#406 of 599 Re: 2006 [aeroluvr] by KarenS HOST Jun 29, 2005 (8:02 am)
Replying to: aeroluvr (Jun 29, 2005 4:33 am) Sorry, but I host all of the clubs so it is difficult to remain current with each make/model.   Is the 2006 model markedly different than the 2005?
#407 of 599 2006 and tires by stickguy Jun 29, 2005 (8:08 am)
Nope, the '06 is the same car, with just a couple of features changing.   Also, I believe the TPMS on the tC is a "dumb" one. That is, it doesn't actually know what the pressure is, it just looks for a tire that is different than the rest. So, in theory, if they are all 25 or 40, it won't trigger.   Actually, I would have to look in the manual, it might only compare to the other side of the same end of the car. The factory specs are different f/r (something like 32/29), so either the difference is within tollerance, or the TPMS doesn't compare front to back.

As I replied in the other thread where I requested the 2006..thanks I understand. I've seen 2006 threads on other models which is why I asked. It would be easier though as right now there are three major threads that "could" apply to 2006 models so one would have to wade though all three huge threads to find any posts applicable to the new 2006 release Scion tC, Scion Owners: Accessories & Modifications and Scion tC Owners: Problems & Solutions. I just thought it would be a lot easier for new visitors as well as existing folks to track owner's experiences with the new year's model - even though there isn't that much that is changed, I'm hoping to find out if the bugs noted with 2005 are now fixed AND how the new options and colors, etc. go over with buyers. I'm sure there will be 2006 "problems and solutions" and comments about "accessories and mods" as well as general commentary..was just hoping to see 2006 all in one place but I understand.
#409 of 599 Tires by scoopny Jun 30, 2005 (1:33 pm)
I had the problem with the tire sensor after I got a flat and got a new tire. When I came in for my oil change I told the dealer about it and he reset it and I haven't had a problem since. I'm not sure what he did.

Replying to: masstorage (Jun 29, 2005 6:37 am) actually much to my surprise I found out that some mechanics at the dealerships have no clue how to reset the tire pressure indicator... i forgot what it is exactly but you have to hold the reset button it until the light blinks... i keep forgetting if it has to blink a certain number of times... anyhow, i know this because they did it wrong the last time I went in for my free oil change... they put in air but did not reset the thing, then i came back and the guy reset wrong... third time was done right.
#411 of 599 Creak crack pop by design Jul 01, 2005 (9:30 am)
... and to all you who complain about the creaks cracks and pops... try turning up your stereo to a moderate level and guess what! NO NOISE! so there's your fix. And to anyone who has or is planning to get rims on their TC... just know that all of your rims will be scratched before a year goes by... it took me 4 months to scratch each one of my Pirelli-shoes.   http://www.cardomain.com/ride/782419
#412 of 599 Road noise by jimmied Jul 04, 2005 (6:38 am)
I purchase the 05 Tc for my son in June I've drove the car the other day and it had more road noise than army tank. Is this normal, if not does anyone know how to reduce this noise Replies to this message: mark19 (Jul 04, 2005 6:47 pm)

Replying to: zhangtao9703 (May 06, 2005 8:20 am) My DOC fee was $25.00 this is your dealer fee not scion
#414 of 599 Re: Road noise [jimmied] by mark19 Jul 04, 2005 (6:47 pm)
Replying to: jimmied (Jul 04, 2005 6:38 am) you might want to check the tire pressures.. dealers have been known to not adjust them after they come off the truck.. tire pressures when cold are 32 front, 29 rear.. if that still doesn't fix it.. then it might be the OEM tires, but i haven't heard anything bad about the noise issue.. I took the original tires off and put some Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S (stock size 215/45-17) and so i don't know what the originals are like.. but thought i'd let ya know to check the pressures..
#415 of 599 Questions? by aeroluvr Jul 05, 2005 (3:34 am)
Someone above mentioned the 1/3 brake light? Is that because of wiring pre-done in case you choose the "upgraded" tail lights? If only 1/3 lights up with the regular...then I guess I'll get the upgrade so it won't look so stupid..hmm..maybe that is what they want you to do? Maybe I misunderstood?   I asked this elsewhere but will here too in case it's a problem....does anyone know what the paint cutout looking circles are on the front bumper just above where the fog lights go in below on the grille? They are VERY CLEAR on pics on scion.com page and you can see one on Kelly's pics posted in another thread here in picture 6. I thought those were pre-cutouts for fog lights but then saw on the pics above and on the site the fog lights are put down below on the grille sides? Seems weird to me...anyone know what those are? Are they "stamped" with something?   And finally...I am waiting to get a good dealer referral before I go do my testdrive. I am a bit concerned with all the noise comments from the two roofs, etc. I have a Nissan 240SX with a pop up moon roof and hatchback and it is the quietest car I have ever owned (and smoothest handling as well). That's why I still have it 13 years later..because I can't find anything comparable in price/look/feel/options..am hoping the Scion is "close"....   Thanks to everyone for posting here. I too am picky and prefer to know what to expect BEFORE getting in for the test drive....
