Q: Will 20" rims fit on a 2000 Toyota Solara SLE?
A: I have a 2000 Toyota Solara SLE also and I put 18" rims on my car and I think that is as big as they should be on a 2000 Solara. I scraped the tires on my car and had to get the smallest low profile tires that existed. Also, 20" rims on a Solara didn't look that great, just seemed out of place. So I would say go smaller on the rims. Hope this helps.

Q: 2000 Toyota Solara Oil Leak?!?
So I have 200 more miles until I need my next oil change.. and I was driving on Saturday night home from Detroit and I noticed, only when I stopped that my oil light would flash on. My hood was frozen shut so I couldn't check my oil. Well today I got to check my oil (I didn't drive anywhere else yesterday) And turns out there wasn't any oil? But my car was driving fine. PLEASE help me if you know anything that I can do// any estimates?!
My car has 80660 miles on it
A: Not good depending on how far that you drove with no oil in it, the engine could be siezed. If it did get siezed or damaged you probably need an engine overhaul.
Q: Check engine light, speedometer, transmission, Toyota Solara, P0500?
I have a 2000 Toyota Solara, with approx. 101,000 miles on it.
The check engine light came on a couple days ago and the transmission slipped. It revved breifly without engaging.
The light went off for a day.
Came back on yesterday with transmission revving without engaging itermittently AND the speedometer dropped to zero.
The speedometer would randomly go up to speed.
This was on the way to work so I went home. Then drove to the dealership service center (but the speedometer worked that time). They said the diagnosis code was P0500 and the speedometer would need to be replaced for $495 parts and labor.
But according to searches, P0500 calls for the vehicle speed sensor to be replaced, not the speedometer.
Anyone have experience with this issue?
Does this make sense? Does $495 sound accurate?
Would the VSS replacement do the trick instead?
Is that cheaper?
Are these guys trying to @#$% me?
Any help on this would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Rob
A: It does sound like the VSS is the culprit. If the signal isn't accurate, the speedo will just do what it's told. BUT, it should also be sending bad information to the fuel injection computer. Drivability doesn't always suffer, but there should be related symptoms. If the VSS isn't bad, but the speedo is, the labor getting it out of the dash is what is driving up the cost.
It never hurts to have them itemize the bill to understand exactly whats up, and give a warranty on the work.
Changing a VSS out mechanically is a low tech deal, and a good one could be had from the wrecking yard. I'd shop around and check prices, sometimes new from a local NAPA is cheaper.The computer probably holds the odometer reading on that one, so changing the VSS amounts to unplugging it, removing the bolt that holds it, and checking that the new one has a gear on the end with the same tooth count and color. Your local library has auto repair books that will show you how. It's a lot easier deal than the old cable.
I would also check the trans fluid, as it wasn't mentioned that you had - be sure it's up to full.
