Hi all,
Just got myself a new old celica. Really nice drive with plenty of power. However as with all used cars there are a number of little things that need sorting. The one i am struggling with at the mo is the oil level light on the dash, it lights up as soon as the car moves from starting. It rarely goes out. It is not the oil pressure, but the oil level. I think this must be a faulty sender or duff connector as the oil level is correctly topped up with 10/30W oil. Anyone had anything similar? Also does anyone know the location of the oil level sender so i can check the plug contacts for fouling as i gather it will be under the car somwere. The car in question is a 94 generation6 celica GT, UK spec totaly standard, no mods. Engine is a 3S-GE 170ish bhp  , dash type 180MPH 9K RPM. Sunroof, Hatchback. Also how do you stop the ABS light coming on? Does it indicate worn pads? as i think they are low.  Cheers, Leigh.P |

Hi mate, yes, if the car has had work done on it, like you say
especally the clutch, then 9/10 the abs sensor will get damaged and as for a good breakers for `new` and used parts TCB (toyota cornwall breakers) will be the only number you will need! theyer the cheapest for new parts and they are all `genuine toyota` great servis and you can get all the hard to find bits there usually, and as for your `air-box` without a pic, im pretty sure that its not suposed to have any holes at all, its a possibility that some one has made the hole or holes, to get the induction `noise` that you get with a `cone type` filter, ive seen it done before but usually ther are a few hole drilled into the airbox possible solution is replace the box, which should be quite cheap at TCB or remove the box and replace with a `cone or mushroom filter` a word of warning thou, if you do get a `cone filter` they a quite loud, so if you drive the car regularly you may want to bare that in-mind, so give TCB a ring for the part your looking for thyer servis is A1 tel: 01579 383879 also will try and get a link for theyer site for you This post has been edited by ray405: Jul 2, 2006 - 10:34 AM |
