#30 of 59 2008 xb - location of the Oil Filter. by joe334 Nov 29, 2007 (12:06 pm)
Just now at 1k miles, started looking for the main engine oil filter. Have a 2008 xb scion. Question: where is it; lower engine block, or is the filter remote from the engine block. Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: nobelstephan (Mar 16, 2008 8:07 am)

Replying to: slamon (Oct 26, 2007 10:06 am) I've had my 2008 XB since August and I have smelled that anti-freeze smell since i got it. I've had it back to the dealer twice and they look at me like I'm crazy and tell me they don't smell it. No joking it is a strong anti-freeze smell and they will not fix it because everything appears fine and they deny they even smell it. I called Scion and they told me I'm the only one to ever report the problem. It gets stronger the longer you drive it. I don't know what to do about it. Also just had to put out $300.00 for new front brakes and re surfacing of the rotors. Scion told me that it was "normal" wear. I am very unhappy with this model. I had an 06 model which got totaled in an accident and the 08 is crap compared to that one. I'm afraid to drive it because I'm worried it is going to leave me stranded somewhere!

3 months is a really short period of time for a break job. Sounds like something was wrong from the beginning. Replies to this message: br2120 (Feb 02, 2008 7:20 pm)

Clunk in trans due to design. Loosens as mileage racks up (11,041). Clunks in downshifting lots of play. Dealer authorized new axles. Did not fix problem. Dealer tried again because they could not get rid of problem. Scion world headquarters has case file opened and scion techs and design team were sent in. They had car all day. They found that this car has no problems. The dealer disagrees. It is being talked about that there is a very big problem with the autos. They have had many complaints. Im going to get this fixed or never buy a toyota product again. Ive own them all my life. Replies to this message: lemon06 (Feb 10, 2008 7:58 pm)

Replying to: problemxb (Nov 30, 2007 6:49 am) It appears that Toyota is now too big. They are going to take the General Motors Trophy for producing the most Junk. The customer is never right. They already have your money, just go away. It can be repaired, but why would they.

Keep us posted if this problem gets fixed or not, I have put off my purchase just to see how many problems or if a consistant one appears over the next few months.
