Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. My skills are limited to single serpentine belts on larger engines - I have never changed multiple belts on smaller engines - your heads ups, tips, and warnings are fantastic... makes the belts swapping job I have to do on a 93 Corolla so much easier. Thanks again for your excellent video and narration.
You are a pure joy to listen to and watch. Spent my entire morning sipping coffee and watching this. You're a NATURAL, so thanks for your efforts. You've got a little humour too that makes this so much fun! Thank you wise young man!
finally! a good video of how to work in this engine! thank you! the only other alternative is that russian guy (who seems to know his stuff) but unfortunately i cant understand a single word of what he's saying. Make more for this engine please!
Thanks for taking the time in explaining all this. I just bought my second AE101 it’s been 10 years since I worked on one and this refreshed my memory! Got my subscription! 👍
Hey your videos about the 7th gen Corollas are awesome. I just purchased a 1996 Toyota Corolla DX auto. I appreciate your knowledge and skill on these cars. Peace and blessings 🙏
Thank you for the great guide man! Just've replaced all 3 drive belts on my 7th gen corolla after watching your vid. Now there're no weird sounds under the hood :)
Hey Auto fix..Man, after bumping into this Video.. safe to say am a complete fan now. And please do make more of them if you may!. So I was experiencing a squeaky noise from the engine of my 95 Corolla and after some investigation s, figured it was from the timing belt. So being a DIY I had to replace it and your video really helped me get the Job done. Thanks so very much really appreciate it!.
I'm glad the video helped! I'll try to make some more Corolla videos soon. I have a few others planned right now but this year I am determined to bring back the Corolla to the channel. It's been absent for a long time lol
Thank you so much for this video, helped me out so much working on my 6th gen Celica ST. Easy to follow steps and great tips made the job a lot easier than I thought, thank you!
Thank-you sooo much!!! I was trying to replace all my belts for my 2001 corolla ascent today. I couldn't determine how to loosen the power steering belt. Your video was great in explaining, you have to loosen both 14mm bolts. Great to have such a great video as you have made, to help others....A+++++
My Corolla ac idler pulley was so rusted my regular 14 mm offset wrench started roasting it! Had to put to work the 60$ snap-on 14mm line flarenut wrench and it came off well
@@AutoFixYT No problem, is there any chance of you doing a video on changing the timing belt and waterpump on this car (4AFE/7AFE)? I'm asking because it will be good to do them both at once since to do the water pump the timing belt needs to come-off.
@@kn520 I actually have already changed my timing belt and water pump a few years ago so mine is still good for a while, but when the time comes to change them again I will definitely make a video. It's actually not very difficult, I'd say the hardest part is getting the water pump hose off of the water pump, which is on the back of the block. And there is almost no room for your hands back there. I ended up cutting my hose. Otherwise it's very simple. And being non interference, if you mess up nothing bad happens. It just won't start or run very well.
@@AutoFixYT Thanks a lot for the response. I'll keep a look out for the video. There is a large scope and audience for videos on Toyota Corolla's the 4AFE and 7AFE because of the large fan base of these car models (being so common and popular), with surprisingly, a very few videos about them online so I can tell you for a fact there's millions of people out there looking for such resources online and it will be great for your channel. So keep up the good work and videos! Thanks again!
Finally got around to changing belts. Removing alternator and removing tire and dropping splash shield are great tips. Couldn't imagine doing it otherwise. Although starting bolt into block on tensioner was a pain. Great video and thanks.
@@richardswain537 I just looked. I don't think the water pump belt will be an issue. I do think the alternator belt is a problem. Power steering belt is closer to engine. I don't see a way to get power steering belt around alternator belt. Good luck 👍
The water pump on these is driven by the alternator belt. So you will need to take that off first in order to remove the PS belt. You don't need to remove it all the way but just take it off the water pump.
As someone who just used this, you do not need to lift the car to successfully complete the alternator belt if that’s all you’re doing. Just do the three bolts he showed for the alternator mounting, and it’ll go on and off like a piece of cake. I will say that if you’re using your standard set of tools 1/2, 3/8, and 9/16, you’re gonna want to go get the 12mm. For the front of the bracket (the bolt you have to “unlock”) it won’t take the 1/2 because it’s too big or the 7/16 cause it’s too small.
Agreed, for just the alternator belt you can do it easily from up top. And yes, I don't think many people nowadays have just standard tools, but if you do, a metric set is a must for any vehicle that is domestic and made past the 80s or so, since they all use metric now. Otherwise it's either not going to work or it will round off the fasteners.
you saved me from buying a new car. While I was driving two of my belts snapped and the power steering one got pretty mauled- I didn't notice my engine heating up and it caused my radiator to crack, if I didn't fix it myself my car was as good as totaled. I've had the car for a year or so and I'm guessing the guy before me didn't check his engine much either. Before it broke it was loud and noisy, but reliable so I thought it was just cause 'it's an old car'. Now it doesn't sound like hell when I turn it on :,D
Haha that's scary that that happened but now you know how to fix it and also you know what to periodically replace! Belts are often forgotten and this is the result of that.
Thank you! I actually already replaced the timing belt last summer, but because it was my first time ever doing a timing belt I decided not to film it. Maybe in the future though!
GREAT video, I've got the toyota EPC-data pictures of the v-belts for my corolla on the side and it's so clear what you're doing, props to your video making skills and thank you!
Could be struts, yes. But... it could also be sway bar links or even the sway bar bushings but those don't make a crunching noise, more like a knocking noise over bumps. But yeah probably struts.
I have a 1994 toyota Corolla Station Wagon, same colour. The video is amazing, I watched it so I could change my belts but now I need help. The nut at 11:00 is rusted and rounded. Not sure how to remove. Thanks in advance.
Nice! They're awesome cars! About the nut... you need to apply a lot of heat to it, you might need a new pulley or at least a new bearing for it after you're done. Find yourself either a 6-point wrench or a socket that's shallow enough to fit, and use a pry bar to force it on (you'll need to go one size down so if it's a 14 mm then use a 13 mm). Whatever you do don't use a 12-point anything. Heat up the nut and break it free. Then replace it with a new one. Good luck! Keep me updated!
It's actually easier than you might think. The engine is a non interference engine so don't worry about destroying it. It can be a little tight in there but totally doable. Just make sure you know the torque specs of the essential parts and know where the timing marks need to be lined up.
I have a Geo Prizm 1994 and i love your wheels. Where did you get them and what is the name of them so i can look around the net to find them for sale.
I bought them on Craigslist from a guy that had them on a 1st gen Miata. They're Motegi MR7, they've been out of production for numerous years now so you can't buy them new but plenty of people still sell them used. Mine are 16x7 and I run 205/50R16 summer tires for plenty of grip. They fit well, but they do rub in the back if you don't roll your fender. I just smashed them with the hammer for faster progress.
I won't do a timing belt on the Corolla anytime soon because I just did my timing belt and water pump last summer (2018) so it'll be good for a while. It was my first ever timing belt job so I didn't want to film but it wasn't hard so next time I'll film it
Hey, is it possible to get a/c in a e11 that didnt originally have a/c? The bolt holes and space for an a/c unit should be alrdy there but idk how difficult it is
You need the compressor, all brackets, ac tensioner pulley, new harmonic balancer that has AC ribs, belt, AC lines, AC condenser, accumulator, evaporator core (goes next to your heater core) and potentially an AC evap core box (idk if the non AC cars had space for an evaporator core), and then you need the wiring that triggers the AC, the button that goes on your dash, and an idle-up valve that goes in the engine bay to idle up the engine when the AC is on. I think that's about it, but I might be forgetting something. Personally, I don't think it's worth it at all. But... if you really want it, you're better off buying a parts car that has it and taking all those parts off if it.
@@AutoFixYT thank you for your fast and detailed response. Adding a/c is more complicated than i was aware of and i guess it would be a bit too much for me to handle. The e11 it my first car so im very eager to learn about it and improve it. i guess i should focus on fixing the oil leak (which i hope is located at the valve gasket) and the fuel smell on could start. Again thank you very much, both the video and ur response were very helpful.
Thank you for this video. My AC compressor belt broke on me last night there was a lot of smoke everywhere I pulled over to check the car out didn’t see any more smoke drove it back home and parked it. Is it OK to drive without the AC belt?
