Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[starter12]

meron akong stepboard sir, pero ang pagkakaalam ko po nacheck na po yun at wala naman pong maluwag na turnilyo, san pa po kaya pwedeng tgnan?

[Turbocharger]

Tanggalin mo muna lahat ng Stepboard then Road Test mo ulit closely observe kung mawawala yung mga tumutunog para ma-confirm mo na hindi talaga sa Stepboard nanggagaling GOOD LUCK Bro!!!

I do but I never use pressure washer, only mild sprinkle of water from garden hose on per portion basis (this will avoid over watering) . Wet some portion and then follow up with soapy rug (diluted dishwashing soap) and then rinse, then proceed again to other portion. Been doing this for about 3 years now, and does this once every month. Then start the engine for a while to whisk off water from moving parts, turn off engine and dry off excess water.

Just cover the alternator with plastic, all electrical sockets are water tight/proof anyway.

Sa casa nakita ko ang ginagawa nila eh tire black using paint brush lang. Mukha lang makintab pero hindi malinis.

ako din sir ako lng mismo nglilinis ng mga makina ng kotse namin..
dati lagi powerwasher gamit namin tinatakpan lang namin yung alternator chaka hindi namin maxado binubugahan yung parte ng lagayan ng sparkplug pero 3 months ago kasi yung innova namin naging grounded nasunog kasi yung relay niya sa busina (sa me right side po yun facing the engine yung sa may baterya maliit na black po un)mura lang naman siya palitan kaso katakot umusok pa eh, buti bukas pa yung makina nung nasunog siya kung hindi baka buong makina na nasunog. kaya ayun po eversince pinupunasan ko na lang ang makina every once in a while di na ko gumagamit ng powerspray sa engine bay sa body na lang.
bale ang ginagawa ko po water,kerosene,carshampoo tapos yan po yung pinupunas ko dun tiyagaan nga lang po dahil grabe pagka madumi ubos 2 hours mo dito kelangan niyo po pala ng tootbrush para dun sa mga singit singit..pati po yung ilalim ng hood pinupunasan ko din niyang recipe namin makintab po yan pagtapos pramis!

PS: minsan po pala ganyan din ginagawa ko sa body pag medyo nagagaspangan na ako, hinahaluan ko yung shampoo ng konting kerosene pero mas konti, say 50ml per liter of water. MAKINTAB DIN PRAMIS di po totoo na makakasira ang kerosene sa paint highschool pa po ako ganto na ginagawa namin yung SIR po namin(dec 00' sunburst yellow and eldest in the fleet) 9 years old na Alagang kerosene po bago iwax KINTAB pramis!!

sige sir try ko din po tanggalin yung stepboard para makasigurado, makakairita po kasi yung tunog habang tumatagal! thanks bro!

[number001]

Ah ok so it's like the windows defogger na naka stick sa windows? thanks sir!

Yes correct. It looks like the window defogger.

Starter12, yung stepboard mo ba ay yung original Toyota?
If yes, pwedeng yung bracket ang may problema. May mali sa design nila so they had to cut it para hindi sumayad sa ilalim ng body.
Matagal ko na itong na-complain and they failed to address it.

Panong original sir? Sa toyota ko pinakabit sir yung stepboard pero Shark siya. Natry ko na pala kanina tanggalin ung stepboard tapos pinahigpitan ko sir pero ganun pa rin meron pa din tunog, pinatignan ko na lahat yung pang ilalim ko sa shell, pinahigpitan ko na lahat, nawala siya ng sandali pero after kong ilubak bumalik ulit. Habang tumatagal nabbadtrio tuloy ako. Yung sa inyo ba Sir hanggang ngayon may tunog?

Gud Morning po sa lahat ng Innovators

Sencya na po d ako makatulog. Pa reserve na kasi ako ng unit bukas.
and still undecided kung gas or the D-4d.

Innova E gas or J dsl ?????

Tenk yu po sa ibibigay nyung advice....

[albriones]

Mga sir gudpm po, tanong ko lang kung may nakaencounter na sa inyo ng tunog na nagkikiskisang bakal parang turnilyo na d gaano kalakas pero nakakairita pagtagal. Para siyang mahinang tunog ng ring ng lumang telepono. Sa bandang dashboard siya naririnig and lumalabas siya pagmedyo rough yung road pero pag sa aspalto wala naman. Dinala ko na sa Toyota Shaw ang sabi hindi daw sa dahboard kundi sa labas daw yung tunog at hindi naman delikado. Any inputs mga Sir? Sabi sa akin ng service advisor ko obserbahan kung lalakas pa, magagastusan lang daw ako pagpinatgnan ko pa. Ang car ko po pala ay Innova G. Salamat po...

