2005 Yaris Grinding Noise

Yarisbob · 2010-08-20 06:36:43

Hi There .. First post and know absolutely nowt about cars so apologies My 2005 Toyota Yaris has started making a strange grinding noise. My local garage says it might be because I haven’t pumped up the tyres once in the five years I have owned the car. Are they right? Thanks

Grinding noise could be anything, my guess is front brake pads
might need changing. Get them checked out.

If you havnt checked the air in the tyres in 5 years most likely you have not had the oil changed in 5, my guess is the engine is finished either by lack of oil or oil turning to sludge.
