Just a general question for people who own celicas. What typically breaks on these cars (beside the wheel covers falling off/"borrowed")? Which of there items will make the car scrap? Thanks in advance

hey, all cars have problems, sometimes you will be lucky and other times you will be unlucky, Ok I've had my ST204 since about 175 000km and now it has 200 000km and things Ive had go wrong are...
Water pump and CV joints went around when I got the car, water pump should basically be replaced with timing belt anyway and CV joints go on all cars. automatic Aerial always break eventually in these cars. Ive had to replace the belt on the alternator/air con, a little valve from the injectors to the head snapped and I had an air leak, A radiator sensor snapped because of age. Developed a rear main oil seal leak as I changed to synthetic when the car was getting old which wasn't wise, but rear main oil seals always go on these cars. Motor mounts front and rear are gone. Throw out bearing is also another one that is famous on our cars and sometimes can make a lot of noise, no big problem just not a great sound. Shocks blew shortly after I got the car but that's 14 years on them. Interior wise I had a bit of sun damage on the centre console and the side of the doors, the gear boot also was ripping. Sounds like many problems but just been fairly unlucky and the car has never not started, its always been able to run fine with these problems. |
