Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

leinahtan, by the way, while the manual states a "high" psi, those who made it might not have seen the road conditions in the philippines.

furthermore, asking actual toyota personnel of their professional advice wont yield you such high psi's. i've asked several of them from SA's to mechanics and the common suggestion is 30 psi on all wheels or 32 to 33 at most when carrying heavy loads.

im not a professional, but your high psi is "probably" the culprit why even at 17k pa lang, bumigay na shocks mo.

just my unsolicited observation.

PEACE!

wow, dami ng tips RE side moulding... thank you guys...

kelangan ko na lang eh time since mukang matrabaho talaga... useful tips i got here, i-sandpaper muna yung side na didikitan sa moulding, i-hair dryer, at i-alcohol at pukpukin ng onte... naku pag di pa tumagal yung pagkakadikit ko i-mi mighty bond ko na lang, joke....

ayoko lang kasi isipin na sayang lang 2200 ko dahil natatangal sya, emphasize pa naman nung tiga banawe na wala silang warranty dun sa 3M... iniisip ko kasi sana fogs na lang binili ko kaya lang kasi may use ang side mouldings against door dings...

salamat sa lahat...

* enrico, thanks for the unbiased observation re the moulding. Experience counts a lot. As to your quoted post, it seems your observation was isolated only on the tire pressure. Indeed, it coud be one as the cause of the shock leaks. You may want to backtrack some previous posts of the members re their own share of shock leaks experiences. Just make a search on this thread and read out.

Have anyone replaced their gas spring on back door (back door stay yata tawag ng casa). have mine for replacement, nag leak nung saturday (right side ng door), bumabagsak pinto. Walang stock toyota. have called dasma, alabang and manila bay for warranty, sched pa me pagdating pyesa. imagine more than a year lang innova ko sira agad and thinking na sirain ito since wala silang stock.

guys, share ko lang yung bad experience namin nung april 21. nasa harap kami ng traffic light noon near central bank tapos biglang may kumalabog na motor dun sa left rear bumper namin then nung bumaba yung driver namin biglang humarurot na lang yung motor tapos yun nung tumabi kami sa gasolinahan tanggal yung pintura and may scratches na siya pati yung mudguard namin bumaba at halos matanggal sa lakas ng impact... buti na lang at may kakilala kaming paint shop at kahit half day lang daw kaya yun maayos buti na lang walang yupi... sabi pa nga nung painter pag innova daw mahirap gayahin yung color... ask ko lang kung dupont ba yung type ng pintura natin?? yun kasi yung sabi eh??? malapit na rin pala ako sa 5k pms, anu-ano po ba yung tinitignan dun??

kaya yan ng good car paint shop... nippon paint ang brand para sa toyota. kayang-kaya timplahin yan, just visit a reputable paint shop together with your suking pintor. they will mix the right shade for you. had the same problem before... mine was mica green and they don't even sprayed the whole bumper. parang bago nga ang nilabasan.

It's good under warranty pa. Hassle nga lang.

Mine are still working perfectly fine. More than 3 years na ang Innova ko.

I'm still enjoying 10.5-11 Km/Li daily driver from Bulacan to Makati and back loaded with 8 adults.

Fuel: Shell E10
Motor Oil: Mineral
Spark Plug: Ordinary Denso plugs
Tire Pressure: straight 33 Psi

Go light on the gas pedal

Wahhhh!!! Bakit yung sa akin 2,100 odo reading, 6.6 km/l lang ako city driving. Tire pressure ko is 33 psi (although minsan yata bumababa sa 30 pag tagal)

Ang fuel efficient ng takbo nyo. I thought after the fist 1,000 ok na pero naka 2,000 km na ako ganun pa din.

Sabi ng service advisor, they can not do anything about it dahil computer daw nag cocontrol. Is there a way to reset the computer?

[kumagbehota]

matic ka ba? mukang normal na yan sa matic VVti eh... wala kasing tipid mode di tulad ng manual... nagagawan ng paraan, hehehe

mine is a/t gas variant ... ok naman fc = 9.3kpl (mix city/hiway).

Wahhhh!!! Bakit yung sa akin 2,100 odo reading, 6.6 km/l lang ako city driving. Tire pressure ko is 33 psi (although minsan yata bumababa sa 30 pag tagal)

baka masyado naman mabigat paa mo bro, try driving up to 2000 rpm only.

