Welcome to V3 (finally!)...

copy and paste from V2 tongue.gif

Hi Folks!
Feeling weird that there is no Toyota vios owner's thread here, and soon I getting one, i decided to start a new thread for all vios owners and those potential buyers seeking information on the Toyota Vios, both previous gen and the current gen! This also acts as a info sharing hub for all Vios owners.

This is open to all owners!
1. 1st gen (2003-2007)
2. 2nd gen (2007-2013)
3. 3rd gen (2013-current)

Continue from V1...
Continue from V2...

me also do balancing outside....
and yes.. their charges is like that.. my experience servicing..

i would think better wait until after warranty then only service outside....
i for one really glad that i stick with their service... have to change the master brake controller (err not to sure what its called but the big black round thing attached to your firewall on the engine side that control the brake system) at around 30k km last time and that this thing cost around RM800 plus if recon unit.... shakehead.gif

really glad i did maintain the service wth them

Just punch in some fuel calculation in Fuelly.com,
so far on my 5th fuel-up the best i manage to get it 12.3 km/l

dunno if this is ok or not for an Auto Vios.. biggrin.gif i think should be better but again i'm driving at 90% city driving

me too around 9 average... depending on my mood on the day of service...
also depending on their coffee machine... if the coffee machine is working (it makes a darn delicious cup of coffee)
if i have to wait a long time to get back my car then the rating will drop laugh.gif

no, it will not void any warranty as not wire to be splice during install. Depend on individual to take out or not during service.

Hey guys, I owned a vios TRD for 3 years. I guess is time to change my tires even I seldom drive it. Remain low mileage but I suspect the rubber are harden already after 3 years.

Any recommendation of tires ?

My requirement is more comfort and lesser road noise. No need performance , I don't do sharp corning. As long as comfort and less noise is good. Price wasn't really a problem. Safety comes 1st.

maybe you can try XM2... its a comfort tyre... long lasting...

i am choosing between XM2 and PS3 but will be going for PS3 later because i drive fast and whack a lot of corners doh.gif

other comfort i think will be Continental CC5, but i heard not that durable... maybe you can check out the tyre thread for more advices, more experts there smile.gif

XM2 and PS3 comes in 195/55/R15
PS3 got 185/55R15 also

16" not many choices unless you go wider than 195... i was planning an upgrade but there's only a handful of 195/50R16 (conti CPC2 (fiesta), C.drive 2)
i think more choices if you take 205/45R16... but the prices are near the 17" region... check out the tyre thread, lots of info there smile.gif

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.

i'm planning to change to 195 55 R15 tyres next time... wondering if the current stock aloi sport rims( J July 2012 version) can cater to the new tire size? since now it uses 185... i know next to nothing regarding the rims... or i need to change the rims as well in order to use a bigger tires? (which i hesitant to do at the moment)

again referring to my previous Vios... using NCT5 the meter showed 40,000km (when i let go the ride, all 4 tires thread close to "botak" already) but last week i saw my previous vios with its new owner, still using the same tires!!

and yes.. i specifically look at the tires since i was planning to change it before i decided to let go the car whistling.gif the new owner still didnt change it... shocking.gif

man.. i missed my previous rims.. ULW rims...

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.

Added on August 22, 2012, 10:20 amThe repair scam is back again.
A forumer posted the same tactics back in V2.

Repair Scam
*
all below is compared to new Vios:-
1. Belt adjusted... Service Adviser claim "the cable will expand abit after few km run, just tighten back to standardised tension will do. (will test it later back Alor Star)
2. Nothing done... (test with the mechanic no more rattle... some how miracle???)
3. Nothing done... (SA claim that it is used as sponge, not taped/glued.. so is expected to not sticking..) sweat.gif
4. DID!!!! icon_rolleyes.gif ... (noticed a layer of paint on the place. no more rust at the hub... thumbup.gif )
5. Nothing done... (SA said is compared to new VIOS, so is expected) sweat.gif
6. Nothing done... (SA said the tension is in spec, tighten more will cause the handbrake to drag/not release properly)
7. Nothing done... (all is same in all Vios, expect it to wobble, SA claim it is just 1 clip at the back holding the port.) sweat.gif
8. fabric on the seat, they just cut the extra treads... nothing much.
9. free car wash... (they actually make it more dirtier to my leather seat vmad.gif ).. have to clean it up myself.
10. eVoucher used... pay Rm65++ for mineral oil&gasket (not sure about why not discount Rm20.. expected price is below Rm80)

overall service satisfaction:-
the goods.
1. the SA willing to check everything I complant.
2. the rust part is FIXED!! biggrin.gif

the bads.
1. free car wash is not good at all.
2. no ppl to send u to work, need call fren to pick me up to work.

