no more Toyodiy.com

Dont know if this has already been mentiond but

"Long story short.....

Toyodiy.com used to have the exact same diagrams as the dealers but for pretty much every Toyota/Lexus product in the world. You could click on the photos and get part numbers that were always accurate.

The corporate goons at Toyota bullied the ISP host and the site shut down entirely for 2 days but it came back on the 6th without the diagrams.

Here is a link to the site and explaination from them:

Here is a link to Toyota customer service:

Thanks for posting this up.. I have emailed Toyota, here's hoping that they will listen!

Funnily enough, it was actually a chap who works for Toyota parts who told me to check some part numbers on toyodiy.com and then confiorm them back to him

Its a shame it was a good site for reference ,the part numbers are still there but its not the same when you cant do a visual check as for what you need

You've still got more chance of getting the right part than Toyota Parts Dept.

This site is still working for the moment.
Here is an exemple :

Same here, he was like "oh I dunno if you know about this site but it's dead good cause it's easier to use than the EPC software" and I said I'd avoided telling him about it because Toyota always shut them down

No diagrams though ??

I do still have diagrams of all the parts

toyodiy is the only site I found easy to use and more importantly it had the right part numbers on it. They might as well just shut it down without the pictures.

I E-Mailed Toyota, here's the reply...

Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

We are sensitive to the opinions of our customers.

We apologize that you are unable to locate parts and diagrams on a non-Toyota website, TOYODIY.com

Technical information for Toyota vehicles sold in the U.S. is available through our authorized web site https://techinfo.toyota.com for a nominal fee.

...so they don't seem to know how this site worked. The 2 dealers I use are hopeless for parts unless you tell them exact numbers. Ordered many thousands of pounds worth of new parts over last 3 1/2 years -this is a real blow for me.

Im ripping that other site to harddrive now just incase they remove that as well!!

[toxo]

They won't remove the ayrpark one, for starters it's outside of their juristiction (sp) as it's not hosted in the states, secondly it's been there for *years* and they've never batted an eyelid, and thirdly it's small fry to them as it only covers MR2s...

It's a shame the ayrpark one is not presented in such a user friendly and convenient way as toyodiy was, and contains no pricing information (however vague it was).

I for one had also been using toyodiy for other types of cars too, including Lexus parts...

Edit: Toyota have launched a subscription based European parts catalogue, as well as the US one mentioned in RST's post above:
http://techdoc.toyota-europe.com/

Only €2400 a year!!

Someone needs to host the files somewhere like Russia, the Philpines or somewhere like that.

[toxo]

If I can get hold of them I'm quite happy to host them. My domain registry is in Western Samoa and the servers that host the files are buried in a basement at my old work, unlikely to ever get any comeback from it.

[Steve-O 2007]

Contact the Toyodiy guys, Im sure they will have a backup of it that they can send you
