not be the LSD), some squeaks in the engine bay, some rattles in the engine bay, some high pitch whines. Cambelt might need to be changed, rocker gasket cover is leaking (but thats obvious), clutch squeaks, breaks can squeal, anti-roll bar knocking, some rather noticeable noise/vibration when revving to around 3-4pm when stationary, etc. You go to Toyota, 99% of that stuff won't happen when showing them - however many times I go there. I wouldn't be surprised if the rocker gasket cover cleans itself up when they have a look at it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Personally I think the car is doing you a favour - I wouldn't let the beast anywhere near a Toyota garage. I've had some pretty bad experiences in the past with RRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 They should be able to diagnosed most of that to be fair, we get a lot of jobs like this that come in saying they've got a squeal from cold, they turn up waiting for the car having drove 20 miles to get to us! The knocking at the rear for example, does it happen on level ground? Or on an incline etc? The squeal from your engine bay could well be heat related also but more than likely your aux belt! I'd rebook and tell them you'd like to go up the road with a tech! Or maybe trying noting down exactly when the noises are happening etc HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
