Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[supercar10]

yeap ako din, more than a month after un pa din freebies, mas napaganda pa ng kaunti, pwersahin mo lang kasi pera mo naman un.

kung nag cash out na tapos nabago ung freebies, may karapatan ka na i demand un, if not takutin mo bawiin, takutan lang yan, mga sales agent style yan..

remekta ka na sa bossing nila

hehe. hirap kitain ng pera

the thing is i didn't made a downpayment. does that change the situation? nag commit lang ako verbally with the SA..

before kasi 50k discount, 3m tint full front, seat cover, matt, 3yrs lto, rustproof, 5k gas card. now that its available naging 30k discount na lang and no 3yrs lto and 5k gas card.

actually yung 3m tint last minute niya pa binigay after i was disappointedly leaving without a new car.

You can just add mineral water (Clean water) if needed, it would not harm adding a few amount of clean water. Anyway your radiator fluid will be drained at 40K PMS.

Or you can wait till your next PMS, dealer service will add fluid to it anyway.

To Mile2, sir, yung mineral water ba, yung bottled water na iniinom natin, some other liquid? sorry, if this sounds elementary...I just want to be sure...TIA

yeap mineral water un.. hehe

pero ako para safe dahil bago pa, dun na ako sa certified na coolant..

baka mag ka issue pa kasi sa warranty claims.. hehe

ung dati kong dinadala na sentra, ayun kahit tubig gripo/poso ayos na ayos! hehe. pero halos every two days refill kasi ambilis maubos ng reservoir..

ang nabasa ko dito matagal pa dapat maubos ang coolant, at 60K pa ata..

up ko lang itong tanung ko, anong level dapat ba dapat na mabahala tayo na nandun na ung radiator fluid???

Hello fellow innova owners,

Has anyone experienced being apprehended due to the "no plate, no travel" policy? Are you able to use your cars even without the plate numbers yet?

Thanks in advance. God bless.

Hello Sir InnoBOB,

I got my Innova E VVTi Manual from Toyota Commonwealth. Meron ka po bang contact para mapabilis ang pagkuha ng plates?

Thank you.

AFAIk, it should be distilled water. I have a Shell battery refill water (which is a distilled water) and that its label says it can also be used for refilling radiators.

[BarneyBoy]

Thanx for the info Mile2...

hey folks/friends,

just read about a Dieseltuning chip for Toyota 4D4 engines which give a 25% increase in BHP (from 102-127 bhp) and a torque increase fron 260Nm to 320Nm (costs £375 including VAT in UK). one guy claimed his toyota 2.5 hilux not only became stonger but also more fuel effcient...

any of you guys know if this chip is available here in Pinas and for how much?

[montcp]

Yes sir better to use distilled water kasi ang mineral water mag iiwan ng residue.

[liv]

Hehe, ok lng yung travel nya for me ksi mahaba tlaga yung stick pero nahihirapan lng ako ipasok sa 1st and 2nd gear pati sa reverse ayaw minsan kumagat.

Sa mga nakamanual na innova, ganun pa rin ba condition nya after a while nyo na nagamit sya? mukhang ksi may stopper pa yung sa akin bgo pumasok sa 1st and 2nd gear hehe. thanks!

sa una lang yan... after a while lalambot na rin sya.

[liv]

up for this. maybe at what level should the coolant be at in order for us to be worried and should start to fill up the reservoir... any recommendations? is prestone ok?

there's a low level indicator in the reservoir... coolant should not reach this level to be safe.

yes! you can still use your Innova even without the plates... always bring with you the delivery receipts... bear in mind that the conduction sticker serves as the temporary plates so you still have to observe the number coding especially in Makati.

Distilled or Mineral as long as you are sure it does not contain heavy mineral or contaminants.

In dealer's service area when you watch them make radiator coolant solution they only use clean water not even mineral nor distilled, but it is up to you guys if you want to use distilled water.

Hehehe pag nagpapa PMS ako, di ko iniiwan ang car ko, pinapanood ko lahat ng ginagawa nila, nakikialam din ako paminsan minsan

Thank you sir/ma'am for the reply. God bless.

slightly better pa din ung nakuha kong deal.. nagpalit kasi ng SA..

eto lang style jan, magcanvass ka (or pwede kunwari) sa ibang branch, sabihin mo na mas oks offer nung kabila, matatapatan niyo ba? hehe. ganun lang un!

nung una sabi sakin ng cubao 2-3 months daw ung plaka, e may relative ako sa TQA, kaya daw 2-3 weeks plaka, ayun sinabi ko sa kanila..

may iba kasi pinipilit nila ubusin ung mga ready na nila na plaka, mga pangit ung coding days (typically 0-9 ending) sasabihin nila un daw mabilis lumabas.. hehe.. style lang nila un..

try mo sa TQA bro, hanap mo si aiza

di ko din inexpect na ganun kabilis plaka, basata follow up lang ako ng follow up, at may halong demand tone.. pati LTO liason officer nila kinokontak ko na at ung branch manager

hehe, pero ung plaka ako nalang pumick up din mismo sa LTO kasi matagalan pa lalo pag toyota pa kukuha. pwede naman un..

to add up to this (which i've also learned from this thread) you should also demand an extended copy of your sales invoice in case if it's more than a week old.. because conduction stickers are only good for a week.. and they check this through the date stated in your sales invoice.. changing the date makes it appear that you've got your car just within the week.. so no problem..

Recently been to the showroom with a display of a Vios 1.3E and Innova E vvt-i m/t. Whereas, the Vios' clutch seem light and its shifter has short travel, the Innova's clutch seemed heavier and grabby, while its shifter is truck like in travel.

Experience ko naman sa service ko na vios, it took me a few months before shifting became smooth. At two years old, yung reverse shifting is still rough, I wonder if this can be adjusted... I will ask this probably on the next PMS. On my personal ride na innova, it has been smooth shifting right after i drove it the first time from the casa. Reverse gear, as smooth as the other forward gears. What gives on the different feel?!

hehe.. try mo nalang mag follow up, bastat nag cash out ka na, you all have the right

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

sa una lang yan... after a while lalambot na rin sya.

yeap ma'am liv's el corecto! sa una lang yan, ako din natigasan sa una, hehe, mahirap din ung malambot masyado minsan nag ne neutral ng kusa.. hehe

pero nakapagdrive na ako ng elf truck pero short at soft na ang kambyo niya parang sedan lang

there's a low level indicator in the reservoir... coolant should not reach this level to be safe.

thanks here ma'am liv.. i just thought of that too.. hehe
