I didn't ask for the specific code (P0019/18/17...), will do that on Friday.
The new parts have been ordered today, arrival on Thursday, so if all goes well, I should have my car back on Friday. So I've only lost three days, not bad imo.
Rental car is still the Corolla AT (loool).

I would insist that the dealer not make any repairs until the dealer (with you present) speaks with Toyota directly about this being a possible ECU issue. There have been several cars that lost their engine completely (boom!) after the cam gear replacement was done (apparently incorrectly).
