Toyota vs Landrovers

 

...One life, don't waste it fixing landrovers.


"As a 25 year veteran of series landrover ownership I can categorically say having a Landrover taught me so much about mechanics that I would never of learned owning a Toyota." - Skelly Skelton

Windshield wipers, rubber refills that might fit Toyota Previa

 Video show how I did, and then more options below.



--------------------  -----------

Maybe you can find: Genuine Toyota (85221-YZZB3-TM) Wiper Blade Refill

Brand: Toyota


Otherwise check out diffrent alternatives down below. I tell you what I did.








Original is 28" long

But has spray bar which makes it a bit harder because of washer nozzle and hoses.

Anco W28R work on 95's...I don't remember if there is a difference between them and earlier models so you may have to research that aspect...

"They are 28 " long and 8 mm wide. The NAPA part number is 6-2800. They aren't easy to replace.
The other thing I have done in the past when I could not find a 28" blade is use two 14" blades or a 13" and a 15". It's not ideal but it works when you have to do it. Better than nothing or using totally worn out wiper blades.
Waxing the windshield or using Rain-X also helps a lot."

Use W40 or PTFE or something that makes it slide in easier.

What did I do?

Replace coolant in Toyota Previa, video

Replace coolant in Toyota Previa including drain plug locations

Put in 4 liters of Biltema Longlife (Etylen) and 4 liters of desalted and oxygenfree water. Which equal 8 liters.

8 liters was about as much as I got out of it also.

You have to remove the shield sourounding the oilpan. It also helps to remove the shield so get access to the oilfilter. Atleast if you have some bad bults in the oilpan shield.

There are 2 drain plugs. 1 under the front cooler and 1 on the engine, besides the oilpan. Behind the oilfilter, looking from the front.

See video below how I did it, for more info.
