Thanks for the info. :smile:

I noticed you change oil only every 15K or so. I assume you're on synthetic?

I use conventional and do it every 5-6K.

Also, I've been curious at how long people's struts last on the Yaris. I haven't seen anyone replace them accept for those who have lowered their car. With the exception of Triniper4mance who changed them somewhere around 450,000 miles. So Nook... yours are still good at 275+K? That's impressive.

I was in a shop recently and a sign says "experts" recommend changing shocks/struts every 50,000 miles. LOL.

They aren't like new (and who knows...may have contributed a slight bit to the 'feel' I was getting on some of those rural roads near Table Rock Lake in Missouri), but in normal driving they still seem fine. If you look at post #1 on Trini's 500,000 mile thread (where he still updates his repairs/maintenance), IIRC (but I might not be :biggrin:) he replaced his shocks and struts once before at about 150k (so twice overall). While viewing his videos, you can see he doesn't drive his Yaris gingerly :biggrin:. This (and a non stock setup) I would imagine might contribute to a shorter life for some parts. Member yaris9876 has 403K + miles on his Yaris, and I think the original shocks and struts were still on his Yaris at 403k.

No...only dino oil. Given the things that Exiwolfman has seen at work, I've been thinking that frequent changes probably make even more of a difference in climates with very harsh winters. However, on a LOCAL (to me) call in auto show this morning (not re a call about a specific car) they were saying, generally, it is more important to change the oil more frequently with engines that have variable valve timing (Yari, of course) than with engines that don't.

3/9/14 - Today: AutoZone - Sylvania Halogen Bulb -$11.90 (10.99 + 91c Tax) for failed driver's side low beam (high beams on both driver's side and passenger side are the 7+ year old factory originals). IIRC, when I replaced the last one, I compared this cost to the OEM Toyota bulb at a dealer....and the OEM bulb was almost 4 x as much.

3/9/14 - Today - 275,441 miles:
Toyota dealer installed the Sylvania Halogen Headlight Bulb (service open 9-2), didn't charge me.

P.S. : :redface: Scratch the 'High Beams are the originals' -- CTScott pointed out on BeefJerky's 'Headlights Out' thread today that the Yaris headlight bulb = 1 Dual Beam (both high and low) bulb.

Same thing with the Toyota tech today in the service drive up, trying to reach that little clip...so he pulled the car inside foir a minute and took the headlight off. My hand is too big as well.

5 months and 20,000 miles :iono:

just shy of 50,000 miles now, couple of syn oil changes, replacing air filter, changed plugs (no difference), still have a low idle stumble every once and a while. just rotated tires and checked brakes front/rear. finally got a ultragauge- the lack of gauges in the base model leaves mea bit worried. have it set up for instant mpg, average mpg, tach, water temp, voltage, and miles till empty- going to see if i can find oil pressure though

been a little while, had to jump on and order some stuff from Garm(microimage)
brakes are getting a little noisy, passenger side pad, although still having more then 50% material left, looks like it has some stress cracking and pedal feel sucks - ordered new rotors and pads, going to flush all the fluid out as well

for future use:
11/5/11 @ 32,500 (purchased shortly before)
4/12/12 @ 50,000
3/15/14 @ 123,494

Got a 2009 sedan/auto with 87,000+miles and climbing. Water pump went south @ 75,000, but overall, a great little car.

I hit the 100,000 mile mark on 2/16. Hope to put another 100,000 in the coming years.

3/29/14 -- I thought my first air filter change was at 131,000 + miles, but I noticed in my log book that the first change was at 74,000 + miles. Given this, I'm now somewhat around 'my average' re miles on a filter (replaced at 74k +, 131k + and 208k +)....so I'll probably buy a new air filter next week (now closed for the rest of the weekend, IIRC) at a Toyota dealer and swap it with the old one.