Yes it is ok to drive like that, you just won't have AC. Make sure you check for any leftovers of the belt though. You don't want to have small pieces that got shredded and stuck behind the pulleys. That will cause other major damage. If you replace one belt, replace all three.
@@AutoFixYT the 1.8 version. I habe the exact same car and colour in 4 door sedan and it still runs great. The only problem is the roof welds (there are many) are all starting to rust through
@@AutoFixYT all the spot welds start rusting on the roof. Seen the same problem in the engine bay area. Car was produced in Canada I believe for the North America's
For anyone that’s looking this also works for 6th gen Celica models with the 1.8l 7afe engine. There’s not one video that I could that shows how to remove ALL 3 belts
Thank you! The purpose of an oil catch can is to collect all the oil that comes out of your crankcase through the PCV system, before it goes back to the intake. If you have a lot of low by from worn piston rings like I do, then a lot of junk (oil and combustion fumes) will be floating around in the crankcase, which will escape via the PVV valve. Usually that's routed straight back into the intake. What happens then though is all those fumes stick to the inside of the intake and clog it all up, or make it very restrictive. I had to take mine apart and clean it thoroughly a couple years ago. The oil catch can separates those fumes and collects them so you can dispose of them before it goes into the intake. Long explanation sorry lol but hopefully I covered it all
Mine has 336k. The severity of the oil issue depends on maintenance. Before I had the car, it wasn't always serviced every 3k miles with fresh oil so I'm sure that affected it
nice video bro.. i have a question if the PS belt is over tightened will that cause the power steering pulley to seize? every time i turn the wheel in either direction the PS pulley has trouble spinning and sometimes just stops completely along with the belt. thanks
That will most likely happen due to a worn pump that can't push fluid around anymore. It could happen if you have the belt overtightened for a long time if it ruined the bearing but you'd get other symptoms with that such as a wobbly pulley, noisy pulley, and maybe even damaged belt. If all it does is stop spinning and makes the belt slip, it's most likely a bad pump that you need to replace. Before you replace the pump though, check the fluid. If it's not clean, flush it. Old fluid can do that too if it's so old that it doesn't hold pressure anymore.
As of 5:00 pm today I just finished doing all three of these stupid belts, it was a huge pain in the ass my idler pulley was stuck and I rounded it out then I had to go buy bolt extractor set and then find a way to fit a socket in there “witch was very hard” finally got that off and the the stupid alternator bottom bolt took me a hour to get lined up with the other one, it took me 4 hours all together to do this
Like I said in the video I am putting very little pressure on it, and I have a metal reservoir, not plastic. You don't need a lot of pressure to tension the belt. Just enough to stretch it and that's it
@@AutoFixYT Okay, I'm planning to replace my timing belt, and this video is very useful. Your corolla 7th gen video series is great and I'm waiting for another how to for this car. Keep up the good work and greeting from Indonesia 👍
Thank you! Always happy to help! Good luck on the timing belt, I did mine last summer. It's an easy job but be gentle around the crankshaft position sensor. They break easily. The engine is non interference so the pistons won't hit the valves if you do it wrong. So if you do, just try again! :)
Hello thank you for this tutorial but I have a question I need to put back my harmonic balancer on my Toyota Corolla 1994 but any idea how much torque I need to tight the bolt on this harmonic balancer please help thank you.....
The brand is called DEPO. Just search 1995 (or whatever year your car is) black housing headlights. I then opened those up and added a projector to the low beams.
Question. At 22m. You said if it squeaks, tighten or loosen. I put on a new pull and belt for my ac and not matter what I do it squeaks, so annoying. What do I do to fix this
If you are sure you have the correct tension on the belt, make sure you didn't over tighten the pulley. Also make sure the belt didn't get any oils or grease on it. Other than that... maybe you can see where the squeak is coming from. Is it from the tensioner pulley, or is it from the AC compressor. Could be a bad bearing in the AC compressor.

@@AutoFixYT got it I, can't wait untill next time
Hey, is it possible to get a/c in a e11 that didnt originally have a/c?
