Does a 2007 Camry LE use an air filter, and if so, where does it go? Thank you,

| 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! | |

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. |

at this point, doesn't make sense to do the coolant until you have the timing belt and waterpump replaced. The latest generation v6's, you have to pull the engine to do the water pump...... |

I am a novice when it comes to cars and their maintenance. I got 60K maintenance done on my Camry with a price tag of $718.00. This is the full maintenance they did for the vehicle. I did not remember what I did at 30K and dealer could not pull up 30K service record(He was able to pull up all other records), so I went with the suggested full maintenance. - Replace engine oil and filter - Rotate and balance tires - Visually Inspect brake linings - Replace engine air filter - Replace Cabin air filter - 4 wheel alignment - Inspect tire pressure -Inspect all vehicle fluids - BG fuel induction service - BG power steering flush - BG brake system flush - BG coolant flush - BG transmission flush - BG MOA oil supplement Is this too high for the things they have done on my Vehicle? Also they suggested to change FRONT PADS/SHIMS/ROTORS and quoted $400.00. Also suggested to change Serpentine Belt (He said it is cracking)and quoted $130.00 Also suggested to Clean and Adjust Rear Brakes and quoted $25.00 When I asked them if they can resurface rotors they said rotors were too rusty and they need to be replaced. Do rotors get that rusty 60,000 miles? Also, does Serpentine Belt quote seems to be reasonable? Please help with these questions?

Replying to: jmyana (Oct 21, 2008 4:17 pm) Cleaning the rear brakes and adjusting them sounds like a waste of time, unless they mean adjusting the emergency brake. Serpentine belt--that's a good idea and a fair enough price I guess given dealer rates. The brake pads and rotors sounds high but I wouldn't take it to some chain store either---perhaps you could find a competent independent garage to do the brake work and save yourself some money there. NEXT TIME -- when you go for your 90K service post the items here for us and we'll tell you what to buy and what to cross off the list prior to them working on it. Don't pay for additives and you don't need injector cleaning if your car is running well. On the plus side, it's good that you have the service records from the dealer, should you ever wish to sell the car and ask a good price for it. |
