Servicing a 1.0, 3 Cylinder (1KR-FE) Toyota Yaris

[@andrewpreston4127]

Thank you for putting up this video. I've recently bought a 2006 one of these. I've already done the oil and filters change. Very handy to learn here that there is a little removable section above the brake master cylinder. Thanks again.

[@ashg3250]

Thanks, a bugger to get the oil filter off. I used the tool you use, from above via the engine bay, It worked a treat. Cheers from London UK

15:21 Never overtight a plastic cap... Or it will crack over time. Like it or not, that brake oil cap is engineered to allow air to flow in and out the reservoir, no matter how much you tighten it.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

I dont believe i overtightened it, my strength is not really so vast that I frequently break plastic caps haha. However good point anyhow.

oil filter 18nm, using the Toyota tool, costs 10 quid. oil drain is 25nm. 14mm socket. coilpacks 8nm 10mm socket spark plug 20nm 16mm socket fuel filter once 110k mls. special tool needed. rear seat is 50nm. E12 socket needed. Sorry I am safe, as last owner broke the bolt on the coilpack and that was a pita......

Handy information to have, thanks for sharing. Will do the next person who asks for torque specs. Do you have a link for the toyota tool?

[@1artonpower]

Could have replaced or clean the pcv valve on the way. But overall nice job.

[@emigrant4life]

Yaris - is a VERY reliable car! a have 2004 1.0l (only 160k km on the ODO) now, just for fun - and i really like it. before i owned Volvo S80, Honda Civic EG and Fiat Bravo II Sport.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

They are good wee cars, mechanically solid, especially as an urban runabout. Although i find this particular generation is now at the age where they can suffer badly from corrosion, although that does seem to be the case with most japanese stuff great mechanicals but they dont like our salted winter roads. Although i have an elderly neighbour who waxoyled his from new which has really helped it, a pleasure of a car to work on. What sort of S80 did you have? Its a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, i briefly had a V70 D5 which was lovely, volvo seats of the 2000s were the best in the business, the S80 was even better. I sold my 2004 one to my uncle and its still going strong 6 years later.

[@emigrant4life]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV I has S80 2000 2.0T. zero corrosion(in 2019). ..and Yaris needs a minimum anti-corrosion service, which will last for 3-5 years, but unfortunately, no one does it...

[@philipscott1128]

Interesting that the Yaris has an aluminium sump. The Aygos/C1/107 with this engine have a tin sump

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Just rewatched this, as i had an aygo in recently kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5m7dWd7dtqUbbc It does have a tin sump, suppose another way to keep the costs down on the aygo

[@procerus3654]

Also aygo/c1/107 have manual cable throttle bodies, while yaris 3 cyl has electronic

[@marekbalusik4214]

Thanks for the perfect video ! I found my sparkplugs are covered in oil, the car itself have a very high oil consupmtion ( 300 000+ km), about 1l on 3000km. What does it mean ? Its going to die ? No check engine light, just sometimes its sluggish, it have moods like women, sometimes it runs absolutely beatiful. Also got bad emissions only at idle ( wtf), can this be caused by this ?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there Is this the top of the sparkplugs or the tips of them when you have removed the plugs from the engine? If its the tops and the park plug tubes are filling with oil it might just be the valve cover gasket. If the tips of the plugs themselves, then the engine could be leaking oil into itself possibly through the valve stem oil seals which if the engine has a lot of miles on it then it could be doing that. Do you smell oil buring from the exhaust or see a blue colour to the smoke coming out?

[@robertnagy2456]

...and a cabin air filter replacement...

