Troubleshooting - logbook Toyota Corolla Runx 2001

Maybe I'll start from the beginning

September 11
10:45 am I went to Domingo (hardware store) to buy the necessary things to continue home repairs. The car behaved as usual! Calm and measured!
14:20 Having finished with household chores, I left the house and got into the car without suspecting anything, having passed a couple of traffic lights, I start moving and I feel that the car began to “stupid”, when starting it kicks and plays with turns. Without attaching special importance to this in the first case, the same thing happens the second time at the next traffic light! And so with every start of movement!
Seriously thought about the cause of the problem!
16:50 I call the guys I know from the service. After explaining to them the whole situation, they advised me to change the oil in the box! Yes, I missed this moment because after buying this car I did not change the oil in the transmission, but half a year has passed and during this time I have traveled around 8-9 thousand km.

14 September

15:30 And so it's been 3 days and the picture is still the same! Having withdrawn money from the card, I went to a friend [a neighbor on the site =))] in AvtoMasla on Kuznetsk, talking about the problems, he offered to completely change the oil in the box! I, too, wanted to do this from the very beginning of the purchase, but all hands did not reach! And here he arrived!
When buying oil, I immediately signed up for a replacement and gave it for work. Everything came out at 2.5 thousand.
4:30 p.m. It's my turn! I stop by, I give the ticket to the master

and 10 liters of Valvoline Max Life T IV gear oil

16:50 And so the process began! Having connected all the "hoses" to the transmission, the old oil began to be pumped out! And what do I see, a rancid "Blackish" slurry of a thick consistency flowed from the hose! The master with a slight expression of surprise (he has seen worse, but what he sees in this one is also not "Good"), say: "Yeah, there's nothing left of the oil, just one word, the oil in the box probably hasn't been changed for years 5! 10 liters may not be enough, you need another 5 liters for the best result!". After this phrase, I went to the store for an "additive" of another +1000 rubles. Having crossed the road in the wrong place with very active traffic and even over the rails =) In short, a fine for me =))) I bought another 5 liters =) And again in the same way =))
Giving the master "supplement" I continued to watch everything that was happening! There is not a big screen on the device that shows what kind of oil is in the box at the moment!
From the very beginning, the screen was black, see for yourself what ran into the canister, though the volume is certainly not the same =)))

But after driving all 14.8 liters of oil [200 ml, still left =)) poured it into a bottle and took it with me =) ] a nice red tint was shown on the screen, such a "view from the canister"

17:40 I'm leaving the garage! Pleased! =) EVERYTHING thought now everything will be fine! But not here it was all the same picture is happening!
18:03 I drove into the yard of my house in frustrated feelings, parked, got out of the car and saw my good friend Ilya coming out of the entrance! Approaching him, I told about my "problems"! Offered a ride and listen! Ilya, sitting behind the wheel, drives out onto the road and gives gas to the cutoff and the car does not go! He immediately understood what was happening (he had this happen) and reassured me that these were not problems with the transmission, he said that it could be problems with some things, the first is the spark plugs, the second is the wire armor and the third is the injector.
I decided to start small, with spark plugs.
19:35 I bought 4 new Denso candles, paid 440 rubles, for one I decided to change and gave 330 rubles for the air filter.

In the parking lot of the store, I immediately set about replacing the filter and spark plugs.

The old filter looks "not very" against the background of the new one

And so I put a new filter, great! Let's continue!

I remove the plastic cover from the engine, pull out the "armor", unscrew the old candles, put in new ones.
Started, sat down, went! And about the MIRACLE! Everything works great! The car is running smoothly again! Even better than before! =)) And I swung at the problems with the box! And all it cost was to change the candles =) Well, okay, but I know that there will be no problems with the box, I hope =)
20:20 I came home satisfied =))) Here is such a story! =))
Yes, here's another thing! I wanted to share one more piece of information! Namely, what kind of oil I fill in the engine, I ask for your attention NESTE OIL full Synthetic oil

Yes, I told them so, aboltus Mlyn, only in the Basins now and then they dig =) And I thanked Ilya =)

Funny guys who offered to change the oil in the box. Don't ask their advice anymore)

Gennasik 26.01.22

Toyota is an order of magnitude more expensive, at 550 per liter, i.e. 15 * 550 = 8250, alas, I'm not a rich man, but this is a specially designed analogue

PahaKornev 26.01.22

why didn’t you pour Toyota oil into the gearbox?

G
Gennasik 26.01.22

Yes, with our gasoline, the candles have to be changed more often! On Honda for the season I changed 2 sets of candles! But oh well, it's still consumables so it's not scary!

and candles on our gasoline even after 5-6 thousand km. change! I have not yet switched to good gasoline, and I suffered!

I advise FORUS, but it was in the spring.

Hi Kol! Tormozuhu I have already changed, and in the hydraulic booster, and in the engine, as soon as I bought it! I changed all the fluids immediately, except for the automatic transmission, yes, I also think it’s not 5 years for sure, but it was time to change it =) I didn’t have any particular suspicions about the injector =)

kem500 26.01.22

Hey Gene! Why didn't you change the brakes? I said I'll tell you everything! without shame, because I didn’t sell it to you! the injector was cleaned a year ago on the "Hunter" and the oil was changed in the automatic transmission, but not 5 years ago

Gennasik 26.01.22

Thank you =) The rocket really flew =)) Although, to be honest, you can’t call it a rocket, but it’s just right for the city! =)

The result is felt right away! =) I will wait for your report in bortovik about the prevention of the engine =)

somebody 26.01.22

Harosh, I did half of it ... I also want to feel the result after washing the injectors and changing the candles ...

G
Gennasik 26.01.22

Yes, they need an eye and an eye =) These are consumables, they present surprises every now and then =)

I had such a problem, I thought that it didn’t pull, it stalled at the start, the candles were normal, but the air and fuel filters wished for the best =)))

G
Gennasik 26.01.22

Yeah =) Now there will be less worries =)

V
Vlad22 26.01.22

No, well, the oil in the box is not in vain changed! it happens so often, you think something is serious, but in reality it's nothing =)

B
BiGBrO 26.01.22

Yes, I’m already tired =))) I want to finish the Volga, and I’m going to repair mine =))) yes, and remembering the oil in the box is a very good thing =)

Is 5w40 too thick? VVT-I sorry. 5w30 will be just right.

G
Gennasik 26.01.22

Have not sold yet, I go happy and do not think to sell. The oil is generally excellent, there are no complaints and it is great for vvt-i
