Strange observations on the Vios

[fenderbender]

I noticed that the Vios:

1. only has 1 auxiliary fan (I think the Altis has only 1 too)

2. has no engine temperature gauge on its dashboard

Does this mean that VVTi engines runs cooler as compared to other engines?

I also noticed that in a VVTi engine, the intake manifold is facing in front of the car, as opposed to most front wheel drive cars wherein the intake manifolda are facing the cars' firewall. Whatis the rationale for this?

[ghosthunter]

the reversed engine mounting is meant for an overall quieter car.

the vios has a temp warning light. Its an entry level car.

reversed engine mounting also results in smaller engine compartment, according to toyota. i don't know how this was possible, but the shorter hood of the altis is noticeable naman.

trend na yata ito where intake is in the front, K20 of CRV also has the manifold up front. isa daw sa reason ay mas mas manit kasi ang headers kaya inilayo sa radiator.

Yung isang nasa harap, harapan sila actually.

engine temp warning lamp, alam ko its either red blue o wala.

Pwede bang lagyan ng temp gauge ang Vios?

[paulopel]

Ayos yun ah, walang temp gauge ang vios, malaki possibility na hindi yan mag overheat.

[wilcats]

same as the jazz and picanto, mga temp lights lng. iilaw lng yan ng red if its running hot na, or blue if its cold, none if normal. I think magiging common narin eto sa mga future models pa, kc same lng nman parati ung level ng meter nya pag normal diba? so they just placed lights pra to inform you na ndi na normal ung temp mo. imo mas ok panga eto cuz we dont always look at the temp gauge nman while driving diba, pag Light, mas mapapansin mo un agad.


sa intake manifold sa likod, ganito mga jazz and civic 2.0 designs...

hmmm why?

Napasama sa cost cutting yung temperature gauge.

Pwede ka naman din maglagay. Madaming aftermarket gauges sa race shops.

Yung sa Beetle dati pati fuel gauge wala! Hehehe.
