I have no prior experience with this work, but I recall reading that entry is only possible through the wheel well on models from 2012 onwards.

They merely detached a sensor and a bracket securing the cable harness, without removing the manifold. Appears to be uncomplicated? Utilising the appropriate socket length and extension, etc. It may be possible to accomplish this without removing anything except for the hose and the valve. However, the visibility is suboptimal, and you will likely need to do a laborious process initially, subsequently determining the appropriate socket, ratchet, and extension combination to remove it without disassembling more components, hence facilitating a more efficient method for future attempts.

To access the 2.5 L engine in this vehicle, it is necessary to remove the intake manifold. Is this task challenging for this vehicle? Utilise a 19 mm deep socket to remove it. It may be feasible to detach it using unconventional tools, but I am uncertain. The 2.4 L engine of this vehicle, likely the 2AZ-FE or a comparable model, is readily accessible. I believe you possess the 2.5 L. Is the removal of the intake manifold on the 2.5 L challenging?

Does your 2010 model have the 2.5 L or the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine?

Remove

That is simple, provided it is not jammed shut or failing to open fully. If it is jammed shut, obstructed, or not fully opening, it would be futile.

I recently discovered that someone else reported the identical issue almost one year ago. I do not remember who initiated the discussion or the precise subject line, but the final contributor proposed incorporating an inline PCV while retaining the existing one. I seek further information regarding this matter. Advantages and disadvantages

In many states, it is illegal to sell used cars with specific defects. Upon identifying the issue, I would recommend contacting your Attorney General.

It appears that I was meant to introduce myself in the initial post. It is hoped that the moderator can relocate it to a more visible position.

Purchased this for my son under a month ago. I already regret the purchase. Acquired from a guy who purchases and sells secondhand automobiles. Acquired on October 1st. Immediately replaced the oil due to its little contamination and excess volume.Within two weeks, we added 1.5 quarts. Recognising the issue, he is currently operating my vehicle while I determine the appropriate course of action. I purchased a new OEM PCV valve and hose after observing YouTube videos demonstrating the replacement process without removing the intake manifold. It appears that I must remove the manifold from the vehicle, as it is situated behind it, unlike the newer and previous versions. What a significant inconvenience! Do you have any suggestions? I have included two images to illustrate my circumstances. The subsequent models featuring the 2.5L engine are significantly more accessible. The entrance is indicated by the arrow on the right.

The 12-volt battery is a disposable component; when it ultimately fails, it may be easily replaced.

Indeed, the vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel. We are thoroughly enjoying the vehicle. We hope to avoid the undesirable battery problems.

A late first-generation Excel is a reasonable option; however, does it still include the heated steering wheel, given that the Excel specification lost this feature during the production phase-out period?

Greetings, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, it is a late-generation one. I conducted a test drive of a new Generation 2, 24-plate Icon. We were impressed; nonetheless, it was at the upper limit of our budget. I enquired with the salesperson whether it was equipped with both front and back sensors, to which he affirmed positively. We stated that we would contemplate it. After reviewing the specifications, we contacted the salesperson to enquire once more about the sensors. He was resolute that the car was equipped with the sensors. We presumed they had been included as an addition. We proceeded to register. Upon our arrival, we requested him to reverse the vehicle to demonstrate the use of the sensors. Speculate over the matter. Absence of auditory signals or alerts. We refrained from speaking to him. We abandoned him in the vehicle. Departed from the dealership

It is suggested that it may be a late Generation 1; however, sharing an image of yours might assist others with any enquiries you may have. However, I am confident that you can distinguish between Generation 1 and Generation 2. Merely based on the body style alone. Generation 1

Decline, I have no knowledge regarding the matter. I assume the wife would require her own. My Toyota account is also connected to the vehicle. I have not attempted it, so it may be prudent to await a response from someone who has succeeded.

Thank you for your prompt response. I can cease my concerns over the absent features that were unnecessary in the first place, amusingly. Yes, I have linked my phone to my profile. I believe linking to the key would be more advantageous for when my wife drives it to work. It thereafter appears in guest mode. Is it possible to associate her phone with my profile to prevent it from defaulting to guest mode while just my wife is in the vehicle?

It is likely a late first-generation C-HR rather than an early second-generation model. The 1st Generation C-HR lacks capability for remote climate control and the ability to associate the profile with the smart key fob. Your profile can be connected to your smartphone using the My Toyota account/app.

Greetings, everyone. First inquiry. I anticipated the presence of remote climate control on the Toyota app; nevertheless, it is absent. Ought it to be? I also considered linking my profile to the smart key fob. Once more, I am unable to locate that on the MMU. Any feedback would be valued.

It is wonderful to receive your communication.

Unfortunately, it seems that all dealerships believe they are offering you a service.

Regrettably, it appears that all dealerships operate under the impression that they are providing a service to you.

Maintain distance. Recently purchased a 2026 model. Preferred 3.3L, 500 miles at dealership with differential leak. Purchased it at Smithhaven Mazda on Long Island. The service attendant behaved as though she were doing a favour by addressing the issue. Mazda produced a BMW.

Long Island, New York. I required a three-row vehicle to transport my grandchildren on weekends, although I was reluctant to compromise my principles by acquiring a minivan. I examined competitors in this segment and was particularly impressed by the design, engine, features, and pricing of the CX-90. As I would require the third row infrequently, I sought a vehicle that would be enjoyable to operate during the remainder of the time. I have desired one since its release, but I postponed my purchase until the faults were resolved, and Mazda has predominantly rectified them. I previously owned an Eddie Bauer Expedition, which I cherished; nevertheless, engine problems compelled me to dispose of it despite my diligent care and upkeep. Thus far, I am enamoured with this vehicle. Regarding the reviews who criticise the rear as bulbous, I assert that I have always appreciated women with curves.
