Broke down, with what? Collision damage related?

I haven't seen real amber/yellow fog lights that can cut through the fog in a long time, just the white driving lights that make visibility in the fog much worse.

That's quite a bit of petroleum oil sludge built up and it acts like a layer of insulation, causing the engine to run hotter, which dries out gaskets and seals making them crack and leak. It's best to remove it and use a strong cleaner on it along with a wire brush. To prevent the sludge from...

Possibly, but only one is true. Research and find the truth. :):thumbup::rockon:

Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :thumbsup: :):balloon::clap::thumbup::rockon:

Beware that unless you are a trained automotive technician, disturbing the air bags can cause them to deploy and replacement costs are hundreds, sometimes over $1,000.

Welcome to the Corolla Forum! :) :clap::balloon::thumbup1::thumbup::rockon:

fishycomics raises a good point. In states that have annual safety/emissions inspections, replacing the catalytic convertor, (per law), must be done by an automotive technician and not a do-it-yourselfer in their own driveway. fishycomics - Getting the c-clamps off isn't the main problem...

Is there something wrong with the stock headlights?

My pleasure. We're here to help. :thumbsup: By the way, even if the catalytic convertor is not welded on, but uses exhaust c-clamps instead, the parts are going to be rusted together and be virtually impossible to remove with mere hand tools. A cutting torch is really needed here. How was...

To extrapolate, these high-flow exhaust system components are fine for a race car that is seeing 5,000 RPM's + constantly and wants to take the checkered flag, but realistically, is that the world your Corolla lives in? If your car is driven like that, beaten on and put away wet, trying to win...

Being welded, it will be tough to replace unless you have a torch. To verify, look under the car. I recommend staying away from aftermarket, "performance", catalytic convertors. It's not unusual for the quality to be very lacking, i.e. made in China. Over-scavenging the exhaust can also...

With high mileage, it is very likely a worn out/stretched transmission shifting cable causing the problem. When it eventually breaks, you will not be able to shift the transmission at all and you will not be able to drive the car. The car will need to be put on a lift and looked at from...

Knocking sounds are not normal. Something is wrong. Get it to a professional automotive technician for diagnosis and repair.

What year/make/model vehicle and how many miles? Guessing, it sounds like a binding or stretched transmission shifter cable.

Guessing, of course, it sounds like some kind of electronics issue. A Toyota automotive technician will be your best bet.

In almost 30 years in the auto repair/maintenance/synthetic oil industry I've never seen an original equipment catalytic convertor that was not welded on to the exhaust pipes. Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

That depends on what that $100 of insurance includes or not. Yes?
