Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone can help. Im on my second 120. First one was an 05 Grande V6 and sold it with 226km (regrettably), I now have a 2008 GXL V6 with 250kms.
I just noticed today that when I drive around normally, it sounds like the sound of the engine is directly filtering into the cabin. Its almost like a grommet was not replaced or something. Its not muted like my old prado was. Its hard to explain. Its not loud or anything, its just like there is something open between the firewall and its coming into the cabin.
Secondly, the engine idles beautifully and doesnt stutter or cough, however when I drive around normally also, it feels harsh. Its like an engine mount is gone. That mildly vibey, buzzing feel. Its not bad, but noticeable. Again, in comparison to my old 120. I discounted the engine mounts because it idles so nicely and revs out great also. I also checked the tranny mounts and they are fine.
Anyone have an idea of where I can start looking?
