Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[timo07]

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?

Yun bang tunog yung parang langitngit? Kung pinakabit mo ulit yung stepboard bago ka nagtest drive, it might still be the stepboard. Nagyari sa akin yun na kapag uneven ang kalye, may lumalangitngit sa sasakyan. Ang ginawa ko ipinadrive ko sa misis ko tapos inobserbahan ko kung saan nanggagaling. Silip dito at silip doon, binubuksan ko pa pinto ng kaunti habang umaandar. Ayun nadiskubre ko sa stepboard nga. Yung stepboard may endcaps na black plastic di ba? Higpitan mo yung mga screws na plastic, dahan dahan lang at baka bumigay dahil malabot lang iyon, pangkapit lang kasi nung endcaps sa aluminum board. Sa akin nawala na yung tunog nung mahigpitan ko.

Isa pa palang nangyari sa kin, yung orig ko na spare tire lock -yung mounting screw nya sa frame eh kumakayod doon sa alloy mags, ayun gasgas. Ang symptoms nun, langitngit din habang nalulubak ng bahagya yung sasakyan. It is better to observe kung may ibang magdrive ng kotse mo. Mahirap matunton kung ikaw din ang nagmamaneho. I hope makatulong.

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.

Nahuli pala yung mga suggestions ko!! Anyway, it's good to hear na solve na ang problem mo.

sa innova ko naman yung airbag ang ingay bwisit kelangan daw iwan yung innova kasi baklas daw dashboard........... serious? badtrip. dami nako naging prob sa innova ko. una pag kuha ko ng auto hindi mabuksan ang gas lid so bumalik pa ako sa casa that same day para mabuksan. next na naging prob ko tabingi yung height, binalik ko sabi ko tabingi hindi man lang mineasure hindi daw, sabi ko tabingi talaga yung left at right. sabi sakin sir di talaga pantay ang likod at harap. ginawa pa akong bobo. this is from TOYOTA na malapit sa valle verde that time kasi sial lang may available na mdium silver.

. masmababa ang left side sa right side. sabi nga ng iba papalitan ko ng bagong unit may isa kasing doctor nagrereklamo sa toyota dahil pabalik balik siya lemon daw camry niya. ayaw palitan ginawa niya nagpagawa siya ng letyter sa abogado na palitan ang camry niya kundi mag sasampa siya ng kaso. ayun napalitan pero inupgrade nalang niya into land cruiser sa bwisit niya sa camry.

dinala ko sa Toyota Otis buti pa sila kahit di ko sa kanila binili ang kotse pinapunta nila ang taga planta para silipin ang sasakyan ko sabi may pinalitan daw na spring at shocks pero medyo mababa pa din driver side so ibabalik ko ulit ........... HAY TOYOTA................

tnx po sa inyong lahat sa info.

I went for the J D-4D....resolved na po RAW ung stalling and Black Smoke issues????

nagsugal na naman ako pero ok lang since i'm betting for the crowd favorite!


tnx po uli.

good am Sir.
na experienced ko rin po ung un-even elevation. mas mababa 'yung left side (driver side) compared sa right side. got mine repaired by TMP (Toyota Motor Philippines) * TMBC (Toyota Manila Bay). pinasok ko ng july 29, nakuha ko rin the following day. pinalitan nila 'yung apat na rubber. ayun awa ng Diyos pantay na... complain mo sa dealer mo. better talk to their CRO (Customer Relations Office) para mas mabilis action sa complain mo.

Good Luck & God Bless!

Tiempuhan lang talaga. Sa november, 2 years na innova ko and I'm very happy with the performance. Tingnan mo yung previous post, CAMRY, may problema. May nakita ako mismo sa Ortigas flyover, Mercedes na Kompressor, bagong bago dahil wala pang plaka, nakatirik sa gitna ng flyover, nakataas ang hood at nagtetelepono yung may-ari. Sa Kia Carens, may mga posting na ng paguusok, faulty aircons and fuel consumption issues.

^Tama yung nasa taas. D4D problems are somewhat sensationalized. Just like Hayden Kho or Annabelle Rama. Don't believe everything you hear.

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

went for vvti, ahihi, kabado sa D4D woes..

nice to hear from those new D4D buyers!

either way, it's an innova! love to drive.. just drive safely..

nung friday, sa may marcos hiway, ung innova 2009 model, nabangga sa pwet ng jeep, sa kasagsagan ng gitgitang traffic..

aray ko po! nung nakita ko.. hehe. mahirap talaga ung mga jeep na un! hehe

AFAIK, the 2008 model are the problematic ones... so far naman e wala pang members with 2009 model na nagrereklamo about the black smoke, choking and hardstarting issues.

this is definitely GOOD NEWS to current and would be D4d owners.

Hi, planning to get an innova this december, have some questions that i felt have not been fully answered despite my searching in the forums.