next round 10,000km (RM323.50 with full syn oil)...
the SA said need do wheel alignment&balancing... RM50!! <-- this can reject or not? as i said i do outside? icon_question.gif

so now u're at 5000 km right? and you just follow their recommendation to use Mineral Oil? its no problem since my SA also suggested me to use Mineral Oil in my next 5k km service as well (now i'm at 2.5k KM and expect it to get over 3k after my trip this weekend)... he told me that on the 10,000km service then only consider to use either semi-sync or full-sync... but no reason given as of why recommended at 10,000km? anyone can enlightened me as of the reason? (apart from it will cost more biggrin.gif)
.
- as for balancing... last time i just said i'll do outside... the SA said ok.....

thumbup.gif as good reason enough for me.. biggrin.gif

so no visible impact to the engine if using Mineral correct? my SA strongly suggest to use Mineral.. maybe he wanted to help me save some $$ as well....

previous vios.. i stick to semi-sync sine the first service until around 40k km service... now new owner .. i have no idea on which oil he uses...

err.... from what my Service Agent told me... they decided to disable the feature (or remove it) due to complaints from owner that the system might go psycho on a rare occasion.... i for one really missed the feature and previously it never failed me ...

but now with the new vios.. just need to remember to lock it... but hmm i cant seems to remember that once we manually lock it.. will it automatically unlock once the engine is off? i believe its not... so no safety la like this... ohmy.gif ohmy.gif hmmm..

so for your 5K using mineral la ekk.... i might be going the mineral way in my 5K service...see how the condition when i hit 5K.. now at around 3K this weekend should reach 4.5K.. long trip planned!!
i guess you can be the benchmark already since you really kaw kaw tekan your accelerator.... thumbup.gif and if you're using Mineral no problem then should be ok to go ahead with Mineral....

according to the Service Agent.. for 1K service.. they recommend to use mineral since you're going to replace the oil again at 5K (4K away).. so he said (at least my SA) to use mineral first.. then when you hit at least 5K/10K then can consider to use Semi/full sync.... i guess i'm following their recommendation la kot.. sweat.gif

according to the Service Agent.. for 1K service.. they recommend to use mineral since you're going to replace the oil again at 5K (4K away).. so he said (at least my SA) to use mineral first.. then when you hit at least  5K/10K then can consider to use Semi/full sync.... i guess i'm following their recommendation la kot..  sweat.gif
agreed... and lucky for you also.... i missed the auto-lock  wub.gif
*
4k mileage, my car engine not smooth anymore...fuel still ok if just maintain 120kmh..3-4 bar left if from putrajaya to kedah....if 140kmh, fuel suck...just wait for 10k service, using semi syntetic oil...

they told me at the first 2 services... subsequent services after 10k, they straight recommend semi/full synthetic... i asked them about them claiming 10k for mineral, they say don't have doh.gif

i'll stick to the normal service period:
semi - 7k km
full - 9k km

i'm on full, i service at 9k km cos 7k km already the car sweat.gif

My car will be reaching 10K service. I will probably use full syn and top up with Torco MPZ2.

Mineral oil these days can go up to 7K.
It's up to the owner to replace every 5K if they wish. The extra K is just for reserve in case the owner is to busy to send the car for servicing. biggrin.gif

Depend on how you drive... if low mileage or less use your car semi is good enough....last time semi i change every 3~4k and fully every 5~6k.... on toyota oil...

For flushing things.... dont ever do it on any engine or GB.... this will clean oil, dirt, micro size metal that been in our engine from the 1st day the engine start to life... if it able to clean fully but if not it will be cause other part to be damage.

Amsoil dont have gold it call Signature range 0w30 best of day to day use...

If a good Full syn oil why do we need use torco MPZ2? every full syn maker have their own blend if add torco MPZ2 in our oil to make it perform even better why in the 1st place they dont wan to make a better full syn beside at torco MPZ2?

only add additives if you are not using a premium oil. E.g: Mineral Oil
Amsoil premium oil is one of the best in the market. It won't get any better with additives.

about 9L/100km at full 100% city driving.
highway is about 6-7L/100km.

of course there was a time it went up to 10L/100km.
after changing the filter and use a better engine oil things improved. biggrin.gif

it's even better after i cleaned the MAF sensor a few days ago tongue.gif

after 5yrs of owning the car without a single major problem, i am a happy driver smile.gif .
it's all about restoring and maintaining a healthy car brows.gif
Toyota has saved me quite some $$$ i must say laugh.gif

meaning not advisable to change to KNN?
Maybe u r right regarding the KNN filter or the stupid SA simply trying on trial n error becos i remember i ask him after changing the o2 sensor n Map sensor, is the throttle going to be normal, simply answer maybe n not sure. WTH

i did my research on K&N filters before purchasing them.

