kung whitish/blueish ang smoke sa tambutso mo every morning start ups pa check mo na lang.

AFAIK, that's just moisture.

blueish smoke? hmmm...

yup, its pretty possible din na moisture yun. iba kasi ang characteristic ng white smoke coming out sa muffler every morning start ups kung may some problem engine mo. the white smoke has a tinge of metallic smell and looks like the smoke after ka nag pa putok ng ribintador. Big puff of white smoke after the moment of ignition and then wala ng white smoke after.

me too! may white smoke at startup but its not eveident. I figure its just moisture since may water droplets sa exhaust.

initially problem ko lang yun squeaking sound sa loob, pero naremedy naman ng foam

[pepengtom]

ung white smoke, natural lang yata talaga un pag cold start.

*solidaudio,
hindi e, parang hind dun galing..

bakit pala naglalaway ung tambutso ko? may tubig na lumalabas?

tsikot pips,

Thank goodness!

Our dealer and Toyota Motor Philippines has already took care of our RAV4's problematic engine. We are already in the negotiation table. Hope it all goes well!

Please learn from our experience. Always, ask Toyota for the specified engine oil and Proper engine maintenance.

Yahooo!!! Patience and persistence is a good virtue. Keep it up.

I told you earlier that Toyota people (the orig one) are really customer oriented kaya sila lumaki ng ganito sa buong mundo. Only the distributors/dealers are giving them bad image.

My casa is definitely perfect lately.

Solidaudio,
You will be doing this forum a BIG favor if you regularly update us on your settlement (not necessarily on the amount of settlement coz it might be mutually agreed to make it confidential). You will be our "bench mark" for future reference.

This forum is definitely helping a democratic society like ours. MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA INYONG LAHAT.

I hope TMP is reading this thread :regards:

We would like to apologize for any confusion and doubts that may have risen regarding this RAV4 engine issue. We repeatedly stated on our previous posts that, it was not our intention to malign Toyota Davao and Toyota Motors Philippines in any way. It was just a form of inquiry, opinion and information gathering from car enthusiasts in this forum.

We sincerely apologize to Toyota Davao for having posted an enquiry that may have cost them their integrity as a dealer and as DTI’s Best Service Center in Region 11.

We are now ready to sit on the negotiating table for a “win-win” settlement.

Well... at least we know now that we consumers are not as helpless as before against erring dealers.
