Replying to: wwest (Aug 29, 2009 9:12 am) Good Morning (wwest)       I was simply suggesting that some drivers, (who have an older vehicle without DBW), might see / experience an "operating difference" with this new technology. My Camry handles differently in the snow because of DBW than did my 2003 Honda Accord!       Best regards!                                        Dwayne Replies to this message: wwest (Aug 31, 2009 8:13 am)

Replying to: djm2 (Aug 31, 2009 2:46 am) Oh..., Yes, TC, Traction Control, in my '01 F/awd RX300 with "hard" coupled throttle valve must use fuel starvation via EFI/SFI in order to enforce engine dethrottling when wheelslip/spin develops, probably the same for VSC.   I would imagine the fuel cut using EFI/SFI had to be pretty much total in order to avoid detonation whereas with DBW dethrottling can be moderated, modulated.   So yes, likely a very noticeable VSC/TC difference when moving from one to the other.
#4871 of 4944 Front Brake Pad Change: WHats Involved? by kneisl1 Sep 02, 2009 (5:43 pm)
My wifes 2005 Camry needs front brake pads soon. Ive changed them myself on other cars. Would this cars pads be similiar to do? Do the calipers come off the same way? (two 14mm bolts?) Can you still push the pistons back into the calipers with a large C clamp? Thanks for any replys! Replies to this message: notmybmw (Sep 02, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Sep 02, 2009 5:43 pm) Hey, kneis-whatever.......definitely GO for it on your own; don't hire a mechanic. If you've done it before on ANY car....it's a piece of cake on the Camry. And don't buy the pads from your Toyota dealer......aftermarket is fine. Good luck (not that you'll need it!) Mike

Replying to: wwest (Feb 09, 2008 9:31 am) Bought my 2007 Camry LE used last September. A month ago I noticed a terrible, growing smell and took it to my local Toyota Dealer. There was no dampness on the floor or carpets, but when they took the seats out and removed the carpets, the "jute" or carpet pad was soaked with clear water and under that black mold. At first they said this was a design flaw in that the foam blown on under the jute actually retained water causing the mold. The only difference is that they usually found this on the floor behind the passenger side and mine was behind the driver's seat. They couldn't find what had leaked, but suspected it was a plugged A/C vent in the back seat. 3 days later they called to say their mold "expert" found what looked like spilled cheese dip that was moldy so "someone" must have spilled that to create this problem. However, my husband had been there when they removed everything and saw and felt the clear water soaking the jute, which now they say must have been water spilled as well....but HOW could either cheese dip or water be spilled UNDER the carpet and jute without evidence of the spill on top? NOTE: Their "expert" was actually an expert in CLEANING up mold, not identifying the type of mold or source. We don't have any little kids. We don't eat cheese dip. No one eats in the back seat or even sits there. We haven't spilled anything. But of course, this means that the $1500 and 3 weeks they've been working on this mystery won't be covered on our warranty!!! Has ANYONE else had this problem?   Lindi Replies to this message: wwest (Sep 10, 2009 9:27 am) lindi1 (Sep 14, 2009 9:08 am) kiawah (Sep 14, 2009 9:13 am)

Replying to: lindi1 (Sep 10, 2009 9:03 am) All sunroofs will leak, even closed. Inside the roof area there are several drain tubes/hoses to drain away the rain that gets through the sunroof seals, it is not altogether unusual for these to get plugged up with debris that blows in when the sunroof is open.   One of our cars had a propensity for accumulating water in the exact areas you describe, behind each of the front seats. I decided to replace the sunroof seals to try and solve the problem. In the process just last week I vacuumed that area, sunroof retraction area, of a lot of debris and used weed-eater line to clear the four drains, one of the drains was quite thoroughly blocked.

#4875 of 4944 only 17-18 mpg on I4 city driving? by dlrev Sep 10, 2009 (9:32 pm)
I bought a used I4 automatic the beginning of July and so far am only getting about 17-18 mpg with 100% city driving. This seems pretty low to me.   Air filter is recently replaced, tire pressure is checked and normal. I am at a loss to explain the low mpg since I drive fairly carefully (avoid sudden accelerations, etc.) Anyone have any idea why it might be low like this? I searched the forum and saw a couple users mentioned "TSB for engine and transmission performance", is that something I should look into?   Actually, one other thing I noticed, it seems like there is like a very slight engine braking when going 30+ mph in drive. It's barely perceptible -- I asked someone riding in the car with me if they noticed it and they did not (maybe I am just imagining things ) Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Sep 11, 2009 8:46 am) dlrev (Sep 11, 2009 10:28 am) 210delray (Sep 11, 2009 10:57 am)

Replying to: dlrev (Sep 10, 2009 9:32 pm) Make sure TSB# 0068-08 has been done. It will not change MPG, though.   I can get only 17 mpg in the city, or even less (0 mpg at traffic lights), but I can also get 31 highway. My mpg is fine, but my point is you need to try a long trip on a level highway at a constant speed (no more than 70) and I bet your MPG is fine.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Sep 11, 2009 8:46 am) Are you driving the 4 or 6 cylinder Camry? I thought the 4 cyl is supposed to get better city mpg, around 21 at least according to fueleconomy.gov Replies to this message: 210delray (Sep 11, 2009 10:57 am)

Replying to: dlrev (Sep 11, 2009 10:28 am) My '05 Camry 4 is driven mostly in town (and a small town at that). It has the same engine/transmission as the '07 and gets as low as 18 or 19 mpg. I'm lucky if I see 22 mpg or so in those conditions. But on long trips, it regularly gets in the low 30s (keeping speeds no more than 65-70 mph).
