100,000 mile club

[Greytimberwolf68]

i was just wondering how many others have gotten their Yaris over the hill.

[ctrj]

92k...I'll hit it easily by the end of the year.

[JumpmanYaris]

Check how many this member has :

I'm at 95K

[swidd]

87,000, and its running smoother and better than ever. Just breaking it in.

[IllusionX]

84k km so far...

[fidgell]

I just hit 180000km....2006 RS

[BLOODY_STONE]

3000 km so far !! :-D my yaris is still new

[N9QGS]

I just hit 135,000 mi. this week. 07 Silver Sedan S, but also today I have my first failure of a part, the backseat button you lift up on to lower the seat to access the trunk area broke. Trying to find out how to get that repaired. :-(

[Emerge]

I'm around 122,000 miles. There should be a thread about care and maintenance for the older/high mileage cars.

[trini_per4mance]

Hey guys, can I join this club?.....lol

[10DG22]

Mileage update?

[scape]

I've hardly broken her in yet from '07!

[devinlamothe]

162,000 kilometers or 100,662 miles.

Still going strong like the day I bought it!

[20104dr]

i"m @ 2500 in 3 weeks

[Astroman]

I'll be here next year, 80.5k

[bankrobber]

I'm at 88K with 07 HB need to get to 140,000 miles for the car to pay for it's self in gas savings

[Kal-El]

Next year I'll hit it with my '07. At 82,000 miles now - no repairs or problems yet.

Most reliable car ever built.


Problem here is that we have those outside of the US reporting kilometers.
100,000 mi = 160,934 km
100,000 km = 62,137 mi

Do guys that use km still use round numbers as your milestones - 100,000 km, 200,000 km, ect...? Because to us, those are pretty random when converted to miles.

Then again do you even call them MILEstones? :biggrin:

62,137 miles ain't no milestone. :tongue:

[landrym28]

No, we call them kilostones :wink:

[ctrj]

We just came back from a 2,200 mile road trip. The car is now at 95k. I should hit 100k by July or August. I've got new Toyota spark plugs and coolant which will be done once the car hits 100k.

[vwtech]

Hey guys, can I join this club?.....lol




400k is simply amazing I could do that many in mine I just need to find some better seats.

[mick.wheelz]

@ 110,000kms now :)

[glhsracer]

i was just wondering how many others have gotten their Yaris over the hill.

My 2008 Sedan is running close to 80,000 now, no problems. Should hit 100K by winter. I commute about 110 miles a day and make a 400 mile trip to Ohio every 4 weeks or so, couldn't imagine doing without my Yaris.

[nazier]

on 115000km and still looking like new

[Kal-El]

Just joined the club yesterday. '07 with NO repairs done (outside of new serpentine belt as a precaution). Runs/rides/feels like new.

[detroiter]

congrats!

got mine in dec 07 and just turned 91k.

[Betrivent]

I've got about 130km

I dont consider it over the hill yet, not even middle aged but I am at 105,270.
2007 Hatch Back. Only repairs outside PM has been a light bulb for the fan speed switch.
Car is stock no mods

[41magmag41]

will join the 100000 mile club in about a month or two. Cost of ownership, 1 set of snow tires with factory rims, 1 set of all season tires, oil and filter changes and of course the abs sensors and wiring harness on both rear wheels, done at toyotas expense. Cheapest car I've ever owned. Just getting broken in.

[contraband831]

174k and runnin' love my LB

[Idahotom]

I've had mine inside the shop (parked, that is, not being worked on) the last 2 months, (58 K miles is all) because during the winter months I drive my Toyota Corolla All-Trac. My "plan" is to drive the Yaris in the spring/summer/fall, and save wearing out the Corolla by just driving it when I HAVE to have all wheel drive. I'm talking 6 to 12" of unplowed snow, on a mountain, not just a little flat land ice! 140,000+ on the All-Trac, and it drives like new, I fully expect the same will be true of the Yaris, it has that same tight feeling....!

If things keep going as projected I should be there in 3-4 months. Since my last post on this thread I've added 13k miles in 8 months.

[Astroman]

Well it took me a little longer than expected (which is fine by me) but I hit my 100k miles in town on Saturday afternoon. :headbang:

Yes mazilla, please shed some light!

It's not that we don't believe it but proof must be given. :smile:

In fact, we do have another member with nearly identical mileage on his '07 sedan. You may have him beaten slightly if this was 4 months ago.

Courier I'm guessing?

[Betrivent]

^ the other guy was also a courier ;P

[SilverBack]

Barely hit 73K after 3 years, and as of last year doing 200 miles a week + long drives to Auto-X and Time Attack runs. This time next year for sure. Give me time, baby.

Im at 26,000 miles 2.4 years in on my 09.

Fastest I have ever loaded the miles on.

It's not photoshopped, however I did have a malfunction with the fuel gauge and I thought it was a problem with the display so I swapped that gauge with a Junkyard special...now my odo shows 200k.

