me? ma-alaga? i celebrated my car's out-of-warranty by having my change oil in the neighborhood gas station! and that's about the only TLC i do.
now i bring it into the casa only for collision repair (in-house insurance, e. no hassle.)
yes, you can probably call me lucky..
heh heh.

pwede ba DIY mag palit ng charcoal canister?

[vvti2.0]

Yup.

Heto yung sa manual ng Innova VVTi at Hilux VVTi, Vietnamese kasi yung sa Innova hehehehe...

Just do the opposite sa installation.

I also encountered this problem in my Innova's fuel tank last year. I often wondered what the thumping sound I hear under the vehicle. I later found out it was coming from the gas tank after I observed the vehicle with the engine off in my garage. It was probably the tank expanding/collapsing due to the vacuum inside.

Eventually, the tank started to leak. Malas ko pa I was in Anilao at that time. I found a talyer and the mechanic placed a rubber strip under the leak to minimize the flow. Then I brought it to Toyota C5 where they replaced the gas tank with a brand new one.

After 8 months, I noticed my tank leaking again... at the same spot! I went back to Toyota C5 to complain and informed them that they should have replaced the charcoal filter and filler cap when they replaced the tank. I said it was likely the cause why the tank leaked again. Or maybe, they really did not my old tank and just repaired it that's why it leaked at the same spot again! The car is still in Toyota and I'm waiting for their assessment.

What do you think?