I lived and works in QC. daily drive - 20km. the innova will be replacing my aging corolla which i find a bit cramped for my growing family.

weekdays - 1 adult
weekends - 4 adults + 2 babies

Here are my questions:

1, VVti (M/T) vs VVTi (A/T) vs D4D (M/T) vs D4D (A/T) -

i know that the gas variant will be more quiet/carlike and maintenance/acquisition cost will be cheaper at the expense of mileage/gas prices.

diesel variant cheaper in the long run...

My question is;

which has better acceleration? (the spec sheet said that D4D have higher torque but VVTi have higher top speed) So from stoplight to stoplight. which is faster?


2 D4D (M/T) vs D4D (A/T) -
for the diesel models. did toyota made a mistake when they reported the M/T have max torque of 200Nm vs A/T 260Nm? Does this mean that the AT model will be quicker from a full stop?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Bro, are you sure it was 5,500 in Coventry square for a synthetic leather? May warranty ba against chipping and workmanship? Lederland has one full year warranty against chipping/cracks and workmanship and you can see that the materials used are really of high quality, puede mong punasan ng WipeOut and no fading or chipping. I have inquire at most upholstery shops like SeatMate, Lederland and Boy C and they have almost the same price range 7.5K

If you want to upload pictures, go to your tsikot account profile and make an album there and upload your pictures. "Click User CP" and then choose "Pictures and Album".

Yes sir. I paid 5,500 for 1 set of Innova leather seats.Double stitched,ok sya easy to clean.Cge I'll do hat post ko tmrw ang pics!..Mahal talaga sa iba bro nasa 7thou.

Probably the guy with the heavier foot. If we talk of regular overtaking, the D4D is more than adequate and way more convenient to drive. But on a drag race between the D4D and VVT-i Innova, I'd bet on the VVT-i. It's torque characteristics give it more high-rpm punch, so when redlining, the VVT-i will probably eat the D4D. Know what, I smoked a 3.0 D4D Fortuner once (or twice?). So I'd recommend the VVT-i Innova [M/T] if you drive like me. Better yet, import a 2.7 VVT-i Innova if it's possible...hehehe...

Probably. On the D4Ds, I never felt any difference of acceleration rate between the M/T and A/T Innovas, but on a drag race, I'd bet on the A/T. You won't use much time between shifts since it's an A/T. All M/T Innovas don't have quickshifters, and it's more like rowing a boat than changing gears.

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....

Dyan ako dumadaan sir sa Marcos highway at talagang matraffic kapag friday (sabagay sa lahat naman yata ng lugar). Ingat lang ako kasi hindi talaga kontrolado yang mga jeepney driver.

Torque value for dsl A/T & M/T is different, I think that is to compensate for power loss in A/T, that is assuming that the M/T is driven by a "true" driver, I have also noticed it in Isuzu Alterra where torque is higher for A/T... same with Hilux g compared to E, same 2.5 engine same M/T but higher torque for G variant... the reason i bought an Innova A/T , torque and Hp equal to Hi-Ace and fort 2.5 for a lot lesser price... and A/T of innova dsl is really responsive and good to drive, better than the M/T.

Power output defines acceleration according to my research in the internet. Since the Gas variant has a higher power output than the D4D, it will definitely have a slight advantage on acceleration. The higher torque output of the D4D, on the other hand, will provide it better pulling action and this is good when you normally load up your vehicle or travelling in mountainous or elevated areas (Baguio for example).

Nevertheless, as sir Robert pointed out, acceleration of the D4D is not far off from the VVTi. I also have the same experience. Owning a D4D, I was able to compare it with VVTi on numerous occassion when I rented Gas Innova for business use.

Acceleration difference between AT and Manual transmission doesn't matter when you have a family car. If your way is almost always stop and go, you are probably better off with an AT for convenience and ease of driving.

[timo07]

FYI, Speedlab offers a Unichip add-on para sa innova D4D. 25% increase in power and 40+% increase in torque. Currently Php30K package price with dynamometer tuning. Nagresearch ako dahil naintriga ako doon sa isang nagpost at nagtatanong kung may nakakaalam ng tungkol doon.

hi guys! just want your opinion on this,

is 3m the best tint toyota has to offer? i also saw platinum and u.s. brand in their accesories booth buh they said 3m was the best and that 'pilit' lang daw na included sa deal yun for my innova (personally, me thinks its jus sales talk).

also four types lang ba talaga 3m? 1)neutral 2)medium black 3)magic black 4)super black. same price ba lahat toh? since nasa deal siya let's choose the most expensive di ba?!

we want a high quality tint kasi for uv protection and keeps the interior cool, so is 3m as good as they say? i mean toyota dude did say he was giving us the best.

uu traffic talaga, kawawa nga ung innovang nabangga, malamang e nag offensive driving yun, e ung jeep walang stop light. patay, di nahabol ng preno
