Shop OEM Toyota Corolla Parts at ToyotaPartsNow

The Toyota Corolla became popular in the automotive industry during its first launch in 1966 and reached 50 million unit sales across twelve generations. After its launch with a simple 1100 cc piston engine Toyota Corolla received the performance and efficiency improvements of the 1ZZ-FE engine during the late 1990s. The engine choices for the Corolla included gasoline alongside diesel and many of its variants utilized front-wheel drive but the AE85 and AE86 models delivered rear-wheel drive performance. The Corolla's transmission systems have evolved significantly, from the simple mechanical setups in earlier models to the advanced automatic and manual transmissions available today, with the introduction of CVT systems in later generations for improved fuel efficiency. The E90 generation received multiple upgrades when it launched in 1987 because its new aerodynamic appearance combined with all-wheel drive availability in certain models which expanded its situational capabilities. Since its inception Toyota set reliability as its primary goal alongside user-friendly maintenance thus genuine Toyota auto parts maintain peak performance and long-lasting operation. The components used for Toyota vehicles undergo stringent quality checks before final approval because they meet the manufacturer's precise specifications which enhances the Corolla's known reputation for long-lasting performance. Toyota's engineering greatness along with their commitment to developing dependable cars makes the Toyota Corolla stand as a symbol of their production excellence while adapting to present-day market needs.

Toyota Corolla Parts Questions & Answers

  • Q: How should the TPMS Sensor and transmitter be disposed of properly on Toyota Corolla?
    A: A proper way exists to discard the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter which operates using lithium batteries. The first step to dispose of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter involves using a screwdriver to detach its back cover. Use a screwdriver to disconnect the 2 terminals between the battery and base board while keeping in mind the silicone covering over the battery and base board.
  • Q: How to remove the water pump on Toyota Corolla?
    A: The first step for water pump removal is taking off the engine under cover RH unit. Next, drain the engine coolant. Perform the following sequence: remove fan and generator V belt and then take off generator assembly. Uninstall the water pump assembly after you detach its six bolts and extract the water pump. The last step happens when the technician removes the O-ring which exists on the timing chain cover.
  • Q: How to install the alternator assembly on Toyota Corolla?
    A: The generator assembly needs installation through two bolt attachments with Bolt A requiring 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf) torque and Bolt B needing 54 Nm (550 kgf-cm, 40 ft-lbf) torque. Begin by joining connector [B] then clamp the wire harness with component [C] followed by generator connector [D] attachment. When attaching the generator wire with the nut [E] continue until the torque reaches 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf). Installation of terminal cap No. 2 follows the previous step. Install the fan and generator V belt before covering the engine with the right-hand under cover. Finish the wiring process by torquing the negative battery terminal up to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf).
  • Q: How to install the timing chain on Toyota Corolla?
    A: Before installing the timing chain on the 1ZZ-FE engine technicians must set the No. 1 cylinder at TDC/compression by rotating camshafts with hexagonal wrenches until camshaft timing gears point marks match then using the crankshaft pulley bolt to position the timing gear key against the oil pump point mark. Insert the timing chain onto the crankshaft timing gear so that the yellow mark link rests at the timing mark position and install the crankshaft timing gear after using Special Service Tool 09223-22010. Install the chain on the camshaft timing gears keeping the yellow mark links directly above their corresponding timing marks. A bolt should fasten the chain tensioner slipper at 18.5 Nm (189 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf) while installing the crankshaft position sensor plate facing forward with the "F" mark exposed. A gentle application of multipurpose grease should be used to treat the lip of a new oil seal. Then position the timing chain cover on wooden blocks after placing the tool 09223-22010 to slowly tap the oil seal until it reaches the timing chain cover edge leaving the lip clear from any foreign objects. Install the 10 bolts and 2 nuts while torquing Bolt A and nut A to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) and Bolt B to 18.5 Nm (189 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). Remove any old packing material before applying a continuous bead of seal packing with a diameter between 3.5 to 4.5 mm. Fasten the stud bolt using tool "TORX" wrench socket (E8) at 9.5 Nm (97 kgf-cm, 84 in-lbf). Install the chain tensioner assembly with two 9.0 Nm tightened nuts keeping an eye on the O-ring to avoid twisting it while the tensioner receives engine oil on its O-ring which needs to be clean to begin with. While aligning the pulley set key with its key groove you should slide on the crankshaft pulley before torquing the crankshaft pulley bolt to 138 Nm (1,407 kgf-cm, 102 ft-lbf) using Special Service Tools: 09960-10010, 09962-01000, 09963-01000. To disconnect the plunger knock pin from its hook turn the crankshaft counterclockwise while clockwise motion pushes the slipper toward the plunger. The crankshaft position sensor needs a thin oil layer on its O-ring before assembly with 2 bolts reaching 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) torque specification and water pump mounting. Both the engine mounting bracket RH and V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly need these torque settings: bracket at 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf) and tensioner assembly with bolt secured at 69 Nm (704 kgf-cm, 51 ft-lbf) while using a nut torque of 29 Nm (296 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf). Place seal packing on designated locations of the cylinder head cover before installing it along with 3 clamp brackets and 9 bolts and 2 seal washers and 2 nuts. Torque Bolt A and nut A to 11 Nm (112 kgf-cm, 8 ft-lbf) and Bolt B to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). The wiring clamps need installation followed by ventilation hose connection before adding an ignition coil assembly which requires 4 bolts torqued to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) and an engine wire needs 2 nuts torqued to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). Fasten the engine mounting insulator RH through 4 bolts and 2 nuts while torquing them to 52 Nm (530 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf) together with the oil reservoir bracket No. 1 using 2 bolts torqued to 7.8 Nm (80 kgf-cm, 69 in-lbf). Reassemble the vane pump assembly with the generator unit before placing the fan alongside installing the generator V belt. Before continuing install the battery negative terminal with 5.4 Nm of torque (55 Kg-fcm, 48 in-lbf) while inspecting for both engine coolant and oil leaks. Then add engine coolant to the system. Install the front wheel RH while using 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) torque and cylinder head cover No. 2 with 2 clips and nuts that should be torqued to 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 62 in-lbf).
