#458 of 596 Re: '07 Camry LE - regular maintenance [graffixx] by mcdawgg Sep 08, 2008 (7:33 pm)
Replying to: graffixx (Sep 08, 2008 10:28 am) If you know the dealer did maintenance at 30k, what did they do? Basically, the manual says change the engine air filter and cabin air filter, and oil change.   The service maintenance light is just an oil change reminder. It begins to warn you after 4,500 miles from the last time it was reset. I think it remains on steady or flashes or something at 5,000 miles.   I would do two things - find out exactly what was done at 30k, and get an owner's manual. You can find them for sale on line, or just look up the information on the internet (Edmunds), even the Toyota website I think has the details of the maintenance requirements.
#459 of 596 What should I do? by mumble88 Sep 11, 2008 (1:46 pm)
I got a 07 Solara and trying to take care of it. So I got a cover from carscover.com. It looked like a great cover. But now that I purchased it I'm worried that it could damage the paint job of my car. What do you guys think? Will it damage my car? Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Sep 11, 2008 4:19 pm)

Replying to: mumble88 (Sep 11, 2008 1:46 pm) I don't know about current car covers and paint jobs, but in the past, they did more harm than good.
#461 of 596 Air Filter by geri2 Sep 14, 2008 (12:55 pm)
Does a 2007 Camry LE use an air filter, and if so, where does it go? Thank you, Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 14, 2008 1:46 pm) kiawah (Sep 14, 2008 2:13 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 14, 2008 4:00 pm)

Replying to: geri2 (Sep 14, 2008 12:55 pm) It's behind the glove box.   Open the glove box, unscrew the glove box damper (limiter), then squeeze both sides of the glove box on the top sides and the glove box will drop down revealing the filter.

Replying to: geri2 (Sep 14, 2008 12:55 pm) You weren't exactly clear which air filter you were referencing.   Shifty's response, is for the cabin air filter.   There is also an air filter for the engine, up in the engine compartment. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 14, 2008 4:00 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 14, 2008 2:13 pm) Ah didn't think of that but since she asked if it uses one, I'm going to give her full credit for knowing that some cars do NOT have cabin filters.
#465 of 596 won't start... by kadieo Sep 26, 2008 (12:52 pm)
92 Camry went dead. Full tank. Turn key and door ding, radio still happen. Sounds like it's trying to "crank", just won't. HELP!!!
#466 of 596 What is it? by metalibrarian Sep 26, 2008 (11:56 pm)
2004 Camry LE I4. Under the battery shelf, driver's side, there is a white plastic translucent tank or box of some sort. Looks like a large coolant recovery tank but that thing is over on the passenger side. Visible in a photo in my Haynes but not identified. Anybody know what it is? Thanks!
#467 of 596 Solara maintenance by mm7003 Oct 18, 2008 (1:57 pm)
Well, I'm bad...I've maintained the obvious maintenance and replacements on my 2000 SLE V6 Solara (brakes, tires and rotation, struts/seals, etc., oil, air filter) but did not do the traditional 60K, 75K and it now has 80K on it. I checked into local prices in Eureka, CA and am astonished at the prices for a engine coolant and spark plug replacement -- $469. I've checked with 4 different shops and they are all basically the same.   More disturbing is the 90K coming up with the timing belt (and why not replace the fuel filter, water pump, seals, etc. they said) coming to a whopping $1200.   I mentioned the cab once in a while smells of the rotten egg smell when I have the recirculation air switched on. This led to a quote for the 3 catalytic converters costing $2,765.   All in all, my car which has no problems other than the smell thing is amounting to $4,434 in the next year when the car is probably only worth $8,000 to a private party.   Does this sound right to any of you? The repair costs seem excessive. What do you recommend?   Thank you.
