How do I know if engine is hot? Got warning?

Btw, I see two coolant tank..one is engine, one is white plastic tank..is it the same coolant water?
*
Engine too hot will show as an indicator in the panel.
The middle is for radiator coolant and the left side is for window washer tank.
The SA would already have teach u on the matters above when delivering ur car. Else you can refer to the maintenance book that is included.

Nothing beats the heat rejection of V-Kool 70% at 55% heat rejection for a 70% visible light transmittance film.

erm since day 1 i got my car, same day took to tinting.. other than that didnt change anything

Possibly could be due to the metal content that exist in the tint.
If you read the user's manual, there is stated that metallic based tint could interfere with the reception of the radio since the antenna is printed on the rear window.

If the buzzing sound happens already happen before you took it to tinting, then problem is not due to tint but more to the head unit problem. You can ask the SA to check for you on the first service.

1. There's like half second delay for engaging gears when you manual shift. If within that time you accelerate hard, will get a knock. You will get this even from N->D, or even on D itself where your car brake for humps, and then accelerate hard before the TCU engage the 1st gear.

2. the seat belt socket PVC wrap keep rubbing the seat.

3. slight different speed is alright. Even BMW/Merc don't retract in the same speed, if you try notice it harder.

4. How long you skip aircon service? How cold you set? Might have water condensed onto the blower filter and blower filter grows mold already.

5. No idea on the air duct.

6. Downhill + brake when around 80kmph will downshift to 3. Slope sensor will also hold to gear 3 longer when up hill. (Did you read the brochure?)

7. Engine rattling... how severe? Noisy on the road? Try changing your tire?
*
For the air con foul smell, did you check and replace the cabin air filter?

Hi, I need some advice. I bought a car fragrance recently and just notice that it has caused my audio panel/casing melted.

Is there anyway that I can recover? If no, how much would it cost to replace one?

It's still a very new car, so.. heartbroken... please help.

U can try to wrap the whole panel with cf stickers if u wanna cover the defect. cool2.gif

The new Vios has better fuel FC via update for their ECU and throttle body. What are the chances Toyota will update the Dugong with the latest ECU program coz using the same engine.

I'm facing the same problem as yours...

This friday will be my 1k service. I will ask the them is it normal or only is mine.

the sound is like water dropping on hollow metal root.

BTW, can i know what is ur spec???

Because mine is J spec so maybe they did not add on some sound proof at the root
*
The new VIOS have the same issue like previous NCP93R version? ohmy.gif

I thought that should have been resolved with newer model, instead of aesthetic changes only.
Even a Myvi roof has thicker steel and better sound proof.

Henry217, does the player have any memory card slot?
From the picture, can see usb slot only.
Can the USB port be used to charge hand phone?
Can make phone call thru bluetooth of the player?

Thanks for the feedback Henry. smile.gif
Then have to buy a slim or nano usb to make it a bit hidden compared to standard usb thumb drive.
Have you tried streaming mp3 via the bluetooth?
Plan on getting one too.

Guys, anyone here can confirm that G Spec rear speakers are 6x9"?
Can the mounting fit any 6x9" speakers like pioneer series?
