On the Renault Espace IV, the dashboard is made up of two layers of plastic glued together. Over time, the adhesive can give way and harden, causing vibrations, creaks, and annoying noises, especially at certain engine speeds.

The proposed solution is to insert thin foam between the two layers of plastic to dampen vibrations and eliminate noise. Prepare strips of thin foam, similar to that used for padding or acoustic insulation.

Insert them between the two layers of plastic, in the gap that separates the upper part from the lower part of the dashboard. After inserting the foam, start the engine and vary the revs to check if the noises have decreased or disappeared.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
