i think my bro Vios also having the same issue, but his only happens in the afternoon.. after a few time complaining to the SC he got it solved... i think what they told them is that a screw is gotten loose in the dashboard...
now no more issue with it


hmm my new Vios J comes with a 185 profile... i wonder how that's gonna fair? my previous Vios is on 195.... wonder if i should change it to 195 or just stay with 185 until it wears out...

kuman

got my new vios late in the afternoon...
feels pretty weird driving an auto.. my left hand and left leg always moving to change gear and press the clutch
still trying to adjust to the feel of driving an auto..

also noticed that the auto-lock is not functioning... previously the door should auto-lock when the car start to move.. contacted the SA .. and he will take a look at it tomorrow morning...

and definitely need a bodykit... the car feels naked and bulky...
and need some soundproofing as well


kuman

yup... kinda hard to teach the left leg to stay quiet
yup.. it should start to lock at certain speed...
was thinking about getting the G-limited but as you said.. they so far only have fibre type... so maybe go with the mainstream and get the Sportivo instead..
today going to survey some shop again...

at first i also think the same but it looks a bit bulky with the G-limited body kit..
so still pondering and thinking on which to get..

NO!!! dont tell me that the improvement model they removed the auto-lock!! i think thats a really nice features for Vios... i really like it alot...
so is there anyway to have the features back on? i never knew about the removing of the autolock... will see what my SA know about this because he never informed me abt it and its not listed in the improvement catalog... or is it? hmmm

kuman

lucky for you la like that will let and see what my SA say abt it
...
and maybe will take my car for a waxing near Taman Selasih there (near Cour Mammoth) seems like a nice job they did to a car last time i saw them.

this is my 2nd Vios (Vios J A/T (the first being the 2009 Vios J Manual),

OK.. vios J
- didnt include the signal indicator on the side mirror (but can add outside for around RM250/pair)
- didnt include the fold-able backseat
- didnt include rear spoiler..
- its a bare vios but WITH dual airbag, 15" sports rim, smoked headlamp, new fabric..

yesterday installed tint, bodykit, side moulding, door visor all done....waiting for some "fund" to grow on trees to put the side mirror indicator and the tweeter on the inside and maybe change the cd player...

based on my J-Manual last time, i manage to get around 80km before the 1 bar start to drop from a full tank fillup and it gets faster towards the lower bar.. but on average i got around 500km before the last bar start to blink... again that is on my previous J-Manual.. dunno about this new J A/T yet.. since still on my first tank full of fuel... wait to see when it will drop a bar...

a friend of mine manage to get from Kulim to Batu Feringghi via bridge with 1 blinking bar.. no aircond steady drive on his Vios Manual....

that is what my wife said also and on frantic calculation below.. it does make sense..
just the the accessories from outside..

yup since now already come with a sports rim, i can wait for the current tyres wear-out (maybe another 2-3 years) before i change the rims and the tyres..

i thinks there's a catalog somewhere in this thread before


image taken from previous thread here (this thread at page 97)

as for discount, i hear nothing from my SA yet... maybe something downthe line...

yup...
i got the Owners Manual, the Careplus, The CD Player Manual and a leaftlet on the reverse sensor operation

check with your SA

kuman

oooo

got got... just watch this space.. i'll post some shot before and after in a bit...

kuman

on my previous vios i have tons of scratches on the glove compartment and the area before the scuff plate... as photo below..



try to avoid such problem with my current vios.. still trying to find a way to protect it.. maybe a chrome cover maybe..

kuman

see thru sticker?? clear sticker? where can i get those....
a brilliant idea.....

the plastic sticker that you get with your car wont last.... it will come off later..

wah... notebook also cover with carbon sticker..


the carbon sticker looks like a nice idea... but does the sticker scratch resistant?
i never use a carbon sticker on any of my car before so i have no idea...

kuman

eh i can see that you installed the front UR bar...
i've been contemplating to install that as welllater.. but so far how's the difference driving with and without the UR bar? can comment a bit?

the new vios is RM76500(white)
with additional:
-dual airbag
-smoked headlamp
- 15" rims
- new seat fabric

care to share the link to the seller?
i need to cover the area fast before my kids started to scratch it..

i still owe some photo for luqueman

no fret..

i think the cash rebate promotion is not for the new facelift version but rather for the old version...
somemore at my local Toyota showroom.. they still have ready stock for the non-facelist version + cash rebate... and the really wanted to clear those because 95% of the vios order theyr eceive didnt want the wold version..

kuman

if my previous vios is any indication.. then i think we really need to cover those.. especially with the kids of mine.. they will stepon that first before getting in the car..

thanks for th e link



kuman

yup...

luckily i transfer it from my previous vios also
save la a few RM..

next month thinking of getting the front UR bar..

kuman

try asking your local showroom... from what i saw in the newspaper, they will have a promotion for Raya season... "attractive downpayment rebate" .. i have no idea whats that about
check it out at toyota site... still no details though http://www.toyota.com.my/highlights/july-promotion.html


hmmm ARB ekk...
i saw the front UR (in the engine compartment selling for RM250.. dunno cheap or not...

floating feeling is not good... need to check more which will actually eliminate the floaty feeling..

yup.. definetely will survey first.. and of course will try to source for the 4 screww... since i heard about the better feedback as well.


what can i say... Vios is all i can afford as compared to locally made cars..


FC & auto questions
- i never drive an auto car before... what are the do and don'ts that i need to observe in driving auto?

someone told me that better put the gear in N if at traffic light to save fuel... and down-shift to get the power to move again.. correct ka?

err is there any device that can add to the engine to improve FC?
and what are those HOT INZAMA thing and how does stabilizing voltage helps FC?

sorry for the questions yaa..

kuman

first time i hear abt it.. and did some googling and this is the tips that i found...
Ultimate Guide to Hypermiling..

still need to adjust a bit

so this is the first service correct?
you go with semi-sync or full-sync?

last vios i did semi-sync.... but this time around thinking of doing the fully-sync engine oil cycle...
service every 10K.. what do you guys think?

and on my next service going to ask them about the auto-lock even my SA didn know about the removal of the auto-lock... and will take a day off for this service...

kuman

yup.. i used aorto lock on mine.. pretty good..
and quite expensive when i put it before on my previous vios... just transfer over to the new vios no problem


so if use fully sync.. next service will be at around 10K km la kan? or we still need to go for the 5K km just to check?