124,818 front pads/rotors and brake fluid
pads still had plenty of material, honestly think I could have gone 200k miles with oem pads- they were just breaking away from the steel backing :iono: maybe not broke in properly?
discs could have been reused/turned and reused for sure but I wasn't positive what was causing brake shake so I ordered some r1 rotors and hawk pads from micro image.

rear brakes I changed awhile ago, upon the advice of tire dick around 100k miles :rolleyes: . I looked at them before and they didn't have much material... when he mentioned it I figured mileage had been plenty for oem to change anyway. Went ahead and ordered new ones, made the time to change em, pulled the drum off and realized they just don't have much material on them to begin with. But I had new shoes and the time to do it.
btw they quoted me almost 300bux to service rear brakes, so check em yourself they only have maybe 1/8"-3/16" of material

I was flipping the radio dial early this afternon and happened upon a local car maintenance show in the middle of a call. I didn't hear what type of car it was or what was wrong (that came before I tuned in). I did hear that she had purchased the car used with 69k miles on it (which they later said was very low for that car for that model year). One of the hosts asked if the car had been sitting outside for a long time. She said it had. The most experienced host said the air filter may need to be changed. He said (in the thickest local accent you can imagine) if that doesn't work then the impediment might be "a varmint's nest" :biggrin:. I just about fell over laughing. So authentically himself...and knows his stuff. I truly love this state :biggrin:. This little slice of life reminded me that I decided a couple of weeks ago to (in the near future) change the air filter in my Yaris. I stopped by Fred Haas Toyota later in the day (filter was under $22 including tax...same price as the last one, IIRC). So.....

at 277,668 miles ---- Installed new air filter (cost to install = zero....I didn't charge myself :biggrin:)

Yes, Thank you - It still amazes me in regards to the mileage some people here have put on their Yaris' . Just had the 2nd freebie oil change yesterday morning at 6,524 miles, 1 year & 1 day since delivery. Was driving home and noticed the little next oil change due sticky, 11,524...It actually startled me :eek: (don't laugh at me Nook, I'm tellin' ya, DON'T laugh!) Oh yeah I'm thinking, 5,000 miles or 6 months....I'll have 11,500 on the ODO in a few years!

Toyota has been famous for this. We actually just buy filters for HVAC units for homes and cut them to fit, tape the cut edges, and install. Saves a lot of cash because you can get 4 filters out of 1. Plus you can get higher levels of filtration.

2011, 3dr hatch, 5-speed, 106k miles.

A/C fan is a little louder and the cup holders buzz a tiny bit if they are open but no drinks in them.

Have done nothing but changed oil (Castrol GTX) every 3k then 4k miles, replaced air filter once, and 1 set of tires which need to be replaced soon.

This is only my second FWD car and I just noticed that these things go through front tires! After "only" 45k miles, the fronts are almost at the wear bars but the rears have a lot of tread left (look new). I guess I should rotate tires every now and then...

The only "mods" are tinted windows, Tanabe Medalion Touring, and Scion wheels.

I wonder if the roads make a difference. I had a different FWD car when I lived in Orange County (and often drove to different places in LA and LA County) and experienced what you mention above. With my blue Yaris (only a few thousand of all of those miles = on the roads of Southern California) I've averaged 75k per set of 4 (except on two of those sets I squeezed that out of 3 not 4 tires re road hazard replacements)....but I have rotated them :biggrin: .

2010 3dr stick shift, just turned 189k.
rear wheel bearing @ 122k
rear brakes @ 162k, I use the hand brake every time I park so they wore out before the fronts. Front pads still look good.
Also had no cabin filter when purchased.
Change oil every 10k with full synthetic, and it's still good according to my UOA
Great little car and cheap to own, I traded in a VW TDI Sportwagen in on it, and glad I did. Only regret is that Toyota won't sell me a diesel Yaris in the USA.:mad:

Hey all,

I've a 2007 Yaris RS absolute red, with about 97k on it.
Appart for the normal maintenance of oil, filters, wipers change, I had to replace my front wiper motor.
Replace the radio, the flashers (plastic teeth broken on both side), the antenna and the battery. I'll have to replace front rotor and pad soon.
Still in very good conditions considering the winters we have here. Since I've had it used, 5 years ago, it has been shot with oil to preserve it from the rust.

