    Default Sportivo turbo manual

    I was wondering what would be my best approach as to getting a repair manual for my 01 corolla sportivo turbo. Being such a rare car it is very difficult to find information on them and my auto electrician who is looking at my car atm (and is pretty sure he's fixed it) said he had to guess his way around the wiring.
    The motor is a 7AFTE is that helps

    these were a toyota aus local thing
    there wont be a manual for your car
    rather two! the normal AE112 manual and a supplement produced by TMC with the differences in them.

    try going to ya local (big) toyota dealer and talking to the service department. if they have the supplement you maybe able to get the part number off it and get the parts dept to order you one. but dont hold your breath! also make sure you sitting down if they say yes, it could be $$$


    do they say 7AFTE on the build plate?

    wiring diagram manuals from toyota japan are around 3000-4000yen. (around 100 pages or so)
    the repair manual is more expensive tho.

    but yeah, might need to badger them to get it.. see if price is tolerable first

    Generally they differ little if it's a locally done thing because they can't afford to uptake any major engineering changes. You'll be suprised how far you'll get with the 7AFE manual for your chassis, depending on the work being done. The rest would be guess work really but there's not heaps to it, like I said, a lot of it will be in the 7AFE manual already.

    yep id say 99.% of the normal manual will be applicable
    pretty much only the turbo would be different

    Turbo, piping, maybe a couple of extra wiring things, and the odd piece of trim (like the spoiler risers etc), but the rest should be perfectly compatible with a normal AE112 manual
