Man talking like if original Toyota parts cheap

and half of them will run to bobby's to buy aftermarket knock offs...

people who say european are to expensive have no idea the bullsh!t they are talking. i wonder if anyone of them ever stop to consider that european cars and parts are sold the worldwide and they are tonnes of after market OEM parts available.

called toyota for a pair of lower control arm bushes for the AE111 Corolla (cradle arm bushes for you bamboo-surfers)............they told me they don't sell the bush separate, and I need to buy two control arms (cradles) at over 2k each.................with the MINI, I can buy the bush, the bush with the bracket, or the whole control arm............who's the thief there?
A set of plug wires for said corolla is 800 from toyota..........a fcuking radiator is 12k..............a power steering pump is over 5k

what's the failure rate on the audi transmission? is it at a certain mileage? is it after a certain mileage if it still running normal then it is one of the few?

Seems like Tttl don't sell parts separate.


I need two bushings for a steering rack and they said I have to buy the entire rack for $12,000.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

You need to be more specific I think. CVT(Multitronic)? Slushbox Auto? S-Tronic? What year Audi? Makes a difference as the same model tranny is tweaked over the years with adjustments to account and correct previous issues so an A4 from 2004 vs say 2007 would have the same tranny but the 07 one would have new part numbers signifying a tweak.

See if you can get a hold of Toyota's online or offline parts catalog software. Might be able to get a blow up drawing of the rack and part numbers for the bushings.

Is this a rack for a RAV4 by the way?

[kurpal_v2]

Yep 2003 rav4


My best bet right now is to drop the rack and remake Teflon bushings.

Nothing to do with the transmission itself...

Just the 2002-2005 A4s and A6s had a problem with the Transmission Control Module that goes bad. The ones from 2006-present are fine.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Is it something like this you need?

Seems to be more of an issue with TCU installed on the multitronic trannies.

Based on wiki page and forums I wouldn't touch it. equipped also says the same thing. Too much of a coincidence.
