Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[samcoy]

Thanks guys sa reply. Though mas nagagandahan ako sa 10th gen corolla lalo na yung latest I can't stop from admiring the speed of civic. Lupet talaga. Sers, are you referring to 1.6 variant lang ba o pati 2.0 din?

[cjv_justice]

* samcoy - for the speeding 10th Gens puro 1.6 variants nakikita ko. yung 2.0 Altis siguro pwede lumaban sa 1.8 na Civic FD... but then me 2.0 rin yung FD e.


I just got back from UST with my wife. On the way we took the Skyway both ways to do a little stretching on the car. When I got up to speed I kind of felt the car was 'hovering' when it reached 130 kph. I felt a little nauseous for a few seconds, hinga lang malalim then nawala. Nangyari na ba to sa inyo? Nung pabalik wala na di na naulit, but it was weird feeling like that. Ganun pala suspension neto.

OT: Yung toll fee sa Skyway Northbound P120 (Bicutan on-ramp to Buendia), pero yung pabalik mas mura P85 lang hanggang Sucat exit pa. Samantalahin na muna bago tumaas ulit...

I believe the newly opened part of Skyway fr Bicutan to Sucat has been done poorly bec. when I traversed that portion twice already, I felt so sick to the stomach. Once the vehicle entered that segment, it suddenly began to shudder in an awkward forward backward motion. But the rest of Skyway fr. Buendia all the way to the old Bicutan exit (for those going beyond Sucat) was smooth.

anak ng tinapay naman o. nilipad ng hangin narin yung natititra kong TQA For Registration plate ko kanina, pagpasok ko sa garahe yung naka-ipit nalang ng screw at washer yung naiwan. pareho na silang wala, bad trip!

:waah:

pag matulin na talaga sir medyo parang lumulutang na tong altis. I think the suspension is really not designed for high speeds but more for comfortable city driving. You may also want to check your tire pressure since from the factory minsan nasa 34-35 psi ang tire pressure, way above the recommended 30psi. that may contribute to the hovering feeling.

* number 001 - actually naramdaman ko lang yun after umakyat sa ramp then got to at about 120-130 kph. I felt different then wondered 'WTH?' Papunta palang kami nung nangyari yun. Si wifey naman walang naramdaman.

* dekzee - yeah I'm beginning to get that impression na nga e. check ko nga ulit as I get used to the car.

regarding tire pressure, 30 yung recommended dun sa sticko sa pinto ng driver e. I'll have this changed to nitrogen next week... baka nga sobra nakalagay, di ko pa ginalaw ever since dineliver.

hi there altis owners...i have a 2009 altis 1.6v...does anyone know where the location of the engine number is? thanks in advance

[<smash>]

*cvjustice - i've driven my altis in SCTEX with a maximum speed of 160kph and the same in the skyway. it was ok in the SCTEX but a bit floaty in the skyway as you experienced. maybe wider tires or stiffer suspension will make the handling better.

Sir, check your owners manual. It is extremely helpful.

so baka nga yung pagkakagawa nung daan sa Skyway din yun culprit, just like sir number001 said earlier...

salamat sa feedback.

need your inputs mga sirs,

has anyone with the 3zz engine experience a diesel engine like noise at a certain rpm range? yung sa akin it's been almost a month na merong rasping noise (as in tunog diesel talaga) between 2000-2400rpm in certain instances (most of the time naman wala, i already have 30k on the odo). there's no loss of power or any dashboard warnings. I brought it to the casa a few weeks ago pero hindi namin matiyempuhan during the road test. the mechanic said it might be the ethanol in the fuels. hindi ako naniwala but i still gave it a try by filling up with blaze100. awa ni lord andun pa din yung sound at certain instances (ang hirap talaga i-reproduce during road test).

anyway, i did some research and came across this site na parang sapul na sapul. tempted na nga kong gawin to if not for the warranty:

will try to bring it again to the dealer if I can find time, i just want to know kung meron dito na may same experience.

Bro, I may have the same situation as yours. I am experiencing a vibartion in the engine bay when I am about to take off and reach the 10-15 kmh speed range. It will eventually disappear when the car is running at moderate speed which is 20kmh. This sound is audible if the cabin has no audio playing inside. Parang feeling ko na may kumakalnsing na screw somewhere pag nag throttle ako. Pag stand still yun kotse and I pump on the gas pedal that sound is not even there. It will only be felt kapag paandar pa lang yun car na tama ka parang nasa 2000-2400 rpm.

Yup. mukhang pareho tayo. I bet it's that pesky intake manifold. wala namang issue to regarding engine performance but the sound is just annoying. and ang hirap i-reproduce pag nag road test sa casa kaya ang hirap ipaayos. o well... i'm really tempted to drive in that screw hehehe. will try it again with the casa one last time this week

[hurricayn]

I'll also have mine diagnosed on my 10K check-up. It's quite annoying kapag alam mo meron ka naririnig na kalansing.

Bro let me know if casa mechanics can determine that its coming from the manifold. Di pa ako confident to try the DIY solution in the weblink that you posted recently.

plano ko i-print yung DIY solution from the web then pakita ko dun sa mga SA. kahapon, I drove over 60kms na wala naman yung sound and the engine is running very smooth. hirap talaga tiyempuhan

Please check my ad, still have last remaining Simota drop in performance air filter for E140/10th Gen Corolla

[harold13]

will that solve the problem?

[<smash>]

Need help in choosing please. For my wheels upgrade, I'm thinking of getting 18" rims with 45 or 40 series tires. I don't plan to lower the car so I'm thinking maybe 18 with 45's would make it look better.

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks in advance!

[mda]

I'd suggest closest to stock overall wheel+tire diameter.

What's the stock on the Altis?

[cjv_justice]

exactly the same as our 1.8S FD sir...

good hunting on your wheels smash. tapos na ba HL mo?


personally I think medyo tricky pagpili ng rims for the Altis 10th gen...