not a single car problem was reported to be caused by the filter.
only research papers stating that its not blocking 99.9% compared to the stock ones.

but hey, if you wear a mask that blocks 99.9% of particles, breathing ain't gonna be any good either blush.gif

I'm pretty sure a reputable company who has been doing filters for so many years knows what they are doing wink.gif

Bro are you sure you did not "over-oiled" the filter?
it has to be completely dry before placing them back in again nod.gif

what i did hear was an over-oiled K&N screwing up the sensors though laugh.gif

do update us if you found out the cause though, its gonna be real helpful as a lesson for us to prevent this costly replacement sweat.gif

This morning my car suddenly jerking n when moving slow press throttle paddle feel like no power at all, n send to Toyota service for checking n was told the 2pcs of o2 sensor n MAF sensor spoilt. Need to change n cost RM1800+ n not including workmanship. Wonder why 3 sensor at one go. No choice n have to place order, 2moro only can arrive the spare parts, Hope everything will be fine after changing.Anyone facing this problem before n why the sensor so expensive.

wah..really bad luck... do you have any engine check light? how is your car FC doing before and after replace the 2 O2 sensor and a MAF sensor?

MAF will be spoil in few ways like over oil your KNN filter, use the wrong type of cleaning chemical to clean your MAF sensor or damage during cleaning.

it also could be your throttle body electronic chip damage.

the price is about there the 1 really expensive is O2 sensor.


[quote=Dickong,Sep 4 2012, 06:12 PM]Bro, my KNN air filter clean every 8-9k n throttle body clean every 10-15k interval

wah you really clean your filter and throttle body, have you check how long can a KNN filter last and how many time can be clean? as we know nothing can last forever....


[quote=kenji1903,Sep 4 2012, 06:28 PM]meaning not advisable to change to KNN?

can be clean but during oiling the filter maybe over do it....

yes there dont have correct answer for this it could be your throttle body electronic chip...... before change do SA show you the error code that cause your engine jerk?

some time there dont have strait answer for your problem.

yes bro.

increase hp.
lower FC.

how lower is the FC still depends on the foot though... blush.gif
as revving at low rpm is much easier tongue.gif

even Toyota SC themselves could not pinpoint the problem of their own car

better scold them bro, and ensure the sensors does not need to be changed as it is not the cause of the problem.

or you're gonna get a huge receipt from them sweat.gif

The company knows what they are doing, most of the time is the user. A filter is a filter. Hi flow filter is letting in more 'dirt' as well. And hi flow filter user need it because they want to race and thus rev high. If you hardly rev your engine and use hi flow filter, what is the use for hi flow filter? Having more 'dirt' passing the sensor is asking for trouble. It is even worse if you don't rev, slow 'dirt' stick on the sensor more easily than a very fast 'dirt'.

And the 'dirt' reduces your engine lifespan relatively as well - hence racing people like to change their oil more often because those much 'dirt' came via their hi flow filter and engine oil & filter need change more often.

If you stay with hi flow filter and still happily do 10k km engine oil change... think about it. Logical or not, up to you to decide.

bro this is the first time i saw such claims. That using the hi flow filter K&N gonna ruin the sensor.
Even if i change engine oil + filter every 3 km, judging from your post my sensor will die off as well.
the sensors are the nearest to the air filter. Engine oil would be another issue for discussion.

I am not saying using these high performance filter we do not need to service that often.
but to me regular service is just fine. if you want 10k, use a premium full synthetic, switch the filter in between.
or go for semi 7k, or mineral 5k.

nothing out of the usual to me whether or not i use the K&N.
(a 30k km Temp sensor/MAF cleaning wouldn't hurt too, and throttle body cleaning)

I will keep in mind what you said though, and observe like usually i do.
(Hopefully i can keep this car for another 2yrs tongue.gif )

P.S: one thing i find it contradicting though. If like you mentioned its the user's fault instead of the company making those filters, why wouldn't they recommend the maintenance needed to use the filter in the first place? Beats me... blush.gif

I too faced the same issue last year, but they change the O2 sensor under warranty, its only $600 plus. Why are yours so exp? I wonder why the current gen Vios have this O2 sensor issue.

Fyi, the same prob (rpm drop) happened again after 2 months replacing the sensor. I couldn't be bothered anymore. Kinda disappointed with Toyota.

