Get a quote from the CASA and from the Toyota parts shops (Toyorama, Celica, Aerodynamic/NGK, etc.). If you want to go EUDM (Red yung brake lamps), there's a seller on the altisclub.

Does Toyota still sell brand new units of the previous gen Altis? If they still do, how much does a 1.6G matic costs?

Thank you

I always complain to TOYOTA about the problem, they always told me to bring the unit to them (TQA) and I already lost count how many times I bring my unit to them (fixing the same problem). Sometimes the SA record my visit sometimes not but I'm sure they have the record of entry on the guard.

There are times that they replace some parts like shock absorbers (nakita ko pinalitan nila), shock mounting, and some parts (i forgot the name) that are attached or included in the shock assembly. Most of the time they just re-tight and/or lubricate (that's what they said) The last time I visit (3 weeks ago) they told me they replaced the shock assembly but still the knocking sound is there. I also complain about "tok" sound when turning the wheels left and right, they said after lubrication the "tok" sound is eliminated but upon observation it is still there.

I cannot understand why they can't fix it.

Dec. 6, the service manager called me and advised that according to TOYOTA MOTOR PHILIPPINES the problem that occur on my Altis is normal that after a thousands of kilometer this knocking sound will appear (but the knocking sound appear in less than a month from the date of purchase, I bought my unit Dec. 2010). I was so shock and get angry after hearing that statement, I immediately advised the service manager that I want to talk to whoever from TOYOTA MOTOR PHILIPPINES release that statement and prepare a written statement on their claim. We have a meeting on Dec. 14, 2012.

I hope TOYOTA MOTOR PHILIPPINES will act on the problem because this unit is still under warranty.
If they don't act appropriately, they lost one customer!!! I WILL NOT BUY TOYOTA EVER!!

We have encountered the same problem with our 2009 1.6V Altis, less than a month after purchasing the unit, I had noticed that knocking sound like its coming from the front end suspension system, I had talk to my brother who bought that car about the problem with the knocking sound of front end to be check by the Toyota service since the unit is less than a month when we purchase, but the Toyota cant find the problem where it is coming from, until the knocking sound got worse until the warranty period elapsed. Since the unit is no longer covered by warranty, we try to fix the unit by myself. I found the problem was coming from steering system in between the steering wheel and steering rack. One of the bolt is loosing, I only retighten the bolt between the universal joint before steering rack. You may not suspect that the bolt is loosen, when you try to tight it up, it feels like it really fit the spline on the other joint, a small clearance occurs between on it, tighten the bolt as you can it will solve your problem.

If i have time during my next service stop, i'll try to look at this and take pics. Thanks for the info.

Mga boss. may leak yung front shock absorber ng altis ko. kasama ba to sa warranty? pati totoo bang void warranty mo pag nagpaservice ka sa labas?

Salamat!

i had similar problem with my non-toyota car (a lancer). i had every visible item examined and, if even if only mildly suspicious (because of its age), replaced.. to no avail.. it finally turned out to be the inner rack end.. the one hiding inside the rubber boot of the rack.. aggravated by a leak in the rubber boot.. 'twas an example of the labor being more expensive than the part..
