So, with this in mind we have found a supplier that can provide a new A\C compressor, but need advice as to whether we need to purchase other parts of the A\C system also?

I have heard that the Dryer will need replacing alongside a new compressor, as the old unit may contain contaminants that will reduce the lifespan of the new compressor.

I'm not sure if this is a...

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand. In 2016, I did a private import of a new Copen Robe - LA400K. It has CVT.
Today, I went to do an engine oil change. By mistake, I drained the CVT fluid. So, I now need to replace the CVT fluid.
I can get the appropriate fluid. Toyota CVT FE is specified but Penrite CVT low viscosity appears to be an equivalent and is used by Toyota dealers.
My problem is that I do not know where the filler is. I have the handbook but, as...

Hi Everyone

I have obtained 3L of Castrol Syntrans 75W90 gearbox oil. I was hoping to find a guide for doing a gearbox oil change for the turbo version of the Copen, but all I can see are the instructions for the 1.3 version.

Have anyone done this as a DIY job? What issues did you find getting it done?




Thanks

We have a 2008 1.3 Copen that has a faulty a/c compressor.
Bit of a long story, but basically this is a replacement one sourced and was running for about a month before it started to sound very noisy when running. Turns out we think the internal bearing collapsed possibly due to an overtight belt. It no longer runs at all.

So, we can either send our faulty unit to a company that will refurb it and guarantee it for 2 years, but that means taking out the compressor and have the car...

But now the front is about 2 inches too high and the suspension is very stiff.

these springs look correct when compared to second hand copen springs (6 turn about the right length). But the ones taken off were only 4 coils.

as this is first copen, a couple of questions. How much of a gap should I see between front wheel and wheel arch?

How stiff should the front be please?...

METHOD 1 - Minor Adjustment at the Catch Mechanism.
The turning of the extension rod method is for Fine tuning only as contributed by one of the members.

METHOD 2 - Major Adjustment at the Rear Wind screen Arm.
1) The roof is made of of 2 pieces, top and back (Windscreen)
2) open your roof half way so that it look like number "7" from the side.
3) Remove the plastic inner panel from the rear windscreen, Top, Left & Right. they snap off...

My beloved silver Copen's boot is neither fully shut, or open. I closed in the other day, with the cover in place in side and nothing in the small boot area. It didn't make that motorised whine and clunk noise, and now won't open or close fully if I push it. The small strips of the boot lid that meets the car are not quite in line. I have tried re-popping the boot via the remote and with the little button, and once it made the noise to say the boot is open, with no clunk though, so I...
