might be bearing or drive shaft???? y not ask the SC guys to check???

well i did ask them to check on my bearings there is some feedback but i did not ask them to change... i change outside...

Bought & replaced a new battery at SC with Toyota brand (Low Maintenance).
No need to add distilled water for at least 10k - 15k km.
It's OEM brand battery by FB Thailand. 

I have checked with outside shop that sells battery, the guy said nowadays battery recommended to change for 18 - 24 months. But if we park under covered carpark or basement and not open carpark, then battery can last a bit longer as blazing heat from the sun also a factor in reducing battery lifespan

so expensive.. how many pcs? front or back?

where u get this quote?

now i using vios for my sales job, b4 this was a myvi ezi, totally not agree on this, easily close 1 eye that myvi SP is worse than vios... SP is subjective to everyone, and it also depends on some criteria and situation, for example, tire, weather, vehicle age and etc etc... most important driver will feel more noise and road feedback than passenger...

for vios, i chosen facelited E spec, due to dual air bag and not much difference than G and TRD, i dun need leather, as i like black interior more and TRD just accessories, if u hav $$$ go for it. after some discount, my car OTR below 78K. except proton, hard to get any more choices for budget below 80K, but UMW sucks a lot our money, the price we paid for vios should be a toyota axio...

is been a year plus for my E spec, mileage up to date is 59K, so far no major problems. only claim a small accessories, which they order from kl and takes just 2 days den ask me for appointment to fix it. damn fast i would say.

the real toyota still from corolla range onwards, vios just their budget car, but it still hav some toyota DNA on it, my other colleagues using city, civic, latio and etc etc, they hav their problems also, some even worse, claim this and that also. sometime i drove my manager's 1.8 civic to outstation, the civic SP just a little better bit than mine, i would said the difference is very minimal, but when it comes to build finishing and solid, toyota and nissan still done a good job.

SC plays an important role, since most of our vehicle on road do hav their own problems, after sales service, toyota still better, warranty claims, parts order, complaint and etc. i only go for umw branch service center, not dealer, some dealer not up to par yet.

give me the choices for a new car, i still go for toyota, i always concern on after sales service, since spent so much for new car, unless i buy 2nd hand... as my job in automotive line, there some other brands which even far worse than toyota, their SC standard damn  , like no different that buy from 2nd dealers...

much knowledge or not is depend how u look on it, for SP, there is no black and white, still depend on individual, maybe is another way's round?
those are my personal comment, i only speak from my own and real time experience rather than others bla like keyboard warrior...
trust or not? different ppl hav different perception.
cheers...

i dunno the ori is wat model wor...
can snap a pic?
i aso same spec well is double din player but dunno is pioneer or not...

Added on February 5, 2012, 8:20 pmfor those wanna noe how's the FC for vios..
here mine:

b4 i pump RON97 i was using RON95

tis is the pic i take at petrol station at LCCT there b4 i drive back home.
as u can see my fuel still got 2 bar wit 536.1km mileage.


tis is the prove to show u how much i had pump for RON97.


tis is the pic i taken when i reach home. as u can see from the timer.

well, the way i drive juz around 80-120km speed. 50 highway 50 city.
just to share =X

You car got serious problem if it idles at 6500rpm.

If you mean 650 and 760, I think that's within normal range, if just a bit low. Any vibration when idling?

for me..i pumped rm30 i can go 270km..
im happy telling this to my friends..

Yeah, you have to be careful with the sensor. I brought it to the mechanic and while waiting for the filter to arrive from the parts shop i opened up the MAF sensor just to have a look, and to my surprise its blardy dirty so i gave it to the mech and he cleaned it up for me.

I suppose its best to clean your MAF with a experienced mechanic since they have the right cleaner and tools and know what they're doing. Dont wanna screw up your MAF now do we.