* bumags, the culprit is none other than the fuse of your foglamps. It is located just below the steering inside the detachable panel. See picture below:



The fuse tends to get loose from the terminal (esp on rough roads) thus creates sparks eventually burns the plastic terminal housing. I got my fuse replaced just 3 weeks ago when I experienced same. It's ok now. Pina-secure ko lang mabuti ng plastic tie. Have yours replaced, otherwise don't use your foglamps yet until the fuses are replaced. Drive safely bro.

Sir, pareho din kaya ito nung innova ko. on/off performance ng fog lamp ko after a year. Minsan wala, minsan meron. This was installed in toyota dasma, and nung binalik ko sa kanila ay kailangan daw palitan ng bulb since ok naman lahat, including wiring and relay. Pero after a couple of weeks umilaw ulit sya ng wala naman akong ginagalaw.Need feedback and help!!!

Bro, medyo mababa pa ang ODO mo at 2K medyo nasa learning mode pa yung ECU mo. Na-try mo na bang ihataw yang ride mo, yung sa akin kasi napansin ko na gumanda ang FC after ng ihataw ko sa NLEX at 140KM/hr.

Basically nasa driving habits din and resulta ng FC, go light on the gas pedal.

My ODO is now at 33K, I reached the FC of 10-11 Km/li after the 5K ODO.

[kumagbehota]

^ bossing me halong city ba yung FC mo nyan? ganda ng figures...

Yours could be a loose wiring connection somewhere. Kung wala ka naman naaamoy na foul smell while your foglamp is lit like we experienced then it's safe to say na ok pa fuse assembly ng fl mo. You see my unit came from TDC (Toyota Dasma Cavite) too. Di ko sa kanila pinalagay foglamp kasi as you well know, total rip-off ang pricings nila. Yung side mouldings nga sa kanila ang installation, pumalpak pa. Two things lang na-experience ko flaw sa foglamp ko (installed at Kid Audio, Binan), once na napundi yung left side pero pinapalitan ko naman agad (yellow bulb na ngayon, as in standard foglamp colour), the other is the same bumags experienced. You can have your foglamp wirings, connections, fuses, switches, and relays checked to a reputable auto electrical shop. Mas maigi kung may kakilala ka. No worries, minor lang yan.

thanks sir!!! any suggestion where i can buy side moulding, body color white with chrome line. pang protection din kasi ito sa mga pinto ng katabing kotse pag nagbubukas.

Tedd, marami nang nagkalat na innova accessories sa market, that includes the side mouldings. Depende sa location mo where you live and the usual route mo papunta sa workplace mo.

I would say it is purely city driving, starting from Quirino Highway SJDM, Bulacan to Lagro) na matrapik, then Commonwealth, then EDSA and Makati and back.

May habit kasi ako na madalas free wheeling lang ako pag downhills at di rin ako umaarangkada ng madalian kung di naman kailangan.

My ODO is now at 33K, I reached the FC of 10-11 Km/li after the 5K ODO.

Magaan na ako sa gas at consious ako about trying to be light on it. Ang travel ko lang is around 10 km a day siguro, office bahay rountrip na yan, bihira ko pa gamitin. The 2,000 km was reached in 5 months. Walang chance to hit it beyond 80km/hr ang takbo sa Manila. Mabilis na ang 60km/hr sa Edsa. Minsan din, dahil kailangan labas pasok sa garahe para makalabas yung nasa harap, ang takbo lang eh ilang minutes. Meron kayang kinalaman ito sa low FC ko?

Mile2, before your 5k ODO, what was your FC?

[zdj385]

Puede yan nakita ko yung mga Innova ng PagIbig Fund naka 70 series saktong-sakto at Goodyear ang tires nya.

Salamat sa info

muka ngang ganyan talaga ma eexpect mong figures since back and forth na yung 10kms mo so it means 5 km ka per trip, then lalamig na naman, then start ka after 5 kms lalamig na naman tapos atras abante ka pa sa garahe...

tsaka mukang kelangan mo ng ibirit yan, kumbaga di ka pa nakakarating tlaga dun sa point na gamit na gamit mo na yung makina...