IIRC, 2009 (your year) = the first year without the OEM alternator having a faulty voltage regulator. I sometimes wonder had my first experience with a Yaris been with the alternator in the 2009, would I still have the OEM alternator in my car (the OEM one with the faulty voltage regulator conked out at just under 160,000 miles).

2010 Yaris Liftback

55,000 -ish miles (bought in March 2011 with 6k)
* Front tires in '12
* Battery died yesterday (11-5-14). Was the original and build date for car is late '09, so it was about due to go bye-bye. I'd noticed that it didn't start with the usual enthusiasm these days, and yesterday POOF! Got the cheapie 26r @ Sears.
* Misc stuff: Rear brakes make a noise sometimes, right before car comes to a stop, but usually only when it's hot out, which is most days in SoCal. Heater/AC has that musty smell.

And that's it. Lots of little things I don't like about it, but most can be addressed (sound insulation project coming soon, rear sway bar, etc.)

Don't know how long I'll keep it, but if it's half as reliable as my '88 Festiva, I'll be happy.

And break pedal feel is very mushy..is there a fix for this..maybe new rotors ? .. Even with new pads. I notice no difference in breaking feel.

Also need to replace shoes. As they always squeak and make noise.

Got the cheapie 26r @ Sears.

My 26r from Sears lasted for 3 years (9-9-2009 to 9-9-2012) with somewhere between 85-90k miles driven during that period. On 9-9-2012, Sears was no longer offering the 26r in my area :mad:. I ended up getting a Wal-Mart 26r...and that only lasted 16 months and about 49k miles. We may be the only two members to ever go with the 26r. I hope you have the same good luck I feel I had (given the heat here) with my Sears 26r :thumbsup:.

Today I had the second oil change done on my 2014 Yaris at 6,676 miles (3,003 miles since first change). This time I took it to Brake Check (a Texas chain). I had Brake Check do the last two oil changes on my 2007 Yaris. They have a policy where you get every 4th oil change free. Before those changes, I asked if the 'counting' re those changes was specific to the customer or the car. I was told the customer, not the car. I dropped by about 3,000 miles ago to get the first oil change for my 2014. I was told I was too close to closing and they couldn't squeeze me in. I ended up going to Service First (mentioned on another thread).

Today, at Brake Check, I double checked this. It turns out the company policy (it is a Texas wide chain) has changed. The '4th free' is now car specific. Apparently quite a few people have a range of levels of cars that they own (with varying amounts they are willing to spend on upkeep), and too many people were paying for 3 basic changes on a cheap small car and then using the free one to get a synthetic change on a more expensive vehicle. They gave me over 1/3 off the first change today on my 2014 (because it is a first visit with that car with them). Their regular price is cheaper than Service First. I'll do two more changes with them, plus the free one, and then reexamine the situation. I'll do my next oil change, out of state (probably in Arizona), in a few weeks and then my next one after that at Brake Check when I get back to Texas. This particular Brake Check location did the wheel bearing replacement on my 2007 Yaris at 110,000 miles, and that work is still holding up 190,000 miles later. This location is under new (as in under 2 months) management (much improved :thumbsup:). The new manager told me that even if I had arrived 1 minute before closing for the first oil change for my 2014 (in December), they should have accepted my car and always should under such circumstances.

I just sold my 05 Echo 5 dr with 377,400 km on it and bought a new 2014 5 dr Yaris with 55 km on it.

The 05 was never any trouble. I replaced the clutch at 290,000 km myself. I do all my own maintenance. Hoping to get 300 K out of the new one too.

