Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

^Dude, try checking if the car is upright. Do so by measuring the clearance between the tire and the fender on the front wheels.

At last, I had the time to change the cabin filter yesterday.

I suggest na talagang if you have the time, linisin natin. Grabe ang
dumi na nakuha ko sa filter, 3 years na rin innova ko.

Thanks sa steps ni Mile2 for the DIY. Malaking tulong, sarap ng
hangin ng aircon pagmalinis ang filter.

How to wash it the cabin filter? I just soak it in a soap and water solution of Perwoll or other brands overnight. The next morning, I brush it lightly with a used toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and (optional) soak for an hour or so in water just as an extra measure against remaining soap residue.

I think it is not advisable to wash the cabin filter since the material is so thin and only glued to cardboard like reinforced brace. I also tried washing it using mild pressurize water plus dishwashing liquid and the result is exceptionally very clean but I noticed that some glued portion got wear off, since then I only use blower/vacuum cleaner to remove dust.

Ask your dealer for the cabin filter/door lid kit and let them install it for you since it will entail cutting of plastic lid on the blower motor housing.

Aircon whole assembly cleaning at casa will take 2-5 days since they would dismantle the whole dashboard and the rear quarter panel sidings (rear passenger side seat removed). Parang kinatay ang itsura ng car mo pag nilinis ang aircon.

Mine was also 2006, and had my Left and Right shockz replaced sometime 2008 and 2009 respectively. My wild guess was that you probably had a busted shock absorber as well.

You can bring it to your Toyota dealer for servicing or you can bring it to some reputable under chassis repair shop, its your choice.

It would probably some other parts like wear out rubber bushing or tire rod end or rack end. It would need a car lifter to fully diagnose your front suspension parts anyway.

I was surprised that my my bnew innova has 40psi for all tires...What is the psi have you been using? i used 30 but when you look at it, it looks like a flat tire ... hmmm

[shibby75]

yap, at 30 psi, it looks flat, but thats what stated at the driver side door pillar. Anything above 35, natatalbugan na ko.

Tinry ko to, pero parang nahihirapan ako sa pagtanggal ng glove box matigas ba talaga yun? Natatakot ako pilitin baka mabiyak.

[crossedge]

Been to Big Bert's last week para mapa- new car paint protect ko Innova. May gamit silang flourescent to check the paint. Nakita sa paint ko dami na water marks. Normal ba to sa brand new innova? Maybe kasi matagal na nakabilad sa planta?

[morlack]

crossedge

anu ung new car paint protection?? he he!!!
curios lang..

[desertfox615]

crossedge,

matigas talaga. kala ko nga magcacrack e. takot din ako. pero ayos naman. wala nasira sa glove box ko.

ako, di ko binasa un filter. baka kasi mapunit. tinaktak ko lang.mas maganda kung may blower ka para talagang tanggal lahat ng dumi.

[morlack]

Guys ilang months ba dapat bago linisin ang aircon filter???
Mine 3 months old na.advisable ba na gawin ko ung paglinis niyo!

Mr. Mile, un bang rear aircon meron ding filter like the cabin front filter? Baka lang kasi nakaconcentrate ako sa paglilinis ng cabin filter and then meron pa palang isa sa likod.

Thanks sir Mile2..will try that....but i dont see any leak from my shocks.....is that a sign that my shocks are not in good condition even if there's no leak??....

You will need to fully steer the tire on one side to peak at the shocks and look for sign of wet and oily surface.

It would be a probability that you missed noticing the leak and it has dried up, but this is just my assumption though. Like I mentioned it would be best to diagnose that rattling sound using car lifter.

Mine was already diagnosed with weak rack ends and tire rod ends and was quoted P7800 including labor at Gomags Trading, Evangelista St. Pasay.
