Problems with the start-stop system in a Toyota Yaris (2011, gasoline engine): High fuel consumption, warning light and flickering lights

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2009 Toyota Corolla. I'm not a car expert, but I do have a bit of an idea. Your symptoms in my car were due to a faulty control unit. I had it checked and replaced at the garage, which cost me around 1000 euros. Maybe it should be the control unit in your case too. However, it would be helpful if you could give me more details about your car so that I can better assess the whole thing and give you more specific tips. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the answer! My Yaris now has 183157 km on the clock and was last serviced about six months ago. That sounds like an expensive repair with the faulty control unit, but if it helps, then it's probably worth it. I'll take your tip into consideration and have it checked at the garage. Thanks again!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for! With the mileage of your Yaris, it is quite possible that the control unit has actually given up the ghost. Of course, there could always be something else behind it, an expert in the workshop can determine this more precisely, but the year of manufacture and mileage already point to this. The repair on my Corolla really did cost around 1000 euros, but it was worth every penny - it has been running like clockwork ever since. And remember, an early repair can often prevent more expensive consequential damage. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes. We'll keep our fingers crossed that it's nothing too serious!

Hello, thank you for taking the time to reply! It's a bit reassuring to hear that your car is running well again after the repair. I will take your advice and get the car into the garage as soon as possible before things get worse. I really hope it's nothing serious. I'll get back to you as soon as I have any news. Thanks again for your help!

Toyota yaris gasoline 2009, no longer has compression on 2 pistons, what do I do, is it worth repairing or how to get it because it is not functional, thanks

(Translated from Romanian)

Hi Rossy, lack of compression in two pistons is a serious issue and could be due to a number of reasons such as worn piston rings, damaged cylinder walls, or a blown head gasket. It's hard to say if it's worth repairing without knowing the overall condition of the car and the cost of the repair. I'd recommend having a mechanic inspect the vehicle to determine the exact cause and potential repair costs. This will help you make an informed decision on whether to repair or replace the vehicle. Please keep us updated on your situation.

I have a problem with the automatic high beam start. They come on as soon as I move into the shade. Is there a way to adjust them? Thanks for your help.

(Translated from French)

Check if your vehicle's automatic high beam sensitivity settings can be adjusted through the car's settings menu or the owner's manual. If not, it might require a visit to the dealership or a professional mechanic to recalibrate the system. Let me know if you need further assistance!
