Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[CtrlAltDel]

guys can you enlighten mo on this? meron parang mahinang kalansing ng barya akong naririnig on the engine when accelerating. I'm sure walang barya na naligaw doon pero merong ganung sound. parang metallic ratttle during acceleration. according to toyota balintawak, it's due to the fuel I used (Shell unleaded gasoline). they advised me to change. Now I use Petron unleaded pero nandun pa rin yung sound. (Innova 2012 Gas, G) any ideas?

As experienced sa 2012 Innova J Gas namin, and based sa manual. ung light knocking sound during acceleration is normal. it may be due to the quality of fuel. You may try higher octane rated fuels like Petron XCS or Caltex Gold. haven't tried using higher octane fuel yet but I intend to use after its 10K PMS.

Mga boss, I'm planning to get the 2013 innova j dsl. Ilang colors ba ang available for the J variant?

[markduguran]

J variant colors:

Freedom White
Thermalyte (Silver)
Blaze (Red)

For the 2009-2011 and 2012 models, Its Red Mica Metallic (Brighter side of Red) as Compared to the 2005-2008 models (More on the Darker - Maroon side)
Hope this Helps

Thank you sir nujsimon, checked sulit kaya lang mataas na ang price.....P1800 na.....will try to look for other sources, thanks ulit at least alam ko na available sya....taga kasi sa casa...hindi rin covered ng warranty....

replacement key housing with remote buttons available in the malls. where they fabricate key cards and duplicate keys. forgot exactly how much but not as high as 2500. they just remove the remote transponder of your old key and place it in new housing.

thanks mark. that's a reassuring note. sabi ng service foreman, dapat daw gamitin ko yung hindi mataas ang octane. I'll try Caltex silver next. if I'm not mistaken, the manual says to use only unleaded. di ba leaded yung XCS and other premium gasoline? in any case, i'll have them check the acu parts for bearing problems and whatnot next pms.

Just had my 180t kms PMS late last December 2012 and was advised that certain parts are up for replacement... may ma recommend kayo na mga shops outside of casa that can supply reliable and reasonable prices of the following:

- front suspension arm (lower & upper)
- rack end / tie rod
- front wheel bearing

not sure if casa will accept parts bought outside.. but magbakasakali lang... di naman siguro super special ang mga parts na to na sa casa lang pupuwede gawin kaya worst case.. baka sa labas ko na rin ipagawa assuming may mabiling pyesa sa labas...

Sir Wowiesy,

After 180,000 kms, yan lang ire-replace sa Innova mo? Aus a? Ganyan katibay ang Innova natin. Pede ka naman bumili ng original toyota parts na hindi galing sa casa. Alam ko meron sa Banaue nagbebenta ng mga orig toyota parts. Pag di kaya ng budget mo talaga, ung 555 brand ok na un. Hamak na mas mura sa orig pero matibay na din.

Sir, kailan napalitan timing belt/chain mo?

[kristine123]

nag pageneral checkup ako kanina sa Casa at napansin ko ito?

meron din sa tiiming chain cover konting oil sa gitna malapit sa lalagyanan ng sparkplug.

wala namang drop oil sa carport

ito po recomendation ng casa.

Reseal timing chain cover and timing chain cover o-ring parts 304.33 labor 3,136
Crankshaft oil seal front parts 901.72 labor 3,136
Valve cover gasket parts 712.66 labor 784
Labor of reseal primary and secondary oil pan labor 2,352
Shop Materials 1,000

ok lang ba papagawa itoor hayaan muna?
ok lang po ba ang prices?
Walang mas masira sa ibang parts since maraming tatanggalin? minor lang po ba ito?

God bless...

Subok mo na po ba ang 555 na tie rod, rack end at ball joint upper and lower sir? ilang taon tumagal sir?

It depends on your insurance (after all they are the ones paying for the cost of repair). Some are small companies that will replace it with surplus parts, some companies cut costs by repairing the bumpers, etc... Lots of possibilities. Really depends on what kind of relationship do you have with your ins. agent.

Looking at the pic you provided, its possible to fix the damage on bumper without necessarily replacing it. A source of heat (to soften the dimple) and they can push it out. Finish any noticeable imperfection with everybody's favorite concealer: masilya. Repaint. Good as new (depending on the workmanship).

Hi sir, we brought our Innova at TQA yesterday. They said they will replace the bumper since almost all the bumper clips are broken and it will cost us 5.5k as participation fee. We just have to wait for the approval of the insurance in 3 working days. BTW, our insurance is Standard.

baka may bara.. kaya nag-auto off dahil very hi pressure. dalhin mo sa aircon shop..

I brought the car kanina sa aircon shop. ang sabi sa akin ganun daw tlga ang mga innova mabilis mag automatic ang aircon, pero may ginawa din cya kanina nag vacuum niya yung system then lagay ng freon, i notice medyo tumagal yung interval ng pag automatic ng aircon at mas lumamig hopefully ok na unit ko. sabi din nya next time na mag pacleaning ako ng aircon iadjust namin yung sensor ng aircon.

Do you also hear this sound after start up when the car is parked over a few hours? Assuming car was parked overnight and start up in the morning then accelerate slowly.

When the engine is already running a few minutes after start up, the sound no longer appears.

Thank you sir pingpongdad for the heads-up, will inquire at the malls if I happen to drop by...found other sellers also in sulit selling at the price sir nujsimon said but got no reply from the sellers just yet.

Since outside warranty na yung Innova mo, you can just take it to any Servitek station for replacement of those parts. I get my parts sa GANT motor sales sa Pasay. They sell OEM as well as replacement parts for Toyotas. medyo ok naman pricing nila based from experience.

medyo mahal po ata yung labor ma'am. tsaka sure ba sila na yung oil leak eh galing dun sa mga minention nila? baka di naman kailangan i-reseal lahat. Valve cover/ Oil Pan/ Timing Chain cover etc - di naman sabay sabay nag le-leak yan based from experience. pinakamaganda talaga ay ipin point kung saan nanggagaling yung leak and yun lang ang ayusin.

ano daw po yung "shop materials"?

[wakiki77]

nope theres no Intercooler installed..you can have one installed IMHO ;)

tnx sir kala ko may intercooler innova hehe.

Ma'am Kristine,

Sa dati ko pong kotse, Mitsubishi Lancer 96, ung 555 lang ang pinalit ko. 2006 ko siya pinalitan, ibinenta ko na last year before ako bumili ng Innova. Di pa naman pinapapalitan nung pinagbentahan ko ung mga un. Saka lahat yata ng nagbebenta ng replacement parts na pang ilalim, 555 ang nire-recommend imbes na orig or china or taiwan made.
