Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[a9828]

1SN and NS40 are different terms based on naming standards (American / European / Japanese). Meron pa yang complications with fit, design, polarity, etc. para na lang hindi kayo malito, when you need a battery, say the exact model, trim, and year of your unit. The stores and manufacturers would already know which specific battery one you need, may database naman yan

Cheaper ba if I bring my own oil?

Yung pinapakyaw mo. Zic A 10W-40

reasonably priced kasi e. kaya kahit every 5k km OCI ok lang. kaso wala na daw stock sa ngayon.

yes cheaper cause for the same price, you can buy better oil.

OT: SIr CB, san kayo kumukuha ng ZIC? kay Jard din? Thanks!

Huwaaat!!! Pati ZIC nagkakaubusan? Kay Jard out of stock?

If you know where and what oil to buy, yes. For the semi-synth oil i bring, it's cheaper and better than the regular mineral oil of the CASA.

Hi guys, meron bang naka nitrogen tires sa inyo? If meron, pa share naman ng experiences, pros and cons. thanks in advance

Dati (when i changed rims/tyres, the nitro was free).

Pros: Matagal magbawas and pressure remain more consistent at running temperature.
Cons: You have to pay for a refill in most cases and you can't just put nitro anywhere; in my case, my refills were all using gas station pahangin; not much of a problem given my tyre never got a flat that time so pressure in all tyres always remained consistent.

share ko lang experience ko kanina.

nagpa-carwash ako kaninang hapon, dumating ako dito sa bahay magdi-dilim na. nung pumasok ako sa garahe, biglang nabuhay yung headlight ng altis. umatras ulit ako. tapus pinasok ko ulit sa garahe, nabuhay ulit.

siguro napihit nung carwash boy yung switch para sa headlight.

accidentally, meron palang auto-switch on ang headlight ng altis. ngayon ko lang na-discover.hahaha

BTW, ang model ng altis ko ay 2010 1.6V pre-facelifted.

ang tanong ko lang po, ok lang ba na laging iwan sa auto ang headlights naten?

TIA.

Hi! We think of buying this car for my wife's car plan. 65K discount outgoing model na daw kasi sabi ng SA. Im currently driving a 1st gen vios and i can say its a very reliable car. since i already own a toyota, we are still undecided and still choosing between this and the civic fb . FB is alot more expensive and has a 1.8 engine which i think a gas guzzler. what things should i consider to choose the altis over Civic fb and all other cars. We also have on our choices all on same price range the 3rd gen vios, jazz,lancer, avanza, accent hb.

^ The Civic is faster and has a better steering feel/response but overall comfort is for the Altis. My sister has an FB and personally i prefer driving the Altis as i always found the Civic dashboard too cluttered already. I also noticed some shift shock in the FB Civic 1.8.

On another note, i have an annoying "tok" that intermittently comes out when braking suddenly (or with more pressure than usual); it came out right after the 20,000km service. I usually comes out after the car has been driven for a while and the brakes are hot already. I brought it back to Toyota Shaw the next day and they cleaned again and put some grease on the calipers/brake pad shims and the sound went away. After a few days it came back. Anyone experience this?

Hi vinj, I also have that "tok" sound. i haven't figured it out yet as to where it is coming from. Like yours, mine is intermittent also. Its not always there but i experience it when i brake.

Another Altis owner i know who posts here (Kinse) also has the same problem on his 2009 Altis. Intermittent as well. I was driving in the rain today and noticed the sound was not as evident as when it's hot and dry. I'll research a little more on this and post any findings.

may ganyan din Vios namin. intermittent "tok" sound sa brake. grease lang din ginawa ng casa.

[JohnM]

Have the same tok on the Vios. Mostly comes out on hard braking. So greasing the back of the pads didn't work? I'll have BGC look at it on my 20k next month.

Any news on this one? I have the same problem on a 10th gen

[vinj]

I don't know what Toyota Shaw did but the sound has decreased significantly. I still get creaking sounds though when i brake while the suspension is going through a hump, dip or bump. I plan to experiment by changing the caliper pins when i have the time.

thank God for this forum and thread.

anyway brief background lang kasi baka it might seem na noob yung ibang questions ko. well, for most of my 10 years, ae92 and ae101 trueno ang gamit ko. then my mom in law, sold me her 10th gen altis A/T for couple hundred grand as wedding gift na rin sa amin ng fiance ko. which is on december by the way. so there, kaya medyo di ko kabisado ang modelo.

anyway it has 40,000+ kms now. just last march, i started using the car more often. i felt na medyo mabagal siya compared dati (kasi dina-drive ko rin naman ito before). as in pag binaon mo yung gas, ambagal talaga niya pumick up as in. hindi naman siya palyado, wala naman tope, smooth idle, and it can reach naman 100km/hr speed as ive tried it. but the acceleration, significantly decreased talaga. pero once it picks up, ok naman, pretty much normal.

anyway, i had its oil changed since then. since sobrang dami na ng air filter element, i instead put in a cone type filter without replacing the tubes.

i reset the ECU. i even cleaned the MAF using contact cleaner. still the same. acceleration is really slow.

ano pa ba posibleng culprit nito?
-plugs di ko pa napapaltan pero i cant even spark plugs causing this significant loss in acceleration
-may mga dapat ba akong papaltan since over 40.000kms na siya? fluids, parts and all?
-tuneup? basically, ano ba ginagawa sa tuneup ng ganitong oto? at saan ok?

kasi sa ae92 ko, tuneup means adjust timing, adjust camgears (adjustble). pihit distributor etc. eh how about sa altis?

again sorry for making such a long post. like i said, sa mundo ng altis, baguhan po ako.

PS: years ago pina-camber align yung oto, since then hindi na bumabalik mag isa yung manibela. pero magaan and all. ano kaya culprit nito? or is this normal?

Thanks vinj for the reply. Will you still recommend the altis? Any other issues?
Sir how about fc? Is it already EPS?
thanks

My FC started with a dismal 5-6 km/l when I got the Altis. But now after just 2.5k on the odo I can go as high as 9-10kms/l depending on the traffic. Worst ko na 6 ngayon, yung tipong super traffic na yan na wala masyadong galawan. Basta wag lang harurot ng harurot and be gentle on the accelerator. BTW my route includes Makati-BGC area so medyo traffic pa. Still hoping na gaganda pa FC ko after the 5k pms.
