Wtf is up with warranty?!?!?!?!
 

it doesnt cover shyt apparently...i was driving today and i accelerated a lil and my motor starting ticking....i didnt think much of it till i got under the hood and it was a loud tick. i think its a valve problem so i took it to toyota and they dnt cover it under warranty because apparently valves are part of wear and tear because of high reving soo i think its bs and idk wat to do now can any plz help me out??? its my only way to get to work and need it fixed asap

Excuse the language but fuck that dealer, go over their head and call the district guy that works for Toyota itself. They have to prove that your high revving caused your problem.

they told me if the valve is burnt then its caused by high revving i was like wtf bitch?!? that dealer is soo shady man u just dont kno

Anyone else have any input?? I need as many opinions as possible....would running. Thicker and synthetic oil help??

Mine sounds like a sewing machine also. I have tried 5w30 to no avail.

high revving? isn't redline like 6500 or something? that's not high at all. But if you went there with a intake on it, they will blame that and void your warranty. here's what happens at the dealer. car has an issue. tech guy opens tech manual and plays connect the dots. hey, here is something that isn't in the manual. here's your problem and it isn't an OEM part there. void warranty and send you on your way. that really is how it works. I've been thru this so many times with car stereo work. and that's why i kept all my OE stuff. just in case i need to return it to stock.

But my car is "feeling" weird too. got a bit of a hum in 3rd gear. goes away when clutch is disengaged. a slight crunch when truning slowly over deviations on the road. 2nd to 3rd gear change has a squeak again. But the number one thing I can't figure out is why the car will absolutley not drive straight for any distance. I feel I am always correcting it's direction. My xB1 doesn't do that. And it's the one with air ride and -1.5 degrees of camber up front. My xD has a strange aura about it

well my engine bay is stock i have no engine mods wat so ever

Umm... So I dont like to make this info too public because I am an Admin and its a little bit of a conflict of interest... But I am the Scion Sales Manager at a dealership... and I know, for a fact, that valves are not normal wear and tear items... go to a different dealership, preferably one that has had a Scion related event in the past year or so.

ok will do thanx

so i took my car to toyota yesterday and they gave me no problem they told me they will honor the warranty and everything. so i was happy to hear that. they call me later that day told me my car is not going to be ready because they need to replace some lifters and the vvti something i forgot wat he told me soo hopefully i can get it back today

Glad to hear you got a dealer to take care of it

I thought I replied to this already... Must not have hit "post".

Anyway, it abounds like they're going to make good on the warranty. Glad to hear it. I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it, but you might want to switch to a good synthetic oil like RedLine or Amsoil. Make sure you get the right grade. I send an oil sample in for testing at each oil change, and each time they recommend that I go longer. I'm going to go 12,000 miles on this oil change. So, it costs more for the oil, but you can go a lot longer between changes. Better oil will be better for your cams, VVTi, and the rest of the engine.

sooo i got a call today saying that the mechanic replaced all the parts but the car doesnt want to turn on! WTF!!!! seriously??



then they were saying something read the letter "h" which apparently means i was going 130 mph and some shyt about tire pressure and charging me a hundred buks. i wasnt sure wat he was really sayin cuz it was on a voicemail and he was mumbling..



honestly i fuckin pissd!!!! they are tryin to pin shyt on me which aint gonna happen cuz idk wat in the xD records how fast u were going...

i took it to them running so i bet get it back running

I know almost all European cars have a data recorder the xD might as well.

The thing is if u kno ur car u kno the xd can't go to 130

And. I clarifies it. He was trying to sell me tires and was talking bout the tire rating

It doesnt... there is actually no way for them to know how fast the vehicle has traveled... ever... (unless you have top speed saved on your GPS) BTW, the xD governs at 127MPH... the car wont let you exceed 130MPH, but you probably dont want to tell them how you know that (or even mention it for that matter)
And incase they try this too, there is no way to tell what RPM's it was at when the knocking started, nor speed, nor gear, nor... should I continue or do we get the idea? Toyota ECU's don't data log...

TheLittleDeviant to the rescue!!!! Thanx man!

No data logging huh, that is good to know.

so i went to toyota today and the are putting in a new motor so sometime at the end of next week i should get my car back

you gut a 3mph discrepancy. governs at 127 but won't top 130....har har.....jp
