So far none rin naman. What variant do you have and what gas did you load up?

*ian28 We have that problem with another car before and the cause was the oxygen sensor, just one possible thing to look at...

So we've had our car for two months, here are some more impressions:

1. We also have the infamous rattling sound, this is heard on selected uneven roads, those which were not cemented smoothly. The sound comes from the base of the driver's side A pillar trim, where it meets the dashboard. Am planning to insert a small piece of foam to see if it will stop, but have not gotten around to doing it. Tried inserting a thin card to see how deep the gap is, but it's very shallow at lesss than 5mm.

2. The ride is still smooth and 'fully cushioned', good if you prefer comfort over 'agility'.

3. Spending a lot of time washing and waxing the car, and browsing detailing sites. The thread "Tamang OC lang..." in the "More than looks" section is very good if you want to know the proper way to take care of your car's paint. You can also join pinoydetailing.com, for even more tips. Our car now has some light scratches, a small dent, and a small chip in the paint. Studying on how to correct these...our water bill increased by P 200 according to my wife, hehehe. Funny thing is how our other car, a 2002 Adventure, now receives the same loving treatment that I've learned.

4. The most useful feature for me so far is the ECO mode, wherein you can see the range of the most economical fuel consumption. This even changed a part of my driving habit, in terms of accelarating from a stop and during overtaking. Based on our daily route, our FC ranges from 11.5-12.3 km/li, you can say it's 50-50 of city and highway driving. Also measured manually twice and it was around 11.5 too.

5. The most useless feature for me is the Bluetooth connection, because I can't get it to work with both a Nokia and a Samsung phone till now.

6. Our mileage is now at 2,500 kms, quite high since it's a daily driver. Even using it on the weekends fully loaded on family trips.

7. Still no plates and counting, was just given more sets of the invoice dated till end July.

Malamang T series na yung plaka mo sir loverlionus.

Last week pinapalitan ko yung busina ko to a louder fanfare type. Maganda workmanship sa wiring sa Autobisyo.

Regarding sa pag detail nito, malapit nang maubos 2nd bottle ko ng QD. Una yung OID tapos this time yung Showtime naman. I go crazy with QD lalo na ngayon ang bilis ng salitan ng ulan at araw, kawawa mga baby natin.

I also have the ECO meter on display always to keep track of my driving habits. As for the Bluetooth feature, di ko parin ginagamit, hehe.

I just have the TOK sound when rolling forward after some manuevering from reverse. Other than that the interior sounds solid without any rattles even when going over Maynilad's mess on the road. sana wag nang sumulpot pa...

[ian28]

So far none rin naman. What variant do you have and what gas did you load up?

1.6V, I am using unleaded from petron.

Thanks, I'll just hope not to experienced it again. It's very seldom that's why it's so hard for them to diagnose if it did not occur.

Bro I also have that TOK sound when accelarating from stop, According to manual its normal they explained it there. I just forgot there technical terms.

[ian28]

Bro's ano marecommend nu na panlagay sa windshield para dumulas ung wiper napansin ko medyo makapit na ung wiper pag matagal na sya naka ON.

[cjv_justice]

Ako ever since I used my glass cleaner kapag nag dedetail maganda na talaga wiping action niya kahit matagal naka-On.

Sa fuel na ginagamit niyo ano tingin niyo mas hiyang sa oto natin? So far I noticed mas maganda consumo ko pag Total Unleaded gamit ko, compared to Petron & Shell counterparts...

As far as I know, this could be claimed under warranty. That's if a quick self fix can't be found yet, and you trust your casa to dismantle and then reassemble these properly.

1.6V, I am using unleaded from petron.

Sige, been using Shell unleaded since we got our unit. Just happened to start using Petron unleaded last week. Though unlikely from the fuel, we'll see how our unit performs as well with Petron unleaded, possibly after another refill.

[loverlionus]

* Autobeat sir yes I read that it can be fixed in the casa. Pero I don't want them to remove the pillar trim and risk breaking any clips, which would make the problem worse. Since they won't let you see how they do it, I'm pretty sure if they break any clips, they won't be replacing the trim...

We use Petron Silver, because it's the nearest gas station from where we live...

Yup, similar input given by an officemate of mine - that if we let the casa open up the interior, that's when other problems may occur, including possibly producing a source of future rattles.

[cjv_justice]

tsk, a lady driving a white 10th gen Corolla was killed when her car was riddled with bullets at Commonwealth Avenue corner Regalado St... saw this at a morning program.

[dekzee]

Spice up your analog gauges, for those with 1.6G or E variants. I'm trying to get that pre-facelift optitron look. just back track this thread to see my previous DIY LED swap post.





For those with A-pillar rattle problems, you can also backtrack this thread as I've already posted pictures on how to DIY your A pillar rattle. It's really very simple. For those who have no time to go back and forth to the casa. The A-pillar pulls right out (pull gently in the direction towards the steering wheel) once you remove the rubber weather strip. Then you can add foam to your heart's content

Nice one, brad. Mukha na siya lalong mamahalin. hehehehehe.

[3raserheads]

Kamusta mga bossing. How's the 6-speed manual transmission compared to the former 5-speed? Masrelax na ba makina nya sa top gear speed of 80 - 100 - 120kph? Kasi sa 9th gen ko from 90kph pataas, hindi ko na type yung roar ng makina, naiingayan na ako.

Sobrang agree ako dito. After passing through our Maynilad-riddled streets here in Las-Pinas, I already have heard that rattle in my A-pillar. As of now nawala siya pero IMHO the rattle naman was very slight, pwede nang di pansinin.

Bwiset talaga ginawa ng Maynilad sa mga kalye dito sa LP, pati sa Friendship Route sinira nila. Buti nalang maganda talaga suspension nitong Corolla.
