2017 Toyota Wigo

[dr. d]

I have to check and verify if manual booklet is still intact. The important thing is to change oil and filter after I made the purchase how about fuel filter does it need to be replaced also? I have a d4-d inmova and I replaced fuel filter element every year because as we know our fuel especially diesel is quite dirty. But this one wigo is gasoline and it is much cleaner.

some authors recommend replacement of all fluids and filters upon purchase of the used car.
it would appear, they do not trust the previous owner's ministrations and would like to play it safe.
but if you feel the previous owner treated the car well enough, the scheduled regular changes should suffice...

i do not recall replacing our wigo's fuel filter since new, over 5 years ago.
but if pms says replace it, then i probably did.
i just do not remember.

perusing the owner's manual, i do not remember finding any pms figure on the diesel engine's fuel filter replacement.
i haven't replaced mine in over 100K km.
i am waiting for the fuel filter warning light to catch my attention, before i replace it.


apparently, today's gasoline and diesel fuels are much cleaner than they were before.

Im surprised that you haven't replaced your fuel filter element for d4-d innova. I remember a choking problem for the 1st gen innova so ever since I make sure to replaced it yearly and it just cost around 300 pesos anyway. For the fuel filter warning light I know if there is presence of water in the fuel filter it will lit up.

As for wigo, so it is not written in the manual to replaced it every let say 10,000km? If not then should be included in the 40,000km change all fluid and filters.

i have the first gen D4d innova.
it had a choking problem? i never heard of it.
but toyota does have this habit of replacing potentially problematic items, without much fanfare, during the pms...
i did not experience the choking issue.
lucky?

but i did replace it, very early on, because the water warning light lit up.
i have not replaced it since. over 100K km na.

i remember there was this bit about a fuel tank leak plaguing the 1st gen innova back then. did you have any problems w/ that before, doc?

nope. no issues for me.

i think, that tank issue involved only the gasoline variants...?
something about clogged pressure equalizer systems (breather tubes), i believe.

Unless the seller can show proof of recent service (service rcord/receipts), I would change it. Fluids and filters are cheap anyway.

ah, so that kink was isolated to petrol models only. that's good to know.

mabenta din ba iyong gas variants ng innova? lakas siguro sa gas nun.

the gas variant theory is my personal thought only, po.

a number of critics of the Vvti gas innova, mention the perceived lack in engine performance. they don't seem to complain about the fuel appetite.
kasi naman, if one is coming from the gas revo's fuel appetite...
perusing the online cars for sale,
when i come across a seeming cheaper innova... it usually is a gas variant. the diesels are still significantly higher priced.

Yes gas variant is cheaper I check with secondary market around 30 to 40k lower than diesel variant. Mine is already at 100k odo and thinking if I should sell or keep going till it reach 200k hehe

if you are satisfied with it naman, and it is not giving you trouble,
hold on to it.
i can not think of a sedan or hatch, whose interior space can even begin to approach the innova's.
you are probably better off with it, than a used car that you have no idea regarding the history thereof.

So far at 100k no major breakdown. Only the aircon evaporator replaced it twice. The alternator, compressor, radiator and water pump still running.

I have a little issue with my Wigo.

The unit is 3 years old, with 51k mileage. Now, i recently noticed that the car's RPM fluctuates while idling. The RPM fluctuates a little, but it doesnt reach the number "1" on the gauge.

I also feel like the car is wheezing.

Anybody here in Tsikot experience this?? thanks.
