I don't own a VIOS.
Dun sa 15-year old Toyota ko, Denso OEM since Day 1.![]()
Ok naman after 71,2xx kilometers.
Hindi talaga ako magtataka kung aabutin ako ng buwan bago ko maabot yung 1000kms. Unless may mag-aya dito sa bahay na OOT like Manaoag? Hehe.
Matipid pala talaga ang Vios. Very frugal to maintain pa. Guess my choice wasn't bad. Alat lang since di pa ako maka-contribute sa experience ko tungkol dun dahil wala pa unit ko. Saturday pa.
Meron pa ba sainyo nag-palagay ng thermometer? I mean para malaman yung engine temp? Parang useless na rin ngayon kasi bago pa naman yung kotse so chances of overheating is close to none...
paepal na din..Gen 2 Black vios owner here from Bulacan.. Bakit kaya tahimik ang kabayan kong SK chair Kevs dito pati sa KABILA..

masama daw kasi matatapon yung gas and walang space for the pressure change sa loob ng gas tank. but we do it every other full tank to prevent rusting ng spout.
i guess i'll just stick to OEM plugs. san kayo bumibili?
renzo, yung vios namin, 5 years na. wala naman problem with temperature. i guess maintenance lang kailangan. and check fluids regularly.
According sa friend ko naka vios 2008 wala naman sya prob. diskarte nya pag start ng auto my icon na temp cool wait daw na mawala ito bago sya umandar at saka mo buksan aircon. medyo sensitive daw aircon ng vios sabi nya. Temp ng aircon nya nasa gitna lang daw hindi nya binabago (nakakatulong daw ito to save gas) pag sobrang init at need nya taasan temp pinapatay nya aircon tapos tataasan temp saka bubuksan ulit ito tip sa kanya ng isang mechanic from toyota dubai.

Kung i-full tank ko man, wala na kong pang full tank ulit para masukat FC. :bwahaha:

Di ko alam yun ah. 7L first bar? Hehe. Kala ko 5.25 lahat. Sa bagay di naman talaga accurate by bars talaga. Minsan from 3 bars pag uwi ko naging 2. Nung ginamit ko kinabukasan naging 3 ulit. :|

Ahh to the brim pala. Dati ginagawa ni erpat yun noong medyo nasa low 40s pa ang gas, ngayon di na eh mahal na ng gas. Hindi ba masama yun pag todo karga to the brim?
Btw OEM spark plugs lang din gamit ko hehe. Replaced at almost 10k kms. Pwede pang gamitin yung luma pero better change to the new one na. Nasa 80 pesos lang naman each.

Sa Casa ako bumibili para sure na genuine part. Mura lang naman * P80 hehe.
Nga pala, sabi sa manual 5 years papalitan na yung coolant. 4 1/2 years na yung sa amin. This might sound stupid pero paano ko maddrain yung coolant reservoir? And what's a good brand of coolant to use next?
oo nga no. yung best-selling vehicle sa PH walang thread sa tsikot.hehe.
ours is a 1.5G 2007 Vios. first 2nd gen na lumabas sa dealer. after the launch night nilabas agad. I remember that day nung sinundo sa skul yung kapatid ko pinagtitinginan ng mga tao yung vios nun. head-turner pa yung vios nun pag may nakakakita sa daan. ngayon...kakasawa na. sobra..haha.
initial plan noon is FD. kaso biglang 3 na agad may FD sa Family. kaya my dad settled for a vios para maiba naman. I must admit na pag nagdrive ako, gustong gusto ko parin ng FD. lalo na pag nakikita ko yung malapit sa amin na white 2.0s na naka modulo kits and ducktail w/ modulo mags.. pero bumawi naman yung vios when it comes to reliability and maintenance. the 3-year warranty for our vios was useless.hehe. been to floods, rough roads, hit by a bus which made my fender look like a crumpled paper, wala parin. recently lang meron nasira. after 110,000kms, nearly 5-years later, the magnetic clutch for the A/C compressor died. sirain daw yun sa toyota sabi ng DENSO mostly innovas. then yung front shocks nasira, stress siguro from my 17" wheels. replaced with OEM parts, back to normal.
for maintenance, its cheap to maintain. even a student can maintain it. my bill for the X5,000 intervals were always 1,700 - 2000 on CASA using toyota regular oil.
Nung unang labas nga ng 2nd gen tawag ko sa kanya "Kokey"Bibili din pala ako after 5 years

Hehe. Kung nag-FD ka, you'd always wish that the maintenance was comparable to a Vios, or an Altis the least.
Mahal kaya magmaintain ng FD, tensioner, engine support & handbrake lever broke down on me and I'm still at just 50k+ kms then

*JohnM: Haha. Funny thing is, I had a quite similar reaction. Earlier this summer, I was looking at the Honda City 1.3S I must admit, I was impressed by the looks. Sabi ko, haha... this is no normal vios blah blah di pang-taxi blah blah. You know, your typical guy stereotyping about Vioses. Pero dito rin pala ako nauwi. Hehehe. Nung tumagal kasi, nagustuhan ko na rin yung looks and yung frugality nya.
Dati pangit na pangit ako. Ngayon ok na.
Unit na lang kulang
Last choice talaga sya sa amin. Pero after shopping around sinubukan namin yung display sa mall just for laughs. Ayun sold!![]()
