Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[pong_li]

good morning mga sirs! i'm a newbie here. may question lang po ako bout sa innova. hingi lang po ng mga input niyo since hindi po ako masyado well versed sa mga auto terminologies. I'm planning to install the ff to my innova J diesel 2012 model.
-code alarm 1051
-central door lock 4 doors ( mas maganda ba i 5 ko nalang?) may trunk release feature yung alarm ko so 5 door locks ba dapat?
-replace stock HU with DVD HU mos fet 50x4 max output but 2 lang speakers ko
- back up camera
-LED light sa spoiler
-LED light sa chrome mirror cover
so bale ito lang po mga electronic add on ko..hindi po kaya mag crank kasi sa dami ng electronics? kaya ho ba to ng battery ko? kasi from what i read hindi daw maintenance free ang stock ng innova J.

thank you...your inputs will be much appreciated..

For a 12V battery ano ba ang minimum reading sa voltmeter to be considered for replacement na?

A battery cell is about 1.5V... So, I guess, if it is 11.5V or higher, then you still have a healthy battery. Anything lower than that is suspect. Just my ballpark.

lucky the guys whose batteries gave warning signs before dying completely.
in my experience, my batteries die suddenly. as in, good as new yesterday, dead as a doornail this morning.
with diesel engines, this means you probably won't be able to start the vehicle unless you have very strong na tagatulak (yes, you can push-start a diesel even if cold! medyo matagal lang nga..). in my case, i have a battery charger at home. when it happens, i just give it a booster charge. once started, i head to the store and buy a new battery.
gas engines, especially those with EFI, are easier to push-start even with very weak battery.
a female friend who knows next to nothing about cars, does not like to take chances. she replaces her battery every 2 years, regardless.
the batteries i use, have an 18 month guarantee. they last me at least 30 months.
your service adviser probably just wants to save you the horror of dead battery syndrome. it's your choice if you want to play battery roulette or not.
if your vehicle is an automatic, i recommend you replace your battery at a pre-determined date, regardless; or you buy a battery charger.

I own an automatic. For as long as you are in Metro Manila,- then your inconvenience would be about an hour, with Motolite express delivery. I agree though that it is much more convenient if you replace your battery at pre-determined intervals, consistent with its warranty.

Sir, sulit na yan car battery mo. pag may signs tulad ng hirap mag redondo ang makina that is the time you replaced your battery.

Actually some batteries would just give you the "kriiieeek" sound. Mine actually did twice although I was able to start the engine on the third attempt. Went straight to the battery shop and replaced it,- after more than 4 years of service....

Talaga bang hindi maintenance free ang battery ng Innova J gas? BTW nakuha na namin si Ynna last saturday!

[diksonito]

matagal na 3 secs. mukhang baterya ang problema.

if battery problema nyo check this link BatteryStuff Articles | Guide to Understanding Flooded, AGM, and Gel Batteries
dito ko lang nalaman kaya pala madaling masira yung battery na nillalagay ko sa toy bike ng anak ko ay madaling masira, may ibang klase pala ng baterya para doon hehehe...
and a tsikot thread that looks interesting http://tsikot.com/forums/electricals...battery-87052/

Thanks for your inputs mga sirs! I'll take note of these. Maybe pa-check ko na din yung battery ko. My friend told me din na baka daw grounded dahil s pag-install ng alarm kaya nagloloko pag start. Is it possible though? Thanks!

Hi! May available na po bang projector headlights for innova 2012

Guys, we got a 2011 innova g d4d last december. I'm planning to install chrome grills just like in the v variant. saan kaya meron nito and how much? TIA.

Regarding car battery, I have experience a sudden depleted battery in my coding car before. Well, as the name suggest, I use it once a week or sometimes during weekends. The battery died out one time when I started with no signs of degrading battery whatsoever before. Kaya mas advantage kung nagagamit mo lagi ang iyong tsikot. I think battery would last longer due to constant charging via alternator than using it once a week.

Yes, hindi maintenance free... Congrats on your new Innova!

pasali nmn mga sir at ma'm :-) for pick-up na Innova mamaya :-) Innova G D-4D Pearl White po. Me tips po ba na kelangan gawin sa bagong labas para s newbie katulad ko? Tnx po

[loverlionus]

*wengweng search mo sa google: new car inspection checklist para sa mga items na kailangan mo tignan pagkuha ng new car. May sarili checklist din yung dealer na pwede mo tignan. Siguraduhin mo din na tama lahat ng details sa documents, like vehicle and engine no., owner name, etc. pwede din I-test drive bago i-uwi yung unit.

congrats! just keep it clean and choose a clean gas station when filling up. medyo, maselan sa diesel ang D4D.

ganda tignan ng pearl white. very elegant. enjoy your ride.

Check mabuti interior at lalo na exterior ng Innova mo and then observe proper break-in for the 1st 1K. Enjoy your new ride sir !

double check all the fluids before starting the engine.

what would someone need to do to properly break-in their D4D engine? I got mine not too long ago but haven't really had the chance to take it out on a long drives, (farthest we went was from Eastwood to Tagaytay).

Sir, just drive normally. Don't push your vehicle too hard and take it easy on the accelarator pedal or you might want to check the toyota manual provided. Proper break-in is indicated there.

^Thanks, Retz for the tips!

On a different topic, I just noticed that our windshield wiper reservoir is empty. Call me stupid but I just didn't get the chance to inspect it when we got our Innova. Is it normal for the reservoir to be empty on a brand new unit? Any specific brand of wiper fluid you guys would recommend?
