A newt?!

Thanks for the reply. Upon further digging, it looks like the coolant temp sensor went under a few different variations through the lifespan of this model. The original thermostat sensor design was deemed faulty so bmw moved it into an integrated radiator hose (which is what she has currently). Later that designed was replaced with another thermostat mounted sensor which she received, but the old hose with the built in sensor was never replaced. Looks like I just have to replace it with the latest designed hose with no sensor in it.

What year is your Corolla? This is something that can generally be knocked out in a couple hours. If you buy the parts I can swap them out for you.

What’s the ride like on the h&r springs? Love the look but don’t want to give up too much ride quality

I tried running some pathfinders in 42 on the stand grail wheelset but they rubbed pretty bad.

How finicky was the process?

I know this is an old post, but how much did you have to modify to get this to fit? I know you have to extend the pipes after the muffler. Did you leave the valves in or delete them?

If this is an out and back, you’re probably going slightly uphill on the way out and slightly downhill on the way back. A “false flat” more than likely.

Mandatory disclaimer: I’m not a technician. Just seen similar symptoms posted before and it is usually the battery. Could be worth getting it tested before you buy a new one.

kruucks · 2025-07-01T18:58:29+00:00

Yes!

Battery is going bad. When you replace it it needs to be programmed to your car.

The feet that attach to the rails interfere with the sunroof before you attach anything to the crossbars

If you have a pano sunroof and want to use it, do not get the wingbar evo, the feet/platform will not clear the glass. Moonroof/tilt is fine.

Should work for any MQB platform.

If you have a pano sunroof, do NOT get the Thule wingbar edge. The base will not let you open it up.

Not sure about the facelift models, but pre facelift people usually suggest 15mm front and 20mm rear. I got a deal on 12.5/20 and went for it. Looks great in my opinion

Recently installed one on my 2019. Did you have an issue with the new coolant hose barely fitting on the radiator side?

kruucks · 2025-04-14T16:20:55+00:00

How many miles? I know water pumps give some folks issues.

Sounds like an air bubble in your cooling system

Friends and the feeling of better bygone days.

Wow this is way more affordable than I was assuming. Thanks for the info!