Sir have you try to check your Disc Brake? Baka wala ng bonding yan ganyan kasi ang tunog pag wala ng bonding yung Disc Brake.. try to check as early baka ma sira pa yung rotor ng Disc Brake mo...

Hope this help...

You can remove one front tire and it has peek hole where you can see the disc pad. If the pad is already thin, then have it replace at once. The front disk pad is P3K++/set sa casa, replacement one like RSpec is around P850/set in your suking auto supply store

Kung talagang sa dashboard ang tunog, try to remove the center console/stereo and peek inside the dashboard for loose screws., if you think it was the stepboard then remove the stepboard and observe. How to remove stereo/center console cover... http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58585

One time naging problema ko rin yan, and later on yun palang clip on rear view mirror ko ang pinamumulan ng rattling.

If the car's gonna be used everyday, get the E D4D. Expensive, but cheaper to run.
If the car's gonna be used rarely, get the J VVT-i. Cheap, but costly if used regularly.

Go for E for the simple reason that it is equipped with Anti-lock Brake System which would allow you shorter stopping distance during panic braking at high speeds and at the same time still let you steer the vehicle in the process.

E variant is also equipped with driver side air bags. This protects your face and chest from the steering wheel in the event of violent frontal collision.

Maximum torque or pulling power of J variant is only 200Nm vis-a-vis E which is 260Nm which makes E faster in overtaking slow moving vehicles

E is also more upgrade friendly.

Got Diesel E last July 30

Fuel economy [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]on the first full tank 8.85 Kilometers per liter. Second full tank is now averaging 11.84 kilometers per liter.

Also diesel (esp. D-4D) is more expensive to maintain (vs. gas). I don't know about Innova but for the Fortuner, the D-4D uses more motor oil per oil change so PMS costs is higher. This needs to be factored in when doing running cost comparisons.

Btw, VVT-i is also available for E variant also.

We change oil of the VVT-i every PMS as recommended by Toyota, so cost for oil is pretty much the same as it is on the D4D. BTW, we have a D4D too.

What I'm saying is, the 2.0li VVT-i (1TR-FE) needs roughly 5.6 li of oil while the 2.5 D-4D (2KD-FTV) needs 6.9 li of oil, every an oil change is performed. Now a difference of 1.3 li of oil every oil change is probably not alot but considering that the cost of mineral oil is Php 2xx.xx, semi-synthetic is Php 3xx-4xx, and fully synthetic Php 6xx-8xx, it does add up to the expenses.

The more higher PMS costs + the higher purchase price (+Php 60,000 to the price of VVT-i) are some of the factors that need to examined whether looking to get the gas or diesel. Each has its own pros and cons. High milers (those who travel 15,000 Kms and up per year) should settle for the diesel since they can easily recoup the higher costs with savings from better fuel economy.

Sorry I forgot to mention my context. I live 40kms from Manila so if I use the car everyday, I'd probably rack up more than 20,000kms a year. That won't make me feel good if I drove the VVT-i everyday. So in my case, D4D is the better everyday car.

All of these are estimates. Here's my case:

If driven 5 days a week...
40kms x 2 trips per day = 80kms per day; about 16xxkms per month

VVT-i
80kms / 9km/L consumption = about 9L of gas
9L of gas x PhP40/L (average) = PhP360 worth of gas per day; PhP7xxx per month

D4D
80kms / 13km/l consumption = about 6.5L of diesel
6.5L of diesel x PhP30/L (average) = PhP195 worth of diesel per day; PhP4xxx per month

Ceteris paribus, the D4D is a no-brainer if the potential owner will drive long distances everyday. It easily saves about PhP35,000 worth of fuel a year if driven on my route 5 days a week.

On the other hand, the VVT-i makes sense if the potential owner lives within the metro and will drive short distances. It's cheaper to buy and proven to be more reliable. And if driven short distances, gas consumption and cost won't be much of a problem since it won't be driven on long distances.

Never pa ako nagpa-engine flush, lahat drain lang and then change oil.

Thanks Mile2. I will not alllow casa to use engine flush again.

Mga Sir finally nahanap ko na po yung tunog kung san nanggagaling, nanggagaling siya sa hood, nagalaw lang pala yung rubber so I just have to adjust it, plus hinigpitan ko na din yung mga screws just to make sure, so far wala na ko naririnig na rattling noise. Thanks sa mga inputs ninyo mga sir.
