Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[toyoman]

Anyone seen or notice the new colors for the 2010 "up-spec" Innova G and V? Bronze Mica Metallic (G & V) and Jade Green Metallic (G). Jade Green looks like a darker shade of the popular green from the mid-to-nineties. OTOH, the Bronze color has a similar shade to the Fortuner's and Hilux's Grayish Brown.

Just got our bronze Innova G.
There is one on display at Pasong Tamo.
Was planning to get a black but blacks are difficult to maintain.
OTH, bronze, even running on the highway after a downpour, it still looks nice.

For one, it looks way more modern than the aging Adventure. It also has a more powerful engine and it's more comfortable. Also, if you're comparing the higher end variants such as the G and V against those of the advie, it has safety features like the ABS and Driver and Front passenger airbags.

[annika]

i reserved for innova J gas.I don't have the budget for higher variants. but i'm planning to buy some accessories to beautify my innova. Is there any problems being posted of gas powered innova?

I choose fully synthethic, kasi sa previous car ko we use mineral oil at 1st Pms then we shifted to synthetic at 5k PMS, so to avoid the flushing system ng kasa synthetic na agad ginamit ko.

haay.. dapat pla nag synthetic na kami.. mineral pa kasi ung nilagay nung 5k PMS. so sa 10k PMS ko, i-flush muna ung mineral oil then karga ng synthetic? pag synthetic every 10k na ang PMS right?

Every after 5K pa rin ang PMS.

To simplify:

10K PMS - change oil to fully synthetic plus change oil filter.

15K PMS - change oil filter plus 1 liter oil only.

20K PMS - change oil to fully synthetic plus change oil filter.

25K PMS - change oil filter plus 1 liter oil only.

30K PMS - change oil to fully synthetic plus change oil filter.

35K PMS - change oil filter plus 1 liter oil only.

40K PMS - change oil to fully synthetic plus change oil filter.
- change transmission oil, change differential oil, change radiator
coolant, change brake/clutch fluid, change power steering fluid.

Pinakamabigat sa bayarin yung every 40K PMS dahil palit lahat ng fluids plus brake pads if needed.

hi fellow tsikoters, mangangapit bahay muna ako ha. nissan grand livina owner ako and me itatanong lang ako :D

ask ko lang kung san kayo nakabili ng rubber moulding sa rear bumper niyo? wala ako pic eh basta yung nakapatong sa rear bumper para hindi magasgas yung paint pag me mga nilalagay na gamit o tinatapakan man. balak ko kasi palagyan yung livina ko. me shop ba kayo ni binibilhan o nagpapagawa lang kayo?

post na lang po..

thanks!

Yung sa VVT-i namin plastic moulding. Meron talagang custom-fit para sa mga bumper. Yung sa Fortuner iba din yung dimensions kasi mas malaki yung bumper nun. Pero pwede DIY, gagamitin yung 3M anti-slip tape.

mga ka innova, nakawarranty ba ang umangat (left side, kaunti) ung front skirt at na pitak ang mounting ng foglamps?

pag covered pa un ng warranty, zero peso cash out ako tama?

Mga bro I have this very sad experience sa Toyota Makati, Metropolitan Avenue kanina. I just got my car after being repaired for collision damage. Nagtagal din sya sa Toyota for almost 4 weeks. Kahapon kinuha ko sya, ayun mali ang color ng grills, My Innova is an E kaya body color ang grills, nilagay ba naman ay J... how can they overlook that. Since marami na ang mga for flood repair kahapo, pinatanggal ko na lang ang front grills para ma-repaint at inuwi ko ang Innova. I inspected the unit sa bahay. First I notice bakit madumi ang loob. Saka lahat ng compartments ng Innova ko kinalkal. Ang alam ko kasi sa labas lang ang damage ng Innova ko so they have no business na pumasok hangang second row at dumihan ang loob. Second, yung bumper reinforcement na pinalitan nila dahil sa damage sa pagkabangga, puro gasgas agad. labas ang metal, kung hindi pa tinaggal ang grills di ko makikita. Sa asar ko bumili ako ng automotive spray paint na itim at ako na nag nag DIY. Naayos ko naman at nakuntento ako pero ininform ko sila. Pangatlo, yung side garnish nabakbak ang stainless strip. Nadaanan daw ng buffing. Hay... pinalitan naman pero malabo na ang stainless kasi kinuha lang ata sa scrap.

Eto ang nakakapikon, kanina inuwi ko na sa office ang oto. Pagparada sa offcie sabi ng guard maingay daw ang makina, napansin ko na rin yun pero akala ko belt slippage lang kaya lumalangitngit. Nang binuksan ko hood nawala ingay so akala ko ok na.

Umalis uli ako kinahapunan, dumaan sa Buendia..bigla may narinig ako na tak-tak-tak-tak-tak sa makina. Pinarada ko agad sa tabi sabay bukas ng makina. Ayun nakita ko na loose pala ang lahat ng screws ng engine fan... malapit na matanggal... naku kung sakali wasak ang makina ko, radiator saka hood. baka nadisgrasya pa ako. Buti na lang at mabagal lang ang takbo ko kanina at narinig ko agad kung hindi disgrasya.

Binalik ko agad sa kanila ngayon lang at kinomplain ko sa management. bakit naman ganun, dapat dumadaan yan sa quality control. Nakakabwisit. Paano kung nsa highway ako at doon humiwalay ang fan..di disgrasya.

hay naku.

ganyan na ata talaga sa makati, sympathies bro

innova peeps, share ko lag first time ko sinugod sa baha (approx 1 ft siguro yun) innova ko kagabi, di na ako makamaneobra kasi traffic din, at nakikita ko mga sedan nakasugod naman kaya tinuloy ko na, buti naman, sa awa ng Diyos, di kami tumirik..

ngayon, ano dapat ko icheck up after ng ganung pangyayari?

brake pads? clean with running water?

any input peeps?

TIA

just upping my old post. thanks!
