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.
@@floridaboi904 yes, the engine wear on 1.8L is really mild, As long as do regular oil change with right oil and drive in highway regularly, this car last really long.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me!
I have a 04 Corolla S 184,000 miles. Just changed the timing chain tensioner plus an oil change. Transmission shifts great , starts up on every turn. Ac blows ice cold. I’m in love!😍 Hands down best car I ever owned. Toyota mastered the 1.8 1zz Engine.
I have a Corolla Verso 04 European version 1.8 manual 1.8zz Engine with 160.000 ( almost 100.000 miles) and in all these years I had ZERO problems ......There is no need to add oil in between the oil changes ..... Just changed few years ago a car bulb.. Best car I ever had !!!
This car is indestructible. I have a 2005 and the only problem it gave me, besides regular maintenance, was a muffler oxygen sensor. Less than $100, parts and labor, in 15 years.
what were you symptoms of a bad muffler oxygen sensor? I have a slow acceleration upon the start in cold weather, need to rev up to 3K before it picks up speed. What kind of problem is this?
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.
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.
@@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.
@@spartacusmars1887 buy the gaskets from a dealer. They overcharge, but it's a cheap part. Different dealers charge diff prices, so shop around or buy from a dealer online.
I have a 2007 Corolla that I bought in 2014. When I bought it, the mileage was 123k. 7 years later, I’m currently at 288k. In the past, I’ve had to swap out the starter, the alternator, and the motor blower behind the glove compartment. Rarely gave me issues until last year. I have a cracked manifold exhaust. Still runs, just loud.
I have a loud exhaust leak. Been meaning to check to see if the manifold is cracked or if the gasket let go. I’m hoping gasket but you know we hardly get lucky when stuff goes out.
@@npweeazel unfortunately no. I sold it for $1000 to the local pick-a-part. Shortly after the 288k miles, more issues came. The wheel bearing was wearing out, the drive shaft gave out, still wasn’t passing the smog, and the cracked manifold was still there. The odometer read 299,200 when I sold it
I've got one with 223k . Its started making a buzzy sound intermittently when I accelerate , seems worse when it's hot. Anyone have ideas? I feel like I can smell the exhaust more than usual upon starting it too.
So did my father in law, he had like 240,000 miles and only put a starter in it. Something went wrong and the repair was gonna cost more than the value so he got rid of it. Not really sure what it was though.
@@doloreshernandez1666 Very nice! It will last him a long time with proper maintenance. My starter went out a couple months ago. Other than that its still going!
Thanks! My 2005 with 230,000 miles is making some timing chain noise. Sounds like the tensioner needs to be replaced. Engine light is on and codes match the issues you pointed out about the charcoal canister and filter. Thanks for helping me keep this wonderful car running for a few more years!!!
Anthony's Corollas like you got people trying to sell the old garbage I would not buy one unless it has plenty of power clean what inside inside the engine clean and under 200,000 miles and I prefer the 08 and the other one I ever seen his garbage only assholes that used to buy an unreliable s*** fix a great cause this s*** if everybody maintained them every 3,000 Mi oil change they'll all be great but nobody does that that's why they're f****** garbage and the other problem is people ask too much money for them and they drive and smelling sound like s***
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.
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.
What mods did you do to get this mpg? I drive 22 miles per day 5 days a week. $40 usd will get me almost 4 weeks right now. This car runs just with the smell of gasoline lol I love this car
How often do you change the oil in it let me know specifically and what are you supposed to do right now I am looking for an 08 Corolla only that year with maintenance if you take the oil cap off the engine and look inside the engine is a full Brown s*** or the clean like nope take a picture like to see it
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.
@@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.
I have an 04 Corolla that's about to roll into 300,000 miles! The only thing that's been done is regular maintenance and an alternator replacement. I love my Toyota 😍
my 04 corolla le started to leak oil from the timing chain tensioner at 90k km in 2021. I noticed it started to hate going up hills that it used to climb without a problem and during my oil change at 90k I saw that my power steering pump was coated in fresh oil and I changed the o ring gasket and it has stopped leaking since. otherwise absolutely solid and I can't complain
I have an 03 Corolla with 298 thousand miles. Starts and runs like a dream. Nothing wrong. I do all the work and maintenance myself. It doesn't take much. Very reliable vehicle. But now they are very expensive and hard to find a good deal. Cus people have taken notice how good they are.
Thanks for Sharing This Video!! I Recently Had A Problem With My 9th gen Corolla The Check Engine light Came On And I Found Out it Was A Loose Gas Cap. Did A EVAP Test And Found Out That's Why.
You are totally right 👍🏼 I have a 2007 with 287000 miles and I got all this issues + intake manifold gasket leaked but to be honest it is a very strong car I never thought it will keep driving all this years plus it never died on the road never if there’s an issue it pops up a check engine light 💡, I got another car and I parked the Corolla in the driveway for 14 months without cover and one day decided to fix it cuz had many memories with it then I jumped the battery and it runs 😅took it for a ride then changed oil + filter and that’s it still hits the road
I pried the lower plastic up and out both front n back at the lower door jabs and liberally spayed oil in it ... NO RUST ! Any thing melted vaseline, hell... break or tranny fluid . Mine is an 07 I give it a drink every other yr. The use SAILT her in NC. So far so good. Ps. I think Scotty, would approve this message .
I have toyota altis 2005 but i didnt encounter any problem as u mentioned in your video. My toyota altis still in 100% good condition. Just gas and go.😊
Hey Joaquin, I have a 2005 Toyota corolla and the clutch is not serving me well. I even got a new one fitted in but it still doesn't engage like a proper clutch. Have you encountered similar issues.
I own an 06 Corolla. The clock looks like I need to re-flow the solder. Works sometimes, is dim at others. It still blows cold AC in Las Vegas after 15 years. Also, Its a stick shift and I need to rev-match when down-shifting into 3rd gear.Works fine when shifting up. Weird issue that I have just learned to live with.
