Mga sirs san po pwede mag patanggal ng dent.

many choices...
paintless dent repair.. google them. they will say if it is amenable to pdr or not.
independent shop.. marami diyan.. good and bad.. cheap and not-so-cheap.
casa! the tourist's default! presyong turista, nguni at probably the least headache. if your car has comprehensive insurance, you might be in luck..

^ Doc maraming salamat.

Mga sirs, okay lang ba sa current engine (D4-D) natin ang euro 4 fuel, malapit na ata ang full implementation nito.

should actually be better.

I often read comments like saying Euro 4 fuel as better than Euro 2.
I actually depends on what "better" means. Euro 4 is better for the environment as the Euro fuel standard is basically a regulation for pollutants in the fuel.

But if your vehicle is old and not up to Euro 4 fuel specs, then it is not better for your car.

See my post about ULSD/Euro IV diesel fuel here: http://tsikot.com/forums/toyota-cars...4/#post2600804

I finally got the alarm answerback (light flash + horn) to work. It took me several tries because I was not patient enough to read through all the instructions. Also, the time limit between tasks are very short so if you got one step wrong, you have to start from the beginning. It helps to practice the steps and timing.

I wanted the horn feedback because, whenever my mind is elsewhere after getting out of the car, I frequently find myself being unsure that I've actually locked the car. The single light flash is too quick to make a mental note of and I occasionally find myself in doubt later and have to come back to the car to be sure. When I had the Civic kasi, the light flashes three times when locking/arming, so it's quite easy to catch any of the flashes which makes a more positive confirmation that I've indeed locked it. I hope that the horn answerback will add to the confirmation and mental recall. Anyway, I can easily turn the feature off if it becomes too annoying.

Hi, di na makagalaw ang aking innova. Everything is OK except it won't budge an inch when I attempt to move forward or backward. Unfortunately sabi ng mekaniko, na tanggal daw ang brake lining or something. CMIIW. Dumaan kasi ako sa flooded street (pasong tirad in makati) and it caused the problem.
Questions:
Ganun ba talaga na nagjakaproblem sa brake or natsambahan lang ako?
Magkano kaya estimate damage?
What else do I need to do to prevent further damage ( E.G need ba under wash?)
May iba PA bang need ipacheck sa mekaniko?
Lessons learned:
Wag sumuong sa baha hanggat makakaya.
Longcut na lang next time.

pinakabitan ko ang E ko. 7.5 K yata... or is that 5.5K..?
but if you do not have solenoids for the doors yet, it will probably be higher.

depende kung san kinabit ng nagkabit.
yung sakin, pinakabit ko sa casa. dun nila linagay sa taas ng tambol (wheel well), sa loob ng engine bay, malapit sa firewall.
aluminum box po.. mga 4 to 6 inches. kung hindi ka sigurado, sundan mo ang kable buhat sa loudspeaker (siren).

kumalas ang brake pads at na-ipit sa pagitan ng brake shoe at brake drum inner surface.
depende kung gaano ka-lala ng pagka-ipit, puedeng madali o mahirap..
sinisikwat ng screwdriver ang star wheel sa loob ng brake drum, hanggang lumuwag at kumalas ang naipit na brake pads.
kung mamalasin, ay baka gamitan ng puller tool na meron naman sa maraming talyer.

pag kumalas na, ay bubuksan ang brake drum at papalitan ng matinong brake shoes at voila!
puede na namang lumusong!

the trick is prevention:
1. iwasan ang lumusong;
2. gumamit ng high quality replacement parts. riveted versus glued.. they have pros and cons.

magkano labor? mura lang.. elbow grease lang yan. nung bata pa kami, ay kami lang ang gumagawa niyan.
magkano brake pads/shoes? depende.. magkano kaya mo?
heh heh.

maraming salamat sa very helpful info doc. upon researching, mas cheaper ang brake drum setup kesa sa brake discs. most likely naman ang papalitan lang is brake shoes which upon checking sa suking olx eh cheaper kesa brake pads so kaya naman. hehe unless nadamage ang buong brake drum assy.
another car knowledge learned by experience.
so, need ko pa rin ba magpaunderwash? may mga need pa ba akong ipacheck para isang session na lang sa mekaniko?

Good day mga gurus, newbie owner here ng innova j 2.5, ask ko lang sana mga do's and dont's sa tamang pag aalaga kay inno. Salamat gurus.

[fektus]

pakiwari ko naman... baka maka-kalmot ng pintura ang makapal at matibay na cover, compared to lighter and easier-to-tear cover..

may possibility.. ma minimize lang siguro yan pag dalawa kayo mag lagay at mag alis which is hassle or need mo ng hagdan..

yung cover ko di ko na masyado nagagamit dahil sa morning ang pasok ko, asar alisin sa umaga at ibalik sa hapon ng solo.

Dun pa rin talaga ko sa garahe

VVTI Innova owner here and naka 215/55/17's ako. na try ko narin iakyat ng baguio un with 7 adults and 2 kids and a lot of baggage. sa kenon road din ang daan namin paakyat and pa baba. sa observation ko, mas stable siya at hi speed (hi way) and mas konti ang body roll after ko mag upsize. also i don't feel na underpowered ung gasoline variant paakyat sa kenon even at full load. ang pinaka gusto ko sa gasoline fed innova ay yung behavior nya at highway speeds. wala kang maririnig na engine noise and mararamdamang vibration. mas mahal di hamak ang pump price but for me its worth it.

Malamang nag lock ang braking system mo. Ganyan din nangyari sa 1st gen innova ko dati pero si misis ang nag attempt na nagdrive after inilusong ko ng knee deep na baha. It happened after tge car was left standing for more than 24 hours.
Sabi sa akin ay ayaw daw gumalaw kahit disengaged na ang handbrake. Hayun napadiin ng husto sa gas at biglang jump start paatras at pati gate namin na nananahimik ay nadamay hehehe.

my apologies!
i forgot to mention the more common cause of "frozen brakes" syndrome..
the shoes stick to the inner walls of the drum, when they dry overnight with the handbrake on.
it's not difficult to disengage these, although it may pose as a surprise to the un-initiated. with the engine running, shift rear and first gear alternately, rocking the car, to loosen the sticking shoes. bibigay din yan. but be prepared when it does, so as to avoid cracking tita's prize boungainvilla's paso..

buti na lang binaqnggit ni gumusut sa itaas.
