Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[Mile2]

pili ka lang ng gasoline station na maganda yung loc at maganda ang itsura, maski na big player or new player yan basta pangit at luma ang station malamang madumi din yung krudo nyan... yung VVTI ko 9-10 km/l ang FC sa city, pero super tipid mode yan...

Kahit Big Player meron din balasubas, Me and my brother chances upon a Shell station in San Juan unloading to its reservoir from six drums of Diesel loaded on a Ford Fierra (Sigurado akong galing ito sa PA-IHI). Nung sinita ko yung pinaka branch head nila natakot at mabilis na ipina-alis yung hose galing sa drums.

*Mile2 siguro kung nakunan mo ng snapshot yung mga balasubas baka naibigay sa iyo yung isang drum with diesel, he he he!

sir, pwede nyo rin try Leather Land sa west ave malapit sa atoy's at concept one, supplier yun ng leather seats sa toyota ortigas at quezon ave, pina leather ko kasi yung seats ng innova G ko, eh inalok nya sakin yung matting nya, covered halos lahat ng flooring, maganda sya, customized for innova, pwede ka pa mamili ng kulay, 5,500 ang price pero natawaran ko ng 4,500

Sir, how much is the set of leather seat covers at Lether Land? Sa Toyota Marikina kasi, it is about P14K. D pa ako nakakapagshop around until now.

Hello to all!
I have been reading this thread for more than a month now and got my Innova last sat (G M/T VVTi).
I got many info from this thread so keep it coming guys!
Just one question though, I would like to replace my floor mats...please tell me your best recommended brand for this.
Thanks a lot in advanced!

You can check at ACE Hardware in SM Mall of Asia for the floor mats especially designed for Innova. I bought a five piece set for P2,300.00 around November last year when I bought my innova. It is light grey in color and does not slip because of the underside spikes and made of thick rubber material. Best value for money in my opinion. Yung ibinibigay ng casa na free e walang kuwenta, madulas kaya puede kang madisgrasya.

nung tinanung ko sa toyota ortigas yung D4d issue, sabi nila wala na daw, 2005 and 2006 yung may problema

May issue pa rin ang D4D. I saw a month old Innova being checked for Smoke and hard starting. Yun SA na kakilala ko nagsabi sa akin sa mas maraming nga raw ang pinapasok na D4D sa kanila kaysa VVTi for repair.
Talagang may issues pa. Swertehan lang talaga sa unit ng D4D.

Magandang araw po sa lahat ng bago at dati ng members ng forum na ito.
Ngayon lang po ako nakapag-log in sa dami po ng workload. May i-share
lang po ako sa inyo at ang inyong comments ang gusto ko. Nakabili po ako
ng Innova G A/T Diesel last week po.


Sir, ask ko lang po kung ilan ang FC ninyo sa innova g a/t ninyo city, highway? (brand new po ba or 2nd hand). Im planning to get an innova diesel A/T and hope to get help and information from fellow tsikoteers since im new here. thank you in advance sir.

My FC sa city driving = 9.2 l/km, Brand new. Mas maganda na ngayon ang Diesel A/T kase di sya maingay, poweful sa arangkada, mas matipid na
na-improved nila yung D4D technology, wala na usok na maitim, akala mo
de gasolina sya sa tahimik ako mismo nagpapatunay palagi na muntik mabangga ng tao pag trapik kase pag di sila nakatingin di nila dinig yung tunog makina..(not exagerrated..) So, payo ko mag diesel ka na wag ka lang magpa diesel sa mga cheap-cheap na fuel stations...Yun lang payo ko

*timo07,
sir, thanks sa info. consider ko din ito.

[yellowjip]

hello good day mga sir...ung stereo ba ng innova E ay MP3 compatable?

[roberto_minosa]

hello good day mga sir...ung stereo ba ng innova E ay MP3 compatable?

Yes sir...MP3 CD po. Lahat po yata ng stereo ng Innova dito sa Pinas MP3 capable. Sa ibang markets kasi meron casette player lang. Dito po kahit J variant naka MP3 CD player. Di ko lang po alam kung yung mga high-end variant may USB port para sa mga MP3 player.

[kristian 13]

Hi, ano po ba yung mga dapat i-check pag 10,000 pms?
schedule na namin kasi yung innova next week. Thanks.

kasamahan ko dito sa upisina sya mismo ang nag ku kwento sa akin meron siya stock na 2 drums sa kanila galing sa paihi then yong 2 drums na nawala galing trailer tank papalitan ng tubig tsk! tsk! ang masaklap pa dito sila na nakatipid ng more than P10/l sila yong nakikinabang purong diesel tayong umaasa lang sa mga gasoline station na nagbabayad ng tama ang syang biktima ng diesel na nahaluan ng tubig hayyy!

D4d issue is still an issue. Saw 2 innova D4d at casa hooked on OBD and they are not even a year old, technician says it is tested because of stalling problem and they are looking at the failing supply pump.