As someone who bought a 2005 Corolla from the dealership and still use it to this day over 200k and it works like brand new ! Super clean ! Never ran into any of these issues other then the headlights .
2004 from dealership also. Super clean also. Replaced both headlights after ordering new ones on Amazon, very cheap about $80 I believe 4 or 5 years ago. The odometer is at 88K. Only drive 1,600 miles a year. Retired, 70 yrs old. This comment section has me convinced the Corolla LE will out live me!
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. ^_^
I have a 05 corolla, bought used from a doctor 6 years ago and still rocking like new, it's being repair a few times but nothing crazy, the starter was fix one time (not replace it), the radiator fan and one engine mount, nothing else
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.
I owned a Corolla S 03, my very first car. I bought with 175k miles when I was in high school, 5 years later I sold it with 245k miles. Never let me down, only issues I had was the radiator, water pump and thermostat but other than that never had big issues. I drove that beater from Georgia all the way to Maryland, drove back. I regret selling it now that gas prices are mess up.
I had a 2005 - never had any problems other than changing the battery and brake pads. I sold it cause I had 2 other vehicles. These Corollas are bullet proof if you maintain them. ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR OIL EVERY 5000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL + SPECIAL OIL FILTER and it will run forever.
I’m in Alaska work at toyota dealership. We have never seen 1 master cylinder come in for any issues. I have many friends that own shops. They’ve never had any come in. Far as the tensioner never seen any come in. VVT solenoid haven’t seen any issues. No starter issues either,,,, the gas cap issue is a individual error a lot of the time cap not on completely,,,,,227,000 miles on the 1 your working on is awesome. Lol,,,, what part of the United States are you guys located ? I’m not making this up. I’m honestly telling you the truth. No arguing
I had a belt tensioner replacement (bolt breaking). 2006 Corolla at 130,000 miles, currently at 189,000. 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. One problem right headlight wiring short, burned around my socket and bulb plus wearing out the battery. Partial wiring change with socket. (I'm really happy that I bought a car with a timing chain.)
Intimating video, hope to have better luck than that… Just bought me a 100k mile Corolla and love it. Performed all the maintenance. Should be good to go for many trouble free years.
+Vincent Rodriguez Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Inside door handles. AC relays. Alternators. Ignition coils/connectors. Valve cover gaskets. That’s what I see mostly on them. Also evap codes, purge and vent solenoids, radiators, axle bearings, axles, O2 sensors, etc....
I would say the most common problem is the serpentine belt tensioner. Easy fix, usually at about 150k. My 2006 is still running strong at 415000 miles.
Thank you , just bought a 03 corrola and w breaks are fighting me , I'm definitely going to check if I need to replace the master cylinder or push rod.
I have been working on cars for 10 years, went to Toyota TTen school, worked for Toyota/Lexus for half of those years, and I have never seen a Master Cylinder go bad on one of these. A much more prominent problem on these would be the intake plenum gasket/MAP sensors causing a rough idle and lean code first thing on a cold morning.
I have a 2006 corolla, and I drove for a year and half with the code P0171. I replaced the Mass air sensor, but it didn't work. I assume that is due to manifold gasket. Is that ok still driving it without fixing it if I want run another 100k miles?
350K miles on my 04 Corolla and never had an issue with the master cylinder. Starter makes the whine, but that's been happening for years and still starts every time with no other issues. Rock solid cars that I highly recommend to anyone who wants a super rel8able vehicle.
400K miles and still not burning oil, no master cylinder problems, no major issues. Replaced the timing chain tensioner multiple times, replaced valve cover gasket, etc. Normal older engine maintenance. 20 yr old car. Got my money out of her, and now every mile is just icing on the cake.
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
I have a 2007 Corolla CE (bought it brand new) with 135,000 miles on it and so far so good with mine, other than scheduled maintenance no problems here :)
My 2006 Corolla only has only given me the Starter problem so far, and was fairly easy to replace. Other than that, ice cold A/C, runs like new and soon to reach 300 thousand miles 😁
@@juanaraujo4852 depends in what condition the car is. If the previous owner took good care of it and kept up with maintenance on it then it's gonna last you long. Mines is reaching almost 300k miles and running perfect. My advice is, do the oil change as schedule and warm up your engine before running it 👍
@@juanaraujo4852In 2010, I brought 2002 Corolla from the estate sale of 90 years old guy from Florida that has 22K with original tire. I kept it parked and I replaced PW window motor on my owned that took 40 minutes with simple tool since it kept strucked and I can stand the mechanic in CT that want $600.00 and 3 months waiting list.
I have the same Corolla 250k miles my AC stopped working. Wondering if it makes sense to fix it so l can give the car to my daughter or just trade it towards a newer car.
@@Citrussun755 with the AC button on does the AC compressor clutch spin? If yours is a AC clutch like mine the part is only like $45 on Amazon. It's easy to replace, think somebody would do it for $100 or you could do yourself if you have tools / mechanical skill.
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.
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
The cloudy headlights can be refinished with a Meguiars kit but it only lasts about a year. The next time I refinished, I applied 3M clear bra urathane film. It's now been three years and still looks good.
07 S here & I would say after you said the problems with the master cylinder that literally sounds like my car. I also have to change the struts/shocks. One more problem I have is the overdrive, it doesn’t switch smoothly.
Love my 2005 corolla! I've only had it 4-5 months now but it's been great. I've done some maintenance since owning it like fluids, filters, starter, spark plugs, battery, brakes and just did the valve cover gasket since when I did the plugs there was some oil on the plugs and coils so it needed to be done. But shes running great! No issues!
Plan on buying an 02 corolla seems like a good deal and its a 5 speed going to check it out next weekend to replace my daily ford ranger on 31s getting 12mpg lmao