I bought this car 4 months ago(for 2500) from a courier company that I purchased. They had a fleet of yari(is that the plural form of Yaris?). The odometers on the 20 or so 07-08 hatchbacks ranged from 350k-500k.

The only real details I have for thiis particular vehicle are 1. It was serviced every Sunday(along with the rest of the fleet) as they put about about 500 miles a day on this one. 2. The engine was swapped between 200k-250k miles ago. They had some engine problem and it was cheaper/easier to just swap in another motor.

Currently the car runs like a champ....

[Kal-El]

^^ Thanks :smile:

They've all made their way to a dealership

[bronsin]

DEALERSHIP?

How could they sell used cars with that many miles on them?

What they want them for?

[Kal-El]

I'd buy one for bragging rights. :tongue:

And to see how far I could take the mileage.

Carmax came and got them all in one shot. They'll probably go to other commercial operations, as a fleet vehicle they are easy/cheap to maintain.

[bronsin]

The only thing is the 60k mile valve clearance adjustment.

But you never hear of people adjusting them.

You never hear of problems...

[Astroman]

Damn that's insane. Now I feel like I'm complaining I'm 30 to someone in they're 60s, lol.

[foxfab]

About to turn 150000 mi on my 07 Yaris Sedan auto. Did a water pump at 100K, (started squealing) and an alternator (replaced with used 2009 alt) at 110K. Other than that, its just been routine oil changes, serp belt, trans flushes, tires, filters, etc. My center console has a split down the middle. My a/c is out too because of road debris through the condenser. Still have original brake pads on it.

[bzinn 1]

I am at 58000 miles today......car runs and drives like new......like new....only real drive trane mod I did was put in synthetic oil......great car.

[N9QGS]

foxfab, Im so sorry to hear of your problems with your Yaris, mine has 185,300 on it and I have had to replace nothing, and no cracks either. Planning to pick up another yaris as I am so impressed with them, I hope my second one will be as awesome as the first.

[yarisAP]

I bought mine 3 weeks ago, 07 sedan auto with 226K on it. Engine still sounds good and drives well.

I'll probably put 50K on it a year. Bought it for 6K CAD and if I get 3 years out of it i'm a happy camper

Note: ABS and "!" light is on...

A little over 95K on my 2007. One more oil change and she will be there.

[yarisAP]

Cool!

Don't worry, it's got a long life ahead of it. :smile:

In terms of oil changes, I plan to do every 8K but is it advisable to use synthetic? Will that extend the life of the car? Will it lengthen the intervals between oil changes?

[A-tron]

Just rolled over to 80k my self.
No repairs, but she needs some breaks.
I love this car

[Kal-El]

In terms of oil changes, I plan to do every 8K but is it advisable to use synthetic? Will that extend the life of the car? Will it lengthen the intervals between oil changes?

I personally do the Toyota recommended 5,000 mile interval (I may stretch it to 5,500) and just use regular oil.

Synthetic is nice, but expensive, so it's up to you. I just don't think it's necessary on a car like the Yaris. Typically though, you can certainly go longer between changes with the synthetic so it may balance out in costs somewhat.

There's not much hard evidence as far as engine longevity.

Thank you so much for the advice, that was helpful

[brg88tx]

i think that dude with over 400,000 miles used walmart supertech synthetic every 10,000 miles. that's what i do too.

[foxfab]

Oh, I'm not complaining. The water pump took an hour to replace as did the alternator. Alt was only $45. Water pump was around $100 I think. I hope to get another 150000. The kids have nicknamed her Zippy.

[mark293]

Im at 110k with 10k mile oil changes using M1. I swap the OE or NAPA gold oil filters out at 5k mile intervals. Front brakes are at 50%. Just bought some 100k mile Hankook Optimos tires. Ready for the next 100k. Serpentine belt was replaced at 90k.

[yuri2002]

07 Yaris with 137,500 miles. I changed oil every 5-6K miles. Manual transmission fluid replaced once at 85K. Coolant Change at 91K. Alternator crapped out at 125K (OR SOONER!) Had to change alternator and belt at the same time. Brake Pads prematurely replaced at 75K because I heard squeaky noise. LOL
FX HID projector installed at 5K and I still loved it!! Average mileage is 36-40 and I am constantly going over 70MPH on the highway. Now my front bumper looked like my old buick...but this car has been the lowest cost of ownership/mileage driven EVER!

[BennyLava]

For a 4 cyl toyota (or a honda) I think the 300K mile club might be more appropriate. 100K is just breaking one of these things in.

[Tardis]

280,000 km (174,000 miles) last Sunday. Just sheered the original alt belt off last week after replacing the water pump. Front brakes twice, oil changes, front wheel bearings, patched the exhaust and replaced the bull ring up front. Old girls been pretty good to me.

