All New 2013 Toyota Vios (3rd Gen)

[dr. d]

Thanks mga boss sa inputs. Etong Vios base and J, then Wigo ang pinagpipilian ko. I agree, comparing base vs J, mukang mas ok nga J variant, di ko napansin yung ibang features ni J. Eheh
Research2x muna ko and hintay2x lang kung may malaking discount.

i bought one of the first wigo units to arrive.
i am not impressed by the "tibay ng build quality". the interior plastics look cheap. but so far, the car and engine are still in one piece and performing well.
i expect the vios to have a "more solid build and better choice of materials".

But, surely, the emblem makes it look tough & well made, doc.[emoji4]

i must agree.
the emblem on my wigo does look as well-made as the emblems on my other "genuine" toyotas.
but the glued-on "G" sub-emblem was easily sikwat-ed away by a collector, early on.

seriously,
comparing the wigo and the altis, as they roll across over the road imperfections, the altis is obviously "better built and better designed".
nothing new there.
i just like the wigo's ability to get into places the other cars can't.
besides, at its price, i really shouldn't complain too vociferously.
but hey! the wigo engine is doing great.
heh heh.

Good day!

Meron na po ba dito napag change ng CVT fluid for Gen3 Vios?

Same lang ba process sa non-CVT (e.g. drail/fill)?

Or may special process that should only be performed in Toyota service center?

TIA.

Hello,

I need to change the front shock absorbers on my 2015 vios. Should I stick to the expensive OEM shocks? Is the less pricey KYB Excel-G a good alternative? Will the ride quality change if I go for the KYB? Thanks.

Our 2013 Vios is overheating. The mechanic found out that the fan is epileptic. Sometimes, it is running, sometimes, it stops running. And when it stops, he just hit it slightly, and it starts again. He said that the problem is the poor quality of the fan motor. Sakit na daw yun ng mga Vioses.

Can someone recommend a reputable supplier of the fan motor?

Thanks.

a six-year old fan...
doesn't sound like a "sakit".
just replace it, po. the new unit should last until 2025.

Yup. Sakit yan ng gen3 vios. Some fail at 35k kms. I know 1 that failed before 30k kms.

A popular mod is to use an original gen2 fan motor and gen2 fan blade. It fits the housing anyway, is cheaper and lasts longer than gen3 fan motor.

Gen3 motor costs 6500 while gen2 costs only 2500. Denso and new at coolmate makati