@@issavibez394 they run regular, but what they don’t tell you is that , the higher your mileage, the harder your car works.... it’s just like putting oil in your car, the higher the mileage, the heavier your oil should be... like high mileage oil or synthetic! Same as gas
In December I had to replace my 1990 Volvo 240 wagon with 400,000 miles on the clock. My late mother's last car. Her next door neighbour had to stop driving, so i bought her car. Yoda is a 2004 with 100,000 miles on the clock. Had to change the catalytic converter because it started leaking. I also had to di front wheel bearings. That was a job and a half. Certainly not a do it yourself. Luckily I have a friend with a full machine shop. I put a set of Nokian Haakappilliitta R5 winter tires on. I do not like the front wheel drive in the snow at all, and im not crazy about it in the rain, either. I used to bigger, heavier, rear wheel drive, and that is my preference. Still, Yoda is doing the job. I do enjoy it over all. A little more room would be nice, though.
I’m having master cylinder problems so for everyone saying these are false it could just not be yours but I have an 2006 ce and my cylinder is fucked breaks went out today thanks for this video bud
My daughter has one, great car. The starter did go out at about 150k miles but she had stupidly let her roommate use it for GrubHub deliveries...that probably put a few years on the starter and battery.
Thanks. This was very informative. My sister loaned me her car and thanks to your video, I was able to diagnose the issue with the idle after the local mechanic did not. Again... thanks. Great informative video.
2005 with over 400k so far with only minor issues. My last 2 clutches only lasted 150K miles each and I just destroyed my condenser today, but other than that rock solid.
When someone asks me about what kind of car they should buy , I always tell them a Toyota or Honda ( Lexus or Acura if youre spending more $ ) Ive owned about 6 toyotas and 3 Lexus and they were all good cars .
Thanks dude.... this is super awesome to know (and be prepared for) the typical problems with my (18 year old - 150K miles) 9th Generation Corolla. My car has a rattling startup that make a noise when I decelerate to/accelerate from a stop, and it typically goes away approximately 3 minutes later after engine warms up. Any ideas? Could it be that clogged screen to the VVTI you mentioned?
I guess I'm lucky. I inherited my mother's 2003 Corolla, I've had none of these issues and known the car since new, but then again it only has 78,000 miles (125,000 km). But, now I know what to watch for. Just waiting for my odometer to get stuck at 299,999. I had my headlights restored a few years ago, still look like new. The 9th gen Corolla model years in the US and Canada were 2003-2008. And of course, the Corolla in the video looks stunning in grandma beige.
2004 160k drives and shifts like a dream. Top problem was fix with a $5 construction adhesive from home depot of the passenger side A-pillar molding fell out.
I have a 08 corolla. Mine rolled to 299,999 5 years ago and is still going strong. Besides the normal ongoing maintenance issues like pads, rotors, etc.. the corollas have an issue with the rear trunk latch assemblies. I have put 2 in mine so far.
Something that was missed on this video was the P0171 running lean engine code. Usually what causes this is the intake manifold gasket has dry rotted. This is a notable problem on the early 2000s Corolla.