Hi Guys,
I just got my vios J (M) 2 months ago, and current kilometer is around 4500. i am having the issue like very hard to go for "1st gear", it just feel like something stuck in middle, and have to go for few times.
Anyone else facing the same issue with me?

also, when i try to start up my engine for every time, the engine sound is similar to "Lion Shout", dam bising la.. haiz

Besides, dashboard and passenger seat also have some weird sound during the ride.

Yes. The engine oil thing have nothing to do with the sensor but to keep in mind high flow air filter do affect somewhat. And of course you can do your regular service with regular intervals. I'm just saying it now to prevent years later will come back and complain their Toyota keep having problems here & there where they were using additives and aftermarket parts everywhere. Well of course I also hope all the cars owned by everyone would last.


The company is targeting certain users and certain driving patterns (hence they keep mentioning high performance). Nothing to be contradicted. Someone can also feed the cheap-branded Nasa engine oil into the engine and yell in the forum claiming Toyota engine sluggish, low quality and sucks but mentioned nothing about the Nasa oil because they had sold million of litres but no complain.


And regarding Toyota SC, they are a waste of time.


Added on September 7, 2012, 9:07 amOh yeah talking about the throttle body, our service schedule do mention when to do it. But I doubt Toyota SC did it because my throttle body module is dusty, even after service, no even a mark or finger mark smudges away the dust - it is left untouched.

With my previous Vios (M) i also faced with the same 1st gear issue for the first 2-3 months but after a few service round it seems to be ok already no more issue with the 1st gear and reverse gear...

as for the sound in the dashboard.. maybe can check at the glove compartment.. some people said this is the place where most of the sound is generated ( the glove compartment body hitting the dashboard body).... but my brother vios actually have a sound coming out from the dashboard (on top of the meter area) and toyota open up the thing and put something to where the sound originated....

Well, I faced some idling issues too, 1 year ago, when I had my Vios G for 4 years at 126k. My car could not idle for long, anything more than 1 minute, the engine will stutter than die. This is especially so at traffic lights and traffic jams. Went to my usual mechanic, he thought it was the MAF. I changed the sensor for RM280. Problem resolved for 3 days. Then the same problem came back. He later serviced the throttle body. The car was all right was 2 days, and not surprisingly, the problem came back. My mechanic went to his friend who had a better diagnostic tool, and it was reported throttle body failure. Changed the throttle body. Luckily he is my usual mechanic, did not have to pay for it, just use it first and see. And 2 days later, back to the same issue. <<i'm a naughty boy who just used a naughty word>>! Very fed up and very stressful driving the car in KL. Anytime can kong!

Went to another place recommended by a KIA sales agent. This mechanic is a sifu with Vios in Sunway industrial park. Seems even the Subang Jaya Toyota service centre will refer chronic cases to him. He checked my coils, 2 bad coils. Ok, changed them. Better now. But… you guessed it, the problem came back. Now I am really pissed. I then remembered from my days of driving a Conti, the issue could have been related to the O2 sensors. So I got the mech to change the sensors. He did not have new stock but he got some old ones with the same specs (but different sockets). Anyway, he modified the sockets to fit my car. Lo and behold, the problem disappeared. Drove like that for a week until I had the time to install the new O2 sensors.

Idling back to normal, very smooth, even at 600 rpm. Even when the aircon cuts in and out. With aircon on, it idles at 750 rpm.

Total damage, for the MAF – RM280, coils – RM1,320 (ori from Japan), O2 – RM900 (ori from Japan). Throttle body return to my mech.

Fast forward 1 year to last 2 months… idling went flaky a bit, can feel the car vibrating a lot but idling speed still at around 600 rpm. Feels like dying but never died.

Checked with the 2nd mech, tested, everything ok except that when I am in D, my idling will drop further to 500 rpm. Seems my gearbox is putting a lot of drag on the engine (well, I had gearbox issues when the car was 6 months old), kept sending to SC Toyota and they always claimed nothing wrong. But if nothing is wrong, why the h#ll does it “bang” into gears when I am on full throttle? Ok, I drive my cars hard.

Anyway, the mech also found 1 engine mount about to koyak, hence the vibration. For prudent measure, he also adjusted my idling a bit higher, so now it idles at 750, with aircon on about 800 and when I am in gear, D, it drops to 600 rpm (the drop is a bit too high per the mech and he says it could be my gearbox issue now about to manifest into something bigger). And it has been like this for the past 2 months with no further issues. Still driving it hard (I usually “explore” the upper reaches of the RPM).

