when (odo reading or year) kayo nagkaroon ng mga major problems sa rolla nyo like problem ng mga sumusunod:

1. ignition system (starter, distributor, etc)
2. cooling system (radiator, water pump, fan, etc)
3. a/c system (compressor, drier, expansion valve, condenser, aux fan, etc)
4. alternator
5. transmission
6. clutch
7. engine
8. steering ( rack and pinion, pump, hose)
9. suspension
others.

yung akin, 95 rolla gli and now at 100,000 km/8 years, ang mga napalitan na ay:

timing belt (including tensioner and oil seals) - 95,000 km/~8yrs
clutch assembly & drive shaft oil seals(indluing tranny support) - 98,000km/~8yrs
evaporator - 50,000 km/~5yrs
rear struts - 48,000km/~4.5 yrs
front and rear engine supports - ~after 5.5 years
tie rods, ball joint - after 6 years
rack and pinion leak - hindi pa napapaayos more than 1.5 years (narepair na rin ang hose mga after 6.5 years)

yung sa inyo ano na? this will be good at least we have data of some sort of when to expect failure. heheh depende pa rin sa gamit di ba? pero para may idea tayo. makikita din natin common failures ng mga rolla natin.

Item:
1) Wala pa
2) 2000... Cracked radiator top
3) 99-2001... faulty compressor, worn out aux fan.
4) 2000... fault of mechanic, shorted my battery, fried my IC. 2002... fault of mine, forgot to cover alternator while cleaning engine, rusted my diodes.
5) Tranny... 99 replaced clutch disc, pressure plate and tensioner... again nung 2002 (replacement parts lang kasi)

3. Aside from annual cleaning, busted freon hose crimps Year: 1999. Thermostat diode Year: 1998
4. Never had a problem with this part.
5. Never had a problem with this part.
6. Replaced clutch disc, clutch release bearing, & pressure plate Year: 2000.
7. Replaced timing belt, idler pulley and tensioner at 78,000kms. Everything else was left bone stock. Except for re-adjusted tuppets. Year: 2000
8. P/S hose burst, caused damage to P/S pump. Changed everything to new OEM parts and specs. Year: 2000

halos pare-pareho din pala talaga and common yung power steering leak pero mukhang mas maaga bumigay yung sa akin.

bossing roydok, not bad for your friend.

sir visitor, swerte din hindi pa leak ang steering system pero maaga yata yung alternator. hmmmm kailangan ko na kaya maghanda ng budget para sa alternator? yung cooling system naman ay parehas tayo na oks pa pero nagflush ako last week at yun nagleak doon mismo sa drain plug. lagay na lang ako ng teflon tape ngayon at medyo nabawasan leak after that then ngayon wala na akong makitang leak, settle na siguro yung mga sediments ulit kaya nabarahan na yung leak.

to zildjian,

yun corolla ko assembled sa U.S. if i'm not mistaken if not in Iowa plant maybe sa Kentucky plant, the reason why maaga nasira yung alternator is beacause the U.S. made corolla has an AC Delco starter and AC Delco Alternator, and AC Delco is a GM part :evil:, kaya yun nasira alternator and starter ko i didn't think twice to replace it with a DENSO part pero remanufactured lang mahal brand new e!

HI Guys!

just want to ask if the AE 101 corolla is thesame thing with Toyota XE or GLI, I'm just looking for 2nd hand sedan with a budget of 200K kasi.

Sorry for stupid question! I dont have any idea kasi with cars at this time maybe until I have one.

Thanks
