A year together - Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 2000
Today is exactly one year, as I am the owner of this car.
Drove very little in a year, about 9 thousand km.
Work done in a year
— set the music
— set up an interactive alarm
— cleaned the fuel system
— slightly changed the appearance, tinted + "ara" radiator mesh
Technical problems:
1 replaced the hub bearing — howled.
2. replaced the XX sensor, a problem with idling
The trunk is leaking. Clumsy tins, apparently the Chinese did.
Plans:
— fix the jambs with the body
--- replace / straighten the front right fender
--- paint the rear bumper
--- fix the leakage of the trunk, set the gaps
— replace the stabilizer bushings, gear cushion, front and lower control arm sealing blocks
— bleed the brakes, with a note tormozuhi
— tumanki bumper
But for some reason I want more and more manual transmission.
I would have fixed everything long ago, but I can’t find a highly paid job. How do they know that a student, especially a full-time student - "We'll think about it and call you back" :) You have to work for a penny)
Basically satisfied with the machine. The average consumption in the summer is ~ 10.5 in the city, with an average driving intensity. It didn’t let me down in the cold, I was even a little surprised, after 10 days of parking on the street at -30, it started up, I just brought the battery from home :)
PS A car is an expensive pleasure for me, it consumes more than half of my budget :)
Mileage: 173 590 km