The bolt holes and space for an a/c unit should be alrdy there but idk how difficult it is
You need the compressor, all brackets, ac tensioner pulley, new harmonic balancer that has AC ribs, belt, AC lines, AC condenser, accumulator, evaporator core (goes next to your heater core) and potentially an AC evap core box (idk if the non AC cars had space for an evaporator core), and then you need the wiring that triggers the AC, the button that goes on your dash, and an idle-up valve that goes in the engine bay to idle up the engine when the AC is on. I think that's about it, but I might be forgetting something.
Personally, I don't think it's worth it at all. But... if you really want it, you're better off buying a parts car that has it and taking all those parts off if it.
@@AutoFixYT thank you for your fast and detailed response.
Adding a/c is more complicated than i was aware of and i guess it would be a bit too much for me to handle.
The e11 it my first car so im very eager to learn about it and improve it. i guess i should focus on fixing the oil leak (which i hope is located at the valve gasket) and the fuel smell on could start.
Again thank you very much, both the video and ur response were very helpful.
Nice work dude
Thanks!!
yep great vid mate.. legend.. I have a sr20 to work on , so this gives me an idea
Thank you! And good luck to you!
well done sir! great info
Hi man great videos!!!
I own 99 corolla..
Do you have a video on timing belt replacement?
I don't but this is a highly requested video so I might be doing it in the near future!
Yeah thanks Bro, super Nice Yota too! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks!
Thank you for this video. My AC compressor belt broke on me last night there was a lot of smoke everywhere I pulled over to check the car out didn’t see any more smoke drove it back home and parked it. Is it OK to drive without the AC belt?
Yes it is ok to drive like that, you just won't have AC. Make sure you check for any leftovers of the belt though. You don't want to have small pieces that got shredded and stuck behind the pulleys. That will cause other major damage. If you replace one belt, replace all three.
Man, that corolla sounds manly.
Nice job Dude!👍
Thanks Andy!
Very short video. Also good explanation on how to tension the power steering pump pulley. Thanks.
Looks like a 4afe engine
Thank you! And yes it's the same block as the 4A-FE. The 7A-FE is just a stroked out version of the 1.6L with different cam shafts.
@@AutoFixYT the 1.8 version. I habe the exact same car and colour in 4 door sedan and it still runs great. The only problem is the roof welds (there are many) are all starting to rust through
@@therealspixycat oh no that's pretty bad 😬
@@AutoFixYT all the spot welds start rusting on the roof. Seen the same problem in the engine bay area. Car was produced in Canada I believe for the North America's
@@therealspixycat Yeah that's not good
For anyone that’s looking this also works for 6th gen Celica models with the 1.8l 7afe engine. There’s not one video that I could that shows how to remove ALL 3 belts
Yup, anything with a 7A or 4A block should be the same if not very similar.
Outstanding video (and a gorgeous 7th gen Corolla!). What's the purpose of the oil catch can?
Thank you!
The purpose of an oil catch can is to collect all the oil that comes out of your crankcase through the PCV system, before it goes back to the intake. If you have a lot of low by from worn piston rings like I do, then a lot of junk (oil and combustion fumes) will be floating around in the crankcase, which will escape via the PVV valve. Usually that's routed straight back into the intake. What happens then though is all those fumes stick to the inside of the intake and clog it all up, or make it very restrictive. I had to take mine apart and clean it thoroughly a couple years ago. The oil catch can separates those fumes and collects them so you can dispose of them before it goes into the intake.
Long explanation sorry lol but hopefully I covered it all
@@AutoFixYT Definitely, thanks! How many miles are on yours? My '94 is at 150K and doesn't seem to have the oil blow-by issue yet.
Mine has 336k. The severity of the oil issue depends on maintenance. Before I had the car, it wasn't always serviced every 3k miles with fresh oil so I'm sure that affected it
nice video bro.. i have a question if the PS belt is over tightened will that cause the power steering pulley to seize? every time i turn the wheel in either direction the PS pulley has trouble spinning and sometimes just stops completely along with the belt. thanks
That will most likely happen due to a worn pump that can't push fluid around anymore. It could happen if you have the belt overtightened for a long time if it ruined the bearing but you'd get other symptoms with that such as a wobbly pulley, noisy pulley, and maybe even damaged belt. If all it does is stop spinning and makes the belt slip, it's most likely a bad pump that you need to replace. Before you replace the pump though, check the fluid. If it's not clean, flush it. Old fluid can do that too if it's so old that it doesn't hold pressure anymore.
