Recently realized my Vios got the metal scratching sound when started moving slowly from stationary. It's like "kik, kik, kik ,kik ~" faster and faster then no more.... What's the problem? (Vios G 2009)

My car alarm problem is getting worse. In this afternoon, my car alarm triggers 4 times in 30 minutes. It's quite embarrassing. In the end, I left my car unlocked so that the alarm won't trigger anymore.
*
Happened to me before. Told the SC technician about the problem during car service and they said no problem with the alarm. Then after that, no more problem d. Maybe they reset to default or did something, I'm not sure.

Anyway, I realized that the roof of my Vios is ridiculously thin.... can hear the rain drop especially those bigger rain drops from trees. It sounded like hitting on some empty milo tin shocking.gif ... seriously..... Anything I can do about it?

Morning people ~ my Vios 09' starts to have rattling sounds especially when the road is not even...... The sounds come from the driver's side dashboard. It's like a plastic rubbing against another plastic ~ SC can solve the problem right?

hi, did you manage to fix the rattling noise problem?
*
Nope ~ still haven fix it yet. But recently didn't notice the noise d, maybe because it's been raining for the past few days ~ and the noise of the rain hitting the roof of Vios is shocking.gif

Yes, the noise makes you feel like you are sitting inside a milo tin. doh.gif

Second that doh.gif and my friend pointed out to me that noise is much louder compared to his Forte ~ It's probably empty inside the "roof" ...... sweat.gif

Mind to ask Vios owner here what's your fuel consumption per KM? and what's the FC differences for Man and auto??
*
Mine is usually ~11-13km/L, depending on traffic condition ~ if always avoid peak hour then FC lower ~ 80% travel from Damansara to Sunway using LDP ~

Not sure about the FC difference between auto and manual, but I think manual give lower FC compared to auto given the same conditions (driving style, traffic)...... but manual is tiring especially when you're in the jam sweat.gif

Hi guys, do you guys feel that sometimes when you hit the accelerator, the gear is like not engaged? Like the car is in N mode. Then when RPM hit 2k then only the car start moving. Happen to me quite frequent especially after a speed bump.

Hi people ~ just want to ask, if I send my vios to toyota SC right, can ask them to do the usual maxcheck but then don't change the engine oil?
Cause I can get fully synthetic engine oil with the price I pay for toyota's semi synthetic engine oil.
Anyone tries before?

Hi ~ anyone know how much does a V-belt cost?
Just serviced my car in SS19 SC and the technician said V-belt needs to be change at next service.
And I also asked them to fix the noisy dashboard. Noise still there but not as loud but glove box can't close properly. Will set appointment again this week shocking.gif

At first thought it's the glove box but after checking carefully I'm sure the noise is coming out form the driver side dashboard ~

any recommendation on outside workshop that is good in servicing our vios?
preferable klang valley area.

kaitenazracing in Sunway seems to be reliable (visit viosclub forum), lots of vios owners service their car there. But I haven try yet, cause still under warranty whistling.gif

yup.. i used aorto lock on mine.. pretty good.. biggrin.gif
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?

I'm using semi synthetic but service every 10k as well ~ perhaps service every 5k is for those who are using mineral one.

woah... how much your mileage?

i service every 9k with fully synthetic... at 7k already can feel the car having less power and increased FC doh.gif
you didn't feel any difference? sweat.gif
*
now is about 59k ~ just did 60k service 2 weeks ago ~ wallet bleeding now...... can feel acceleration not smooth but then i just follow what the manual only ~ rarely rev more than 2.5k RPM also ~ so dont think need fully synthetic engine oil ~
