Air selection intake broken? - Toyota Yaris Forums

David81 · 06-05-2006, 09:58 PM

Hi on my yaris the air selection intake is very lose when twisting. Does ne1 have the same problem? I turn the knob and i hear or feel no change, so i thought its broken

Mine is not lose and when I turn it, a change of the air flow pattern can be noticed. Time to make good use of the warranty?

Yeah, but this should be a very easy fix by the dealer. I would doubt any parts would have to be ordered.

BTW, the A/C is very good in this car. Much better than my tC or Corolla.

It's a $10,000 Yaris, not an $80,000 M5. Take it to your dealer and they'll sort it out.

David81 · 06-06-2006, 02:55 PM

Lol the yaris is not cheap either. It cost me about 21900 CAD.

Yeah the a/c is good.

Umm, the Yaris is the cheapest car Toyota makes.

True, but if the 'Coupe' is the cheapest car Maserati made(at 83k). Would it be cheap? nah nah, that's a bad example, I am just kidding. Overall, Yaris is not expensive but not cheap for sure, if you consider the with options. Unless you are buying the 'basic' car, then is cheap, any 'add-on' makes it not cheap. Consider you got all these completition out there making car around same or similar class for same or even cheaper price.

David, its the first year out for the sedan, you have to expect some bugs to get worked out... and i told you the car was slow....

David81 · 06-08-2006, 02:39 PM

Sigh, i went to the dealer, and they took a look at it. What happen was, when they installed my A/C they forgot to reconnect the Dial for my Air intake selection.

So now they reconnected it but didn't put my plastic interior cover back on properly. I gonna just take it apart n put it back my self. Waste time to go to the dealer to have them do it again.

Ziv · 06-08-2006, 02:46 PM

Dealer's tech is like gambling every time when I bring it back. At times when you hit the good guy who will be very detail of checking and doing everything properly. But there are time I wonder if they know what they are doing! It seems like we would know more than they do since it's still a new car and they don't bother reading all the manual and stuff like we do.

David81 · 06-09-2006, 08:40 AM

Now i have trouble taking it apart my self. Lol, my manual doesn't show me how to do it.

swng · 06-09-2006, 05:10 PM

Instead of the owner's manual, you may need a repair manual my friend. Another trip to the dealership?
Good to know that the A/C is fine and the knob has been fixed!

fouad84 · 06-29-2006, 04:06 AM

Dave you idiot I dont care what your opinion is about the dealership, they already admitted to fucking it up now its there turn to fix it, keep going back there till they get it right

Dave may not be a idiot. Some this simple should have been fix with one trip. Dave should have checked before he left the dealer.

David81 · 06-29-2006, 02:36 PM

Yes i should've checked, but i fixed it my self.

I take it you have not taken common courtesy classes....way to be mature in response.

No matter how you slice it the dealership should have fixed it in the one trip. Yah, you should prolly check b4 you leave that they got it right, but on the flip side that is one of the reasons why you go dealer direct and not to the local lift shop...because you should be getting top quality work. It is terrible in the day and age that you get subpar from so many "direct dealers" as opposed to Bob the mechanic in the lift shop.
