Toyota Vios Owners & Discussions Thread

Thanks to both of you for sharing these infos. Lesson learned...never ever change your coolant when it reached 100k mileage . Case Closed coolant issue kumpanero.



bro 4 liters ang sa vios. may konting matitira mga kalahating baso ng coolant kapag ibinuhos na ang 2nd container (2 lts) sa radiator.
if you don't mind tips for draining & refilling the coolant.
1. flush the radiator with water -when the coolant is totally drained from radiator, flush it with water using garden hose. to make sure only ma-flush out ang kalawang or small debris inside ng radiator.

2. Coolant Refill- fill up until coolant is visible but a few inches below cap level of the radiator. Start the engine but don't accelerate. the coolant level will lower as the engine sucks in coolant. Continue to fill with coolant until the level stabilizes then install and tighten the cap.

3. finally, fill up the plastic coolant reservoir with coolant up to max level only. Hwag punuin ng coolant pls. Goodluck bro.

salamat bro! bagay talaga kayo ni cathy, isang mekaniko at isang detailer ^_^

Nagpalit nga pala ako transmission fluid nung 40K PMS ko. Change lang, 3 liters lang ata pinalitan.

Tapos nakita ko tong video ni ChrisFix sa youtube.
Can Changing your Transmission Fluid Cause Damage? - YouTube

Very informative.

Sa tires, bumili ako dalawang Goodyear assurance triplemax. 3320 isa. Nag isip ako kung yokohama DB70 (stock ng vios gen3), kaso ganda ng offer ni Goodyear eh...1 year road hazard warranty. Pag nasa 90% thread pa, palit bago daw.

[Devin miles]

Sa mga 2nd gen owners dito sino na nagpalit ng HU na 2 din? Patingin naman. Salamat

Heto Sir para makatulong galing sa 2015 Vios manual and sa 2013 Camry manual:

VIOS
Attachment 32150

Attachment 32151

CAMRY
Attachment 32152

Attachment 32153

these proves my side, thank you so much

inspect at every 40,000 KM for contamination, first replace at 160,000 KM then every after 80,000 km, the first checklist provided was when super long life coolant wasn't even used, thus the old checklist should be revised to the new standards...

save your money and the environment, read the users manual, coolant is not a part of the severe conditions because it is not being contaminated by any other fluid (cooling system is pressurized sealed system) not unless there is a leak...

[Stigg ma]

Ito naman sample job quotation for 80k pms

valve clearance is required to be inspected at 80,000 KM as per users manual, i wonder why casa don't do it (not included in the provided quotation)? no wonder i don't trust then and would rather do it myself...

[ronki]

Sa mga naka gen2.

Pa compare naman ng likod ng glove compartment niyo.



^Wala ba talagang takip yan? Yan yung nasa taas nung lagayan ng aircon filter..

Naglinis kasi ako nung isang araw ng filter ko, pag tingin ko may isang ipis pano kaya nangyari yun sabi ko...

Tapos pansin ko, yan pala yung intake ng hangin pag circulate lang. Tapos may vent yan sa taas na galing naman sa labas.

Alam ko pinababa at nilinis tong aircon namin...so baka mamaya napitik tong cover na to...

[JohnM]

Will check mamya. Mukhang may kulang nga na part dahil may insulating foam around the edge.

try to move the aircon setting from circulate to fresh air and see that thing move... therefore that is the duct for the fresh air and has no cover for it for its purpose... the main cover you can do is the cabin air filter...

[ronki]

I followed your suggestion, tama nga hehe. Nag sasara siya pag galing sa labas yung hangin.


Bali ang intake ng circular motion natin is yung sa paanan ng passenger side.

Guys, sorry to post my question here instead of asking in the Yaris section. I just got my 1.5G Yaris and noticed that the LCD Head Unit that Toyota installed is a bit misaligned. It's a bit noticeable since the bottom part is not symmetrical with the bottom panel. Those that have the new Head Unit LCD display, is this common or normal? Or should I have it repaired by Toyota?

Another thing I noticed is the steering wheel is not centered. Is this normal too or can this easily be fixed?

Thanks!

1. madali lang i adjust yan, kahit aralin mo nlng pano baklasin at i adjust yong mga turnilyo at ibalik ulet, pero kung gusto mo pwede mo din pagawa sa casa (pero ako wala ako tiwala sa casa hehe)

2. wala lang sa alignment yan, pwede mo ipa realign sa casa kase bnew pa (ako wala ako tiwala sa casa, sa labas ko ipa realign yan hehe)

Hi Everyone,

Looks like this thread is more active compared to the Yaris PH one! Questions for a new Yaris owner. :-) I just noticed that the steering wheel does not lock after I take out the ignition key. The SA told me that the model does not have a steering lock. Is that really the case?

Also, the stock battery seems to not be the maintenance-free type. I assume that you need to top up the battery fluid every so often?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

It will still lock. Remove the key and turn the steering wheel. You will hear or feel a click when it locks.

My other car has a Japanese-brand battery with fluid caps. It still starts strong and I haven't received advice from the casa to top it up after more than a year of use.
