Free Car Repair And Service Manual

Continuing the tradition of the ‘World’s best-selling car’, the range of Corolla models covered by this manual offers a wide range of body styles and engines, with the emphasis on proven, solid engineering, further reinforcing Toyota’s deserved reputation for outstanding reliability.
Introduced in June 1997, the Corolla was available as a 3-door Hatchback, 5-door Liftback, 4-door Saloon and a 5-door Estate, with a 5-door Hatchback version introduced in October 1998. In October 1999, the range underwent a facelift, with cosmetic revisions to the front bumper, headlights, bonnet and front grille. To coincide with the facelift, a new range of petrol engines, with variable intake camshaft timing, was introduced, replacing the existing units. The petrol engines are all fuel injected, in-line, four-cylinder units of 1332 cc, 1398 cc, 1587 cc door Hatchback or 1598 cc displacement with double overhead camshaft and 16 valves. All engines are normally aspirated, with the 1.4 litre and 1.6 litre VVT-i engines (October 1999-on), incorporating an hydraulically controlled mechanism on the intake camshaft which varies the valve timing. This facility improves the driveability, efficiency and emissions of the engines. All engines feature a comprehensive engine management system with extensive emission control equipment. Although two diesel engines were available, neither are covered in this manual. This manual contains the information about Wiring diagrams, Brakes and suspension, Transmission, Engine and associated systems, and much more. Models covered : Saloon, Hatchback, Liftback & Estate, including special/limited editions 1.3 litre (1332cc), 1.4 litre (1398cc) & 1.6 litre (1587cc & 1598cc) petrol. Total : 277 Pages provided by Haynes Service and Repair Manual Series.

The Romanian designer Andrei Avarvarii, well-known for its both interesting and intriguing car renderings, has recently come up with a computer-generated image of how he imagined the future SL-Klasse roadster would look like. Avarvarii combined styling lines from two different Mercedes-Benz models:

- the headlights from the very nonconformist F 700 concept;
- the radiator grille, the front air intake and the exterior mirrors from the new SLS AMG Gullwing.

The final result is, all in all, OK, although a bit awkward for a Merc. Forget about the Santa he put behind the wheel. It was a bad move...
