- headlamps "water/mist" issue: pls check the rubber seal at the rear of the headlamp. the part where u can remove to replace bulbs. in most cases, water goes in from there.

- tyres. this is the most important part of your car. pls avoid using cheapos..
i've tried GY ducaro - normal but not up to my expectations. 2 months i change liao..
now using kumho ku31 - very good on wet/dry.
fyi size is: 165/55/14, got it for rm170 per pc
i want can comment is, this kumho is better than sime/GY/A drive & falken ziex.
falken tyres are only good from 912 onwards. anything below, pls avoid it..

bro, kl - item + siap/pasang.. rm180.. better ask shop do it..

red color coolant = toyota coolant.. & its one of the best..
avail at most parts shops..

bro, flushing means release radiator water.. normally workshop will know how to do it.
advisable to replace water/coolant at every service interval & it's not costly.. below rm30 - toyota coolant

as for bodyroll, agree tht viva's terrible. i've installed rear anti roll bar & it helps. not necessary must be UR brand.. any brand will do as long as there's something holding both the rear lower arms..

hi its normal as viva ezi/elite use 14" tyres with low profile tyres.. so u hav to accept it..

the only thing we can do on tyres is to down grade to 13" as its profile will be higher..

bro 1116, of coz 14" is better.. moreover 14" looks better on viva..

yup agree on the locksmith thingy.. so its advisable to double lock ur car with steering/pedal lock...

bro kokhing, this looks like the small filter adapter.. normally installed at the engine return hose to filter.
not necessary if u r using your ori filter box..

no problem.. u might wanna try use a drop in after mkt performance air filter..
washable
better fc
more power

below rm200 if i'm not wrong.. been using for few year.. just wash it when its dirty.. after dry install back..

hi mine is green color..

hi i was thinking of installing it too.. but the supplier "close friend" would not recommend me bcoz most of the LCP in the mkt r not design for viva.. they r for kenari/kelisa..
viva is a bit different.. so they may hav side effects later.
so till now i'm still waiting for the actual LCP for viva..

my other car no problem bcoz its design for it.. so other side effects..

will keep u guys posted once avail for viva..
anyway u guys also pls update if have info..

zhapalang also do installation ah?

as for rought idling, i think ori viva's idling also kinda rough liao..

better do it asap.. 70k km shld b the due time.. i replaced mine at 68k km

to me, if use normal oil or semi-syn, u shld change it at every 5k kms.. not 10k kms as claimed by p2..
they r trying to make maintainance cost low.. but in fact the engine oil cannot last that long..

if u repl timing belt, change the water pump as well.. not too costly n its also about time liao..

as engine oil, any reputable brand will do. since its a small engine, try not to use thick oil.. 10w30, 5w40 is ok..
if can afford, use full-syn..

bro earl, not sure the exact price.. rm100+++ if i'm not wrong.. but there are many imitation in the mkt.. just becareful..

i use normal tap water.. my radiator n cooling system in tip-top n clean/free from rust.
tip is: flush n replace coolant at every service interval.. this is 1 thing that many owners ignore or neva take note..

aircond n alternator..
