echo

My 2000 echo is about to hit 340,000 miles and is still going. The manual steering rack bushings are just about worn out and I can't find just the replacement bushings? I bet there's a Toyota car that uses the same size bushings from energy suspension or something. Anyone ever solved this issue...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has or knows where to find the RS3200 vip alarm system manual for the Echo/Vitz/Yaris. It would be great if it is the echo version, as I'm trying to install it myself. I tried looking online, but to no avail, I could not find it. I do not need the manual for the...

Owner of Toyota Echo 2004 1.5L VVTI manual 200k, we have heard a grinding noise only when accelerating or shifting. Took it to a few mechanics only to be told by all of them to change the clutch plate. So we changed it, but taking the old one out, we realized nothing was wrong with it. Having...

Hello, I am replacing a wheel stud on a 2001 toyota echo as a friend of mine over-torqued it (I have too much nerve damage from a car accident so I can't use my hand properly sometimes), and managed to break one of the wheel studs on the right rear wheel. This is pretty different from what I am...

Hey everyone! I own a 2003 Echo (4dr) and I was wondering what sizes are similar to the stock 185/60R15 tire size and 5Jx15 ET45 rims. I was trying to find alloy wheels for the summer but I couldn't find any online or at any nearby auto stores. 4 factors affect my decision process for rims and...

My 2001 Echo's speedometer seems to work fine and accurate unless the car goes over 50mph. When the car is moving faster than 50mph, the needle stays put at 50mph. When the car slows back down below 50mph, the speedometer begins reading accurately again, as long as it is moving slower than...

To help ensure the bad guys don't have an easy time breaking into my car and taking stuff, I want to bold down the trunk release lever inside the car to the floor board. Two questions I have: - Doing this, any risk I would run into anything vital under the floor surface? - Would this hamper the...

Hi All, As title says, my car that has 146k and had no major problem so far. Today afternoon I went to the grocery, drove 3 miles, did a shopping for 10-15 minutes, came back, started to drive a car, and noticed a fine shaking. I stopped at the red light, then at a 4-way stop, and put the stick...

Just wondering if anyone could give me their 2 cents on what tires they think are good for all [wet/dry] weather and handling as well as tread-life for this car? Currently it has Uniroyal Tiger Paws, but they are starting to crack a little..not bad, but thinking I should get them replaced--the...

Hi TN, I have a 2001 Echo 4-door with automatic transmission that is giving me hell. I smelled raw gas fumes coming from the car and checked under the hood and under the car and ended up finding the leak by smelling the fumes right next to the fuel filler door. The car is getting terrible gas...

Hi Guys, I have a 2002 Echo sedan. I'd like to remove the rear seats completely for more storage (I am a musician). I was able to get the bottom foam off, but the seat "backs" are more stubborn. I see there are two bolts on the floor frame in the middle of the seat backs, and one bolt on each...

While searching through the local scrap yards to find a new bumper for my '01 Echo that was rear ended, I indeed happened to find an exact Alpine Silver matching Echo. So I grabbed both headlights and the one remaining tail light just for fun. Long story short my headlights look the 267,000...

The stock air conditioning system in my 2003 Echo failed abruptly last week. The air no longer blows cold when the system is turned on. I've also noticed that the engine "hum" no longer changes frequency (gets lower because of what I assume is the added load) when I turn the A/C on. I checked...
