Hey guys what's up?

Quick question, my friends buying brake pads and asked if the gen 3 3.0 vienta is XV10 or SV10. I have no idea what that means or what it refers to. :help:

Wikipedia says gen 3 camrys, including the Aus Vienta are XV10 but that's all I've been able to find, but then where does the SV10 come from? :eek:

His car is a similar year Corolla and apparently they might share the same brake pads.

Hope this description helps you out there in Sydney. I think the "SV10" is really SXV10, and is being mis-stated.
The Toyota Camry XV10 is a mid-size car that was produced by Toyota between 1991 and 1996 in Japan and North America, and 1993 and 1997 in Australia. The XV10 series represented the third generation of the Toyota Camry in all markets outside of Japan, which followed a different generational lineage. The XV10 Camry range is split into different model codes indicative of the engine. Four-cylinder models utilize the SXV10/SDV10 codes, with VCV10 designating the six-cylinder versions, and MCV10 the later six-cylinder cars in North America only.

In its home market of Japan, the XV10 Camry iteration was known as the Toyota Scepter. This was due to the Camry name being adopted by a smaller version of the same car in Japan, similar in size the previous generation compact-sized Camry sold globally.

In Australia, the third generation Camry was sold under three names. Along with the Camry itself, a version badged as the Holden Apollo was also sold as a result of a model sharing arrangement between GM Holden and Toyota at the time. Toyota from 1995 onwards, also began badging the six-cylinder versions of the Camry as the Toyota Vienta in the Australian-market.

Thanks for the links, it's interesting because every time I buy a part I see SV20, they all fit and say they come from my care but I've just never come across it before :S Oh well, maybe it's a Vienta thing

Look on the sticker on the driver's door, where it says "Model:"

Yep, since being on here I've been slowly learning more about my car and how it runs, considering I had no idea behind why a car worked and no mechanical experience when I joined I think I'm doing ok :)