[@NiktoPH]

Hi i got this very same car and engine oil cap is too tight so i cant open it, any tips what could help ?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

A rag over the oil cap and a pair of pliers to turn it, the rag is there simply to avoid scratching the oil cap although generally using the pliers without the rag it would be hard to see any difference

[@andrewpreston4127]

Do you have any problems trying to actually get a legible oil level reading on these ? On mine, when I turn the engine off, leave it off for a typical 10 or 15 minutes, when I check the level ( after cleaning with a cloth ), the stick is just a big smear of oil all over the place.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Not too bad on this car, the dipstick read quite easily. However i have worked on diesel cars that had a black dipstick, and diesel oil no matter how well flushed and fresh is generally black which makes it very hard to read.

[@1artonpower]

Same here, but the engine needs 3.1 litres of oil. I simply put in the amount required.

[@LOREGUINNESS]

I have the same engine on a Aygo had Is hard to read always...the word mess Is right. On one side is over the maximum and the onther side is between the two lines. I interprete that as a normal and right oil level an since the consumes are correct the crankshaft should not touch the oil surface and is running smoothly. Imho you have to Watch out when you do the oil change and pour the recommended quantity of oil, let the engine idle and recheck. And then that sign..whatever you read should be the correct One. Let me know if you ppl updated this topic. Best and thanks for sharing and asking.

[@LOREGUINNESS]

What grade of oil are you running and why, please? Toyota suggest 0w20.as best choice.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@LOREGUINNESS Hello there, Oil, If Toyota suggest that in their service manual then i would buy it . I do not follow oil grades with any degree of interest. Sorry but i have tried reading articles on oil grades and they have the effect of putting me to sleep. i know and respect the fact that each engine has their recommended oil type but leave it to the motor factors to provide the correct oil for the engine which they do via a reg lookup. (In this instance it was 5w-30) If it is a fairly fresh car or one with a more sophisticated engine such as a modern diesel or turbo petrol. I will make a point of checking the service manual in the owners handbook for what it recommends and get specifically that oil, if that handbook is missing i will then research on the owners forums. Having said that these engines in the Aygo are a fairly simple bulletproof unit, there will be no requirement for DPF low saps compatibility. WIth regards the dipstick, bring the level up to just under the maximum mark, run the engine for a minuite to allow the oil filter to fill up, turn it off and check again. Top up whatever is required to bring the level just under the maximum mark.

[@madkoolieindi]

You don’t clear the throttle body? And the air flow sensor? To reduce vibration

[@EmreMacMillan]

07:14 Does the car have any damage on the right side? The right chassis looks bent. Is that normal? Shouldn't it be straight like a pillar? Because my 2nd hand Yaris has the same shape of chassis on the right and I'm told that it's bent, it should be straight. Could you enlighten me?

[@nadim2769]

Great video, just random but have you serviced a car that covered more than 40k miles since its last mileage? Just asking out of curiosity

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

The last yaris my aunt had the red one, i serviced it when she got it and then about 6 years later she complained about it overheating, i aksed when she had last serviced it and she said when you did it for me 🤣. There was also a micra K12 which probably had never been serviced, although with it i changed the engine.

[@nadim2769]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV 😂😂😂 I brought my 2004 yaris a few months ago without service history, serviced it myself and now I've done nearly 5k, I'm doing an oil and oil filter change. I really want my yaris to last, got a t spirit spec for a bargain, brought it as a non runner and found the bonnet release cable snapped and the battery was flat. Cut the grill, undid the bolts for the bonnet catch, jump started it and it's driven everyday since then 😂😂😂. I got really lucky with it

@@nadim2769 Happy days, good thing with an old toyota is if they are taken care of, and the rust kept at bay with the right underbody treatment they just keep going on and on and on. An old neighbour of mine has a 1997 Corolla 1.3 that comes to my lift, while it inevitably ends up being very messy to work on because he sprays underneath it with oil it only every needs a basic service.

[@abela2354]

what about the transmission oil?

[@mar-qf5mibe]

Hi, I'm buying a car with the same engine. Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Sirion I take it the servicing done here should more or less be the same as I should do on that car? One of my interests is to DIY the servicing, and these 1 litres seems like the best way to go all around.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Best of luck with the new car, ive sat in Daihatsu Sirions recently and found them to have superb seats, a wee bit different to the yaris but the same mechanicals. The 1.0 seems to be quite a reliable engine and they return good fuel economy, the servicing should basically be the same as the yaris.

