This is the same question I asked Toyota people in casa here in Cebu. They did not give me an answer. They say that that sound is normal...

Does it have a brand name? Can you tell us where in Makati can we get this? thanks

What kind of noise? Diesel or Gasoline?

What you heard would probably be the compressor being engage.

BTW, it has timing chain not timing belt

Why don't you get the more sturdier and reliable Solex brand. Look pal, how much does a spare cost compare to a solex tire lock? you wouldn't want to shell out bucks for a costly spare than a P2.5k solex, don't you?

Just a warning...some casas like Toyota Balintawak sells Kaco spare tire locks for PhP3,500. Like I was telling, it wouldn't lock as it got stuck when we removed it after about a year but we eventually fixed it. I dunno about the Solex, but for P2,500, I think it's a good deal. Well, maybe, compared to the casa-sold unit. At least Solex has a reputation to protect.

We have no idea yet on the quality of the generic lock priced at P1,500.

Thanks for clarifying.

The noise - parang nabutas na gulong ata. Tas mawawala after a few seconds. Compressor ba yun? It ssems not normal anymore. What part should be replaced? Please give your expert opinions. thanks.

If you think it is not normal, you better have someone check it. If your ride is D4d probably you have problem with your turbo or some broken gasket.

You may want to back read here, some D4d owner experience a sound like a boiling kettle or something like gas escaping sound.

Never experienced this in my vehicle. As Mile2 suggested patingnan mo na sa expert or sa toyota mismo. If you know a mechanic that you think is knowledgeable, have him take a look at your vehicle but seek second opinion if you are in doubt on his assessment. Sometimes, a well-experienced mechanic will be able to directly point out the problem to you that you never realized before.

Bought my Spare Tire Lock at Toyota directly for about P3K plus. Brand is Solex and the key has a Toyota logo on it. Your Kaco must have corroded inside that is why it got stuck.

i noticed this sound too in my vvti unit at cold startups, is the sound "tik,tok,tik,tok". i think this sound is coming from the a/c compressor. this only happens in cold startups and a/c turned on.
