Toyota Avanza Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[docguni]

meron nga akong nabasa sa ibang thread na yung nabibili nating blings like plastic chrome handles or anything chrome effect, kapag di mo sya inalagaan ng punas madali syang mag fade. like, lagi syang basa tapos maiinitan ng araw.

buti na lang yung nakakabit sa amin d pa nagkakaganun. alaga sa weekly car wash pati na rin chrome cleaner. so dapat pala yung mga nagbabalak maglagay ng chrome blings ay may konti tyaga sa paglinis nun. or kung tamad maglinis wag na lang cguro maglagay.

Mukhang hindi accurate ang FC computation using an empty fuel tank computation as the basis of FC kasi kahit umilaw ang fuel indicator mo, meron pa ring naiiwan na reserve fuel sa loob ng tank. Mukhang mas accurate na gawing basis yung full tank for the computation of FC.

Ganun po ba yun? Kasi once naglight up na yung fuel indicator dun ko kinukuha yung km reading nya, then devide it to the amount of liters na kinarga.

Mali po ang paraan ng pagsukat ng FC. As much as possible try to eliminate factors na makakapalakas ng kunsumo ng gasolina. Since bago naman unit mo, ok ang fuel system at makina, then make sure tama ang tire pressure, and most importantly start full tank, so as to limit vapor space on your fuel tank.
Sa case mo you only fill your tank to 1/4 so may 3/4 vapor space, maraming gasolina naging vapor at hindi napunta sa makina unlike kung puno ang tangke halos walang vacant space for the gas to evaporate.

Ganun po ba yun! nag eevaporate yung gasolina sa loob?. Diba sealed naman yun. If ever magkaroon ng evaporation di ito maka escape dun rin lang ang bagsak nun.

I'll try your suggestion! This thursday papunta me ng cabanatuan. Thanks

*qtshecu: puede po credit card for the checkup. yun gamit ko nung nag pa 1k checkup kami sa otis.

ito naman yung 2-tone na avanza dun sa MAS.
sorry medyo mabagal lang internet connection ko.

grabe ang ganda ng combination color thanks sa pictures..

[rcastro]

parang mas gusto ko ito kaysa sa 2-tone na black na avanza in a previos page.

mga magkano kaya ang mag pa paint for chage color?

parehas tayo sir mas gusto ko itong combination color at hindi malaki tignan .

[meledson]

Bro ang sabi ni meledson matutulog..he he he...hindi manunuhog....anuba yan....magkasintunog din naman eh.

Pre, paki puntiryahin ang mga models ha. Laks ang dating na may malaking camera. :D

[instech]

Same case nga tayo, sabihin ko na rin sa 5k check ko.
Ito yung sa unit ko.

Hi mcjoen, ganyang-ganyan nga din ang sa unit ko na Type J. Type J or G ang Avanza mo? Kailan mo nabili? I got mine last month. Naisip ko tuloy baka batch problem ito. Somewhere sa engine (i think sa may radiator) may napansin akong production date na parang September 2007. Dati na kaya ang ganitong defect? I wonder how many more Avanzas have this problem?

[instech]

Same case nga tayo, sabihin ko na rin sa 5k check ko.

Hi mcjoen, tinitingnan ko ulit ang photo na inattach mo, i assume Type J din ang Avanza mo because of the interior color. Sa Type J lang kaya ang ganitong problem?

[firsttimemo]

Tempting ba na mamili?

Buti na lang wala pa ang 13'th month pay ko. Kundi baka ma-out side di kulambo ako ni Mrs.

