Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[Macayla3410]

Thanks for your replies and info sir CVT Mile2 and Retz! Appreciate it so much!

[Mile2]

hindi yata baklas sir. parang they will put chemicals inside the a/c system. inioffer lang kasi sakin kung gusto ko daw....

Hindi yata kaya ng ng walang baklasan ang cleaning., paano yung mga dumi sa cooling coils and fins ng blower fan?

Kaya nabubutas yung cooling coil dahil sa humid dirt that slowly penetrates sa surface ng aluminum tubes as explained by aircon technician to me., so it is important that it should be cleaned.

[timo07]

pwede, ginawa ko na nga eh.

Ericson, ang reason why distilled water is preferred than purified is because of presence of minerals (meron pa rin kahit kaunti). Distilled or Demineralized Water ay wala na (as if hindi pa obvious sa term he. he.) Yung minerals kasi ang nagigiging scale. So mas maganda talaga ang Distilled, although using purified water should not cause you any trouble if you use coolant additives in the correct proportion. Coolant additives, at some level, provide descaling properties.

Mile2, did the technician specified recommended cleaning interval of the evaporators?

merong tig 5k na HID projector retrofit kit with angel eyes yun na lang bilhin mo sir.. kaso permanent na yun kasi papaluwangin yun headlight mo para mag fit yun projector...

pag ayaw mo naman naka projector..ang kunin mo na HID kit yun may takip na chrome sa Hi/Lo bulb niya para ma lessen yun glare niya at di kalat.. eto gamit ko ngayon at tinest namin sa daan 4times ok naman wala naman nagrereklamo na kasalubong o nagsisignal na nasisilaw sila ...

yes po yung telescopic po na may takip po yun po kinuha ko po:-)

Possibilities:

1. Puedeng yung big rubber dumper between the chassis and the body, usually the driver side wears out early. Some remedy this by inserting another layer of hard rubber bushing or a much taller rubber bushing.

2. If front lang ang di pantay puedeng yung upper ball joint lang. Did they inspect the ball joints, tire rod end joint, etc.. these joints are more important to be replaced when worn out rather than the shock absorbers.

3. If sa rear, check the chassis/body rubber dumpers.

Thanks for the reply sir! I'm taking the car back to Yokohama this weekend. Will update the results here after the repair.

Mile2, did the technician specified recommended cleaning interval of the evaporators?

He said at least once a year kung palaging close ang windows when driving.

[terio2028]

Para tumagal yung life ng unit mo sir hintayin mo muna mawala yung ilaw ng heater seambol. Yan din yung nakalagay as manual.

Mga boss tanong lang po kung normal lang po ba na walang wheel weight (yun pong parang nakaipit or nakadikit lang dun sa labas ng mags na tingga) ang isang gulong (right side rear)? Ako po kasi naglagay ng tire black kanina at dun ko lang napansin na wala, nung december ko po nakuha innova g ko sa toyota pasig, nag tanong na po ako sa sa ko kung nag tire rotation na, ang sabi sakin sa 10k pms pa daw ang rotate.. TIA mga boss!

four possibilities:
1. the wheel is already perfectly balanced as is. lucky you!
2. it had a lead weight, but for some reason, natanggal o nabagsak. usually, there are visible marks...
3. the previous owner didn't bother to have it balanced.
4. the wheel is balanced. the weights are taped inside on the other (hidden) side of the mag. give it a peek.
if i were in your shoes and still have my doubts, i would have the wheel balanced. it's not that expensive.

[Macayla3410]

Thank you for the possibilities that you shared dr.d!

[MrQ5]

eh sir anu ba unang maapektuhan sa sasakyan. kapag palagi iniistart ng hindi na hinihintay mawala yung heater.?
lalo na sa umaga diresiretso agad i istart. .
Tsk

buti na lang may tsikot thread na ganito, nakalimutan ko na nga ito eh, madalas di ko namamalayan kahit kalalgay lang ng susi start ko na ngayon observant na uli sa heater indicator hehehe.
BTW 0.5sec is the duration of heater lamp/indicator, accdg to service manual.iirc.

[MrQ5]

ang dalas naman grabe.
sinunod mo din ba payo ng technician?

tingin ko wala naman sobrang bad effect ito. pinapainit ito ung engine block eh split seconds lang ito since mainit naman ang climate dito natin sa pinas.

parang overkill naman yan once a year imo.

No, first time ng Innova ko to have an aircon service after 5 1/2 years. My rear coil got busted due to dirt. Mas madaling dumumi yung rear dahil walang cabin filter, at lalong mas malakas dumumi ang rear coil pag di pinapaandar when driving dahil yung opening flaps na nasa likod ng rear bumper naka-open.

salamat bossing
ito nalang palagi ang issue ko . nahihirapan na ko kasi istart sila ng istart agad. parang ginagawang GAS
ingat na ingat ka sa auto. kapag sasabihan mo naman magagalit sayu .eh intensyon mo lang naman mag ingat .
palagay ko sa katagalan starter ang magiging sira ni innova
alam ko na papagawa ko :hysterical: hindi naman siguru ma aapektuhan ang engine sa ganyang habit

buti na lang may tsikot thread na ganito, nakalimutan ko na nga ito eh, madalas di ko namamalayan kahit kalalgay lang ng susi start ko na ngayon observant na uli sa heater indicator hehehe.

madalas ko sir issue to. eh kung ako lang hinihintay ko talaga mawala lahat ng indicator sa dashboard tsaka istart
wala naman kasi mawawala. kaya lang yung mga ibang gumagamit .

Thanks. I think this is too frequent though.
