2005 Toyota Corolla 1.6 Logo

My Toyota corolla has been making a loud whirring sound on top of the normal engine sound, tends to go when it is warm. Oil light came on intermittently the other day and the sound changed but no oil

A new fan belt, oil filter and air pump have been put on the car after the oil light came on. Initially it drove ok for about 20 miles then it started making a deep engine noise with the oil light flickering on and off again. Managed to drive it to a garage and nothing diagnosed. Drove it back home ok with no problems except for the whirring noise on top of the engine sound again. Went to drive it today and the PS light now comes on when starting up the car then goes off when running but now the whirring sound has disappeared.

SOURCE: 2003 Toyota Corolla oil pressure light flickers

see if you have any oil level or pressure sensors. sometimes these can get gunked up. You may need a new oil pump. I suggest you start using a senthetic oil (valvoline,mobil 1 is reccomended) after u get the problem fixed.

SOURCE: 2003 toyota corolla -had the problem with the code

It is very possible that the oil pump has failed. I would not drive the car. If the oil pressure really is low, then it will burn the motor up. The car needs to be put on the computer to see if the ECM is registering any oil pressure.

Why is my 1998 toyota corolla oil getting short

Is there any white smoke? Could be your valve stem seals. But the Toyota Corolla in this year's is known for burning oil. If you are having to add more than 1 quart per month. You may have a problem. Check for the obvious. Milky oil. Idle it to op temp and smell exhaust for burnt oil smell. Hit the gas...see any white smoke? Open your radiator cap after running and smell for exhaust... If all is well then you have a normal running toyota corolla. These cars are champs. They just tend to burn a Lil oil here and there.

I have a 93 toyoto corolla that had an oil leak so the moter would make a ticking sound then when you fill it it would stop but now makes loud clicking noise and started surguing

The clicking sound is your lifters starving for oil. Now that it is surging, you have a collapsed lifter. You will have to do a top end rebuild on the engine and replace all the lifters. But make sure you fix the oil leak so you don't have the same thing happen again.

My 2000 1.6 litre Corolla has a loud knocking from top of engine. Sounds like a valve dropped or seized and maybe hitting piston. The engine has been running well but suffering high oil consumption.

STOP RUNNING THE MOTOR IMMEDIATELY!!! If it has dropped a valve all you are doing is making the damage worse. Take the valve cover off and make sure all of the valve stems are there. If not replace or rebuild the motor.

When the engine is started in a cold environment ( Canadian winter) there is a loud rattling noise. This noise disappears once the engine in warmed up. There is a corresponding high idle ( 1800 RPM) until...

it is probly your valve train starving for oil.I would try using a thinner oil in the winter time or just switch over to a full synthetic oil this should help.Once you switch to full synthetic oil though it is recomended to stay with it it is not good to go back and forth from synthetic to regular oil.

Loud clicking noise

It sounds like one of your pistons are bad as in the connecting rod pin's to the piston is loose and your getting to much internal engine pressure, that's why your getting lot's of oil coming out the top if your engine. Sorry for the news friend but time to retire the car, the cost is going to be greater to repair then replace.
