Changing Oil Dipstick on the 1.8L 2010

Post by pilarskica »

I got the part #19205390 from Ebay but I can't find a DIY anywhere. I read that you have to take the alternator off ? Is there a DIY? Thanks

There's a Youtube video........"Oil dipstick tube replacement, 2009 Toyota Corrolla 1.8L". He was successful at replacing the diptstick tube by removing the alternator. Hope this helps.

Said video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFpo6KuClnQ

But yeah, might have to take it off just to give you a bit of clearance. Don't forget to unhook the battery too. You don't wanna take the positive lead off the alternator and shock yourself with the results :lol:
