Being work has been slow, I decided to take my xB in for a few TSB work.

First one was for the fuel pipe opening. In my case, the Fuel tank and pipe opening were replaced along with other parts. Basiclly, the whole gas tank had to be replace. Cost of parts, $625.70

Second TSB work was for the A/C. Again, in my case, the whole A/C unit had to be replaced. Total cost of parts $1242.70

In all, total cost of the two TSB's were $1,868.40 and covered by factory warranty.



Right after leaving the dealer, I had to fill up with gas. OMG! What a differance. It's the first time in over a year I didn't have to put the gas pump on the first notch.

My A/C is so cold that I find myself wanting to turn on the heater.

I also found that my xB seems to run much faster/quicker. This just might be in my head?

Take advantage of your TSB's.

yea the only thing nicer about the tsb is when the messup and install a supercharger in my car instead of fixing the pop in my moonroof..... ahhhh a tC owner can dream no?

"OMG! What a differance" yeah, I'm livin large too! nice huh? I might get the AC one done in spring. Kinda nervous though.

Dang! I want these TSBs for the xA!

how long did it take you to get you TSB's done, and did you get a loner car too??? i'm taking mine in 01/31 monday to get these done and for the rattle too

I took the car in at 7:00am and it was done by 5:00pm. I also had my oil changed and had them look at my rear bumper as it had came lose. No loaner was required or should I say I didn't request one. They just gave me a ride home and picked me up.

I'm going to get mine done when the weather warms up so I can do a comparision of AC function. No trick to getting it blowing cold when it's 60 degrees outside! My filler has always been marginal so that one will get done too. I suppose I was more tolerant of the filler since it would usually run full blast until the last couple of gallons. then you had to eaaasseeee them in.

Did you have the work done here in the SCV?

on the AC TSB, does anyone knows until when is the warranty covered? I want to do this by or before summer, I hope its still covered by then.

I think TSBs are forever,., it isnt a warentee issue.. however its also not a recall.. so they are not "required" to do the work.. just do them ASAP while its fresh

how much is the a/c tsb.... like alot better? is it worth it?

I posted info for a lot of TSB's a while back at:
"xA, xB, tC: Technical Service Bulletins"
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40776&highlight=

I thought I had found them all, but the fuel pipe opening I do not have.
Can you please post a link or E-amil me the PDF file?
Also, is there a TSB for the chipping, scratching paint?

Thanks!

there should be a tsb for paint but there isnt , oh well , one day. and the gas tank tsb is for both xa/and xb

I got my fuel TSB fixed today also. Took about 2 hours.
Here's a link to the page I found the TSB on, Rally.

did I miss the fuel tsb?????

What is the fuel TSB under and when you brought it in for this problem what did you say to explain the problem: did you just give them the TSB number or did you say you were having problems pumping gas?

all ya gotta do is bring it in and ask if your car is covered for the gas tank tsb , and if they ask just tell em it's hard to pump without clicking.

I just played dumb. I told them I had trouble putting gas in and told them I had heard of a TSB.

okay what is this TSB talk about.. ??? why and why?

okay what is this TSB talk about.. ??? why and why?
this has been discuss for months now. its about how some of us were having problem pumping gas with out the nozzel clicking even if the tank is not full, or even you just started to pump. some recommend changing the position how you put the nozzel. but some of us still gets difficulty pumping gas. Toyota realize it and issue TSB. then we go to dealer to see if our VIN qualifies and they order the parts and do the job.

I filled up for the first time today after getting it fixed. I wanted to quote Braveheart and shout "FREEDOM!". I was actually able to set it and walk away. :D 8)

RON:
i am hoping to take mine in soon for this work. did they give you a rental or was it done in one day?

I waited, just took 2 hours.

oops, i should of quoted the original post as to that was what my question was about

nice o ...i think i am going to the dealer right now....

Don't be surprised if the parts aren't in stock. I went in before hand and had them order the parts before I took my xB in.

Hmmmm... I still can't find the one on the fuel tank.
:ponder:
What is the TSB number?

I couldn't find it on there either :doh: so I went and looked on my copy from when I got it done. The number is EG040-04 and they replaced the Fuel tank sub-assembly, fuel tank filler pipe sub-assembly, exhaust pipe gasket, standard part compression spring and the check valve gasket. :relief:

so was the a/c tsb worth it?

My A/C is so cold that I find myself wanting to turn on the heater.

I also found that my xB seems to run much faster/quicker. This just might be in my head?

Take advantage of your TSB's.

I had both of these TSB's done when each came out. I did not feel any difference after the A/C but something felt different after the gas tank. The throttle is a little more responsive.

Hmmmm.... i searched the net for "EG040-04" and can only find an unrelated Toyota TSB for "ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT SQUEAL/ BELT TENSIONER RATTLE"
:question:
Any chance you could scan in your hard-copy and E-mail it to me?
:pray:

I wrote it down worng :doh: . Its EG049-04. Dont have a scanner. That should do it though,

so ist useless to get the a/c done?

i know this thread is about the fuel tank tsb...but did anybody else notice that the cached tsb link doesn't list anything for the tC's rattles? particularly the moon roof and the hatch? anybody know what TSB numbers these are and what VIN's they apply to?

The A/C made the air feel cooler to me. When I said I did not feel any difference I was referring to power gain/loss. Sorry for the confusion.

oh ok... so i should get it done?

I went to my dealer about the TSB's. They told me it information for them on how to do the work. Not that it was necessarily a problem. So do I take it in there and tell them I've noticed problems and to fix it?

Yes

dropped mine off, since its to damn cold to get my a/c to get worked on :roll: that'll just have to wait till the hot days of spring/summer time, oh well makes sense too me...

and oh yeah a tire roation for 19.95 also around every 7500 miles i thought it would of been around at every other oil change

I got the A/C done and it feels the same as it did when I broght it in. I'm going to take it back and see whats up, And thank GOD on the fuel filling I've had mine about when they came out and have always had the problem at the pump

got my car back and grrr they couldn't find the dash rattle :roll:

but they did order the gas tank parts for it thats a plus

I wrote it down worng :doh: . Its EG049-04. Dont have a scanner. That should do it though,

Not seeing it.

So?
Dude, thats the number. You don't even need the number. Just take it in and tell them you're having problems and they will fix it.

Good point.

Since it's not a big issue, and I am likely not going to spend 2 hours of my life between now and summer on wasted gas pumping time, and would if I went to the dealer, I am going to have the A/C and fuel filler done at the same time so they'll give me a car to drive.

All one sentence.

yup i think i will invest the time to get my a/c done

I only did mine now because I had the time and come summer, everyone will be doing it at the same time. Then, it might take longer to do.

yea i prob well be doing it later this week

well they got my parts in for my gas tank :D and gonna tell them theres the rattle in my radio and not my dash :eyebrow:
