Got a 2016 Corolla with a CVT that doesn't have a launch gear with 265,000 mi on it and just now need a CV axle and rear wheel bearing. Toyota does make a great car
That is, unless he's already paid by them to CONSTANTLY rave on about Toyota's while he slags just about every other car manufacturer's wares at every opportunity?!
People always complain about hybrid,electric,etc. BUT, I would take everyday a hybrid instead of those downsized turbo engines Take the CR-V,a little 1.5L turbo while the hybrid is a 2.0L naturally aspirated. Was originally a 2.4L tank
From my understanding, this CVT is made by Aisin so you can buy the Aisin CVT FE fluid instead of paying twice as much for the same stuff that has the Toyota label on it
The issue with it is water still finds it way underneath all that and then it rusts even faster because you’re not washing it regularly underneath all that plastic since it’s harder to get to. Seen it myself
I really don't want to correct Scotty, but as far as I know the Corolla 2.0 Hybrid doesn't use a belt driven CVT with launch gear. It uses an "eCVT" that uses a planetary gear set instead of a belt. The only thing similar to a belt in it is a CHAIN that transfers the power from the gear set to the axles. EDIT: or do they use different transmissions in europe? I'm gonna have to look it up in my 2.0 corolla manual as I really couldn't find a transimission code on the internet
Scotty your doing this wrong you suppose to get the tranny a certain temperature before you drain it Toyota says this and also wait till it comes out the fill plug that would indicate its at the right level
They great cars. I have the exact 2022 but sedan SE ( even in red ). Mines at 35k miles now i've owned it since new. I have zero complaints about it and not sure how others drive but I get 40 mpg to 46 mpg depending if i am on country roads or freeway. I am considering in about a year maybe less to go get the Camry. My wife has the 2022 Camry what a machine!!!! But yeah Corolla is good too. lol
I get up to 55mpg on a flat highway! I got the 22 hatchback. Granted, when I'm that slow on the highway I cruise control behind a semi with good mudflaps. The sensors are really nice, it'll brake all the way to a slow roll and accelerate back to speed pretty reliably. I especially love it when it's heavy, slow traffic
@@AmateurFixItGuyYeah I read that. I don't have a problem with the hybrid either since its a Toyota and there are no better hybrids than Toyota's but I am sure the price will climb.
Model inflation. Modern day Corolla is much larger than the Corolla of the 90s. The affordable reliable Toyota nowadays is the Yaris sedan. Not available in the US.
@@viniciusdavila2737 Yep, I'm located in Australia & the two most popular, large family cars down here throughout the '80s, '90s & early '00s were the Holden (GM) Commodore & the Ford Falcon...my mother purchased a brand new Honda Accord VTI-L back in 2011 & when she first parked it beneath the carport, I told her that it appeared to me that it was larger than my father's (who had passed away from a very aggressive & inoperable brain tumour only a few months earlier) '09 Commdore SS V8 & sure enough, when we checked & then compared the measurements of the two cars, the Accord was indeed longer than the Commodore, by a few centimetres & about the same width as well!!
You showed belt CVT Toyota does not use this, it is a eCVT with motor generators to charge the battery when braking, it also does not have a 1st gear the toroidal gear is a power split device to charge the battery It,s proven reliable it's a Prius underneath
Actually to check the fluid level you need to have the scan tool hooked up to check trans temp, vacuum pot, etc. if you just drain fluid and replace what you measure that doesn’t tell you if your fluid was low in the first place. Look it up the procedure it’s a pain that’s why Toyota doesn’t check your trans fluid level during routine service.
Scotty did not say, why a 2 year old car, needed a fluid change. What about the filter? That is a really stupid complex design, for draining and filling the transmission.
Ibhave several Toyotas, never changed the trans filter, only drain and fill. Those fiters don't need changing unless there's an issue and you suspect possible metal. But with regular maintenance they pretty much stay clean
Amazes me that the American Big Three and Jatco dont copy the Toyota CVT. Just shows how much they dont giveva crap about long term reliability. Long term reliability is the best advertising in the auto industry.
