Toyota Tarago Questions & Answers (page 2 of 3)

We had a 2.4 and never got better than 9.5L to 100ks on the highway. Will last for ever. We now have a 3.5 which uses about 1 liter more per 100ks. But it goes like stink. By the way...a lot of people say the 3.5 needs premium fuel. This is nonsense. You can use e10,normal,premium or BP ultimate. The e10 and the standard fuel makes it stink under hard throttle. Which is good if you have just been stuck behind some fool going slow.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that model Tarago - I don't know the answer to your question: but in Australia I think most cars now have a yellow coloured grip at the engine oil dipstick: Cheers

Probably depends if there was a model change between those years - suggest you contact a local panel beater they should know or at least find out. Cheers

Hi Dan c : I'm not sure where the anchor points are in a 2001 model Tarago but in the 8 seater 2012 GLX model I purchased second hand the manufacturer provided anchor points to my knowledge are located in the lower back of the middle row. I don't actually use this vehicle but it was purchased for another family member to drive and they needed extra anchor points in the rear row and these were retro fitted by a certified installer. Not sure if this answers your question. Cheers.

I can’t help on the 2001 either, mine is a 2014 and as the previous reply states the 3 points are at the lower middle on the back of the middle row. I have no points for the back row as they are tumble seats and would not be suitable for that use to my knowledge. Looking at photos of a 2001, you have way more space then I do in the 2014!! But I’d say you would need to have points installed probably on the roof if you wish to fit anchild seat on your back row.

On the back of the middle row seats, near where the fabric changes to carpet. If they aren't already there, you may have to pick up some from Supercheap/Big W and they will screw right in.

Hard question to answer as there are so many technical factors including the style of driving. I recommend that you take the vehicle for a service at a trusted mechanic, if you are not overly technical as doing things wrong could end up coasting you more.

Here is a list of items that typically cause poor fuel consumption in any car:
- Incorrect tire pressures
- Missed oil and oil filter changes, causing sludge and poor lubrication
- Bad wheel alignment
- Sticking brakes (brakes needing a service)
- Old/clogged air filter
- Worn spark plugs
- Dirty airflow meter (if you vehicle is equipped with one)
- Worn/dirty O2 sensor/s

I recommend that you go please see a mechanic - as there are too many factors. Oil consumption can indicate wrong weight/type of oil, neglect (not changing oil on time), engine wear, engine design flaw, oil leaks, some engines by design small oil consumption is normal.

Should b big metal filter under floor just behind passenger front door silver metal cilender on the outside edge of floor behind the sil good luck

thanks

Unfortunately not. The mounts are completely different. If wanting to change front seats, try and measure the rails and see if you can take the rails off your current seats and fit them to your new seats. Good luck.

I never leave my car to low petrol but I think last tme I left it near (a long time ago) I put 58 litres of petrol.

Hi my Tarago 07 model have same problem, i just spray wd40 on the door bearings anchor and it works fine for few months.

Yup, my 2015 model does the same thing. Using WD40, which helps a little, but, thankfully, it is still under warranty, so it will need to be sorted!

Vacuum door track at the bottom (stones have done this to ours before. We own theee Tarago’s).
Check door runner for bend in the track (the runner below the side windows) & also that the door slider part behind the slide door itself, isn’t bent out of shape.

Bashar,
It depends which model you have. The more basic models only have actual air-conditioning in the front. The rear outlets are only serviced by fans. If you have people in the rear, best thing to do is put aircon on lowest temp & max fan. Direct your front vents to the roof ... cold air will quickly transfer to the rear seated passengers. Higher level models have two separate air conditioners. one for rear as well. I have always coped well with the single unit - using the rear fans to circulate the cool air.

I have a 2007 Tarago Gli and all 4 rear air vents work including with the air conditioning switched on. It gets too cold sometimes so I've modified a temperature adjustment knob for the rear. I unfortunately didn't get a GLX model which would have included heating for the rear vents too. We make do though by venting the heating to the feet which at least goes to the middle row. Heating travels more readily to the rear of the van so not such a big loss.

Actually it also happened to my wife's Tarago Ultima V6. Felt like the transmission loss traction and went into neutral temporarily... Not a good sign.

Was your wife's Tarago able to be fixed?

what are the car mileage ? over 300K and an increase of power during the uphill drive?

Where is your spare in the GLI because the GLX spare is in boot and seats have to be tilted up to extract the spare.

Yes. You can change the seat from two to a three seater. Buy second hand seats from a wrecker, change the seats and have it registered with the RMS .

It would fit but the seat belts on the bench seat for the outer 2 sides will not have a seat belts! As the captain chairs have the belts built into the seat the beach seat outer belts are built into the pillar.
