Vitz 2002 issues-locks, handles, power window, front bearings and idle - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi all,

So Just brought myself a 2002 Vitz and it has a few issues... that I ahven't found solutions to on google etc.

First issues - drivers window doesn't move. There is an audiable click as you press the button I think a relay is switching but not the motor.. Also the 'auto' light flashes so there is power to the switch at least and its receiving the press. Motor blown or a separate fuse to the motor? I have tried 'assisting' the window down, no movement...

The central locking is sketchy, it seems it requires mutliple (at least 3) presses to unlock - it moves part the way up with each press - I assume this isn't a staged security feature but a part needs greasing somewhere as its struggling to raise the lock?

A few springs look like they have gone in the outside handles, they sort of hang loose, although they function!

The idle seems to start a little high, not sure if this is some sort of choke? It goes down after 30 secs or so... Perhaps clean throttle body?

There is a slight whistle when the engine is under load i.e lowish revs foot down... perhaps a small exhaust hole or vacuum issue? Any common faults here?

Thanks in advance for any help!
