2014 Yaris' on the lot "and" built in Japan!

[bronsin]

I think the engines and transmissions are assembled by hand.

The individual parts like cylinder heads. block, etc crankshaft are probably built by computer controled machine tools.

Id like to know why so many Yaris water pumps leak.

My sons 2000 ECHO with 191,000 miles (built 12/99)

All origional except for 2 batteries, two sets of front brake pads, a set of sparkplugs, air filters, and a few other maintenance type things.

The alternator bearings are starting to seize. But theyve been squeeking for two years now...
