J... i am not sure if your model already has actuator solenoids.. if none, it's gonna cost you a few pretty pennies. (i remember an ad here.. conversion using japan surplus..)

i had the casa put the alarm and keyless in my new E variant, because i didn't want to write off my warranties. it already had actuator solenoids..
i got the cheapest model that they had.. less than one pretty penny (7K). my only gripe is, the fob that it came with, had prominent (non-sunken) buttons.. i have many times un-intentionally locked and/or unlocked the vehicle while fumbling in my pocket.
there is a more expensive model in there, but... kuripot ako..

good luck.

Salamat Dr. D, other than that po sa unintentionally tska nallocked/unlocked wala naman po ibang nagiging problem? kuripot din ako sir gusto ko lang magkaruon ng kaunting security man lang yung sasakyan. hehehe

(p.s d ko alam sir kung bakit dobledoble yung nappost kapag nagrereply ako, pasensiya na)

it's been over four years, and it still works flawlessly.
btw, the instruction manual it came with was useless. too much broken engrish..

Salamat sir, kamusta naman po yung pinalagay nyo sir, I mean kamusta na po yung alarm, wala naman po ba kayong nagiging problema?

Thanks,

Rey

wala naman naging problema bro. mag 3 years na siya sa May2016.

yung aftermarket alarm and central lock system ang pinakabit ko (same offer sa ibang accessories shop), hindi yung OEM TVSS na hindi naman nila inaalok.

walang naka indicate na brand, sobrang generic, pero yung remote parang lumang cobra alarm.

ang habol ko lang naman, basta hindi mag void electrical warranty ko

may specific procedure ba sa pagbleed ng cooling system ng innova diesel (2kd ftv)???

ang ginawa ko ay ifillup yung reservoir up to the "B" level. reservoir cap off. tapos varying engine speed (from idle to just above 3,000 rpm, etc.)

or kelangan buksan yung plastic plug sa may upper tank ng radiator???

tapos nung akala ko nableed ko na e ibinalik ko yung reservoir cap then few minutes idling then engine off. after few minutes uli, tinanggal ko reservoir cap e bumababa uli yung level ng coolant sa reservoir. from "F" to lower than "L". kaya no choice kundi ulitin uli yung procedure.

any idea? may nakalimutan ata ako kako. e dati rati sa ibang sasakyang nahawakan ko e tinatanggal ko lang yung radiator cap then paandarin lang makina. ok naman. tapos etong innova e hindi makuha sa isang bleeding. btw, brand new ang radiator. wala din akong makitang external leaks. engine oil e ok naman (walang halong tubig).

actually, galing sa collision ang sasakyan. nasira ang bumper, brackets, condenser, radiator hanggang sa may fan clutch kaya. dahil ayaw na rin gumastos yung may-ari e pansamantagal munang remedyo sa fan clutch. ubos na rin budget kaya remedyo muna. saka na daw nya gagastusan uli. kelangan lang magamit agad.

AFAIK, the engine cooling system is self-bleeding. One thing to remember however is that it requires you to warm up the engine so that the thermostat opens up.

With the engine still cold, the thermostat is closed which prevents the coolant from flowing to/from the radiator. But as you've described, after leaving the engine idling for several seconds, the thermostat opened up and the coolant started flowing to the radiator. This also will push air towards the highest point of the cooling system (the reservoir, in the case). Just replenish the coolant to Full and check the level again after a few more minutes. Then again after the engine has cooled down (ie. next morning). Top up as necessary. Once the level stops receding, you'll know that the bleeding process is complete.

yes sir. i do understand the basics. nakapagbleed nako before on different engines. ngayong lang ako nagbibleed on the reservoir (not directly sa radiator).

kaso nga lang, mejo windang din ako kung ano yung nakaimprenta na "B" sa coolant reservoir (bale B, F at L). yung "F" at "L" ay sa tingin ko e Full at Low....yung "B" naman, sa tingin ko, e you fill at that "B" level when bleeding. once naburp na yung system is bababa na sa "F" level.

atsaka nung tinanggal ko yung reservoir cap (engine off) pagkatapos nung bleeding, e bumaba pa uli yung coolant level (lower than "L"). mejo drastic nga yung pagbaba. kaya sinubukan ko uli ibleed.

hmmmmm...

magkano na ba ngayon ang fan clutch para sa innova diesel? yung oem ha. hindi yung mumurahing replacement brand.

baka meron na po sa inyo rito ang nakapagpalit na.

salamat

10 years and 110K on the odometer.. clutch still seems ok..
try giving the stores a call.. celica.. toyorama.. casa!

For as long as it's getting in and nothing is leaking out, you'll now that air pockets are beng displaced by coolant... which is good. Eventually pag naubos yung air pockets, mag stabilize na level sa F.

yung binili kasi nung may-ari na brand new (P2k daw nya nabili sa banawe) e nagfifreewheel (about 5 freewheels siguro). di pa nakaconnect yung elesi nun. binuksan ko e parang napakakonti ang laman na silicone oil kaya dinagdagan ko ng 5 pcs (16 ml each) silicone oil. after that e ganun pa rin ang freewheel. parang walang epekto kahit na sinubukan kong painitin yung thermostatic element gamit ang lighter.

more than 150k km na rin natakbo...nung binuksan ko yung dating clutch na nagcrack due to collision e may nakalagay na parang tire interior sa loob nito.
