    I just changed the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for the first time. I got this 2004 Sienna LE 2 years ago with 50k miles and faithfully change the oil every 4k with Mobil 1. Today, the Sienna has 76k miles and runs flawlessly every time I go to drive it. The attachment with the...

    Hi, I have a 2002 XLE Sienna, and after changing the timing belt I noticed that there doesn't seem to be much high end power, like trying to pass on the freeway. I did notice that I had a hard time getting the teeth to line up on the crank sprocket when the marks were lined up, so I rotated the...

    I have a 2006 Toyota Seinna I bought new. I have had all service. It has 148,000 miles. The right front tire area started making a loud noise when you hit a bump. I took it to Toyota. They replaced struts and rear shocks cost over $1,000 but did not fix the problem. Any suggestions. The front...

    I have dealt with the local dealer both for the purchase and all services on my Sienna 2005 xle. I have relied in the service advisors and followed their recommendations trustingly. At 60,000 miles in 2010, they replaced the timing belt and all that went with it. Water pump, belts seals...

    The manual says to use Dexron 3 transmission fluid , the cap says Dexron type. My auto store had "steering pump" fluid on sale . I opted for the transmission fluid which raises the question for me. Is the steering pump fluid similar to the transmission fluid? It took me just about a quart to do...

    I have a us spec 2012 limited that I'm planning on taking with me overseas permanently so I would need to have all displays including the speedo, odo, and temps changed to metric along with the dvd player from region 1 to possibly 0. Does anyone know where such a job can be done? My local...

    I just changed the coolant in my 2007 Sienna and it was pretty simple. While at it I also changed the thermostat/gasket and the serpentine belt. You can't change the thermostat without taking off the belt and one of the pulley which is in the way. The neat thing in the Sienna is that there is a...

    Hi, I got the oil changed on my 2004 Sienna CE last week (Mr. Lube) and the guy said that I'm due for a radiator fluid change (I'm at a little over 160,000 km). He showed me a container with the fluid in it and said that the gauge is reading 50 for acid content and that it should be no more...
  13. Problems & Issues
    hey guys, when i first bought the Sienna (2012 LE), every fill-up used to show a distance-to-empty (DTE) at 400+ miles. Six months after I bought it i added some front/rear guards which added weight. The DTE started showing 350-370 miles after that. Forward to these past two months...

    These are my notes for changing the 3 rear spark plugs on the 2004 Toyota Sienna. The approach that I took to create access to the rear plugs was to remove the air filter top and the throttle body which are connected together by short lengths of "fan-folded" rubber air channels. Having completed...

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change how the key FOB door lock operation works? On my 2008 Sienna XLE, all of the doors have to be shut before you can initiate the door lock using the key FOB.
