i think its time we get one to post everything in so people dont ask the same questions everyday. can we do that?

 

[PhatRoyale]

yep, a FAQ is definitely in order.

why don't you start yourself?

maybe other members will chime in with their opinions as well and we can compile a list of common questions.

 

[Bdub215]

sure i could. i'd need some time to gather everything together though

 

[RoachRolla]

here's some:
"what can i do to give my corolla more power?"
"what # light bulb do i need to change X component?"
do i get a cookie helping?

 

[Banana_Boat]

only if you answer the 2 questions u said =)

I got the light numbers (for the interior anyway)
(Below are commonly asked about)
Cluster=3 194 bulbs
HVAC=2 74 bulbs
Shifter=1 74 bulb
Ignition ring=1 74 bulb
I'm glad someone decided to do this because i was searching for this info on and off for about a month now and i just finally got all i needed to finish up.

 

[Bdub215]

if it helps any send me all the links to the threads or websites and what it goes to (i.e intake, exhaust etc). im trying to tidy everything up and because of school/work i havent got any time should be finished by or on weekend. thanks bdub

what about a sticky on FAQ about procedures to go about replacing xyz components. nothing fancy, just info for average joe to save money. maintanence interval etc. check out vwforum.com ..they have good stickies. i'm selling my vw to get a corolla Also about CEL light error codes and diagnostic procedures ..that would be wonderful.

We really need a section called Repairs.. I find this very lacking on this forum. maybe vw breaks far more frequently. it's funny, on that forum, a good friend of my has a modified vw that he loves a lot, yet he's afraid of taking it for a long drive.. i'm getting my corolla 99 today, and according to record, this car has been to NY and back to CA!

I've never had any problems with my Corolla. That's Toyota for you.

 

[gcorolla99]

well, the seller did drive the car from CA -> NY and back. not sure if that did anything to the car.

I'd like to see an DIY valve cover gasket tutorial for the 99 corolla / 8th gen with torque specs. I'm going to look t hrough the haynes book and report back if it's there. I hear it's easy to ruin the gasket by over torquing even half a turn. I think the FAQ should contain links to very common DIY such as:

a) valve cover gaskets.
b) sparkplugs.
c) transmission pan / manual transmission flush.
d) common error codes.
e) interesting basic stuff.