[barebonedvitz]

i hit 168,300miles 2years ago off my '07.. no problems... haven't even changed the breaks yet... call it crazy.. had it checked by my mechanic but he said it still had 500 miles left before i could change anything... i down shifted and i would glide till i really had to step on the breaks...

too bad it got totalled 2yrs ago. :P.. i would've been first to the 300k club. hehe :P oh well..

[N9QGS]

Im 4 weeks away from 200,000. I have 3 issues with mine which I have not repaired, I have a P0420 converter I think is inefficient, have the occasional ABS BRAKE light during winter, and occasionally when very damp ill get the voltage regulator acting up and it generates a battery light. None of these seemed very pressing to fix, but I have the money too, I think I will get the check engine like off first if I do any of the three.

[bronsin]

In terms of oil changes, I plan to do every 8K but is it advisable to use synthetic? Will that extend the life of the car? Will it lengthen the intervals between oil changes?

NO!

If you change the oil per the owners manual (regular oil) the engine will last twice as long as the rest of the car.

Also, in case you think snythetic oil will give better fuel consumption, that aint so either.

I drove 5200 miles to Alaska this past summer on regular oil. Drove 5200 mile back on synthetc oil.

No difference in mpg.

Synthetic Oil. Its all in your head.

[michaelsimony]

365.000 km in 9 years

[bronsin]

365.000 km in 9 years

What kind of fuel consumption are you getting with that diesel?

Thanks!

[menz]

I did 255 thousand kilometers that is around 158 thousand miles. The engine is still running strong and my auto transmission. I drive mostly on highways. My issues started after 200 k. thermostat, front bearings and fuel pump and filter. That is all I had issues for now.

[detroiter]

at about 128,000 miles and so far I've had to replace the water pump only, as far as anything crapping out on me. I've had the SRS light coming on and off lately but the car drives just fine, so I'm not going to worry about it for the moment. Never hit anything with the car so I can't understand why the SRS light would be coming on.

[nookandcrannycar]

208,193 miles on mine....only tires at 70k, an air filter change, and oil/filter changes until replaced front wheel bearings at almost 111k. Since then only Battery at 138k, tires again at 140k, headlight and rear plate bulbs once each between 140k and 171k, alternator at 159k, oil/filter changes, serpentine belt and rear brake adjustment and cleaning (front and back brakes only 20 percent worn) at 207,135 miles...and bought some 50-50 coolant mixture at the stealership (belt and brake adjustment not at stealership) and added coolant to bring overflow reservoir to proper level. I bought 4 spark plugs at the stealership yesterday (Denso iridium) and will have the belt and brake adjustment place put them in....then back to a stealership for an engine air filter that I'll put in myself.

[broody]

We have only one yaris at work with around 100 000 miles (100% of city driving). The older they get, the shittier they get too, so we try to avoid the older cars and the recent ones are quickly making more mileage.
The cars are beaten, so many parts were changed.

[devinlamothe]

I'm at 250,000km and nothing majorly wrong (knock on wood) yet. I do have the ABS issue but that's it other than normal maintenance.

Synthetic oil is not just a myth for offering better performance than crude oil. I've posted some advantages below. I've bolded MY personal reasons for switching to synthetic based on my own situation (taken from Wikipedia):


Measurably better low- and high-temperature viscosity performance at service temperature extremes
Better chemical & shear stability
Decreased evaporative loss
Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown, and oil sludge problems
Extended drain intervals with the environmental benefit of less oil waste.
Improved fuel economy in certain engine configurations.
Better lubrication during extreme cold weather starts
Longer engine life
Superior protection against "ash" and other deposit formation in engine hot spots (in particular in turbochargers and superchargers) for less oil burnoff and reduced chances of damaging oil passageway clogging.
Increased horsepower and torque due to less initial drag on engine

An acquaintance has a 2010 3 door base with the automatic and going on 140,000 miles . Used for his business .

[nookandcrannycar]

I'm currently at 241,132 miles. Re original owners, Contraband831 usually has at least 2-5k more miles than I do on his car and TheSin is probably ahead of me by this time (he puts 10,000 miles a month on his Yaris)....plus there are probably some that I've missed. Tops among Yarisworld members who are original owners is likely triniper4mance. Per the comments on his You Tube channel he hit 490,000 miles a month ago and posted again yesterday, but didn't put his current mileage.

An XP 10 owner (1st Gen - ECHO in the U.S.) with the You Tube screen name mjuhanil posted his mileage to the comments on trini's channel 3 months ago....he had just hit 1 million kilometers on his 2002 ECHO. mjuhanil has his own You Tube channel and his videos show his odometer at 999,999 kilometers and at other 50,000 kilometer intervals.

Yarisworld member yaris9876 has over 350,000 miles on his Yaris, but I don't think he is the original owner. Mazilla probably has the most miles overall on his Yaris. He isn't the original owner and the engine has been replaced, but his posts show, IMO, that he keeps it looking great.

