hey Timago Tamago it's all the same thing!

Any ways, I went ahead and bought it from the stealer for $88 shipped (I told them my friend broke his on his '05 xB when replacing the belt

)... I really appreciate all of your help, especially Tamago's offer and jonismyname for helping me find the part number... also for future reference the exact part number is 15330-21011 .(in case any one else ever needed it) If any of you need any help with any thing, let me know! I'm best with computers and I do a little programing/html on the side... If you in Indiana I could maybe help you with you cars (but obviously I'm an amateur

) So thanks a lot!

I'm sorry I didn't know

... got any thing else you wanna sell?

ddongbap · 02-02-2009, 08:22 PM

Its his decision. You shouldn't be giving him flack for a semi-nobody, to him, over a known dealer.

In my own defense, how would I know that? No offense, but I don't know you from Adam... I'm not saying any thing about you or your character, but I'm pretty new here and not quite comfortable yet with the people here... I can't say I made a good decision, but the way I saw it, this is my daily driver and only means of transport. I spent about $28 more for a brand new part, that I knew for a fact would work, in about the same amount of time. One might say modding your DD isn't a good idea, but the call of the mod was too strong.

I do feel bad I didn't buy it from you, but it was an important part of my car which I couldn't afford to risk... Now if you have any thing else to sell I would definitely think about it... I do appreciate all your help, and hope you're not really pissed off at me...

CtrlAltDefeat · 02-05-2009, 03:19 AM

welp, I got it, and got it installed tonight... was already lubed so it popped right in... The drama, however happened when I was putting the bolts back in. The POS ratchet didn't hold onto the socket and it freaking dropped into the engine! I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for this shit... First it fell behind the alternator, then I knocked it down into the hollow of one of the pulleys. I wasn't able to grab it so i knocked it hard trying to knock it onto the floor and it bounced 2 or 3 times and landed somewhere else in the engine! I was like WTF?? How many possible places could it have hit in the short distance between the pulley and the floor??? I couldn't start it for fear it would launch the socket from a pulley and break something so I had to freaking jack the thing up to look under it. I finally found it stuck between the oil pan and the body work... Jesus! Seriously I've never been this clumsy before... Virgin mechanic nervousness??

Any ways When I started it up the engine chugged for a moment but then seemed to straighten up... I turned it off and started it again without any more chugging ... The CEL stayed on but I assume I'll be able to get it cleared at Autozone... I think I'm done with the engine mods for a while... Hope my spring install goes better...

Same thing happened to my car last night while installing NST pullies. The part is $100 at the dealer. Be very careful when working around
the alternator.

CtrlAltDefeat · 04-19-2009, 01:19 AM

yea, I was really freaked out when it happened to me... Thank God for YarisWorld, every one was a big help!

HI,
I have a bit of oil leak coming out this Camshaft Timing Oil (I still don't have check engine light) but I'm worry by the oil leak (not much, can be a symptom that something is not right). Will be necessary change this parts? or replace another parts or tighten any loose screws?

any feedback..

Well the valve only has 1 bolt holding it in, so I suppose it could have gotten loose. You could take it out and see if the rubber O ring around the base of the valve is broken or degraded. It's not too hard to get to, with the VVTI engine cover is removed, and the cable unplugged from it. If you really want I can get better pictures of mine...
