Dear PC owner,
After driving my car for a while, there is noticeable and annoying "eik eik" sound coming from back seat when driving on uneven road or enter pot hole and vibrating sound from the plastic cover below the steering.

The plastic sound can be eradicated when I hold it with my hand, so I suspecting is that cover issue. And the back seat, when I fold it and unfold it again, the sound gone for a while. Anyone experience this?
*
Not those exact problems but I think I am hearing something once every now and then from the left side of the car, possibly front or back, haven't quite isolated because it comes and goes. If it's anything squeaky I suspect maybe plastic or rubber.

For the rusted part at exhaust paip, my SA confirm that this is normal for every car (even the New Camry), and the rust just only the surface of the metal, just like the disc break. He said better don't spray paint or anything, as it already protected. (Dunno how true it is)

Yes, SC told me somewhat similar things about it having been treated/protected beforehand and that they wouldn't do anything after or it'll give off weird burn smells when heated (at least the part on exhaust).

Toyota aim to use 0w-20. Why our local SC said now they changed to 10W-30? UMW tipu us?

Toyota already started to push for this since 2005 and yet UMW still using 10W-30?

Yeah now that makes me wonder... oh well, we'll see how it turns out.

i think it's due to the weather here
20 might be a bit too thin in the high temperature that we go through everyday

I used to owned a Wira and I only sent to SC once, ie first 1k. I used it for 11years and it had never broken down half way on the road .I serviced the car my self most of the time, oil, air filter, oil filter, and spark plug.  Air con and alternator never mulfunctioned even after running for 200k+km.
For PC, I think the local SC guys probably just do all these basic things. The point here is: you can DIY if you want to save money and time.

Yes, my vios i DIY myself with my friend who was a SA before. All the mods on my previous vios, I put it by myself with the help of my friend

QUOTE(Takahashi88 @ Jun 15 2012, 01:14 PM)
Hmm... It is quite pricey, but is there like a workshop outside that can service hybrids? I don't want those that say they can and in the end they messed up your car...
*
hybrid and other cars are the same, you service your hrbrids just how you service your old Saga, Iswara, Nissan Sunny or Toyota Supra.

All we need to be careful is do not touch anything thing that connected to the hybrids. Just normal service will do...

Fully agree. If the design were to be so complicated, they would end up busy training the mechanics to be the experts.

What to worry?
Last time my Vios I modded:
1. Front bar, front lowered arm bar, anti roll bar, rear boot bar
2. Grounding
3. Voltage stabilizer
4. Open pod
5. M7 Em-con unit
6. Silicone hose
7. Alarm
8. Air con filter

I can even claimed the most expensive part which is the sterling rack for free

If want to be strict, even u change a rim they also can void your warranty..

u really my sifu.... because i read the us manual and the SA also tell me if u miss any service, they will void the warranty.. so i worry.. actually im thinking to service my own once i got mine.. but 9xk car if got anything happend then repair is kao kao one...

btw, do you service your own vios before claim that sterling rack?

RHB offer me 2.4% for 85k 5years... for those who like to know.

Already replied. Yes, outside service

With my bars on an they first claim my front lowered arm bar that cause the spoiled I asked back how it can cause the problem. They tried to push as much as they can since sterling rack is the most expensive spare part (not including engine la of cos)

Now I almost reached 10k and the next service will be around 600+ if not mistaken.

@beck_ken, @kevinttk
What kind of mileage are both of you getting? Or anyone for that matter? Maybe we should have a mileage stats on the front page hehe.

Is anyone else going to post some of their routes on google maps or trip log from gps (if that's even possible) so that others can see what kind of mileage they get in comparison with other people? Would be interesting to see the kind of mileage all of us can get for the same routes.

Congrats on receiving smile.gif hmm, about that plastic panel I will go check mine and let you know. Whenever I'm told something is "common" that instantly makes me think it's the opposite lol (I mean when it is coming from a sales type of person).


About the rear left side plastic panel just below the rear left fabric seat that always pops out even after u press it in will expose a huge gap & is confirmed a manufatured defect. My SA told me it's "common" & come back to check on 1st 1000km service. I insist it to be fix immediately & I've already settled the problem or else it is expose to dust. Sometimes I m fed up with SA which is lazy & ignore the problem. Some of the SA are like that after u sign the dotted lines. We must be firm or else we have to wait until service period. Like this issue is a critical problem bcos the big gap will expose dust & other elements like water to the high voltage hybrid battery which is dangerous.

I tried to take out the car jack today. I think all owners should try this so that you know how to remove it easily when you really need it next time. Push the seat to the front to the maximum and the plastic cover can be removed by pressing the clip. Loosen the jack by turning the screw.

Tried it, good thing it was straightforward. What's meant to be under the drivers seat btw? Just a gap for putting something under there?
