Thanks so much for this vid! I have an 02' that I've been refurbishing. All new fluids, complete rebuild of brakes all around, etc. The car sat for 8 years in my side yard; a jump and it started on the first crank! My one concern right now is...when the engine is cool but not cold(after a trip to the grocery for example), the idle takes maybe a minute to settle down. Will rev between 700 and 2000. IACV replaced two years ago. MAFS and throttle body cleaned recently. Idle fine when fully warmed up. Also, just how important is inspecting valve lash? Engine has approx. 100,000 mi. It's the second motor, and I don't know its entire history as I bought the car in 08' with it already installed. Great, little, BASIC transportation. 40+ mpg on the freeway with a five speed manual.

I personally disagree. I’ve worked at Toyota and we never ran into these top 5 issues. The biggest issue was the clock going out, as well as the center console AC button lights going out.

My 2007 is pushing 190,000 miles and the only issue so far was a check engine light at 188,000 miles. The guy who scanned it tried to sell me a $160 oxygen sensor. I went to a different place and they said it was running lean so I replaced the $10 intake gasket and the light has been off ever since.

[@MarzNet256]

Number 6: Intake manifold gasket. Get the orange upgraded one. Fixes rough idle and improves mpg even with no lean codes. I replaced the throttle body gasket as well.

@marzNet256 do you have a link on how to do this ? Mine could use some idle improvements

[@MarzNet256]

@@ryanclark2645 Search on youtube: Matrix intake manifold gasket. There are two great channels: Fix it Angel, and South Main Auto. Remember, do not over tighten bolts. Bolts will suddenly get tight as mating surfaces meet, another 1/16 turn and you are good. Or just use a torque wrench. I cannot remember the torque spec but it is not a lot.

[@johnmadow5331]

I have 2008 Corolla that I brought used in 2010 that has 23K and currently has 150K. I brought OEM altenator and Exhaust system in 2009 for $85.00, but never have a chance to use these two items yet. I do normal maintiance such as regular oil and transmittion and Power Stearling fulid flood/change including master cylinder fulid. I have owned over than 3 Corolla since 2007 and all of them were brought used with low mileage (23-33K miles) and never had issue except valve cover gasget leaking. Toyota made much better quality car and Corolla is used for police and Taxi service in Japan including Camary that used for Japan Self Defense Maritime Security Forces.

[@I-sed-no]

@@jamescostello7584 I use full synthetic oil, OEM filter every 5000 miles w/out fail. It's a manual trans so I replace that oil every 50K. I do all of the work on it myself so when I change the oil I get every drop out, take my time. It's 2 years later and sitting at 280,000 miles. I've had to replace the driver's door actuator and valve cover gasket. I decided to go ahead and replace the water pump and thermostat recently just to be safe even though they were still working fine. At almost 300k it doesn't hurt to get out in front of some of those things if you can afford to. Also replaced the fuel cap because I was getting the P0456 code ($6 fix). Shocks never been replaced and still aren't leaking. Toyota quality is pretty impressive.

[@idrobinhood]

Main EVAP issue is not tightening down the gas cap. Thanks for the info 2006 Toyota Corolla 189,000 miles. Belt tensioner and tensioner bolts need to be check after 130,000 miles. The cost in repairing a Corolla to keep on rolling is far more cheaper than buying a new vehicle.

Very true, that's why I keep my 09

I have a 2K Rolla with the same VVT-i 1ZZ-FE motor. 268xxx miles and running strong. No oil burning issue that these are known for with higher mileage. Even the stock 4 speed auto shifts as it should. Biggest issue you'll have with a 7th-9th Gen Corolla is the damn thing falling and rusting apart but they run forever with little cost.

I did have engine issues but the Engine Control Computer warranty replacement solved that issue a few years down the road though. No issues on timing belt, or master cylinder. Starter sounds maybe so, so or its me holding down the key to long especially on cold mourning's. Gas cap issues, when in a hurry twice didn't tighten the cap down properly.

I’ve had an 07 ce for a few months now. Originally was going to get rid of it and get something newer but then I realized...why? It was only supposed to be a winter beater but so far has exceeded expectations. 206k, A/T. The 1zz is a very reliable engine. Recently I replaced most of the gaskets and even that made a world of difference. Couple other Corolla things to note: interior door handles and rear speakers. Handles get brittle after years of use, but that’s minor. If you don’t have tinted windows The rear speakers rot from heat and UV exposure and most 9th gens I see have aftermarket ones installed by now, being 14+ year old cars. Mine still has stock and they buzz and are torn. If that’s the worst of it though, I’ll never own another car! Everything else works as day 1. Toyota pwns

for me, 9th generation was the last generation that can be considered bullet proof, when the cvt transmission came, and all new sensors, the new generations of corolla continued to be a great car, but not like a tank, like the 9th generation, it became too much delicate, and the 11th generation with the new seats, it became way more unconforttable, in short distance, the seats are good, but for long trips, uuuf literally, , it became a pain in the ass.

[@msolis9901]

what'd you think about the new manuals I wonder if those are bullet proof i tho do agree the 9th gen is something else

[@jamescostello7584]

The 9th generation Corolla is basically an oil burning no power noise making in the motor piece of s*** the best one is the 08 out of all of them the 09 Corolla is a piece of s*** the 14 is a p and a 21 stick shift is a piece of s*** toe

Just replaced the starter on my '08 Toyota Corolla earlier today. I noticed that I was having trouble starting my car and initially thought it was the battery since the weather was getting hotter. I had trouble starting my car and got stuck at my cousin's house. I borrowed my aunt's truck and used my tools. The battery tested fine and I pulled off the starter. When I did, I say that it was the original starter from when the car was made. o_O I took it in and bought a brand new, not re-manufactured, starter and put it in. My car fired right up and I was able to use to get to work. Needless to say, I was happy to be back on the road. Aside from a replacement gas cap, a few flats, and routine maintenance, my corolla has been pretty reliable since I've bought it, which was January/ February of 2020. Overall, an excellent video. ^_^

[@pablorosado535]

This video helped me to identify several symptoms my 2005 Corolla has, now with more mileage than the one he shows in this video, more than 256, 350 miles; Replacing the Vapor Canister, with the original Toyota part, several rubber hoses from the EVAP System, which were showing small cracks, the VVTI Solenoid Valve which was leaking, and related parts like the intake manifold gasket, which is made of plastic, apparently the first years Toyota Corollas started to use a plastic intake manifold, and now the car accelerates smoothly, but I suspect there is another vaccum leak this time from the exhaust manifold, which some people over the Internet show a creative way to diagnose, by connecting a vaccum cleaner hose to the muffler, even with tape to help with this connection, and start the vaccum with the engine off, then spraying water to the exhaust manifold parts like you do to find a leak on a tire due to a nail or something similar. Many decided to keep using even daily their Toyotas as far as they can, instead of paying the unfair and ridiculous mark ups. Is a challenge because for daily use, even a Toyota has to be repaired properly, you can't go cheap.
