Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[myluckygirl]

Hi newbie lang po. Questions lang po sa mga masters dito. I just recently bought a 2nd hand car a week ago. Altis AT 1.8E 2005 model (not sure if this is the 9th generation though). I just want to know more about this car kasi wala ako masyado makita about reviews nito e.

Nakuha ko siya something around 77600 ang mileage then ginamit ko siya this week so naging 77900 na yung mileage niya.

Any known issues po sa variant na to that I need to watch and take care of?

Wala pa namang major sira yung car, all original pa naman siya sabi nung last owner. Minor fixes na lang daw yung papalitan like ball joint (drivers side) and medyo matunog na yung break niya.

Currently kasi yung gulong niya 195 tpos 15" rims niya. Don po siya medyo matunog parang regrub ata e. Balak ko siya sana palitan soon, ano po kaya maganda brand na di naman sobrang pricey saka po size ng rims?

Also medyo naguguluhan po ako sa specs ng car ko. May G variant po ba ito? Yung sinasabi kasi ng tito ko G variant na daw tong nakuha ko pero nakalagay sa emblem at rehistro E variant. Baka po mabigyan niyo nadin ako ng quick overview what to expect sa car ko kasi medyo hesitant pako gamitin siya lagi naninibago ako dahil nasanay ako sa Corolla MT.

Thank you po. Looking forward for your feedbacks mga masters! 😊

That's a Gen 9.5. The 1.8E variant is rare and has lower specs than the 1.8G; notably it has no leather seats.

Just do a general service since you jusy bought it and its near the critical 80,000km service stop. Change all the fluids (ATF, brake, coolant, power steering), do a full change oil and flush, change your fuel filter, air filter, water pump, radiator cap, and serpentine belt. On suspension and brakes, do a general check-up; clean the brakes and replace the pads; if you want sabay mo na rin palitan yung ball joints, tie rods, and rack ends on both sides.

On the tyres, if you change, 205/60R15s fit well also. Of you find the road noise high, you can add again undercoating to the wheel wells to help dampen the sound.

Hi sir vinj! Thanks for the quick response. Btw, leather seat na po si luckygirl ko. Not sure lang kung inadd lang kasi toyota din ang tatak. Di pa daw yon napapalitan ng leather kasi mahirap daw palitan sabi nung prev owner, maayos naman siya so far. Lower specs in terms of ano po? Wala kasi akong manual nito gusto ko kasi siya pagaralan, wala din ako mahanap sa net.

Where do you recommend to do the general checkup kaya sir? Around marikina,cainta or antipolo lang sana. Saka roughly pag sinabay sabay ko siya mga around how much kaya aabutin ito sir?

Pasensiya na po makulit ako. Super thank you po! 👊👍

Hi, after warranty, where do you go for maintenance? change oil and everything? do you still go to the casa? appreciate advise. I have 1.6v 2011. Thanks.

Hi, anybody here have changed their shock absorbers? Saw the basic KYBs offered by the retailers, thinking of a higher model than those. any recommendations? How much?

changed mine last year..... used KYB..... although nabasa ko sa altis club, ok din ang zeon brand.
if you would want a higher model, try using the OEMs...

i have a 2012 1.6 G. i usually go to Customer's Cradle Shell Las Pinas... Complete din sila dun and they carry OEM parts ng Altis natin.

would there be a servitek in your area? di kami familiar sa lugar eh...
kung sabay sabay? baka kailangan mo ng around 15k, including change of brake pads, flushing, fluids, belts, water pump... mas maganda kung sa reputable shop mo talaga ipagawa.

Hi, I am torn between sellingg my Altis or keeping it. I have a silver 2008 model, 1.8V. Mga 3 years na siya sa akin. I am thinking of getting a new Altis. Pero parang nagdadalawang isip pa ako. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!

if its within your means, go for the new one; new engine, new transmission (CVT).
