Replying to: gasman1 (Sep 03, 2007 12:53 pm) I appreciate all your help, I don't really know the first thing about car repairs. This may be a silly question but do car mechanics make such easy repairs or will they tell me I need the entire $1000 part? Would Toyota take the time to solder the wires? Boy...I think I'm going to take an auto repair class!
#4128 of 4691 Changing coolant. by jackmick656 Sep 15, 2007 (8:03 pm)
Just turned 30,000 on my 03 V6 2WD Highlander. I have the red coolant in the radiator. Should I change the fluid now and if yes please advise the best way to do the job. Thank you very much.

Replying to: johny11 (Jan 29, 2007 10:16 am) I have had the same problem except it is on a 2007 Highlander with 6 speaker JBL system. From what I can tell it is tied to cell phones switching towers. I have sat in the Toyota service parking lot and can get it to make the distortion but only once. I have called from another location and when the cell phone switches towers it will happen again. I have had it in six times and very frustrated they can not duplicate and therefore will not address the problem. They did change out the right rear speaker but that did not fix the problem. Keep me posted if you hear of anyone else. They claim I am the first to report the issue but I see that is not correct.
#4130 of 4691 dealer performed alignment, but steering still slightly off? by 05highlander05 Sep 22, 2007 (4:26 am)
2005 highlander v6   here's a link to the alignment sheet specs: http://picasaweb.google.com/draganplavsic/Alignment">link title   When I brought it in I needed an alignment because the steering wheel was off slightly to the right when driving down a straight road. Now when the dealer did an alignment the steering wheel is off slightly to the left. I changed all 4 tires a few months so I don't know if the tires have any impact on this or not but they are brand new. While at the dealer today I also had them rotate all 4 tires. What should my next step be? I would hate to keep going back to the dealer. Replies to this message: wwest (Sep 22, 2007 9:58 am) 05highlander05 (Sep 22, 2007 8:54 pm) wwest (Sep 22, 2007 9:08 pm)

Replying to: 05highlander05 (Sep 22, 2007 4:26 am) Have you told anyone that the stearing wheel being a bit off-center bothers you? The stearing wheel "position" in reality has absolutely NOTHING to do with proper alignment of the vehicle wheels, front and/or rear.   My stearing wheel is ALWAYS off-center so that I can easily drive straight ahead, wheel-spoke in a "proper position, while resting my elbow on the door armrest.   If you really wish the stearing wheel to be "exactly" centered going straight down the road that is very easy for the mechanic to accomplish by lengthening one tie rod while shortening the other.

#4132 of 4691 Shop manuals by mikefm58 Sep 22, 2007 (1:41 pm)
Can anyone comment on the best manuals for just basic maintenance? How are Haynes and Chiltons for Toyotas? I didn't care for them for Hondas and picked up an official shop manual on helminc.com but they don't have Toyotas.

Replying to: jim70 (Sep 22, 2007 1:59 pm) Wwest has been on the stearing kick for a while now, but we indulge him.   Mikefm58, you may be interested in some of the online sources in the Online Repair Manuals guide. The Technical Information System is one listed there for Toyota, but it's not cheap.