I've got one with 223k . Its started making a buzzy sound intermittently when I accelerate , seems worse when it's hot. Anyone have ideas? I feel like I can smell the exhaust more than usual upon starting it too.
I have an 03 corolla s with 297,000 miles and still runs and drives amazingly
So did my father in law, he had like 240,000 miles and only put a starter in it. Something went wrong and the repair was gonna cost more than the value so he got rid of it. Not really sure what it was though.

Thanks! My 2005 with 230,000 miles is making some timing chain noise. Sounds like the tensioner needs to be replaced. Engine light is on and codes match the issues you pointed out about the charcoal canister and filter. Thanks for helping me keep this wonderful car running for a few more years!!!

Wait until the odometer hits 299,999
Anthony's Corollas like you got people trying to sell the old garbage I would not buy one unless it has plenty of power clean what inside inside the engine clean and under 200,000 miles and I prefer the 08 and the other one I ever seen his garbage only assholes that used to buy an unreliable s*** fix a great cause this s*** if everybody maintained them every 3,000 Mi oil change they'll all be great but nobody does that that's why they're f****** garbage and the other problem is people ask too much money for them and they drive and smelling sound like s***
I have a 03, 05 and an 06, corolla and it's never given me any problems. I only had to change ignition coils once. It's the best car ever made.
Same here only one time the coil but now the clock radio lights up just the clock but car has not given problems.
I have an 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,010,011,012,013,014,015,016,017,018,019,020 and a 2026
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
Mine is a 2004, and the odometer maxed out at 299,990. That was 8 years ago. Never had a problem with it and it still runs great.
Wow, that’s awesome, my 2004 has 190k, gives me hope that she’ll be around for awhile longer
@@TruthLove333 Reports from DIYs in Panama say the 9th Gens are good for 600K miles with backyard maintenance.
that's a common problem but usually at 299,999. Toyota know's about it but won't recall.
I had the same problem with my '03 Corolla. Toyota Canada was willing to give the part but labour cost was about $700.
Sad that it stopped keeping track. Does the maintenance light for oil changes still come on at the 5,000 mile interval?

Quit at 299999...I was so bummed. @@DefiantMotoClinic
What a beast of a car!
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.
2008 w/ 225,000 miles. Starts perfectly, doesn't burn a drop of oil and still gets 35 mpg. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
What mods did you do to get this mpg? I drive 22 miles per day 5 days a week. $40 usd will get me almost 4 weeks right now. This car runs just with the smell of gasoline lol I love this car
How often do you change the oil in it let me know specifically and what are you supposed to do right now I am looking for an 08 Corolla only that year with maintenance if you take the oil cap off the engine and look inside the engine is a full Brown s*** or the clean like nope take a picture like to see it
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.
@@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.
@@Dieselx4No mods. All stock. Full synthetic oil. Manual trans.

