Quick Question about the 2008 Yaris:
Hey, I'm helping a friend with a small repair on her 2008 Yaris. A rattling noise developed after a pretty nasty front driver's side curb check, the source of which I believe I tracked down. When I was poking around the engine block, however, she put the car in reverse and the entire engine block shifted back 1-2 inches.
This is my first experience with a Yaris, and seeing the entire block move was surprising. A quick search yielded nothing... is this normal operating behavior, or might there be some engine mount trouble as well? Thanks! EDIT: Oh, also, does anybody happen to have a higher-res image of the stock air intake and filter box for a 2008 Yaris? Something like this general area, specifically where the air intake is attached via bracket around the first bend in the tube. Thanks again! |

That is pretty normal. The Yaris has very compliant engine mounts to reduce vibration.

What was the question? I see Scott's reply, but it's the first post in the thread!

Oh, that is weird.
Basically, I'm doing a minor repair on a friend's 2008 Yaris. I noticed that the engine block shifted back a couple of inches when the car was put in reverse, and wanted to make sure that was normal and there wasn't damage to the engine mounts. Also, if anybody has a high-def picture of the stock air intake on the '08, that would be much appreciated! |
