Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

Hmm, they're telling me high probability that this may be caused by battery daw baka defective. I didn't take chances na and asked to get this fixed sa casa. They're towing it there on Monday.

Well at least I was at home when this happened. Sana lang ma fix within the week.

Good luck sir. Keep us posted.

OK good news is I got the car back within 30mins of bringing into service center. They were able to unlock both steering and brake. The problem was really the battery, or rather one of the wires connected to the battery was loose. They tightened it, checked, tried starting the engine several times and it seems ok and really to roll.

I no longer have the cold start problems anymore so it seems to be as good as new (whew!)

Natuwa naman ako sa 10k PMS ko sa Toyota Alabang. 2.7K lang inabot ng bill ko, pamatay lang talaga labor ng casa. Also, I'm guessing nagrevamp na sila ng procedures nila for Service. Mas maayos ang appointment system nila and well coordinated. Buti naman natuto na sila.

By the way, meron ba naka Hurricane drop-in air filter sa inyong mga 10 & 10.5-gen Corollas? I tried this sa Strada namin and ang ganda ng performance niya, sana laging ganun for life, hehe. Subukan ko lang sana for my 1.6V by the time na papalitan na yung filter, mas mura kase than KNN e. My cousin discouraged me from trying it kase daw sa mothertruckers daw na ka-club nila medyo hindi maganda. Another friend of mine said that Ford and Nissan daw sensitive mga ECUs nila kaya kelangan pa i-tune. Which kind of beats the purpose of the 'drop-in' feature of the product.

Of course there's a more technical explanation for this so feel free to share your experiences and know-how.

cge po post ko yung breakdown later, nasa glove compartment yung papeles. Regular na Toyota Genuine Motor Oil lang yung pinalagay ko then yung oil filter, car kit and some minor stuff yung naalala ko sa mga kasama. Sa Express Maintenance ako ni-refer nung Service nila and mabilis naman nagawa. Lagi ko chine-check yung oil yung pinalitan naman and they din. Di nako nag request ng engine detailing.

pero nagtaka rin ako sa binigay na quote sayo a. pwede ko rin ba malaman yang sa yo? Curious lang ako baka me kelangan na dapat gawin na ini-skip nila dito sa TAI.

eto yung job estimate sakin ng abad santos...

oil filter P 316
gasket 40
spark plug 348

excel flushing P 292
fuel treatment 583
synthetic oil 5L 3,193
engine detailing 728
misc 130
brake cleaner 380
sand paper 12

total labor P 1,456
total parts 704
total materials 5,318

total cost of repair P 7,478

gamit yata nila oil yung per liter talaga na lalagyan e...sa q. ave kasi charge sakin sa mga previous pms ko puro 4 liters lang pero yung nasa malaking container yung sa kanila

[dekzee]

ayun! it's the synthetic oil that takes the biggest chunk. kung regular oil, around 650 petot lang yan for the 4 liters. tapos you can do away with the fuel additives and engine flushing. pag around 30k or 40k kms ka na lang magpa engine flush. plus yung mga brake cleaners parang hindi naman makatarungan. wala naman ding ganun sa mga bills ko dati. I also paid less than 3k on my 10k PMS sa toyota bicutan, basta regular oil lang.

hanap na lang ng ibang kasa bro. good luck.

[tribal]

650 for 4 liters na or per liter?

dami nga mga dagdag na i think di ko pa naman kelangan...like mga flushing and engine detailing..

pwede ba ko bumalik sa regular oil since twice nako nagpasynthetic mula pa nung 1k kms...puro city driving lang din naman ako so i think nasasayang lang sakin yung synthetic..

Regular toyota motor oil just costs around 155 petot per liter bro. so its around 600+ for the 4 liters. ganyan kalaki ang price difference ng synthetic vs regular. I think wala namang problema kung babalik ka sa regular oil.

[tribal]

by the way,

what you mean by regular?mineral oil pero toyota brand din?

Yes sir. TGMO (Toyota Genuine Motor Oil) parin yan.

[tribal]

i think meron pa din yang mga fuel treatment, engine wash, engine flush etc kaya ganyan ang price. yung ibang casa kasi (bicutan and alabang) walang mga fuel treatment at flushing at 10k pms. di ko maintindihan bakit iba iba sila ng protocol.

mas mahal ang synthetic oil kaysa mineral oil.
the basic procedures may be the same, but the borloloys that accompany them vary, depending on capacity to pay, to resistance to salestalk, to ignorance of the automobile. the knowledgeable tend to spend more on the essentials and less on the borloloys. for example, i am not that knowledgeable and i personally do not want to spend more for synthetic oil, engine flush, fuel treatment, manicure and pedicure, kape lang at diaryo in an airconditioned room, ok nako.

[dekzee]

... i personally do not want to spend more for synthetic oil, engine flush, fuel treatment...

+1 on this. same here bro.

[tribal]

so is it possible na sabihin ko wag na mga engine flushing at fuel treatment?pati labor ba bababa kung sakali di ko sinama yun?i think di ko naman kelangan ng mga engine flushing or fuel treatment e...

iniisip ko nga sa mga gas station nalang ako magpa 10k pms since palagay ko di naman masisira yung makina para habulin ko yung 3 years warranty

[cjv_justice]

ako rin ganyan lalo na pag every 5k kms yung recommended na change oil.

on another topic, yung factory installed ba na spark plugs ng Dual VVT-i natin ay Iridium na? or just the regular ones?

if they didn't change the spark plugs at 10k pms, baka iridium yan. just a guess though
