Sudden Rough Idling/Car Shaking

[jick.cejoco]

"dead cylinder" simply means,
that cylinder is not contributing to the power generation of the engine.
a common fault is, the fuel mixture isn't igniting, i.e., something wrong with the hi tension, or there's not enough fuel...
it does not translate to major engine fix.

in my last casa pms,
the SA was perusing his monitor screen for my data...
"basic lang sir, tama?"
it appears, my "kuripot ang costumer na 'to. oil and filter only, nothing more" has been input-ed in their database.

hahahaha


auto shops rate and classify customers too.
A+pays the bill and a handshake with a tip

A-pays the bill no complaints


B- pays the bill and asks for something like freebies


C- customer pays but tries to nickel and dime the bill


D- shop tries not to entertain again

Cathy ... have a flatbed tow truck (why are they still called TOW trucks?) bring your car to ULS or whoever is willing to help you ... it's going to cost much, much cheaper and the work done will be much, much better ... that 7 hour labor charge alone is worth more than the towing service ...

PULL THE COROLLA out of casa ...

ayaw niya eh

gusto niya casa maintained

pag pinagawa sakin wala paperwork

she has nothing file

haha

kasi the word dead = very bad

P4k per ignition coil 😳



Bakit parang walang CVT oil replacement? Also, do I really need all these?

Na-doble yung engine flush dun sa quote nila.

Kung sakin, ito yung mga tatanggalin ko.
- toyota genuine gasoline engine flush
- x1r engine treatment
- engine decarbonizing
- gas injector cleaner
- toyota genuine baktalenz
- toyota genuine engine room cleaner
- toyota genuine engine room coat
- toyota car care(?)

[_Cathy_]

yeah i find that "engine decarbonizing" unnecessary

It's the 2nd time ata they quoted me engine decarbonizing

there are nine typical fluids in a regular car. some of them are not applicable to all cars.

1.motor oil/engine oil
2. automatic transmission oil
3.manual transmission oil/differential oil/manual steering gear(parallelogram, haltenberger linkage, cross steer systems)
4. brake fluid-DOT3,4,5,5.1
5. windshield washer fluid
6.antifreeze/coolant
7.battery electrolyte
8. fuel
9.refrigerant

any applicable fluid in your car has a projected service life.

stick with the car's owner's manual for fluid maintenance

I asked my SA nga why I don't see CVT fluid in the quotation. I have windshield washer fluid here but for the coolant I need to buy that nga.

Daming unnecessary pero yung needed wala

Decarbonizing IMO is useful sa GDI engines and diesels with dirty EGR. For old-school port-injected gasoline there's no need really.

Early coil packs were a common point of failure talaga. I remember my friend would carry a full set of coils with him because his car (an Evo VII) would have one go bad every so often. Nakakatawa din we had a funrun to Antonio's in Tagaytay, and when we got there the first thing we see him do is pop the hood and start checking the coilpacks

so you mean decarbonizing is not necessary for my car?

Mahal talaga even numbers na PMS.

ang weird kasi no need daw palitan yung CVT fluid

Yes it will probably cost me less than half (including towing) pero I don't wanna hassle ULS na rin (esp this Saturday) and go to QC hehehe. Saka para when I sell my car standard yung files ko (casa maintained) hehehe

But if no need to tow I'd probably drive it to QC kasi appalling naman pricing ng casa

the word dead always scares the hell out of me haha

doc sa casa nasilip ko sa computer may note "maselan ang client", I became chummy with my SA naman and when I am happy with the service I make sure to write a letter to management

ayaw niya eh

gusto niya casa maintained

pag pinagawa sakin wala paperwork

she has nothing file

haha

Yeah haha. I take pride in my filing

oo nga! I feel like banker ka talaga, keen eye for details

Thanks, consistent naman mga tsikoteers on what to remove

Ano ba nasa manual kung kailagan dapat palitan CVT fluid? Same with Ford sabi pag wala issue huwag muna palitan dahil nasa manual 100th kms before palitan eh wasak na siguro yun sasakyan bago umabot ng 100k kms. Kaya pinapalitan ko na lang sa labas.

Papalitan mo na lang sa labas.

Hindi ako nagbabasa ng manual. I don't even know where my manual is

Medyo kinakabahan ako kasi diba sa Tsikot may mga against sa CVT like they think it's not good or sirain?

OT: I have the same Toyota Pasig guy delivering my insurance for a decade na ata, nag comment na ang tagal na rin ng kotse ko kung papalitan ko na ba, my Mom was in the garden so I shouted, did you hear that, palitan mo na hahaha! Ewan ko if the universe is telling me to replace my car na If I will, yung Gen 11 ang ibenta ko. I won't sell my Gen 10 kasi I want my manual car saka mas matibay pa sa big body ko. Ang sagwa lang ng interior mukhang laspag because of the melted dashboard and peeled steering wheel

when i went to toyota school in nishin nagoya a long long time ago, those things that your service advisor recommended were not included as routine maintenance items. up to now, those items are not to be found in any toyota owner's manual. when i used to work at a toyota, gm, mercedes, hino lexus dealership aside from oil/filter change included were: lubricate door hinges and locks, clean inspect brake components, check tire pressure, age and conditions among other pertinent items in the owner's manual

definitely skip the decarbonizing part. most likely this is the spray can type. it has little to no effect and to get that result 1 application probably is not going to be enough. real engine decarbonizing is through walnut blasting. if you use good fuel and change oil often this carbon buildup is greatly minimized anyhow.

[jick.cejoco]

how did the service advisor know there is carbon build up in the combustion chambers? is he a fengshui fortune teller? any rational knowledgeable technician would investigate the condition of the chambers using a
high definition videoscope looking directly into the combustion chambers or use a digital storage oscilloscope and analyze the secondary ignition waveform when the engine is running. otherwise, he is selling false sense of performance improvement. do not buy unnecessary service unless there are tests done and there are proofs or digital printout from a diagnostic tool or equipment

CVT fluid is "lifetime" daw, but that's bunk.

Lifetime in the sense that they want to either sell you a new transmission after the warranty expires, or for you to buy a new car after 5 or so more years...

Here's what Scotty Kilmer has to say (just a 12 min video, won't take too long of your time)

Thanks I will have it removed

It seems like the new SA is NOT happy about me removing some items kasi 2021 pa daw since my last change oil [emoji35] I said I follow every 5k and that takes me a long time talaga.

I have to remember to buy coolant, I will do it myself. Then I will ask for old parts and the excess oil

Kaya pala ayaw palitan CVT ko?

HAHAHA he calls dealer people clowns [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Ang nakakatakot lang pag nagkamali ka, too little or too much sira transmission

Kung walang dipstick meron naman sigurong leveling plug.

Clowns and thieves.

The Civic in the video didn't have either, kaya sinukat niya how much came out, and put the exact same amount in.

Marami pa atang hindi marunong gumawa ng CVT whether here or abroad, kaya medyo problema nga. This guy (Scotty Kilmer) has been working on cars since he was 14.

Andito na rin yung to remove by other tsikoteers din. Thanks for the complete list. Yung gas injector cleaner hindi talaga needed? I googled a bit parang 50/50 yung necessary and unnecessary hehe

EDIT: I had the fuel injector cleaner removed, hinahalo lang pala sa fuel tank yun