[nookandcrannycar]

I think the CV boots on the Yaris are amazingly durable. My OEM ones are fine. They were crap on my GTI. Eventually, an aftermarket company made a CV boot kit that I used. The kit came with a 2 piece boot, glue, and the lubricant. This design allowed replacement with the car on the ground. I did this replacement myself with the car on the ground. In this kit the boots were made out of a different material than the OEM ones. I never had another CV boot problem after installing those aftermarket boots.

530,000+ now, but so much has been replaced in the name of performance over the last couple years it's not the same car anymore...including the 10k mi engine and trans I just swapped in a couple of months ago.


Thanks, I take pride in making a half-million mile car beautiful. :)

[websurferdude]

2007 Yaris Sedan - Manual Trans - 151,250 miles and still going strong and no problems. Just breaking in. I drive about 98% highway. I still have the factor brakes on it I have changed the spark plugs and the serpentine belt. I just took it to the shop to have the brakes checked and they told me that I still had 5K miles left on them. I bought the car new with only 42 miles on it back in April 2007. Just made my last car payment. I use synthetic motor oil, not synthetic blend but full synthetic (If you don't use full synthetic I would highly recommend that you change) also I use a K&N oil filter and K&N lifetime air filter, I use Shell gasoline, it helps to keep the engine clean.

[nookandcrannycar]

trini is getting closer to 500k....he replaced his Valve Cover Gasket at 492,000 miles on 3-27-13 (per his Yarisworld page that he updates repairs on (with text edits)).

[potorap]

I have 99,700 miles today, will hit 100k by Friday. Yeahhhhhh Yaris.

I'm still a virgin! LOL! Only 35,000 mi. See you in about 7-8 years!

But you've got to be #1 (or close to it) re MPG for a Yaris!

[toad]

within a thousand or so of 150,000 on my 07. only things i've replaced are tires(still on my second set), spark plugs(denso iridiums-should last me till 200,000), air filters(change out every 50,000), and oil(pennzoil platinum w/ mobil1 extended performance filters every 10,000 since brand-new).

hoping i can get 300,000 with the current maintenance schedule. my dash is currently lit-up like a christmas tree with abs, airbag, and cel lights so i gotta get those looked at soon or i'm not gonna make it!

[dfhnpdx]

2009 238,000. Only problems 1 water pump, dome light, headlight. 43 mpg

[SKurj]

Not got my Yaris to 100,000 miles, but my last echo hb I sold at 250,000kms.. (errm whats that 150ish, 000 miles.)
The current one I maybe about to trade in though..

[Yaristeve]

My 2011 3-door hit 100k about 2 weeks ago. It's at about 101,500 now. I haven't done anything other than change the filter and oil. I changed the air filter once and installed a cabin filter.

I keep forgetting to check my owner's manual to see what kind of major service my Yaris deserves at this point.

Add me to the list! At the dealership, they replaced my spark plugs at the 100K service. So far the only major mechanical thing to go bad on the car was the water pump, but even then it was still working fine, just leaking. Was taken care of during the warranty period.

Yeah, Mazilla has well over 500,000 miles now on that Yaris. He bought a courier company that had (among its assets) a fleet of not 1 Yaris but 20 of them. All of them had between 350,000 and 500,000 miles on them! He kept the one he liked best for himself (the one you captured in your post) and sold the other 19.

[twowheels]

I'm a bit late to this old, but recently revived thread.

2009 three door, base model (cruise control the only option), manual transmission, completely stock. Original owner.

111,000 and zero repairs. Tires, filters, oil, spark plugs once, wipers, two lost hubcaps, one headlight. Original brakes and clutch.

I did get a recall letter saying that they need to fix the seat rail springs, but mine is not showing the symptoms. I will get that fixed once they have the parts.

I'd say that this is been extremely reliable car, a great purchase.

Edit: oh, and accessory belts at the hundred thousand mile service.

couldn't the title of this thread be changed....

...say to the 200,000 mile club. something of an accomplishment. Hondas/Toyotas at 100,000....no big deal, right? I considered it an accomplishment when my 1984 chevy citation hit 100k. that was a rare event. I expect most Toyotas and Hondas to hit 200,000 without to much owner costs incurred.

echo/yaris at 100,000. that's as common as an intern who got nailed by david letterman.

Wow, cool...memories! Drove MANY a Citation (& Citation II) They had their share of problems, but all the ones I drove were brand new or close to it.
Those 1985 X-11's with the 2.8 multi-port fuel injection V6's were good for about 130 HP - Gotta love Chevy doing a hot rod version of every model back in the day. I wonder what they would have put under the hood if they produced a Chevette SS :iono:

the non x-11 v6 was the first car I drove once I got my license. my parents also had a matching 4 speed manual citation. by 80,000 miles, just about every interior knob/switch was either falling off or ill fitting. interior panels were getting more and more misaligned. the engine was using so much oil that it had to be checked every 200 miles.

