Dear all Hilux Owner,

I just go my Hilux 2.5 VNT AT and with ODO on 5200km andI just done my 2nd service.

My problem is the steering wheel shaking/vibrate in between 100kmh-120kmh. I told the SC about this, they done the balancing but still the problem exists. SC told me they need to rectify the problem as the steering should not shake after wheel balancing.

They suspect: Tyre problem or suspension system and need me to put my car overnight.

So, have any of you encounter such problem and how you guys solve it?

Thank you

had one case where the car vibrates when braking
it was due to a bent drive shaft

Hi,

Have just bought my first Hilux 3.0D. plan to remove the sticker at both side. anyone know the best way to remove them without damage the paint?

just remove by using hand then clean the excess glue it using dirt remover.

ok.thanks for the advice..

Hi all, my hilux 2.5 non VNT gonna be 2 years old after this month. I got some sudden passion of doing little mod on my hilux, like adding chip, install intercooler, change exhaust system etc. Just want to know, will these void my manufacturer warranty after doing it ? Thanks all.

Dont forget to use dmax turbo. Yes it will void unless you remove all mod before sending it to SC.

1 more year warranty. I think you shouldn't worry about it. How many milage has your hilux done?

Hi. Anyone know cost for tinted windscreen,rear & side windows for hilux using v-kool elite?plan to get the tint for my hilux. Current temperature is very hot..cannot tahan...

Mileage not much, just 40k+, driving in city area. Or maybe I'll just wait for my warranty end and start doing it, worry no more . But all these gonna cost me a lot !

I removed my sticker when i bought mine and it was a real pain in the a**. Just be careful with the residue glue. Don't use turpentine-based remover. You can rub it down with oil or non-corrosive window cleaner. Test on paint first in an unnoticeable area. Lots of info on this on the net.

Since you gonna tint your ride, here's my take:

1. Use the most heat resistant (and expensive) type on the front screen. It's the hottest area.
2. Use smash resistant tint on sides.
3. Use anything at the back.

RM2k should be sufficient, but more if you are loaded. Just bear in mind warranty against peeling and bubbling, and JPJ saman.

I personally prefer to tint my ride at a shop which specialises in tinting and has an enclosed area for tinting to avoid dust. I tinted few of my rides at Ecotint using Raybarrier tint and so far no issues. But if you big on V-Kool, go for it bro.

do you mind to share what kind/brand of remover you used? its ok if i use WD40?

I stupidly asked my hero mechanic to remove the sticker residue for me and his boy used turpentine which damaged my paint job. You can try 'Bug n Tar' removers from car detailing sections at department stores or Ace hardware. But like I said, test on an inconspicuous area first. DON'T use acetone or thinner based solvents.

I'm also thinking of upgrading my lux. needs more power.
d-max is a vgt turbo rite? how do you do it? need to add intercooler and chip?

no. it is the older version 3.0iteq turbo newer version is 2.5vgs.

that turbo can withstand up to 40psi.

yes you need to add intercooler.

add chip if its feels heavier.

thanks. will looking for remover you suggested.

talking about service mileage, previously the salesman told me that hilux can be serviced at 10,000km each, just need to ask SC to use semi of full synthetic engine oil. but when i go to SC, they told me that service for hilux can be done only on 5000km each and the diesel engine didn't have semi or fully synthetic engine oil.. i dont know who was lying about this.. but surely i need to spent more money for service..
