I just acquired a 1999 Toyota corolla, Nigerian used, I need advise on how to maintain the car, this is my first car.

jones2014:
Hi all, can you please help with this issue or give a suggestion, have got fog light on my bumper that is always, its connected to work with the headlights and not stand alone. problem the bulb usually burns out after a long trip or after a while. what is the possibilty of;
1. getting a good DRL in place of this ordinary bulb to work independently with car starting or,
2. getting a good grade bulb to connect to parking light.
bottom line is i just need the lights to last and work alone independent of the headlights. Any good rewire/tech in house that you can recommend.

Cc: Ikenna, Sienna... thanks (Car is a toyota camry 2000/01)

GAZZUZZ:


you can install LED with bulb sockets, the will last a lifetime.

I curently drive a Toyota Camry pencil light which I'm getting tired of. A car dealer offered to swap my camry pencil light with a Toyota camry D-light aka "big-for-nothing". Pls, is it a good deal? Which of 'em is better? Am I moving up the ladder or regressing? Is big-for-nothing better and more economical than pencil light?

I'm waiting for your numerous advice pls. thanks!

Good day guru's in the house. am sure this issue might have been treated somewhere on this forum before but don't know how to search for it. Pls, what is the correct tyre pressure for the front & rear tyre of my Toyota sienna 2000 model? I recently bought new tyres with sizes 215/70R15 but the info at the door says 30 & 32psi. Even when inflated to 40psi it still looks under inflated. pls what is the correct psi? the van is for private use. Mod, kindly pls move to the appropriate section. Thanks.

Did you use the road side tire pumper, popularly known as Vulcanizer?

If yes, then walk into any Total Filling station or any standard filling station or Tire store that does wheel alignment and balancing and ask them to pump your tire for you.

They use a very standard pumping machine and Barometer.

The road side pumper don't measure pressure accurately.



IF the above is done and you still feel your tire is under inflated, while pumped with the accurate pressure. Leave the tire that way.

It's normal. Or check your dashboard. A tire Pressure stability sensor should blink if it's not well pumped ( Note: i talk from a honda experience. I mean sensor. I don't know if the Toyota model you talk about has such sensor. However i think it should ).

kingreign:


what time of the day do you pump the tyres?
Have you driven the car abit before you pumped it that day?
Did the vulcanizer use a meter type or digital tyre pressure or t6e normal stick type?
If yes, its a wrong pump procedure, if no, go over the process again