What size in inches is the belt for the altanator?
Should be about 38"
Excellent video I would like to to ask you can be posible to have the car running without the ac belt since I don’t use the Ac ???
Yes you can
@@AutoFixYT okay 👍🏻 thank you excellent
As of 5:00 pm today I just finished doing all three of these stupid belts, it was a huge pain in the ass my idler pulley was stuck and I rounded it out then I had to go buy bolt extractor set and then find a way to fit a socket in there “witch was very hard” finally got that off and the the stupid alternator bottom bolt took me a hour to get lined up with the other one, it took me 4 hours all together to do this
I can feel the pain, trust me. But I'm glad you got it all done!!
@@AutoFixYT me to! This video was a life saver my stupid Haynes repair guide had almost no information on how to do this
is it safe to use pry bar on power steering reservoir to tighten PS belt?
Like I said in the video I am putting very little pressure on it, and I have a metal reservoir, not plastic. You don't need a lot of pressure to tension the belt. Just enough to stretch it and that's it
@@AutoFixYT Okay, I'm planning to replace my timing belt, and this video is very useful. Your corolla 7th gen video series is great and I'm waiting for another how to for this car. Keep up the good work and greeting from Indonesia 👍
Thank you! Always happy to help! Good luck on the timing belt, I did mine last summer. It's an easy job but be gentle around the crankshaft position sensor. They break easily. The engine is non interference so the pistons won't hit the valves if you do it wrong. So if you do, just try again! :)
Nicely Done!! Many Thanks!!
Thanks!
Well done thank you
Thank you!
Do a video on how you put your fog lights in
I have upgraded to a light bar, so I don't have those anymore
Nice job tank you
👍🏻
Love the wagon!
Thanks!
Hello thank you for this tutorial but I have a question I need to put back my harmonic balancer on my Toyota Corolla 1994 but any idea how much torque I need to tight the bolt on this harmonic balancer please help thank you.....
My Haynes manual says 87 ft. Lbs
@@AutoFixYT thank you so much appreciate it
lol I have this manual which page I can see this information??
@@EJ3.16 I found it in the specification page of the engine chapter
@@AutoFixYT okay thank you 🙏 very much
Can you use the pink coolant by any mean? I'm tryna do a proper flush with my coolant, also putting oem v belts.
Yeah you can use pink but you can also use red which is what these cars were designed for, and you can also use yellow universal coolant.
@@AutoFixYT the zerex should do it right,Do you have a flush of coolant video?
@@JalenRose02 I don't have a video on it unfortunately. But ChrisFix has a good one that you can follow and just apply to this situation!
Thank you, sir!
I'm glad the video helped!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks! Glad I was able to help!
12:30 Power steering belt
Yes.
Hey man, can you pls advise what is the manufacturer of the headlights you use?
The brand is called DEPO. Just search 1995 (or whatever year your car is) black housing headlights.
I then opened those up and added a projector to the low beams.
@@AutoFixYT thanks a lot!
it was helpful, i appreciate it.
Please tell me what kind of wheels those are, they are so sick. Thanks for the content!
Motegi MR7 16X7 +42 offset with 205/50 tires. They are discontinued but you can still find them used. And thank you!
@@AutoFixYT thank you man, I have a 97 AE101 and I’m really trying to fix it up and make it a clean car. You don’t know how much it means truly.
@@poppinfresh5261 Awesome! I love mine, these cars are really fun to work on, and to drive. So enjoy yours to its fullest!
Hello, Is this procedure same on '96 celica 7AFE?
Yes, same exact procedure.
Thank you !!
You're welcome!
Question. At 22m. You said if it squeaks, tighten or loosen. I put on a new pull and belt for my ac and not matter what I do it squeaks, so annoying. What do I do to fix this
If you are sure you have the correct tension on the belt, make sure you didn't over tighten the pulley. Also make sure the belt didn't get any oils or grease on it. Other than that... maybe you can see where the squeak is coming from. Is it from the tensioner pulley, or is it from the AC compressor. Could be a bad bearing in the AC compressor.
Great video 👍🏽
Thank you!