Yep, that one
my 04 corolla le started to leak oil from the timing chain tensioner at 90k km in 2021. I noticed it started to hate going up hills that it used to climb without a problem and during my oil change at 90k I saw that my power steering pump was coated in fresh oil and I changed the o ring gasket and it has stopped leaking since. otherwise absolutely solid and I can't complain
Yeah cuz it's a piece of garbage it was so great that's that's garbage buddy the only good one was in 2008
I was surprised there was not mention of exhuast manifold cracking and leaking exhaust. This seems to a very common problem with this generation.
I have an 03 Corolla with 298 thousand miles. Starts and runs like a dream. Nothing wrong. I do all the work and maintenance myself. It doesn't take much. Very reliable vehicle. But now they are very expensive and hard to find a good deal. Cus people have taken notice how good they are.
Thanks for Sharing This Video!! I Recently Had A Problem With My 9th gen Corolla The Check Engine light Came On And I Found Out it Was A Loose Gas Cap. Did A EVAP Test And Found Out That's Why.
You are totally right 👍🏼 I have a 2007 with 287000 miles and I got all this issues + intake manifold gasket leaked but to be honest it is a very strong car I never thought it will keep driving all this years plus it never died on the road never if there’s an issue it pops up a check engine light 💡, I got another car and I parked the Corolla in the driveway for 14 months without cover and one day decided to fix it cuz had many memories with it then I jumped the battery and it runs 😅took it for a ride then changed oil + filter and that’s it still hits the road
another common problem i found put is Rust it happens near the end of the rocker panel next to the rear wheel.
+howtobebasic 2 Thanks for the feedback!
I pried the lower plastic up and out both front n back at the lower door jabs and liberally spayed oil in it ... NO RUST ! Any thing melted vaseline, hell... break or tranny fluid . Mine is an 07 I give it a drink every other yr. The use SAILT her in NC.

I own an 06 Corolla. The clock looks like I need to re-flow the solder. Works sometimes, is dim at others. It still blows cold AC in Las Vegas after 15 years. Also, Its a stick shift and I need to rev-match when down-shifting into 3rd gear.Works fine when shifting up. Weird issue that I have just learned to live with.
Wow this mechanic is prob the most articulate and smartest on YT. The Corolla at high mileage def has Vapor Lock. I wil look into this. Thx So Much🙏
As someone who bought a 2005 Corolla from the dealership and still use it to this day over 200k and it works like brand new ! Super clean ! Never ran into any of these issues other then the headlights .
2004 from dealership also. Super clean also. Replaced both headlights after ordering new ones on Amazon, very cheap about $80 I believe 4 or 5 years ago. The odometer is at 88K. Only drive 1,600 miles a year. Retired, 70 yrs old. This comment section has me convinced the Corolla LE will out live me!
Nice and detailed. The only bonus would be to hear the actual noises associated with all common
symptoms.
Thanks for watching!
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. ^_^
I have a 05 corolla, bought used from a doctor 6 years ago and still rocking like new, it's being repair a few times but nothing crazy, the starter was fix one time (not replace it), the radiator fan and one engine mount, nothing else

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.
I use metal polish on my headlights, works great and makes it nice and clear for a year or two. No big deal!
I owned a Corolla S 03, my very first car. I bought with 175k miles when I was in high school, 5 years later I sold it with 245k miles. Never let me down, only issues I had was the radiator, water pump and thermostat but other than that never had big issues. I drove that beater from Georgia all the way to Maryland, drove back. I regret selling it now that gas prices are mess up.
I had a 2005 - never had any problems other than changing the battery and brake pads. I sold it cause I had 2 other vehicles. These Corollas are bullet proof if you maintain them. ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR OIL EVERY 5000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL + SPECIAL OIL FILTER and it will run forever.

I had a belt tensioner replacement (bolt breaking). 2006 Corolla at 130,000 miles, currently at 189,000. 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. One problem right headlight wiring short, burned around my socket and bulb plus wearing out the battery. Partial wiring change with socket. (I'm really happy that I bought a car with a timing chain.)

I own this car. Nothing will ever go wrong. Good vibes.
2005 Here... 430-440k miles (odometer maxed out at 300k many years ago)... Drives great. Only problem is a few EVAP codes.
Is that it?? No starter problems?
Inside door handles. AC relays. Alternators. Ignition coils/connectors. Valve cover gaskets. That’s what I see mostly on them. Also evap codes, purge and vent solenoids, radiators, axle bearings, axles, O2 sensors, etc....
I would say the most common problem is the serpentine belt tensioner. Easy fix, usually at about 150k. My 2006 is still running strong at 415000 miles.
Agreed
Thank you , just bought a 03 corrola and w breaks are fighting me , I'm definitely going to check if I need to replace the master cylinder or push rod.
I have been working on cars for 10 years, went to Toyota TTen school, worked for Toyota/Lexus for half of those years, and I have never seen a Master Cylinder go bad on one of these. A much more prominent problem on these would be the intake plenum gasket/MAP sensors causing a rough idle and lean code first thing on a cold morning.