[@mar-qf5mibe]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV great, thanks And keep up the awesome content!

[@mar-qf5mibe]

@@mar-qf5mibe What is your market, Daihatsu does not have a huge presence over here in northern ireland but i would assume there are plenty in some markets perhaps australia or japan.

[@arxcns]

Hi there! What's the recommended oil change interval for this engine model?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

I will be honest i dont know, the service handbook normally gives these details, the owners club is also worth asking. Generally on my own cars or those belonging to relatives i would service them once a year or every 10,000 miles.

[@tardeliesmagic]

Do it every 5,000m but no more than 6,000m for trouble free issues & motoring,the engine will love you for it. 10,000m is pushing it year on year.

[@zoidberg444]

An excellent choice of car for 20,000 miles a year. I have the same car. It's cheaper to run than a diesel. These will do 60MPG if you drive them carefully. Your aunt is like my sister - sensible in her choice of car but doesn't seem to understand the concept of servicing. I found out last Christmas she had put 23,000 miles on her Auris in 18 months without a service. Just watch out with these engines. Mine burns about 600ml of oil every 1000 miles and has done since it had 60,000 miles on the clock.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Without a doubt, very easy to run on petrol and fundamentally a simple engine. Another aunt had a 1.4 D4D yaris and to be honest the presence of torque was actually quite nice it made it a much more relaxed car to drive, and it was stupendously easy to run. However, i could feel the beginnings of DMF judder, there also is the potential for other trouble with EGR, injectors, the high pressure pump, possibly even the DPF although i dont know if it had one. The petrol especially as a car for short runs is much better.

Hi, my mechanic used 10w40 in my 1kr-fe. He said that it's due to the weather in my country since we reach 40 degrees celcius. Was he right?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi The owners handbook will probably refer to the recommended oil grade for specific climates. It is very plausible that this car specifies that grade of oil for hotter climates.

[@thecomptech2113]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV the thing is that it didn’t come with the owner’s handbook since it is japan import car. Would it hurt the engine if I keep using this oil and then change to 5w30 in the next interval? I usually change my oil every 5000km. Also another question, is 5w30 effective in hot climates like when it reaches 40 degrees celcius? Thanks very much!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@thecomptech2113 I will be honest i dont follow oil grades with a huge amount of enthusiasm. I respect that specific engines require specific oils, oil is not just oil. A VW PD engine for example needs a specific oil, any modern DPF equipped diesel requires the correct grade of low SAPS oil. However wee small naturally aspirated engines they are less fussy, variable valve timing systems usually require a bit of care. Possibly best to type in your engine code into google and do a bit of reseach specific to that engine, ask on owners clubs also what people prefer to use for their specific climate. I generally just trust my local motor facotrs, they can look up the correct oil for the car based on its registration. Opie oils also do something similar.

Hi, i would recommend checking with your local motor factors. I stay clear of the oil debates to be honest, just get the handbook recommends and if its missing just let the motor factors use their computer system to determine the right oil. Only thing i tend to be a bit more cautious with is modern diesels where the DPF and emissions systems are more sensitive to the oil grade.

Hi, to be honest i do not know. I do not work a great deal on these cars, never had an automatic one in. I can only advise google, or the owners club for that specific information. Perhaps purchase a service manual to get the correct procedure for changing the ATF fluid. It may require a filter.

This is not how to change brake fluid

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

It is one way to flush brake fluid, if you want to have a collection of bits of brittle old hose gather up then by all means the bottle method or 2 person method works great. However with a sealey vs420 its a simple case of pressurising the system and bleeding at each wheel. Clean off all the old brake fluid to prevent corrosion or rubber degradation and the end result is that the brake fluid has been flushed and a firm brake pedal.
