To have the paint match it's best for a professional to do this.

Again, http://www.Car-Part.com will tell you.

Mike - This is a known recall issue and it's not just, "one of those things". If you bought the car new, you have the Lemon Law on your side, which states that if they can't fix the car within three tries, they have to buy the car back from you for what you paid for it. This is a...

For very hot regions, a 10W-30 or 10W-40 will be more than enough. If oil needs to be added in only 200 miles, it's likely there is an oil leak somewhere.

Are you certain this came from your car or is it something your car ran over? If it really came from your car it looks like some kind of major frame component. I'd have a professional automotive technician check that out immediately.

If the radiator hoses have not been replaced in 160,000 miles, they are way past due to be replaced, as is the thermostat. The brake and power steering fluid should also be replaced.

Welcome aboard! :)

No oil changes, brakes, air or fuel filters, new antifreeze, wiper blades or radiator hoses in 160,000 miles?

http://www.Car-Part.com will tell you and also find thousands of parts for you. Why did the rear axle lock up?

Just call me Scott. Thanks. :) First of all, the recommended oil viscosity that Toyota engineers want to see in your 2000 Corolla is a 5W-30. Why are you using such a thick 20W-50 viscosity? Using such a thick viscosity will reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, reduce performance/power...

At CarComplaints.com, http://www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/Corolla/2000/engine/, out of the millions of Corolla's sold, there are 33 complaints for excessive oil consumption for this car with this issue being the #1 complaint. Have you calculated how many miles elapse before you need to add...

Whatever you think looks best is really all up to you. You're the one that has to live with it, no one else. You buy a car for you, no one else. :) I personally don't like this huge wheel, tiny tire craze at all. As for looks, I think it looks like a car on skateboard wheels. Absolutely...

As for personal choices that you have to live with, I like whatever you think is best. :)

Wow! Great response and website! This will help many people here. Thank you!

Even the roof is rusting? I have to say, in all my 30 years in the automotive repair/maintenance industry, I have never seen that before. Can you get some pictures of this to post here? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to take a look at this. If even the roof is rusting, this...

Thanks. I really appreciate that. :)

As is quite common with seemingly 99% of the people who post questions here, (almost always for free repair advice), they probably will not return to contribute anything to this forum or even say thank you, just as the other two people who posted questions yesterday, and the day before that, etc.

When it comes time for a warranty on the parts, mail order makes things very difficult and is a major pain in the neck. Nothing like supporting one's local economy.:)

1993 Toyota Corolla base w/1.6 engine I am charging the AC. If I hold the RPM's up - maybe 1500 or so - the suction pressure runs about 35-40 lbs. The head pressure is 175 lbs, and pretty cold air comes out of the vents. But if I let it idle, it idles low and rough, the suction pressure...

It is not normal for a car to have a rusty hood. The only solution for that is to replace the hood. For not a whole lot of money, a good used one can be had from a junkyard and repainted to match the rest of the car, or if you're lucky you can find a hood that matches the color of your car...
