#126 of 149 Re: 2005 XB automatic - shift lag [lululithgow] by aatherton Jun 05, 2007 (7:01 pm)
Replying to: lululithgow (Jun 04, 2007 7:59 pm) "... when I first drive, the engine revs like crazy before it shifts into 2nd or 3rd gear - I can't figure out which... It only does it in while the coolant light is blue - basically the first time it runs thru the gears and only if it has sat for 5 or 6 hours..."   Until the blue light goes out (137 degrees), the computer will not let the transmission upshift into 4th gear. This is by design. You should not be revving the engine like crazy in 3rd gear trying to make the transmission upshift before the blue light is out.

Replying to: aatherton (Jun 05, 2007 7:01 pm) Hey thanks, I figured it was something to do with the coolant light and I couldn't check the manual because the dealer hadn't gotten me one yet. I've always driven sticks so it's hard to get used to not being able to shift when it seems it should. I actually have a very light foot on the pedal - I was just bothered at first by what sounded like the engine struggling. Again - thanks for the info.

Replying to: scie (Apr 20, 2007 8:29 am) Just wondering if your problem is totally fixed with the new vapor barrier. I am having the leaking issue with my 2006 XA as well and I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Mine stays in a garage, so it doesn't happen overnight. It's just being out in the rain while driving that it gets wet.

Replying to: djkleb (Jun 10, 2007 5:29 pm) My xA hasn't been fixed by the new vapor barrier. It still leaks intermittently. I don't think the problem can be solved. Toyota finally acknowledged that my car is a lemon & will pay me back everything. I ordered a Matrix 4 months ago to replace the Scion & it still hasn't arrived.   My suggestions:   1.) Give up on getting the leak fixed!   2.) Contact the regional office of Toyota & talk to their customer service person. Tell them the car cannot be fixed. Ask Toyota to buy it back. FInd out how much they will give you.   3.) If Toyota's answer is unsatisfactory, go to a good lemon law lawyer & pursue the case.   If you're in the SF Bay Area, I can give you some names & numbers. Good luck! Replies to this message: djkleb (Jun 11, 2007 5:22 pm) lenzai (Jun 12, 2007 1:56 pm)

Replying to: tinkuy (Jun 11, 2007 5:10 am) Thank you for your response. I am on the east coast, but I don't think I'm going to do anything about it. I like the car and I will just have to deal with the leak. Best of luck with your Matrix! Replies to this message: lenzai (Jun 12, 2007 1:56 pm)

Replying to: djkleb (Jun 11, 2007 5:22 pm) Hey there, I don't get the "rain leak" that you guys mentioned, but I do get some leaking going on when I wash my 05 xA with a pressurized hose shooting water at the corner of the passenger side window (right next to the side mirror). I have not done anything about it because it doesn't bother me at all. I have driven thru heavy rains and it does not leak thru. It only happens when I am shooting pressurized water at it. Maybe this is a separate problem.

#133 of 149 Re: Oil [gtw] by yenes56 Jul 13, 2007 (8:32 am)
Replying to: gtw (May 01, 2005 5:40 pm) Question. I am planning to buy Scion XB 2008 but I am worrying about the oil change. I have an Accord and I always change oil myself by driving up a ramp. Scion XB, on the other hand seems to have a low bottom. If I drive the XB on the ramp, could the front or back touch the ground before the front tire reaching the top of the ramp? How did you lift the card. My ramps are the usual one bought from Walmart.
#134 of 149 Fuel Injector Cleaning (Scion xB 2004) by samdale67 Jul 16, 2007 (6:04 am)
I have a Scion xB 2004, and I'm wondering what's the best way to clean its fuel injectors.   1. Do fuel injector cleaning additives work? If so, which is the best?   2. Or is it best to have them cleaned by other means? I'm pretty handy and would like to do it myself if possible.   Advice?   Thanks--   Samuel Duncan Austin, Texas
