Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[Mile2]

Good morning sir/mam.

just want to ask kung ano pwedeng substitute para sa coolant ng radiator. will i stick sa toyota provided coolant or pwede na yung sa nabibili lang sa suking auto supply shops?

thank you.

Puede kang stick to Toyota Coolant or buy the Caltex Coolant. Same lang yung nabibili sa Caltex, yung red coolant. Bumili ako sa Caltex yung concentrated at ito ang nilagay ko, ito rin ang advise sa akin ng taga Toyota parts and accessories.

Thanks sa info chief! Makati Area ako. OK naman ang binigay sa aking deal ng BPI at Manila Bay. kaya sa kanila ako kumuha. Sige, I'll try OTIS as well if may side moulding with chrome insert din sila. Thanks again!

Sir, Manila Bay? TMBC Dealer mo?

[Valaris]

yes sir tmbc po. agent ko po si ms. chelly. ket sir?

[wolfmanila]

yes sir tmbc po. agent ko po si ms. chelly. ket sir?

copy. TMBC din ako Bro. Agent ko si Nettle Cruz...
S.A. ko naman si Alfin... Ok na S.A. 'yan (Tipid gastos sa PMS), kung ano lang ang dapat gawin sa unit mo 'yun lang ang lalagay sa Job Order + with your approval muna syempre. also, madali din sya kausap just in case may warranty issue... masarap nga pala ang coffee dyan Bro. timpla ka lang.

God Bless!

Good pm po,
Tanong ko lang kung ok ino-offer sa aking ng Pasong Tamo Dealer na Innova J gas variant (color white), pero 2010 model.
From a 25K discount on a 2011 model, they gave me a 85K discount for an old stock.
Tagal pa raw kasi delivery ng new batch of Innova J gas variant, mga end of the month pa raw.
Wala kaya problem ang old stock kaya di na benta?
Thanks po!

How can we know if the unit is 2010 or 2011 model. Anong physical difference b ang dapat i check?

My SA said none raw... its the same model, but was released by the plant last december 2010 instead of 2011.
It even has driver side airbags, just like 2011 model...I will know exactly by saturday when i get it...

Gumamit na rin ako ng Caltex coolant additive noon sa liteace namin. What is your preferred mix, 50:50?

[timo07]

Kung under warranty pa ipasok mo na lang sa casa, free replacement yan. Half day to 2 days yan sa casa, if ever siguraduhin mo muna na may replacement parts bago mo ipasok, para mabilis mong makuha ang car mo.

Kung out of warranty at isa lang ang papalitan mo, go for OEM para pantay ang ang stiffness. Had mine replaced (front passenger side) P2700 OEM Toyota original plus P300 labor, doon ako sa tindahan ni Banawe(tsikoteer) sila na rin ang nagkabit...less than an hour to replace the shock.

Price ng replacement mas mura lang ng kaunti, kaya go for OEM para exact fit. If you back read may nagapalit na dito ng KYB or Kayaba pero sabi niya mas matagtag daw ito.

Hi Mile2, do you have the telephone number ng shop ni Banawe? NagpaPMS kasi ako last week at sabi nung technician palitin na raw shocks ko front pasenger side din. Kita ko medyo basa nga dahil fully extended yung shocks. Pero for the fast few days iniinspection ko yung lower portion at tuyo naman. siguro di pa malakas ang tagas. Ang turing kasi sa akin sa toyota e P4600?!? Magkaiba ba ang shocks ng diesel at gasoline? Tingin ko naman parehas lang.

[u2ykins]

I agree with you Sir Mile... 'yung ride ko po going to 3 years old na this December so far until now hindi pa rin ginagalaw aircon even cleaning wala pa pong ginawa sa unit ko and my Aircon's performance is as cold as the brand new ones. Thanks for my S.A. at TMBC, hindi ako binabraso during my PMS with them.
God Bless to all! -dongb

+1 here... mine is more than 4 years...

[amir1223]

Boss magkapatid ang Toyota Dasma & TMBC (Manila Bay)... try mo doon pa service Ride mo look for Alfin. OK na S.A. 'yun. so far OK naman ang service sa Ride ko. Warranty Issue, madali lang na solusyunan. So far ang na claim ko sa Warranty are 1. un-even elevations 2. wiper motor.

Congrats on your new ride. Di ba wala pang built-in fogs ang J variant? How much did it cost you to install the whole fog lamps including hid. imho , fog lamps even with hid will not significantly improve visibility. it will just cause excessive glare to incoming traffic.this is the reason why i installed projectors in my fogs

[AkoiTORYe]

ganda ng projector fog light mo sir. saan mo nakuha at how much? sa goldcars banawe kasi yung DLAA brand nasa 3K+ including installation. typical fog light lang ang DLAA.

[Ginnova]

medyo mahal compared ordinary halogen fogs. imported ito from china. marami na sellers ng projector lamps dito around 5-6K.
Yung fogs ko pala is Bi-Xenon meaning may low at high beam

[dongding79]

mag sirs,

meron na ba sa inyong nakapag file na nang own damage sa insurance? medyo malala kasi yung tama sa rear bumper ng innova ko eh at gusto ko sanang mapalitan thru insurance. paano ba ang filing procedures sa insurance at anong documents required?

hope someone can hep me. thanks in advance mga sirs!!!