Welcome :thumbsup:. Is your new 5-door Yaris an automatic or a manual? In the U.S., the 3rd Gen 5-door isn't available with a manual :frown:, unless you get an SE.

The 2014 is a manual. It has the convenience package on it with air, power windows and locks, and came with cruise (although I didn't ask for or pay for it - a happy accident).

Thanks for the welcome. I joined the forum hoping to learn more about the emission control system for the yaris. I've done some troubleshooting on other cars and am looking to gain some insight.

The 2014 is a manual.

:thumbsup: IMO, it is a shame your particular vehicle isn't available in the United States. I would have purchased one....prefer it to the SE re tighter turning circle, and a few other reasons. I wonder if Toyota doesn't offer a non-SE 5-door manual (the XP130) in the U.S. because of a perceived lack of demand. I purchased my 2014 in Florida in August of 2014, but the manufacturing date on the door jamb plate is January of 2014.

Just noticed your '14 is classic silver - mine too!

My '05 was the same or similar color. I figure it doesn't show the dirt as much :laugh:

2007, just over 57k miles.

Other than having the rack & pinion replaced at 40k and the clear coat on the bumpers re-sprayed, it's been smooth sailing.

Well at 57k it's barely broken in ;) Did you drive over a curb or why did the r&p have to be replaced?

The car was involved in a minor fender bender early on when a friend didn't realize I was parked behind her and backed into me. It was a low to no speed impact and I had everything inspected/repaired professionally, so not sure that caused it, but don't know what else might have. Maybe just a factory dud? I opted for the extended warranty, so luckily it only cost me the $50 deductible to have it all replaced by the stealership.

2007 yaris rs 5 door 225,000 km, no major problems, I had an ABS light come on 2 years ago during the spring. Cleaned the connector and it went away.
put on a tooter intake manifold and a 1zz throttle body about 20,00km ago, only issue there is if I don't let the car warm up sufficiently the throttle body gives an over current CEL and limits the rpm to 2000, and that only happens when its below -25. this car has been dead reliable and couldn't be happier with it.

2006 Hatchback, 5 door, 1KR-FE engine.
100,000 miles.

Water pump went bad at 65,000 miles. Made a lot of noise.
Alternator failed at 88,000 miles. Faulty voltage regulator. Drove it around for weeks.

Other than that. A few tyres, brake pads, a battery and an exhaust a bulb or two and servicing. I really can't complain. I drive it like i stole it and it takes me all over the country.

Some electrical problems like the dome light won't turn on, front windshield wiper liquid pump isn't getting electricity. The headlights turned ugly yellow so I changed them, The little engine that could is purring like it's still brand new.

2009 3door HB 121000km.............Front brakes when I bought in at 78000km in Jan. 2014. Other the tuning and moding I haven't had a single issue or part to remove, even the battery is the original. Car doesn't come out winters so this year it's getting TLC over the winter months. Front wheel bearings, water pump, replace the battery...

2015 Manual 5-spd SE, manufactured late 2014 France, purchased late July 2015 Colorado, USA. Currently has a bit over 11k miles on it. Only problem(s) thus far:

- Little plastic fins under front bumper, in front of each wheel installed incorrectly @ factory - dealership corrected under warranty.

- Annoying rattle/buzz in drivers-side side air vent on choppy roads or bumps - dealership corrected under warranty.

So far, that's it. Fingers crossed. :rolleyes:

Yaris 2010 AT

60k

The current problem I'm facing is if it idles in drive and AC on the rpm drops to 500 some times below end up causing a vibration (twice the engine shutdown)

Overall this car is awesome. But can any body help with this problem?

A little over 66k miles in my '07 lift-back and I just had to replace the alternator. Mechanic said it was barely making enough power to run the car. Nine years old and all I've had to replace is the water pump, driver's side axle seal and now the alternator.

Best $12,500 I've ever spent lol!