CVT's only got a bad name because Jayco provided the lowest bidder transmissions to a couple providers notably Nissan. Toyota's CVTs actually are designed using the same quality and engineering time as their automatics therefore they are just as reliable as their automatics
consider that if you bolt things down into the body, that leaves entry point for corrosion. the plastic clips dont cause any bare metal access to the body for good ole road salt to get in
I’d rather have those plastic clips Scotty. Screws on those plastic to plastic surfaces don’t last long and threads get stripped. I don’t mind the plastic clips. I got a big bag of replacement clips I got online for a few bucks. They work fine.
Closed off bottom - I was lucky as the Elantra seals off areas where you are unlikely to need access - the edges in the middle. The only thing I don't like is that headlamps are way to hard to access - why do they not make headlamps a 5 minute job.
The secondary piece he took out from the drain plug area actually acts as a leveling straw if the transmission is at operating temperature. CVT fluid is also now a myth. Valvoline Maxlife ATF now covers majority of common cvt specs in addition to the regular ATF specs.
I did the same job on my Sisters 2014 Corolla with the CVT. Only about a Litre of fluid actually drained out though, even after removing the straw. So it will need to be done multiple times which is annoying.
@@morebeer7673 Better to buy a certified Toyota that has come off lease. If it had regular oil changes it will be a far better purchase than the other crap being sold new.
I notice scotty keeps his floor jack in place to keep the car jacked. The jack stands are for safety. However everywhere else ive seen the car lowered onto the jack stand. The jack itself isn't used again until you're done and its time to lower the car.
Yep, that's always been my experience as well, mate...that's why the sills of cars always have the reinforced sections at the front & rear of each one, in order to accommodate the jack stands of which you speak/write...I LOVE my jack stands & would NEVER get beneath my car without using them, no matter how much I trust my lovely & fairly new-ish Kincrome jack!!
Owned about 7 toyota prius and never changed the cvt trans fluid. I reached 400k miles and donated, and the others reached 300k plus. Deers is what killed my cars, lol. I purposely tried to see if the cvt would fail, but no. Runs smooth as day one. Oil changes every 5k and spark plugs every 100k etc. I also have a manual srt for the weekend. 😅
The astro turf story reminds me of an old tire story. Guy bought a piece of scrub land and set up "shop" to allow tire dealerships to bring their old tires and pay him a fee to take them. Improperly stored, 30,000 tires later, the land filled up and nobody can find him. Supposedly got 5 bucks a tire.
Yeah I hate those covers. We have two Prius with them and a couple SUVs without and it's nice to not have to mess with them. I agree with all your complaints about them and their stupid fasteners!
Bought a '24 Corolla hatch recently and it really has pissed me off. It drives great, gets great gas mileage, looks amazing, yes, but! There are two major issues: 1: The HVAC fan blower emits this horrible high-pitched noise, at about 15 kHz (google "online tone generator" and see what I'm talking about). It's impossible to fix because it comes from an integrated circuit in the fan speed controller. Totoya and the dealership both say it's a "characteristic of the vehicle" and refuse to do anything about it. So all I can do is muffle it with tape. 2: The speakers sound like garbage. I talked to a car audio professional the other day and he said, he had worked on one of these and discovered the bad sound was coming from *the head unit*. The source signal is bad!! So it doesn't matter how much you upgrade your speakers or amplifier, it's still going to sound like crap until you get a new head unit, or install an expensive, fancy system to correct the distortion from the radio controller. Explains why sound quality in the cars with the upgraded JBL sound systems is still trash even with nice, expensive speakers. I know Toyota has great engineers and make a car that lasts, but damn, all those guys must be deaf or something. Because the audial experience of this car is actually a nightmare.
after car is cold over night...i drain cvt fluid.....then fill with original toyota oem transmission fluid ( cold )....untill it start to come out from top ( fill ) hole .....my car running good...no problem.....just my opinion....
07 camry se 148k. I will keep my car at least a few years until this crazy car market settles down. will it? my first camry. bought in in 18 with 106k. have done a lot of repairs water pump fuel pump front bearings lower control arms, alternator, brakes all around. drive it in northern nj and nyc so that takes a toll.
Right there with you with a 02 Landcruiser 345,000 miles,and 03 Corolla with, well I’m guessing close to 500,000 miles, odometer stopped at 299,999! They all do (Corollas)and Matrix, and that was 12 years ago!😂😂😂
@@josephherron744 they all do? I change the oil every 5k with synthetic. 4k recently. I want a 15 to 17 yet i bought a new fuel cap and saw a guy with a 15 to 17 looking at a 23 lol. land cruiser is like a timeless museum piece. I have the dreaded oil burner. I think the 4 cyl corolla engine is the one of the best made. I had a celica in college so it is natural to come back to toyota.
