你架車係25000km, 定係25000miles? Either way都好低, 最好係換左d波箱油 (toyota's fluid ONLY), 剎車油 (時間耐左, d油既水氣會好重)...可以既話coolant (toyota's coolant only)都換埋...

你用緊咩火咀? 有冇換風格? 六年車咁即係02 Corolla定03?

乘客果邊係禁airbag定係airbag旁邊先唔嘈? either way 我覺得架車有可能撞過, 好可能係個airbag裝唔實或個dash repair得唔好...especially你話司機果邊都響...

如果你買原廠喇叭, 咪可以換一個, 一般aftermarket既都要換一對...should be about the same work anyways...

2 way係高低音, 3 way係高中低音...

60% of brake life通常都仲可以行萬幾二萬, 渣得好三萬都得 (都要depends行咩路)

25MPG CITY, 32MPG HWY? so that's about 10.58km/L (9.45L/100km) CITY or 13.55km/L (7.38L/100km) HWY? that's not too bad at all cuz all city u should be able to get 500+km for CITY ONLY and 670km+ for HWY; if you think gas mileage is still not good enough, u should buy hybrid lol...

coolant 梗係唔係入水就得啦, 如果唔係都唔駛有coolant呢樣野...toyota用果隻係特別coolant, 如果你溝其他既落去之後既顏色會變到屎一樣, 都唔知佢係唔係乾淨...仲有我發覺例如water pump都會容易漏水左, 水箱又容易塞左...

一般你架toyota既coolant最好四至五年或48000km(whichever comes FIRST, which is already overdue for your case)換一次; 如果會自己DIY既小心架車overheat啦...

至於波箱油, 你識既可以自己換...

Iridium火咀$100? 連人工差唔多啦; well 你可以用10萬Miles, d coil死得快d咁jei...

你攞去比邊到睇呀? 我有朋友比某某公司睇完連架車係rebuild都唔知喎...有好多話同佢check完呢樣果樣, 到最後都係都個吹字, compression test做完又冇reading...etc...

well...我唔知你放咩重野壓住個airbag / dash, 不過我祝你好運啦, 有咩事果件重野加埋個airbag打埋黎, 唔死就出奇!!!

60%唔算少架喇, 你返原廠整囉, 岩岩先inspect完兩架, 50%同70%left比原廠叫換...我就真係做唔出喇...

brake flush唔會令架車爽D, 不過個brake會"應"D (硬d同停得consistent d)....

fuel system cleaning, 我都係用Motul 既Fuel System Cleaner, 用到冇油入枝落去, 再加d靚油出hwy爆一輪, 爽晒....都係三十零蚊....

睇黎你都唔知架車夠竟要d咩, 好似咁盲目咁整既? 咁good luck啦...haha

kayi078: $20 for brake flush? not included bleed brakes ga? that's at least 40 mins to bleed and flush a brake system, $20? 買brake油都唔夠 haha...

不廠條皮帶唔貴, $80差唔多啦, 10分鐘人工? haha

brake, dun use it until last minute; should change around 20% left, metal to metal is actually very dangerous and that will damage ur brake rotors too!

shutterbug: well i just dun like how many ppl are treating their car...not very often i can see a 3 years old car is still in good shape, usually it will need some love already...so i wouldn't mind answering questions while i can, have been doing this on other forums for many years already....

good question but my only answer is can't do it...and i totally hate drive by wire as i have replaced gas pedal sensor and earlier version of drive by wire's throttle body! i only found it no feel (less feedback) at all

字典仔

well i guess mechanic's wife needs to sit inside and tap on the gas for the mechanic nowadays; many things are actually getting more stupid and i can only see them causing more problems (yet they are talking about emissions these days, who cares about repair; perfect example is hybrid's battery)

i hate drive by wire's throttle, especially if it's MT, huge diff compares to drive by cable...

bleed brake油大約要幾多$?

now that totally depends on how ur brake fluid's condition is, and what kinda car u have ~ for your 03 corolla it should be $65 to $80 range, but cars like STi with brembo brakes, they got more bleeder valve than normal cars (8 compares to 4), then of course it will need more brake fluid and time (labor)...they can almost goes up to $120 with decent brake fluids...

also clean & adjust rear brakes is very important for cars with rear drum brakes, that totally affects intial braking (as that's what rear does for the most, after certain braking power it becomes like 60/40)....

if a japanese 4 cylinder sedan's radiator is total loss, how much does it cost to rebuild factory radiator eg toyota?

does water pump require maintainence?

i dun see how radiator can be a total loss? it blew up? cracked? smashed?

if only the side tank is leaking, it can be replaced but is not cheap...depends on what year toyota it is, and what model, AT or MT, with or without AC, cost for radiator will be a little bit diff...generally speaking a decent one costs from $250 to $400 installed (now that depends on cars, and what is available)...

water pump doesn't require maintenance, i always recommand changing it with timing belt, along with tensioner and seals; u dun want to open up the same area again within 100k and worst thing is u dun want a leaky water pump to have coolant soaked up ur timing belt; as for cars with timing chain u pretty much won't touch water pump unless it leaks / noisy; coolant flush every 48k is a good habit as it keeps up the strength of your coolant + drain out the old contaminated coolant for no longer than 4 years (IF, still not reached 48k).

and for toyota's, make sure toyota's special red coolant is being used; have seen so many mechanic mixed universal green coolant into toyota's and causing pre-mature leaks / contamination in the cooling system (clogging up radiator etc).

my pleasure

u can always drain the coolant urself, but if dun bleed the cooling system right, or know how to observe u are getting it back to normal: u might experience serious overheating, which can cause serious engine damage...

it always looks easy to DIY, yet many times those DIYers will have missed out major stuff even during "just an oil change"; u might have saved a little bit of money but u could have ended up spending much more, just like gambling...

ur car is going straight doesn't mean the wheels are straight...

if wheels are \ \ then for sure it goes left, or / / then it goes right; if wheels are | \ it will still pull left, or | / it will still pull right...

yet if wheels are \  / or  /  \, the car will still seems to go straight but u will get uneven wear like others scenario
