QUOTE(BotakPrince @ Nov 14 2011, 07:34 PM) hmmm ok, 1 more thing. when i start my engine in the morning i get high RPM, around 1.5k or 1.8k...then when the engine warmed up i park aside and get about 900... that normal? i also read the manual about the ODOMETER switch, tried to check the L/KM but cant get it to work, can only cycle between ODO, TRIP(A), TRIP(B) and Lights...... hmmmm weird... how much do u guys usually get for a full tank? i get about 450km 50% highway 50% city driving style... maybe the engine hasnt completely been knocked in yet... forgot to add... is it true that u should turn the ignition key to ON for a few secs before cranking the engine? i heard this from a friend who said that the SA told him that... but nothing like that was mentioned in the manual... that is the engine warming up... the l/km is only available for S spec's optitron meter... just wait for the airbag light to turn off before fully starting the engine

I have really bad experience with my Dugong. Ends up sold out and change to Honda, so far much better ownership experience compare to my previous ride. Don know is I'm bad luck or what, my Vios just very bad, rattling all over the car, seat belt replaced, glove compartment lid rattling can't be solved. Brake sometimes not makan and drive by wire delay when ease up the accelerator. Sent to Toyota SC for checking all the ECU and wiring, found brake fluid got water, replaced free of charge even after warranty. My EPS is very poor respond and feel too light compared to my friend same model Vios, SC help me to initialized. So meaning that every Vios EPS giving difference feel and respond. Why got no standard??? They check for the rattling behind of my car, ends up forgot to fix my clip back after opened up for inspection. WTH!!! My door i complain about the front door rattling, the fix with double sided tape. I really very pissed off with Toyota quality nowadays. Compare to my family 1st model Vios, it serve well until today. At least better sound insulation and no rattling. They suspension really fragile, rear suspension already spoil for mileage 30k km car, imagine the quality! Front suspension give krut krut sound when it is still below 1kkm. Replaced by Toyota during 1st service. Overall, i really find that the price for the Vios with the quality offered are really not worth at all.

Just went for my first service. There is a problem with my car. During cold start, when I'm reversing the car or driving it out from my house, when I press my brakes I can hear the noise..like dragging noise. This stops after the engine is warmed up.
Told the sc during my service and it still persists after. Any ideas? Gonna send it back to the SC again but would appreciate it if some feedback could be given.

Guess what, this problem juz happened yesterday when my rpm dropped to <500 when on neutral gear, and d car stalled eventually. Went to sc tis morning n they diagnosed tat its O2 sensor issue. They will replace it for free since still under warranty. Fyi my car is less than 2 yr old at 59k km. Wonder why its lifespan so short=(

Hi buddy, I face 2 problems: 1. My car alarm triggers frequently. It alarms a few times every morning (these few days). Our car beeps one time (unlocked) and twice (locked). However, my car alarm beeps 4-5 times when locked. 2. In the afternoon, I notice that small amount of water flows from my car (front left side near tyre). Is it normal?
