Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

Mga paps. May naka try naba dito na mag dpf delete sa innova nyo? Ano performance gains? TIA

[ronaldmb7]

Makukuha ko na yung unit sa saturday. Any tips mga sirs on what I should be checking sa innova and documents?

Sabi pala sa akin TPL is 2500 sa dealer, sakto lang ba yun? And ano palang diesel kinakarga sa innova? Salamat ng madami sa sasagot :D

[Putengs]

I go for petron turbo diesel or shell nitro diesel. Kung ano malapit sa place mo mas ok kung dun ka para convenient.

[ParticleX]

I transferred my sub and amp from my other vehicle, pinagawa ko lang sa Evangelista since I did not know yet how to dismantle the panels

After 2 days, the HU stopped working. Kinabahan ako kasi baka biglang nasira yung stereo hehe, pero logic dictates that hindi dapat madamay yung HU if anything goes wrong with the amp and sub since yung remote and RCA wires lang yung connections dun.

Checked engine bay fuse, intact naman. Checked HU fuse, intact din. Tight naman yung mga connections to the HU. binaklas-kabit ko lang yung main wiring harness, gumana ulit... weird

Meron palang built-in fan yung HU sa likod kaya yun yung source ng faint na whining sound on ACC mode

salamat sir. euro4 diesel pwede din no?

The regular diesel (now Euro4) should work just fine, bro.

Not yet satisfied sa 4 yrs? Ok na ok na yun for battery life

Gusto ko lang malaman ano ang orig na size ng battery ng gas na innova? Ang sabi ko plano ko ibalik sa dati nyang size na mas maliit. Pwede ba gawin yun? Hindi ako naghahanap ng mas malaki or mas mahaba ang battery life. All stock ang innova ko at walang accessories na dinagdag. Thanks

Hello Tsikoters!

Just got an Innova J .. probably one of the few units left for sale (accdg to the SA anyway) before the new Innova comes out this year..

As usual, Tsikot is a very, very useful resource in getting to know the ins and out of my new vehicle..

So far Im trying to read most of the posts here.. so its been very helpful. (although sometimes its slow in turning pages, dont know of its tsikot or my isp... plus when i use my ipad to browse, those ads keeps popping up.. )

Anyway, I try to research and read first before asking questions (esp oft repeated questions..)

Is there a thread here specific to Innova Accessories I can add on (TS HU, Speakers, spoilers, rear camera, etc) or is it lumped together in this General Discussion thread? I did try to browse thru the main "At the Parking Lot" forums..but thats for all vehicles, and most posts are a bit old na

Meanwhile I'll continue to browse thru the previous posts... but I might be back to ask specific questions next time... hehe

btw, just to contribute my own "New Car issues", I'll share mine.. (its very minor though)

Got the new Innova last Saturday, took it to Nuvali for a spin the next day, Valentines Day :inlove:

This Wednesday after filling up Gas in Manila, I had Tire Pressure checked..

and 1) I found out the Pressure was 45! I read in the manual it should be just 33...

2) After the gas boy reduced 3 tires to 33, the last one, the rear left tire, cant be deflated with the hose.. turns out it still has a rubber stopper in it.

Since I was coincidentally in Otis, I proceeded to Toyota Otis (not my Casa), and went straight to the Service Area, talked to some mechanics there who looked at it, tried to pry it out but cant, and gave up, told me to take it to my Casa because they might damage the pito daw and my tire gets deflated.

So this morning I took it to my Casa (Abad Santos) and 3 people looked at it (wearing the white polo), puzzled. One even adviced me to go back when its my 1K PMS na! I told them that might take a while and Im not driving around with a 4th wheel I cant measure the pressure..

(All along I was thinking I could do it myself using a paper clip, but I didnt want to in case ma damage nga hehe)

Finally they called in a mechanic (guy wearing blue mechanic coveralls) and he took out the hubcap (I guess for better leverage) and used a tool to pry out that pesky rubber stopper.