I noticed that you only jacked up one side of the car when you changed the CVT fluid. Just a piece of advice from one of your fans. Whenever I change any of my vehicle's fluids, whether oil, transmission, or coolant, I always jack up both sides to assure even and maximum drainage of whatever fluid I'm changing. It also prevents residual fluid from collecting in whichever corner or side is the lowest. In fact, since I drive a manual transmission (I bought the last of Toyota's 5-speed manual Corollas...BOOYAA), I need to jack up the back end as well as the front to assure it fills up to the proper level upon refilling.
I looked at a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback in a dealership showroom. I really wanted to like and buy that car. The front passengers seats have much more room than a Corolla sedan. However, the back passengers seats woefully lack legroom. Lastly, the worst thing about that car is the trunk looked more like a glove box. Do not plan on going grocery shopping, or plan on taking a trip in that car. A suitcase that fits in the overhead compartment of an airplane will fit in that trunk. Any suitcase bigger than that and you are outa luck.
I drove last week 2024 Corolla LE gas engine. No hybrid. Gave me 34 mpg combined for 3 days. It was rental car. I was thinking hybrid would give 40-45+ mpg.
In the rustbelt, plastic clips are sometimes preferred to screws or nuts that tend to rust away, get stuck and break, especially small 10mm studs. Plastic clips are easy and cheap to replace.
You can use a siphon hose to put the fluid in but it will take some time. I like to buy as few things as possible (plus tax) That is why I always do my own brakes. Save lots of tax on labour. (Labour minus tax, HST)
@@Ziegfried82 do you know why toyota is the best because they wanna know why something failed and they fixed the problem not like Chevy not like Ford not like Hyundai they want to know why the system failed that’s the Japanese mentality they want to fix it and make it right
Id buy the civic SI or the civic sport over this...im a honda ,mazda and old ford guy...the civic SI and the civic sport are some of the only new cars that come with a standard tranny..i woukdnt buy brand new....but those are the only newer ones id buy
One of my vehicles has a plastic undercarriage shield with a cut outs to get at the drain plug and oil filter. Unfortunately when the flow slows down the plastic shield catches the dirty oil and it runs out the front, far from the catch pan.
I have an 07 Ford Focus with 288k miles with a manual transmission and I get 26-28 mpg city/highway combined and 34-36 highway, so I'll keep this until I can find a Toyota and can afford it
Im getting 52 to 55 mpg at 60 mph on the highway.. although when im cruising at 60 im staying behind semis with good mudflaps and utilize the cruise control with proximity sensing. Itll keep a perfect distance behind a vehicle until a dead stop. Then i have to press the gas to start going again. I do hover over the brake tho when i see brake lights, it just feels wrong totally trusting sensors to brake for me
I'm sticking to old cars. Give me a 360 and a 727 torqueflite and I'm good to go. Edelbrock makes fuel injection systems and MSD ignition systems for older vehicles to preform as reliable daily drivers.
@@TheopolisQSmith , What the exception of slant 6 engines. The newer gasolines tend to vapor lock faster than c***. I've found that converting those to fuel injection is a necessity.
I have a 2014 Camry that has a regular 6spd automatic but they still have the same stupid design of changing the ATF, meanwhile I also have a 2013 Honda Civic that has a dipstick so you can actually check and fill the fluid from the top and a traditional drain plug. Toyota sure tries to make it difficult to perform basic maintenance. It also has the paper oil filter element inside the metal housing, why can’t they just use a traditional spin-off oil filter like my Honda and practically every other car out there?
2023 Tacoma 4x4 Sport 3.5. What brand of cold air intake would you put on if you were going to do it. Great channel watched you for a couple of years. THX
I have never been answered in the comments. I have a 2018 outback CVT it's a sealed system. Manual says nothing on changing trans fluid. Should I do it? It's got 93k
Hello, on a cold start my 2013 suzuki swift vibrates violently when put into D /R . When it gets hot the car dies as soon as it is shifted into D/R. Idles in park. I changed the transmission fluid but that didn't help.
i had a similarily painful experience trying to get my diffuser off. it uses plastic rivets as well. can't imagine having to do this procedure every time in order to get access to the cvt..
