SH**!! MY SCREW - Toyota Yaris Forums

ham · 03-03-2010, 08:57 PM

I was reinstalling the air meter on my intake when I dropped one of the 2 screws that hold it on. I looked everywhere. It's gone.

Where is the best place for me to find the correct replacement screw?

Yoda · 03-03-2010, 09:00 PM

any auto part store i would think.... if you kno the size of it that is

06silveryaris · 03-03-2010, 09:33 PM

salvage yard

ham · 03-04-2010, 05:40 AM

I was also thinking salvage yard. Just have to hope they have a Yaris

POORSHA · 03-04-2010, 08:01 AM

look in the splash guard i have found dropped screws there

WeeYari · 03-04-2010, 08:12 AM

Just go to the dealer. They must have lots of those tiny little buggers on hand.

YarisPR · 03-04-2010, 08:29 AM

they are just screws.... if it fit it works

ham · 03-06-2010, 01:23 PM

Again, I found it. This place is great for all arts and pictures.

And much easier than me getting to the dealership and arguing with the parts counter guy that yes you can order it for me and no I don't want to order the whole air meter and your mechanics probably have these on their tool box in view of where we are standing.

Sorry about the rant, but we all have been there.

Maybe it got suck up by the intake and went inside the engine.

Ducttape works too.

That's what I'd be afraid of if I didn't watch it drop clear.

I say go to the dealer for the correct part. Can't be more than a buck. Take another with you to match.

kngrsll · 03-10-2010, 04:34 PM

i got a replacement at lowes. I brought the other one in and compared it

ham · 03-12-2010, 05:24 AM

So.......it turns out the website I ordered the screws from cannot get them from toyota. I'm on the hunt for scap yards again.

Bluevitz-rs · 03-12-2010, 07:59 AM

it'll be the same screw on any toyota MAF, so go to the wreckers.

kngrsll · 03-13-2010, 12:03 AM

or you can go to lowes like i said
