Interior lights not working

2004 Toyota Avensis 112000 miles
None of the interior lights turn on and, when stopping the engine and removing the key, the revolutions counter and both the temperature and fuel needles remain in the place they were at the last moment. When giving contact, the clock indicates 12:00 and the onboard computer resets. I've checked the fuses and they are alright. I would like to know what might have happened.

Same here. Also the warning for lights on with the ignition off has stopped working at the same time as the other problems^

I sorted mine. There is a fuse box in the footwell and i found one blown and it solved all these issues.

The blown fuse is in the second fuse box(fuse block) under the first fuse box at the left of the clutch pedal. It is 7,5amp

Fan failure and coolant consumption

2000 Toyota Avensis 250000 miles
I have a problem with a Toyota Avensis diesel. In a traffic jam, the temperature needle suddenly raised to the top. When stopping the car, I noticed the fan did not start working, even though it did with the air conditioning. The coolant deposit was empty and so I added around two liters, which were almost gone two days later. I then drove some blocks at a low speed but was not able to determine whether the car overheated or not because the needle remained at its normal position, in the middle. There is nothing wrong in the oil plug and there is no white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I do not even see a coolant stain in the floor. If it were the temperature sensor, the needle would move? Is the sensor related to the coolant consumption? Is it a damaged cylinder head gasket? Thank you.

The same problem happened to my Toyota 2007 and I was told it was a severe damage the one I had. The pump was failing, the engine lost compression and some other problems that were fixed and the failure disappeared. Luckily, Toyota assumed the costs and a new engine was installed. Good luck.

There's a rattling sound when my car's engine is idling. I replaced my belt tensioner, serentine belt and idling bearing. I checked the alternator pulley. But I have still the same problem - ratting sound, something as if I am hitting a hammer onto a metal. A mechanic told me to change my alternator belt with a smalleer size belt. Is it a right idea to do it so.

Oui en effet c'est une bonne idée. Il m'était arrivé la même chose.

J'ai un problème avec appareil turbo

2014 Toyota Avensis 205000 miles
L'appareil qui commande turbo a été réparé malgré cela il affiche un échec sur tableau bord et moteur devient lourd. Un diagnostic a fait apparaître panne p46. L'échec ne dure pas et ne s'affiche pas et le moteur commence à développer sa puissance une fois échec disparu du tableau bord. Dois-je changer turbo complet ou changer seulement appareil turbo sachant qu'il n'y a que des pièces occasion ??

I have D4D T28; it was lost turbo air pressure and lost torque. I changed MAF sensor and solved problem more cheaper.

Cylinder head gasket failure

My vehicle has got 93000 miles and the cylinder head gasket has failed, even though all the necessary revisions were made in the agency.

Apparently, it is a manufacturing problem. I've finally decided to repair the cylinder head gasket in a good workshop and not in the agency.

Engine warning light

2004 Toyota Avensis 86000 miles
I was driving my car when suddenly the engine warning light appeared on the dashboard. There was no noticeable change in the engine's sound or performance, but the car started taking longer to start when using the key. When I used a diagnostic scanner to check the issue, it showed the following two codes: P0133 and P0013. What is the problem?

Many failures

2007 Toyota Avensis 205000 miles
I would like to share my experience with my Avensis so that you can think it twice before buying this vehicle. After two years of buying it, the 6th gear started failing and the engine consumed lots of water, around a liter per day. This happened to be an ordinary engine failure, but Toyota did not assume the costs of its repair. I certainly do not recommend this car.

Engine fissure

2007 Toyota Avensis 96000 miles
Good afternoon everyone. I own a Toyota Avensis 2.2 D4D 2007 which has only got 60000 miles and I have started noticing that the coolant disappears from the deposit, even though I cannot find any leakage nor escape anywhere. The temperature indicator has always remained in the same position so, if the car overheated, it would have never indicated the failure. I went to a Toyota agency and I was told the engine needed to be replaced completely, as there was a fissure which had been caused by some refrigerant problems. My question is, shouldn't the car inform us about the huge failure that is taking place? In my case at least, there was no electronic warning and the temperature needle has always indicated a normal situation, which was certainly not the case.