These affects only few, but not the majority. Just be careful on choosing Gas Station when filling your diesel.

May issue pa rin ang D4D. I saw a month old Innova being checked for Smoke and hard starting. Yun SA na kakilala ko nagsabi sa akin sa mas maraming nga raw ang pinapasok na D4D sa kanila kaysa VVTi for repair.

Mile2 and boyT, thanks for the clarification, bantayan ko mabuti tong bago kong innova, hndi pa pala ko nakakasigurado, hope everything turns well.

Sir, how much is the set of leather seat covers at Lether Land? Sa Toyota Marikina kasi, it is about P14K. D pa ako nakakapagshop around until now.

pina leather ko kasi yung mismong seats ko, yung nakatahi na, parang sa fortuner kaya wala kong idea sa price nung leather seat cover na kinakakabit, but here's the number of the owner of Leather Land, Jerry Bautista 3765364, 4976429, you can ask him directly.

[Jdex]

mga sir, tanung ko lng po yung mga owners ng Innova MT diesel, nanginginig rin po ba ang cambio nyo or may nararamdaman ba kayong vibration katulad po nung sakin, kasi comparing po sa sedan na gas na wala po talaga kong nararamdaman na nginig pag hawak ang cambio, iniisip ko lng po kung normal ba to or may kelangan ako ipaayos, sa AT kasi na diesel hndi rin sya nanginginig, smooth na smooth pag umaadar ka, sa MT ko kasi, mapa neutral man o umaandar mararamdaman mo ang vibration.

congratulations! you made a wise decision in choosing diesel. enjoy!

relax ka lang . . . kung hindi nanginginig yan, baka VVTi nabili mo! hehehe
its absolutely normal!

i hope people in this thread will not be offended on what im about to post. this is just a plea on my part. just take it with a grain of salt at wag mapipikon. so here it goes . . .

admittedly, some 2005-2006 d4ds had problems. but i would like to believe that a company as big as toyota would not risk its reputation by not immediately addressing this problem. a car company which is about to overtake ford as the best selling automaker in the world is not so dumb to take this sitting down and sabotage its efforts to be no.1.

while im sure some of the members here mean well, i hope they answer the question in the context of whether it is still related to the "original" supply pump problem or not. because, IMHO, it is quite misleading to say that just because a d4d chokes or stalls, it is immediately because of the "original" problem! you may not say it, but it is the impression that one gets specially if the question was asked in the context of the "old-original" problem.

there are several reasons why a car chokes or stalls. one would be contaminated diesel from ill-repute gas stations/companies(which we all know is rampant nowadays with the exponential increases in the price of diesel). second, use of additives not recommended by the manufacturer. third, poor maintenance or driving in flooded areas. and so on and so forth. i could go on with the list.

the point is there is no "perfect" car. even other diesel manufacturers im sure have encountered such problems. heck, even a gasoline car chokes or stalls.

if we are not too sure if it is due to the "original" problem, nakikisuyo ako that we refrain from answering the question or "qualify" our answer if its not too much to ask.

we might say that "yun yung sinabi ng kaibigan kong mekaniko sa kasa". but we all know that the mechanics are no different from our "barberos", if you know what i mean.

whether we like it or not, such "insinuations" are like swords hanging over the heads of diesel owners. specially over a big investment like buying a car.

it also leaves a bad taste in the mouth that this are coming from a few VVTi owners.

we are one big happy family here and so it is my hope and plea that we be more circumspect.

thank you.

PEACE

My intention of leaking out information was not to bad mouth or down D4d, but to give others a head up. If ever I have a D4D I will still spell out its problem no matter how anyone sees it not fit. As I have mentioned in my last post "be careful on choosing your gas station".

Vibrating shifter of VVTi...you can not compare it to sedan! M/T transmission of VVTi is directly coupled with the engine while the sedans uses cable only. To minimize vibration, you can use Synthetic Oil and Iridium (Denso IKH20) spark plug to tapper the idling and vibration.

Failing supply pump is not an isolated case on D4d, it affects even other brands, in my old diesel days I have removed my Isuzu 4FB1 supply pump and replace it with a large fuel filter with water separator and manual pump to keep it having enough diesel to supply the injectors.

[Mile2]

If I may add this:

This now from D4d users and not VVTi.....

Salamat sir sa info. I totally agree with your insights. Salamat din po sa advice. I'm now a proud owner of a toyota innova!!! got my unit (2nd hand, 1 year used - 15T kms) last week. it's a diesel AT E variant with some accessories. Used it agad sa sucat-dagupan trip and got a 10.73 km/L FC (madalas kasi hataw kahit long driving -- to shake-off carbon deposits kung meron man). I'm very pleased with its performance overall.
Will have to bring it to casa sa tuesday for 15T kms. PMS. To those who can comment, san better toyota alabang or bicutan? in terms of quality of service?