I give chevy credit...they were consistent, as our 4 speed manual had the exact same problems. they were both nursed to a little over 100,000 miles, then bought by a salvage yard.

those citations were what drove my dad to Toyota.

my college car was a 1973 chevy Malibu given to me by my grandmother. that was a big, solid car. but again, the engine was shot by 125,000 miles.

first car I bought myself was a 1989 civic hatch. drove it 210,000 miles with little trouble and never looked at a domestic make for 3 decades.

all cars are decently reliable these days, so I will look at pretty much any make.

[nookandcrannycar]

Chevette SS

For some reason this prompted me to think about one of the videos that Chevy dealers put in these huge, cumbersome video machines with screens in the early 70s. The one video I remember showed a VW Bug going around a corner on a forested mountain road. The Bug rolled over and off the road...out of sight. The video then showed a Vega executing the same corner with no problem at all. This was a promotional video for the Vega.....illustrating stability. Straightforward enough for a naive late tweener/early teenager to figure out.

I think it was past 1975. In 1975, Chevy produced the Cosworth Vega (a car I wouldn't mind owning if I had the time and space) which, IIRC, was produced before the end of Vega production.

IIRC, the Cosworth Vega was black with gold trim. The next year ('76 model year) Ford came out with the 2nd Gen Capri and the (similar to the Cosworth Vega trimmed) 'Le Cat Black' was one of the trim levels. My dad was working for a Ford Dealer at the time, and in '77 someone traded in a '76 Capri...Yellow with a beige interior and a sunroof (and ugh...an automatic)...but the dealership gave it to me for the trade in value (great deal). A few months later, one of my best friends bought a '76 Le Cat Black.

[mryaris]

I have been informed that my 2010 hatchback just turned 100K miles! I bought it new in November 2009 to replace my 2009 Yaris hatchback that I rolled on my way to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The reason I was "informed" of this milestone is I essentially gave it to my dad about 3 years ago and he has been using it as his commuter car ever since.

In 100K miles all I/we have done to it is: keep the gas tank full, change the oil every 5K miles, changed out the trans oil once (about to do it again), changed the tires once and changed the wiper blades a few times. Oh yeah....we just installed a new windshield a couple of months ago.

Without a doubt, it has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I plan on taking control of it again when dad retires next year....can't wait! :)

See you guys at 200K!!

[trunkout]

Just turned 100k. Nothing but tires and synthetic oil. Runs perfect.

Have replaced only the water pump and tires (twice) so far....knock on wood.
Oil is changed frequently.
Next step is adding a trailer hitch so that i can haul my kayak on a trailer instead of trying to prop it up on the car as shown.

interesting.. you are having the same problem.... have you been able to solve it? me not yet.. still digging for answer...pls keep me updated!

my trusted mechanic told me to let it degrade with time and the sound may become louder eventually and it will be easier to spot it (he hints it may be the timing chain).

If it is the bearings (wheel bearings) the sound will get louder :biggrin:. Many moons ago (at 110k+ miles on my now 300k+ miles blue Yaris), I took the old girl in to get her brakes checked. I was told that the brakes were barely worn, but that I needed new front wheel bearings. The shop showed me what they found. I was conditioned to the sound. After the repair.....sooo quiet. The difference was like night and day.

I feel the same way about my egg. However, given the point of the car's 'life' when my accident occurred, it doesn't make sense to make the repairs. I'm going to teach a friend to drive a manual on it (if we can find a big enough empty parking lot :laugh:), and then donate it....in one fashion or another. If I ever come across the proverbial little old lady who has an '11 5-speed Meteorite Metallic or White 3-door with the split rear seat...who 'only drove it to church on Sunday' (so to speak)...and has decided to part with it, I'd probably buy it in a heartbeat.

[nookandcrannycar]

Yeah, plus savings over what? A reference point/comparison point present to figure savings/a break even point. When considering new cars in 2006, I compared the Yaris to the Prius. I figured the break even point was north of 300,000 miles on a Prius, and that assumed not having to replace the hybrid battery.

[trini_per4mance]

Thank you! I currently have roughly a measly 543,000 miles on my Yaris. This may sound crazy to the average person out there, but I'm going to turbocharge it in the near future. My Valve Seals have now started to leak when I run thru the RPM's. So, I'm burning oil and have to top it up about every 1000 miles.

