Hello guys, I'm from Townsville Queensland and I'm interested in buying an AE111 Levin, I was wanting to know what are the common problems with the car and the 20v Blacktop engine.

Thanks

ill say superstrut may be your only possible problem if you have it. Other than that they run very reliably

Hi there

The common problems are easily found on the forum main ones are ecu resistors blow out over time. Easy fix if you can solder.

Superstrut models are fun when the suspension needs to be worked on and parts are costly. So some members have converted from superstrut to mcpherson to make life a little easier.

They are the 2 main issues are I can think of other than having to source most parts overseas and from Toyota NZ. But they do share quite a few same parts with ADM Corollas from the same era like brakes and wheel bearings and suspension if it's mcpherson strut.

Welcome!

Have a read on the forum and you will find all you need to know.

The car's are very reliable! I've had mine nearly four years now and had trouble free motoring!!

The only thing that's gone wrong was the Superstrut so I changed to McPherson.

Other than that it's been great!!!!! I get in it and it starts every time, never had any other stupid problems with it like other cars either. Electric windows and all electrics inside the car are very reliable and durable!