Nasubukan nyo na ba na matulog sa loob ng Avanza? hehehehehe

Hahaha Ka-Andres ka pala bro meledson (joke) - mabuti nang matulog sa sariling sasakyan kaysa tamaan ng hagupit ni misis... hehehe

Nagpa-quote ako sa toyota cubao, 590k ang Avanza 1.3 J, 200k downpayment, 22k for 24months.. color champagne lang ang available, gusto ko sana yung red.. Tint, mating, seatcover, undercoat ang freebies.. tinanong ko kung pwede bang lagyan ng rear window defogger additional daw ako.. same din powerlock and alarm.. Gusto ko din palagayan ng roofrack para sa kargahan.. mga 270k lahat ng cash-out.. ok na ba ito mga pre.. hehehe

Haaaaaaaaaaaay!!! hirap magback read almost 4days lang akong nawala haba na ng post.... ganyan din yong sa akin kala ko naman nahila at fault nong nagvacuum/blower sa carpet ng accidentally matumba and mabuhos ang 5gal mineral h2o.

mine is G a/t... got the same problem

may i know kung anong ginagamit mong chrome cleaner? sa akin kasi either washing or waxing pareho lang kung anong sa body.

for me, i also like the two tone violet yong kay lilcristo. kaya lang lalong takaw pansin. grabeng dating! thanks for posting the pics!

Halos same ang DP natin, sa akin 195k. 15k insurance, 16.5k ang chattel at 7.5k ang registration. All in all 234k cash out ko. 10,500 monthly ko for 4 years.............IMO... Mukhang mataas ang total cash out mo.( kasama na ba sa total cash out mo yung additional accessories na ipapakabit mo?)

Suggestion ko lang. Huwag kang magpalagay ng roof rack sa Toyota sobrang mahal. Double the price sila. Sa banawe ka. Tutal wala naman mavovoid sa Warranty eh basta walang butas. Katulad ng sa akin.

Regarding sa freebies magpadagdag ka pa ng Early warning device, side Visor at car cover. Lahat yan nakuha ko. Sa Marikina ako kumuha unit ko. Same ownership lang sya ng cubao. Kung gusto mo. I recommend kita sa S.A ko.

As much as possible para mas accurate, use same gas station at same pump when you re-fill.

Mga Co-Avanzers share ko lang 'tong ini-email sa akin from a good friend of mine.

[SIZE=3]Subject : Ways to GET a BETTER Mileage on the GAS PUMPS and save $$$$$$$$$$$$$[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2][SIZE=3]Pumping gas.... good things to know.[/SIZE]
[/SIZE][SIZE=2]I've been in petroleum pipeline business for about 31 years, currently working for the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline here in San Jose, CA. We deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period from the pipe line; one day it's diesel, the next day it's jet fuel and gasoline. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth:
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.) [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump' [/SIZE]

may i know kung anong ginagamit mong chrome cleaner? sa akin kasi either washing or waxing pareho lang kung anong sa body.

dati kung ano car wax yun din gamit ko sa chrome lalo na dun sa blings. kaso halos every week kailangan kung apply. plus meron maliliit na yellow spots na d ko maalis. so canvass ako maganda chrome cleaner. right now, im using turtle wax chrome cleaner. highly satisfied ako. super kintab ng mga blings. no spots whatsoever. parang lagi brand new. plus d makakadamage sa paints. 190 pesos lang dun sa ace hardware ko binili. worth it. estimate ko one bottle would last a year or even more.

yung ibang chrome cleaner parang 400-500 tapos may fine print na dapat avoid maapply sa car paint.

sis jem,

me napanood ata ako noon sa mythbuster, na-confirm nila that a soft drink cola is a a good cleaner of chrome platings.

dito na talaga yata ang official confederation ng mga owners ng avanza. the other site na nacreate din ng isa pa tsikoteer (http://avanzaclubphilippines.freeforums.org/) wala na ibang nagpost. the last post august pa.
iba talaga dito. mabuhay ang site na 'to.:1stplace:

[AvAnzA_84]

sir bisoy: thanks for the informative article.

to all avanzer: The first time around, i full tank my avanza after getting it from the casa. Travel dito, travel doon. Every time I full tank, Lista/reset ang odometer reading. Since day 1, I maintained a logbook of all gas ups (full tank and not full tank) and distance travelled. I compute my FC everytime I full tank. Night time or early morning lang ang gassing up ko. I believe this scheme gives me more accurate FC log. So far, 12KpL ang average FC ko with mixed driving and top speeds of 150kph. The most ideal speed I think is 80-100kph in order to get a decent 12-15KpL. Hope this helps........