You never answered my question as to why you changed your shifter cables... Lol. I'm really interested to know why and if it fixed your problem. Bcuz currently I have a rattling noise from my linkage on my gearbox. But when I pull or push the shifter towards any gear while in neutral (which I'm basically put tension on the shifter cables by doing that), the noise goes away. So, I was thinking that maybe I should change out my cables too. Let me know what your issue was with your cables.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply to my post :thumbsup:! Sorry, I'm not the member who changed his shifter cables :redface:. You are quite an inspiration, so members like to hear about your current odometer mileage (...and putting on many fewer miles than you used to doesn't change that curiosity) and what you are currently doing with your Yaris :thumbsup:. This has come up on threads since you last posted :thumbsup:. Some of us know we can check your maintenance/repairs and mods on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread. Post #1 on that thread shows the mileage interval that you did repairs/major maintenance, and mods, but doesn't hint to a current odometer level (last update to that page - January 2014). I don't think it's crazy that you're going to turbocharge your Yaris at 543,000 + miles :thumbsup:. Given your maintenance intervals, etc., I'd imagine there isn't a 500,000 mile plus Toyota anywhere in the States that is in better condition than yours. Definitely update post #1 on your '500,000 miles on my Yaris' thread after you install the turbo setup (and create a thread foe thgat as well if you are so inclined :thumbup:). I hope the member who changed his shifter cables answers your question.

110,000 miles roughly on my 06 jap made Hatchback. Pretty impressive considering mine has the 3 cylinder engine made for the Aygo in it. I really don't think Toyota designed it for being driven like its stolen every day.

Servicing, tyres, exhaust, water pump, battery and oddly enough my alternator. Its never once let me down, always done whats needed from it until i could get it to a garage. I also have a little noise that sounds like the thrust bearing might be starting to wear. But I'll wait till it gets worse to do the clutch.

I intend to drive it until it collapses into a pile of rust. If the engine blows up i will just stick a used one in.

161k on 2009 sedan. Bought the car with 40k on it.

My list of troubles are few. But here they are:


1. Front suspension. The shocks were somehow worn out even though the car only had 40k on it, when we got it. Replaced those.

2. I need to replace a ball joint.

3. Belt started squealing and has been replaced. Still squeals sometimes though...

4. Center console door screws backed out. Took it apart, tightened the screws, and haven't had any trouble with it staying shut since then.

5. Headlights having to be polished out.

6. Some of the rubber door seals letting go and flopping a bit. Siliconed them back down.

3. Belt started squealing and has been replaced. Still squeals sometimes though...


Totally forgot - had my belt replaced last year and the problem has gone away. However, this YouTube video suggests it may not be your belt at all:

6. Some of the rubber door seals letting go and flopping a bit. Siliconed them back down.

Forgot to mention this as well - the seal on one side (roof along top of door) has basically rotted out with just some wire there. I need to replace it - they're not expensive, I'm just a lazy dirtbag.

Bought my Yaris sedan in 2008 and so far at 135k miles I have had zero issues that doesn't involve the usual maintenance. Biggest necessity so far was changing the brakes. I also have a Rockford Fosgate amplifier and my second subwoofer and still have its OEM battery.

:headbang:

[soldout]

I'm over 135000 with all the driving I do for work. The only things ive replaced is the battery about 6 months ago. When I got the car it was already 3 years old and my stereo system probably didn't help extend its life. Also the front rotors and pads had to be replaced on my last inspection, they had over 110,000 miles. Other then that just your usual tires, spark plugs, changed the brake fluid, still need to flush the coolant. Car has been absolutely flawless except for the day the battery just quit on me, luckily it was parked in my garage and didn't leave me stranded on the side of the road. I'll probably replace the asscessory belt this year just for piece of mind.

[tmontague]

At 173k km now. Only things replaced so far are the battery and water pump.

This summer I'll be replacing rotors and drums and upgrading front pads. Rotor and drums are rusted to help so the new one will get a coating of paint.

The puck bushings on my control arms are starting to have small cracks in them and are due to be changed. I'll be upgrading to whiteline control arm bushings this summer.

175,9xx on my '08 3 door 5 speed. Rear ABS sensors right after warranty ($1000, grrr), Replaced water pump at 95k. The dealer was going to replace the timing belt on schedule, but when they opened it up, there was a chain! They put in the water pump just because, and sent me on my way. Mostly 40 mpg. Solid little car, but I miss my '94 Geo Metro 1 liter 5 speed...50 mpg...

I'm sure there have been people on here with 300,000 and 400,000 miles and plenty people are in the high hundreds 200,000+ range. My own vehicle is on 130,000 now. I intend to drive it until it's scrap.

My yaris is at 261000 km's so that's about 161000 miles. I have no plans of giving up this car yet. Would drive it across the country and back if I had too. Owned the car 2 years only parts I replaced were sway bar links and a muffler. Soon time to do the brakes as well.

[ern-diz]

There was a user that hit 500k miles, and that was quite some time back. If he still has it, I'm sure he's approaching 1 million.

[bender]

My 2007 hatchback is at 432000 km or 268000 mi. I bought it new 10 years ago and it has been very good to me. I've had to replace the muffler several times, the front wheel bearings, and the alternator, but I think that's reasonable. Any other repairs were the result of impacts with wildlife. That car is responsible for the deaths of at least 4 raccoons, 2 skunks, 2 birds, 1 rabbit, 1 deer, and possibly a beaver? ( I suspect it was already dead before I hit it)

Hahaha, in my defense I should add that all those incidents were unintentional. I didn't even call my insurance company after the last incident, they would sooner write it off than repair it at this point, so I gave up on repairing the cosmetic damage and now my bumper is held together with gorilla tape.