And they all act like its the first time theyve seen such a thing... I guess its an oversight from the Plant?

Questions:

1) Normal ba na 45 ang pressure of new cars? And di ba dangerous I drove around the highway with that much pressure.. kaya pala medyo bumpy.. akala ko ganun talaga ang Innova...lol. Although I havent hit the highway yet with the new 33 pressure..

2) Tama pala na 33 ang pressure, right? (accdg to the Manual)

3) Those guys in white polos in the service area (same uniform I guess with those CSAs in the office).. what do they do? CSA din? Mechanic weras the blue overalls...

4) Hindi naman helpful yung nasa Toyota Otis.. kailan talagang dalhin pa sa Casa ko? What if I bought it in Las Pinas or somewhere farther and Im in Manila lang?



Wala lang , natawa ako, it took like 5 guys in 2 Casas to do such a simple thing

my innova has 2smf. but it's a diesel.
why don't you just drop by or call the battery shop and the casa's stable of mechanics, sir? memoryado nila yang mga detalyeng yan..

yespo. puedeng palitan ng mas maliit na baterya. sa starting lang naman importante ang baterya.. pag umandar na ang makina, alternator na ang pinanggagalingan ng kuryente.

33 for the front tires rear: 33 w/5 passengers ; 35 w/ 7 or more passengers

Manufacturers will overinflate the tires by that much bec. the vehicle has to be shipped to its destination and there is some lead time involved before it eventually gets sold to the customer. It is the task of the dealership to do pre delivery checkup which include setting the tire pressure to the right value as indicated near the driver's side lower door sill.

Underinflated tires are far more dangerous and could lead to blow outs. Underinflated tires generate lots of heat which eventually result to blowouts.

2) Tama pala na 33 ang pressure, right? (accdg to the Manual)

You can locate the sticker that indicates the proper pressure (by the driver's side) or the owner's manual.

3) Those guys in white polos in the service area (same uniform I guess with those CSAs in the office).. what do they do? CSA din? Mechanic weras the blue overalls...

Guys in white polos are the service advisors. Think of them as the people who will face or deal with you regarding all your queries. They will "advice" you what to repair or replace. These guys have repair quotas to meet so take what they say with a grain of salt. Always have a second opinion elsewhere.

Guys in blue work overall are the mechanics. These are the individuals who work on the vehicle directly. The dealers rarely let these guys talk to the customers directly-That is the job of the service advisor.

4) Hindi naman helpful yung nasa Toyota Otis.. kailan talagang dalhin pa sa Casa ko? What if I bought it in Las Pinas or somewhere farther and Im in Manila lang?

Really surprising why they didn't know what to do.

Dealership should be able to accommodate any vehicles sold by Toyota Philippines.

Then again in your case they didn't want to accept any liabilities for something they did not sell directly.

If its a diesel, its definitely a 2SM.

Or another way is to check which battery size (1SM for gas or 2SM-diesel) will fit on the plastic battery tray.

At around 1500KMs, napansin ko there is an oily hose coming to the air filter housing:




Kailangan ko ba ng oil catch can? Saka ganito ba yung diagram, please confirm:

[dr. d]

perhaps if you replace those manufacturing hose clamps with more efficient, aftermarket ones, you won't leak oil...
and the hoses look a little worn, as well. replace, too?

hoses look worn lang kasi it is caked with oil. around 150kms pa lang on its odo. inside the hose eh it looks clean naman

di ko sure if eto nga yung kelangan lagyan ng OCC, wala kasing images on the net and tsikot for step-by-step installation on a 2KD

That's the breather or PCV hose. Yan talaga nilalagyan ng OCC.

Sa akin 5k+ pa lang tinatakbo, nagmamantika na rin dyan.

in that case, the vehicle is still under warranty. you best bring it to the casa, po. mine is still clean and dry, even as it has racked more km than yours.
also, the OCC installation might void the engine warranty.