Diff gen Corolla- 1998 Corolla, swapped out a bad master cyl but not til 207k miles with a Aisin brand master cyl. Now at 284k miles and all good.
I have a 2006 corolla, and I drove for a year and half with the code P0171. I replaced the Mass air sensor, but it didn't work. I assume that is due to manifold gasket. Is that ok still driving it without fixing it if I want run another 100k miles?
350K miles on my 04 Corolla and never had an issue with the master cylinder. Starter makes the whine, but that's been happening for years and still starts every time with no other issues. Rock solid cars that I highly recommend to anyone who wants a super rel8able vehicle.

400K miles and still not burning oil, no master cylinder problems, no major issues. Replaced the timing chain tensioner multiple times, replaced valve cover gasket, etc. Normal older engine maintenance. 20 yr old car. Got my money out of her, and now every mile is just icing on the cake.
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

@@Citrussun755 with the AC button on does the AC compressor clutch spin? If yours is a AC clutch like mine the part is only like $45 on Amazon. It's easy to replace, think somebody would do it for $100 or you could do yourself if you have tools / mechanical skill.
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.
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
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
07 has the best seats of any car i've ever ridden in
Very elaborate. This really helps. I love old cars.
The cloudy headlights can be refinished with a Meguiars kit but it only lasts about a year. The next time I refinished, I applied 3M clear bra urathane film. It's now been three years and still looks good.
199k miles on original atf and spark plugs.. still starts and runs perfectly :)
Time for service and replacement.
07 S here & I would say after you said the problems with the master cylinder that literally sounds like my car. I also have to change the struts/shocks. One more problem I have is the overdrive, it doesn’t switch smoothly.
Love my 2005 corolla! I've only had it 4-5 months now but it's been great.

In December I had to replace my 1990 Volvo 240 wagon with 400,000 miles on the clock. My late mother's last car. Her next door neighbour had to stop driving, so i bought her car. Yoda is a 2004 with 100,000 miles on the clock. Had to change the catalytic converter because it started leaking. I also had to di front wheel bearings. That was a job and a half. Certainly not a do it yourself. Luckily I have a friend with a full machine shop. I put a set of Nokian Haakappilliitta R5 winter tires on. I do not like the front wheel drive in the snow at all, and im not crazy about it in the rain, either. I used to bigger, heavier, rear wheel drive, and that is my preference. Still, Yoda is doing the job. I do enjoy it over all. A little more room would be nice, though.

THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO AND HOW YOU SPECIFICATE ABOUT EACH PART AND WHAT PROBLES CANT RESOLVED TO ANY CAR
Thanks dude.... this is super awesome to know (and be prepared for) the typical problems with my (18 year old - 150K miles) 9th Generation Corolla. My car has a rattling startup that make a noise when I decelerate to/accelerate from a stop, and it typically goes away approximately 3 minutes later after engine warms up. Any ideas? Could it be that clogged screen to the VVTI you mentioned?
Dude that's the way that car is no matter what you do they do that when they're brand new they just get worse and worse noisy f****** Moda
I guess I'm lucky. I inherited my mother's 2003 Corolla, I've had none of these issues and known the car since new, but then again it only has 78,000 miles (125,000 km). But, now I know what to watch for. Just waiting for my odometer to get stuck at 299,999. I had my headlights restored a few years ago, still look like new. The 9th gen Corolla model years in the US and Canada were 2003-2008. And of course, the Corolla in the video looks stunning in grandma beige.

Almost at 190k on my 06 corolla LE only thing, bought it with 168k miles, only thing I changed is a starter and battery
You never talked about the odometer stopping at 300k
Right😓
I have a 08 corolla. Mine rolled to 299,999 5 years ago and is still going strong. Besides the normal ongoing maintenance issues like pads, rotors, etc.. the corollas have an issue with the rear trunk latch assemblies. I have put 2 in mine so far.
Rev up ur corolla!!!!

Something that was missed on this video was the P0171 running lean engine code. Usually what causes this is the intake manifold gasket has dry rotted. This is a notable problem on the early 2000s Corolla.