You're a beast dude. :laugh:

The Yaris is a tough little car. I've only gotten one pigeon with mine, but i did have a rather nasty encounter with a rock while on a 7500 mile Euro road trip last year. Bumper was being held on with cable ties and duct tape. I needed a donor front end, front bumper, splash tray.

I drove it 20,000 miles like that. Took me a week to fix it up new. Insurance would have written it off in a second. I hope to get another 10 years out of my 4 wheeled blue turd. :biggrin:

Aww, bitter sweet. Happy you made such a nice amount back on the old gal, but part of me was hoping you'd make it to a million miles and then report in.

What made you decide to sell and what did you replace it with?

[toad]

The dealership we just bought our car from said they had an xB on the lot for a little while with over 500,000 miles on it! It was up front by the main doors and was used by promotion for 'Toyota durability' more than anything else. That is, until a pizza delivery driver from Michigan came down to buy it for his deliveries! Gotta love that 1NZ-FE.

[RutherfordmanX]

Yes I am still out here and my 08 hatchback is approaching 375,000 miles. Have not had anything go wrong lately so I have been quite. So far replaced water pump, alternator and EVAP cannsiter. Thats it accept for general stuff brakes, belts, etc. Wheel bearings may need attention soon or CV joints, something is making alittle noise up there. So far my wildlfe count is one raccoon and one deer. The raccoon I am pretty sure walked away from a direct hit at 60 mph and maybe thought I was bird. He was a big boy and bent the support in front of the radiator, cracked the front plastic. The deer hit me from the side and put a dent in the fender but also walked away.

My 07 Yaris Sedan has about 126k miles on it, there was a grind sometimes during shifting and had the tranmission replace for a small deductible because when I bought the car it came with a lifetime warranty for the power train.

Needless to say, I dont think I will be getting rid of it anytime soon...

And here I was getting worried about approaching 140k miles. I do have a long drive from SoCal to Spokane in a few weeks. Good to know my car can probably make it.

Just made 250k. Drives just like it did when I bought new. People don’t believe me when I tell them I’ve only replaced the brake pads one time since I’ve owned it. I’m torn between my Yaris and my 2007 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor as to which one is the greatest car ever built.
Gotta love it.

Good job, mark293! Hoping to drive my Yaris another 20 or so years. I'm at about 105,000 miles.

[myfirstyota]

What's 366,000km worth? That's where my lift-mobile is at

[mryaris]

I have been informed that my 2010 hatchback just turned 100K miles! I bought it new in November 2009 to replace my 2009 Yaris hatchback that I rolled on my way to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The reason I was "informed" of this milestone is I essentially gave it to my dad about 3 years ago and he has been using it as his commuter car ever since.

In 100K miles all I/we have done to it is: keep the gas tank full, change the oil every 5K miles, changed out the trans oil once (about to do it again), changed the tires once and changed the wiper blades a few times. Oh yeah....we just installed a new windshield a couple of months ago.

Without a doubt, it has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I plan on taking control of it again when dad retires next year....can't wait! :)

See you guys at 200K!!



So here I am checking in at 200K miles! This quote is from July 2014 and I still haven't done much to this car....just basic maintenance. It still has the original brakes! I am about to re-do the pads, rotors, drums & shoes, although I think I can go another 25K miles on the originals. Aside from spark plugs and a coolant flush & fill, the engine is 100% original (including the water pump & alternator!). Runs like a champ! :headbang:


The worst thing about my car is the clear coat has completely failed on the roof, upper doors, hatch & rear quarter panels. That and a decade worth of door dings, parking lot mishaps and the occasional racoon strike. Mechanically it runs as well as it did when I bought her 10+ years ago.

I went several years without driving it much...about 5 years of to & from the airport (40 miles/week). Now I'm doing 900 miles a week, so 300K miles shouldn't take nearly as long as 100K or 200K did.

See you then. :smile:

At 143000 miles on 2012 Yaris Sedan. Dealership recommends me to replace the throttle body and flush the brake lines. What are your thoughts? Also they said that I have a timing cover leakage, which when I dont see any obvious leak. Anyone with the same experience?

[91mustang]

Definitely wouldn’t see a reason to replace the throttle body. Brake fluid can get moisture in it, but if you don’t have issues with the car stopping I would decline that also.

It’s possible you could have a water pump failing, but I wouldn’t trust a dealer that said to replace a throttle body. I’ve personally never seen one fail on any car.

I've only heard of one instance of the throttle body going bad on a Yaris and if one did fail it would be better to get a used one from a scrapyard. No sense in paying for a new one.

