There was no part number on his but it was the right length. I didn't get the part number from the dealer when I got the price either. Atleast it can be ordered and maybe one of the site sponsors could cut us a deal.

I'm hoping for closer to 15 bucks. My plastic one is turning brown from heat. What a cheap POS compared to the Yaris one.

OK Guys and Gals .. it has been done.

Part Number: 15301-21040

As you can see the Yaris Dip Stick is a little longer. I would say about an 1/8th of an inch at the most. With the tops lined up ( O Ring to O Ring ) the Full and Low dots are in the same place. And when installed showed my oil level at the same spot on each stick. It was a concern of mine as the Yaris stick was slightly longer, but i started the box and there was no shearing of the extra length. Now i feel like my engine is complete, and not using the nasty oil colored Scion dip stick any longer.

FS ... slightly used Scion first gen xB dipstick. Willing to part with cheap.

Fun info!!! Anyone know of a nice looking brake master cylinder cap? Not the double faced tape stick on ones from Ebay.

Thanks

Steering wheels yeah and no- I have heard all the newer ones (like since 89) have the same spline and diameter shaft-seems to be true so far.

The Yaris and Echo and at least a few Camrys have the same airbag plug ins so the steering wheel swaps should be easy enough as long as you get all the parts.

Echo front struts aren't as pressurized but fit on the xB and drop the front an extra 1/2 inch.

I can't find the link of the DIY for the Echo storage tray. But here's the part# 71753-52010. It averages for $63 from the dealer.

You also need to weld this to the rails of the passenger seat.

The storage tray goes right under the passenger seat.

Sorry. No pics.

I wanted to find out why Carson didn't show it on their new site. They only show the plastic one still for the 07-08 Yaris plus they dont list the part # when you look it up. With the discount from there it should be around 9 bucks plus shipping.

I too looked at 4 different Toyota sites with parts listings. Either they didnt show it or their sites were not working propperly.

It wasnt until i punched in the part number in Google that it came up in a Yaris forum. apparently this is a new part for them as well.

It may be cheaper to just order local and pay list than to add in shipping on discounted price.
