the rust at the disc brakes are pretty normal after you wash your car, after driving a while it will be gone, want to ask SC to check also can, let me know what they say k?

the side mirrors one faster than the other, they tested for me, other Vios also the same... don't know why... let see what they say for yours as well

you have any small small issue to add in also? i wanna make sure my service is done in this 5000km...

thanks for the info...

Wow, u have put a lot of complain for ur car reaching 5k.
Perhaps u can share feedback after ur service and let us know if that is a true defect.
This is from experience based from ur cases above.

1. Engine belt noise when cold start or after long hours driving. - haven't encounter this yet
2. Both front Door cable rattle when loud speaker or close door. - haven't encounter this yet.
3. Front window visor not sticking. - Can check and adhesive reapply by SC is u buy the G or TRD spec visor.
4. Rust at wheel hub & disc brake. - my G spec disc brake rusty only. my wheel hub still OK.
5. side mirror does not contract/retract at same speed. - me too. as long it can operate to close and open, doesn't bother me much.
6. readjust hand brake to tighter. - personal preference. i'm ok as long my car dun budge from P and parking brake applied on a hilly area.
7. in car power port is loose. move around alot when trying to access it. - mine can nudge up and down a bit. not sideways. I'm not worried as long it works with my ionizer.
I think that's the freeplay that toyota have set. if too stiff, then might break the device etc. i might be wrong.

If you notice a rattling sound during idle, ask them to check the exhaust part. They will re tighten the exhaust if required.

guys.. this morning accidentally knock those big size triangle cone and scratched my front bumper.. anyone knows how can i fix this.. can i just send it to those car polish or car wash centre for polishing? will it reduce the visibility of the scratch?

my vios is only a year old..

still can fix if the black plastic part not seen.... polish and buff it off.. perfect.

yeap.. still cant see any black plastic..

so, any car polish centre will do rite? cant work thinking of it whole morning.. lol.. thanks..

where can buy this?


Attached thumbnail(s)

any pic? if scatch a bit no into base paint stil ok with polish

How to remove the stain from visor? The black rubber thing. Is planning to change to plastic-type visors.

went to cars international for polish yesterday for FOC..

after polish cant see any minor scratches dy.. looks new from far.. but those deeper one can still be seen under sun (in certain angle la)..

Good to hear this...

My front bumper already starting to show the dents and chip
too much highway run already... i think i need to sticker the whole front bumper ... if not later sure alot things to polish and repaint

hey,just an inquiry...
currently i am driving vios E...the tayar is 14"...if i want to change to 15"..what do u need to change?and how much does it cost?

change rims... rims and tyres depends on your budget... mass market taiwan light weight rims should be around 700-900 per set of 4... PS3 195/55R15 RM280/donut... basically RM2k kua?

budget rm2k nuff to get a good set?
fffuu...need to start to save for that...

plan to get vios J spec manual but my friend told me the next election the car price will reduce, anyone know bout it

got cheap also... but tyres better get good ones, it will save lives

your friend is telling you rumors based on hearsay.

if only things were that simple.

Ask your friend, does he know how the opposition gonna implement it?
i bet he's gonna say just remove excise duties

true true....tyre is the one that touch the ground!

Falken is cheaper .. but not so durable. but if u drive economically... can last quite long.
slow cornering, dun hard braking / accelerating.... the tires last 60,000km for my case with proton saga time...