I change my brake fluid and flush my lines every 2 years/40,000 miles. You definitely notice a change in the colour of the fluid as you flush the new stuff through. Brake fluid absorbs moisture so it can cause corrosion in your brake system.

I think they are having you on with "timing cover leakage" the timing covers are siliconed on at the factory. They are a bitch to get off and very unlikely to be leaking. You could have your front main seal leaking at the camshaft - that you should probably get fixed if it was the front main seal. Or you could have a coolant leak from the water pump. Mine leaks a little but i'm just keeping an eye on it at the moment because its just a drip. I just top up a few drops of coolant when i service the car.

Hi, I'm a new member here. Been a lurker for quite a while since I acquired my new to me 2008 NCP91L. I bought this car 6 months ago with 146+++kms on it. Now it has 150+++ kms on it. This site is very helpful. So far I had some works done. Oil was changed, engine air filter replaced, cabin filter replaced, sparkplugs replaced, headlight bulbs replaced, serpentine belt replaced, brakes cleaned, pcv valve cleaned. This car is very easy to work with. Mostly I do it myself. Only thing so far that I needed a shop to do it for me is muffler replacement and donut gaskets replacement as the old one had a hole from rust and it was very noisy especially when doing uphill. Maybe I can do the replacement myself but at that time the temp here is consistently on -9 to -20C so crawling under the car is not the best option and I don't have a heated garage. I'm also planning to change the ATF but I don't know yet what ATF to use. To those who changed their ATF, what type and brand of fluid did you use? I am surprised how clean the engine was when I got it. what I mean with clean is no trace of oil leaks, and the engine is quiet. So far I haven't notice any oil consumption. hopefully it stays this way even after 250k.

oh nice! I have an 09. I just turned over 182k. Running fine considering I'm guessing the previous owners didn't take care of the car too well but it makes due! Somewhat loaded. Power everything (from what it has to offer). While I think the 3 door has a cleaner look the 5 door has served me well! Curious. How is your mileage? Mine isn't bad but it's not great either IMO, I get it's not a hybrid but still should get better. It's around low 30s consistently and I try to be good with driving if I can, and it's summer. My standards are high for sub compacts. Granted not all were created equally.

[ECHOKnight2000]

From my understanding they changed from oil based paint to water. So it's thinner but yeah cheap. My car is used so the pain job all over is crapped on. I've given up on it cause it's used! lol. It's all good. As long as it works.

CLEANING THROTTLE BODIES
In my humble experience, any crud on the throttle body can be cured with a spray bottle chemical. I've watched a licensed mechanic here in Japan pull the air-box conduit, and then spray the daylights out of the throttle body while reving the engine on the under-hood linkage. It cleared up the rough idle and stalling, and the vehicle was good to go until it went to automotive heaven! This is a pretty normal thing! There is a SPECIFIC chemical spray for this application!! I see this stuff in the wholesale, pro-tool and supplies shop I go to here in Japan.

FLUSHING BRAKE LINES
This should be a standard part of maintenance. In Japan, it's done every two years as common practice! DOT-3 brake fluid is hydroscopic.This means it absorbs moisture. The hydraulic system has to vent, and thus it is open to atmosphere. It eventually collects H2O in your fluid. Water will settle in your brake lines and in your hydraulic brake cylinders and callipers. I think you are really pushing your luck at 143,000 miles / 230,000 Kms!

Believe me — I've overhauled enough calliper bores, and either honed-out brake cylinders for new pistons and seals, or replaced them to know how they can rust and be ruined by contaminated brake fluid. You can work out the comparative cost of regularly flushing brake fluid as opposed to brake hydraulics overhauls. And I hate to think what might happen in the modern, pressure equalizer blocks — I never had to deal with those back in the days.

In Japan, the seasonal high humidity can be intense (not unlike many states in the USA). Here in Japan, as a matter of common policy, we flush brake fluid ever two years as part of the preparation for the mandatory licensing inspection. My wife and I ran a Honda for 23 years. We had one brake cylinder bore go bad in the 21st year. And not because of rust. The piston seal was weak. (Of course we replaced both cylinders.) The fluid had been flushed every two years, and the front callipers never needed service except for fresh pads.

If you are using DOT-4, it has a higher boiling point, but it is even MORE hydroscopic. So even more caution is advised. It must be great for track days, but I won't use it in my everyday transport.

And in case it has escaped you, water in the brake fluid detracts from stopping power.

TIMING COVER
As for the timing cover — I dunno, but if it means what I think it means, if there is no oil weeping around it, I cannot see the reason for servicing it with a new gasket or sealant. Perhaps the dealer knows that the gasket/seal does begin to weep or leak at about the milage your car has gone. Hell — leave it until it does leak and just keep an eye on it when you do your regular check on the dipstick.

(FWIW: I'm not a licensed mechanic, but years ago I serviced, repaired and overhauled stuff on motorcycles, cars and trucks for part of my living.)
