Sirs question lang po.naadjust po ba illumination ng gauges sa 1.6G?thanks po

[silver V]

Sirs and yun po ba na eco indicator if ON eh talagang on and off ang indicator nya?thanks sirs

[loverlionus]

Sir sa 1.6V yung dimmer nasa same button ng trip meter, yung nasa gauge mismo, try mo na lang.

Yung Eco indicator yes on and off lang. Pag naka-on ibig sabihin economical ang driving style o apak mo sa gas. Nagooff kapag humahataw. kapag inoff mo, di na siya iilaw.

[silver V]

Thanks sir loverlionus.okay check ko rin po.sana meron adjustment po ng illumination hehe

When you hear the sound, you're already on full stop? If yes, try fully depressing the brake pedal and observe if it still continues to be depressed and check your brake fluid level. You might have a leak.

If you hear the whistling sound while moving and braking, have your pads checked. It might be worn out already.

Though usually, when the car was parked for a long period of time and after a carwash or rain, there's a slight sound but it only lasts afetr a few braking action.

Thank you sir, kadalasan pag nakahinto, pag dalawang beses na continuous na apak, kulit nga, parang may blow off yung brakes ko, pero i wll have it check this week. thanks sir

Try having your brakes cleaned first.

What's the maintenance schedule of the ZR engine? Does Toyota implement a 10,000km change oil interval or is it still a 5,000km affair?

AFAIR, with the older models using the ZZ engine (starting with the 9th gen) they first did a 10,000kms service interval which was specified on the owner's manual but when the sludge issue came about, the recommended service interval became 5,000kms (which is the "severe" conditions change oil interval).

hi sirs
i need your inputs with regard to this: Last sunday while i was driving my corolla (10th gen, 1.6g) here in iloilo, when i stepped on the brakes, i heard a rattling sound - i dunno how to describe exactly the sound, but i felt vibrations and rattling underneath and then the "abs and brake" indicator on the instrument panel lit up, I presumed the "anti - lock braking system (abs)" got engaged which i found to be abnormal as i was driving on a "stop and go" traffic.
I went to the casa here, hooked the car to their computer, road tested it and found nothing, they just told me that they have already "deleted" perhaps the error readings on the car's computer and i will have to observe it it will recur, they told me that perhaps the sensor was "nadumihan" of some sort..
What is your take on this guys? is it normal? does it happen? maybe a glitch? thanks in advance..

Sir kung hindi naman umulit, theres nothing to be worried about

[vinj]

^Agree, it is the ABS engaging. What's important is that its checked and any error code is cleared and if the CASA can clean the sensors under warranty then have it done.

I purposely engage the ABS of our car from time to time to ensure that it functions and the pump runs. On our Grandia GL when it still had the skinny 195R15 tires, the ABS would engage regularly under hard braking on uneven roads.

hi guys. anyone here tried doing their oil changes outside the casa? auto-void na ba warranty kapag ganun?

hi guys. anyone here tried doing their oil changes outside the casa? auto-void na ba warranty kapag ganun?

My take is if something related to the engine (or something touched by servicing outside) breaks unexpectedly then maybe they won't honor the warranty; but if its a recall part, or something unrelated to the oil change then i think you can still work it out; your relationship with the CASA will play into this.

In my case, with my 9th gen Altis, i stopped taking it to the CASA after the 10,000kms service. At 80,000kms today, the only thing i had to change prematurely was my warped disc rotors which cost me P1000+ in Banawe (replacement, and it works better than the original rotors which warp easily). I saved quite a lot by having my service done outside and i have the flexibility to really choose the fluids and filters that i want; i even change certain items more often than specified by the service booklet.

When I get my 10.5gen Altis, i intend to do the same (Service at the CASA up to 15,000kms or 20,000kms) then if all seems okay, i'll go back to my own service regimen.

[cjv_justice]

my exact same sentiments sir.

as for the CASA, TQA's too far from our place and I only went there for the 1st 1,000 km checkup the next two I already went to Alabang.

Well the Toyota casa is real cheap with the PMS but I also want that flexibility when it comes to the fluids and filters as well. I'd like to try to try the HKS Super Response FS oil on the Dual VVT-i, it works perfectly smooth with my FD and our pick-up. Also change the air filter to an aftermarket type.

Its almost 15,000 kms on the clock already and will be deciding real soon... maybe 1 more casa PMS then I'll take it outside for the next one. I'll miss those pretty agents on the showroom...

[vinj]

Yeah, after the 20K service you should be fine. Just keep tabs on the internet or with the Toyota guys for any recall issues. For Toyota CASA PMS, we used to go to Toyota Marikina since you can easily see the car being serviced so i'll probably go there for my first few PMS stops before going AWOL from Toyota CASA service.

I intend to use Fleetguard, Baldwin or Wix (once they have the filter for the Toyota 1.6L in stock) oil filters and a drop-in K&N air filter; My 10.5gen unit is in stock at the dealer already so i'll pick it up this Friday or by Monday next week.

* the pretty agents, bili ka ulit ng bagong car. :D

[cjv_justice]

cool! what color variant are you getting? congrats on the car...

[vinj]

cool! what color variant are you getting? congrats on the car...

Pang base model lang ako: 1.6E 6-speed. :D I wanted either black mica or metallic beige, the black came into stock first. I'll then look for the OEM 16s of the V model to upgrade the shoes a little. I also got a slightly used OEM-fit DVD/GPS player from a Clubzz member.

I was deciding between this, the Yaris a/t and even the discounted Innova (pre-2012 facelift). Naubusan ako ng discounted Innova and since i'm happy with my 9th gen Altis which is my current daily drive, plus Toyota made the Gen 10.5 facelift fit my taste and added an newer engine with the 6-speed, pwede na.
