this happened to me as well. open the jack compartment, you should be able to access the door latch, check if it was just misaligned or something is broken. please take note that when you put the toolbag in its compartment, sometimes it touches the cable of the door latch, thus causing the misalignment of the latch.

i remember na flat tire ako nga ako at i used the jack and the tool bag.. hay salamat sa forum na ito.tnx swanky...! check ko mamaya, naka duck tape nga lang yung gas door eh...

i don't let my aircon get serviced, until it fails to cool anymore. it took more than 5 years for this to happen.
to clean the front cabin air filter, remove the right glove compartment by pushing the two swing corners inward. it takes a lot of effort to do this. and don't remove the tape covering the swivel joints. i-ingay yan pag matagtag ang daan if you do. once removed, feel for the rectangular filter cover. remove it by unlocking the latch. pull out the filter and clean it. either soft brush, soap or both. tapos ay ibalik mo ang lahat.

Thank sir sa reply. Ang mahal din kasi sa CASA. Malamig pa naman po yung A/C. Check ko din yung manual and usually nililinis yung A/C sa 25K PMS. Di ko lang sure bakit advise ako ng CASA need na service ng A/C. Paano po linisin yung Cabin filter? Ayoko din kasi muna pa service sa labas since nasa warranty pa yung unit ko.

Actually part yan ng training ng mga SA to offer you more of their services para kumita ang casa, parang Jolibee lang yan na they will offer you apple pie or sundae

eto sir ang how to How to Change the Cabin Air Filter in a Toyota: 9 Steps

above procedure is similar to Innova, just follow steps 3-6. You can access the cabin filter by detaching first the Glove Compartment (press both sides to unlatch the side guides, you can actually use 2 screwdrivers for both-side to aid in pressing the sides )

BTW, washable po ang cabin filter, just soak it in a basin with diluted dish washing liquid for 10 minutes, then rinse with moderate water pressure with your garden hose, don't whisk to avoid damage and just let it sun dry.

Dr. D at 5 years before you had your aircon serviced, ilan odo mo? Innova ko is 6 years na but 46K km pa lang. Malamig pa ang aircon ko kaya wala pa ako balik magpalinis. Changed my cabin filter twice na pero recent lang yung huli.

sir lagpas 2years na yung battery ng innova 2.5 diesel namin, ano ba ang size at recommended model niyo?

[mrshooli]

Did you mean, after it was parked from direct sunlight, bro?

It should take a while before the rear evaporators would blow out cool air,- as the vents have been "exposed" to the heat from the roof..... They should recover in time,- but if not,- then you need to have it checked,- maybe it needs cleaning....



22.7K:boat:

even if not parked under direct sunlight, matagal talaga at hilaw yung lamig sa rear AC.

I had my 20K PMS last week and told my SA about my rear AC concern. After the oil change, the unit was brought inside the work area and apparently the aircon filter was cleaned as per the SA.

As of now, medyo ok na yung lamig unlike before.

One more question guys. Does the rear AC have a separate filter?

walang filter ang rear aircon.

Pag hilaw pa rin ang aircon mo sir, pa check mo na freon baka kulang.

[Capsaul]

balitaan mo kami sir

ok, i was able to fix the gas lid cover problem. tama nga si swanky. naging complicated lang kasi nahulog yung spring and stud sa ilalim kaya binaklas ko pa yung sidings ng innova just to reach it. magandi din pala tingnan yung last row seats taken out. malinis tingnan, hehe feeling SUV. for now 5 seater na muna innova ko, bihira lang gamitin yung 3rd row eh, madali naman ikabit ulit.

After less than 20K mileage, stock Yokohama Aspec seem to wear out unevenly and prematurely on the outer edge. Started to notice this near the >15K mileage mark. I have also seen this in other Innova with same tires on the road.

Anyone experiencing this?

Under inflated. Normal wear out pag under inflated kapalit ng ride comfort.

sa kaso ko sir nag palit ako gulong halos 40K na... stick lang ako sa 33 psi. nag 36 sa rear pag madami load...

[mrshooli]

walang filter ang rear aircon.

Thanks po,

If in case kulang nga ang freon, di po ba dapat mahina din yung cabin AC? Malamig naman po kasi yung cabin AC.

[shibby75]

Ganyan din yokohama ko, 30psi lang kasi pressure ko, mas smooth ang ride. Nagpalit ako 35thou mileage ng 2 set. Every 5k rotation ko.

[kristine123]

sa case ko kasi dati sir, malamig naman ang aircon parang hilaw lang ang lamig nya specially tanghali. Nong pinadagdagan ko ng freon outside casa since out of warranty naman ang innova namin. Malamig na ulit.

[frequenzy]

hayz medyo minalas, pag sundo sa airport na flat yung gulong. pinacheck ko sa vulcanizing shop, unfortunately malaki yung hiwa at hindi na kayang tapalan pa. nasa 4k ata yung yokohama eh.

+1, and very roomy, i put a soft foam and the kids are comfortable sleeping and playing back there during trips and ask me not to put it back. Also, those seats weighs 15 kg. each.
