I’ve ripped the stitch on the leather driver’s seat of our 2016 XLE. I believe the culprit was a zippered wallet pocket on my snazzy Costco cargo shorts… I had a local place quote us $125 to re-stitch it after he inspected it. He confirmed the leather has no tears and it was just a thread...

Hi everyone. I've tried searching the forum I've tried google, either the answer doesn't exist or I'm not smart enough to ask the right question. I hope the latter. I have a 2011 XLE FWD 8 passenger I would like to replace the rear coils springs. The van a a bit of rear sag when unloaded...

So July started with me blowing up the engine in my van, a 2000 AWD Safari that I had built out into camper five years ago. At the time it was my only vehicle AND my only home! I was suddenly car-less and homeless. Bummer! The hits just keep coming in 2020 don't they? The old setup: I'm a...

New member here. I just purchased a 2015 Sienna SE, however my question is about a 1st gen 2002 XLE that I'm getting ready to sell. Mechanic says that the ABS ECU Module is bad based on the codes run, and wants $700 to swap it out with a rebuilt one. Repair services are readily available for...

I got the code and was mentally preparing for a the catalytic converter replacement but I thought it would be worth it to try and change a few things out first. At first I was going to replace the oxygen sensors but they were also pricey so with a little more youtube googling I found a video...

I had wanted to do this two years ago but it looked like more of a hassle than it was worth. But now I see threads talking about leaking PS racks and thats all it took to get me started. So this isn't rocket science but neither was it a cut an splice easy install. A little background. If you...

Our 2015 Base L Sienna does not come with the HomeLink like our XLE does. I am not a fan of clipping the garage door remote on the visor, so I decided to do my own DIY "HomeLink". Parts cost me $4.79 for the momentary switch from Radio shack. I already had the wire and solder tools. Just...

After contemplating to keep the Toyota Entune Navi or replace it with an aftermarket system I decided on the former and integrated the XMSirius tuner. This should have been a standard feature but Toyota cheaped out. This is a simple plug-n-play with an aftermarket tuner kit. Time wise, took me...

When one reads spark plug reviews, people say the engine runs better with new plugs. While some of that could be due to better gap in new plugs, I'm afraid some of that is placebo, like better running engine after oil change. Now, I understand that one can measure firing voltage via...
