Hi everyone, I bought an Avensis in 2005 and have not had any failure since then. However, I've been recently noticing that, when giving contact or even when driving, a strange noise can be heard coming from behind the instrument panel, similar to an old clock. Has this ever happened to anyone? Do you know where it comes from? Thanks.

The interior plastics quality and its attachments are simply disastrous. There are important vibrations both in the dashboard and in the instrument panel. Something curious, that no one has been able to explain to me yet is that, when driving and turning to the right at 2nd gear, a hit is felt in the steering column. Lately, when accelerating at 5th or 6th gears, if revolutions are relatively low but in its appropriate range, a bubble noise appears, which goes away when revolutions raise. This started to be heard after 25000 miles driven.

Hi, I have recently noticed that theres no sound. Sometimes it can come on but then it just glitches out. Replaced amplifier fuse and no luck. Could it be the amplifier chip inside the radio?

Too much noise from the engine

Left rear mirror not folding and makes noise throughout the drive

Belt tensioner vibrates too much and makes growling sound

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?

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.