And since my car is about to be 5 years old and I am getting fed up with the issues, I have already sold it but still using it until my new car arrives (which I have booked 2 months back and SA not sure when the car is coming). Going to other brands… also from the EAST.

Ok, that is my rant for the day. I know it is a bit long but….

The dashboard sound I also have, complain once, and they say is some wire hanging around and knocking the dashboard and fixed already.

For the 1st gear problem, if your are is already moving, it is normal hard to engaged back to 1st gear.

this is a good sharing bro.
and an eye opener too shocking.gif

i had the NCP42 same 5 yrs old currently with me. I bet yours is the newer version NCP93?
apart from regular servicing and a major one after 5yrs & 100km mileage, i don't have any problems with my car at all. In fact, it still feels very much alike the first day i had it. smile.gif

The insides of NCP42 vs NCP93 should not differ that much, which is why it is still very hard for me to believe your past experience. sweat.gif

Mind to disclose your new EASTERN car? tongue.gif

This is especially so at traffic lights and traffic jams. Went to my usual mechanic, he thought it was the MAF. I changed the sensor for RM280. Problem resolved for 3 days. Then the same problem came back. He later serviced the throttle body. The car was all right was 2 days, and not surprisingly, the problem came back. My mechanic went to his friend who had a better diagnostic tool, and it was reported throttle body failure. Changed the throttle body. Luckily he is my usual mechanic, did not have to pay for it, just use it first and see. And 2 days later, back to the same issue. <<i'm a naughty boy who just used a naughty word>>! Very fed up and very stressful driving the car in KL. Anytime can kong!

Went to another place recommended by a KIA sales agent. This mechanic is a sifu with Vios in Sunway industrial park. Seems even the Subang Jaya Toyota service centre will refer chronic cases to him. He checked my coils, 2 bad coils. Ok, changed them. Better now. But… you guessed it, the problem came back. Now I am really pissed. I then remembered from my days of driving a Conti, the issue could have been related to the O2 sensors. So I got the mech to change the sensors. He did not have new stock but he got some old ones with the same specs (but different sockets). Anyway, he modified the sockets to fit my car. Lo and behold, the problem disappeared. Drove like that for a week until I had the time to install the new O2 sensors.

Idling back to normal, very smooth, even at 600 rpm. Even when the aircon cuts in and out. With aircon on, it idles at 750 rpm.

Good info..... notice this if idling RPM not smooth this is not only happen to some vios but also some nissan owner as now days most of the car maker use drive by wire technology .... as inside the throttle body chip is damage or the motor is damage....

Any car brand is a liability and have their own problem.

I too faced the same issue last year, but they change the O2 sensor under warranty, its only $600 plus. Why are yours so exp? I wonder why the current gen Vios have this O2 sensor issue.

Fyi, the same prob (rpm drop) happened again after 2 months replacing the sensor. I couldn't be bothered anymore. Kinda disappointed with Toyota.

Vios has 2 O2 sensors, around RM600 each.

dtna7 - Yup, mine is NCP93. Besides the idling issue, the car has been reliable. Even when it had the idling issue, the car got me stranded only once. The rest of the time I managed to limp back home or the workshop, but very stressful driving.

For the NCP93, the accelerator is drive-by-wire whereas for the NCP42, it is still cable operated. IICRC, NCP42 only 1 O2 sensor whereas NCP93 has 2. Actually the car has held up pretty well considering I like to torture my cars. According to my 2 mechs, they even agree with me the NCP42 is a more reliable car, lesser issues. I have come across 5 other NCP93, around the same age as mine suffering the same idling fate - O2 sensors. Hmmmm, planned absolecense of the O2 sensors?

One of my mech advised me it is better to use RON97. If cannot afford, then better to alternate between RON95 and RON97. From his experience, the RON95, tends to run hotter and burn the O2 sensors faster. That is based on his observation because whenever he comes across O2 sensor problems, he will ask the owners what fuel they us.

In a way I have to agree with him because when I alternate RON95 and RON97, my car actually idles better.

My new EASTERN car? From the kimchi land. I have one already for my wifey (a Forte 1.6SX). Changing my own Vios for the Elantra 1.6 HS (only hope the damn SA do not FFK me or I will cancel my order and stick with my dugong). Personally both the kimchi cars are better "cruisers" whereas I find my dugong better for cut and thrust style of driving rolleyes.gif brows.gif. At higher speeds, I find the kimchi cars more relaxing to drive whereas the dugong is more frantic.

Since I am getting older now, I need a more relaxing ride. Those days of spirited driving is slowly going away.




QUOTE(dtna7 @ Sep 7 2012, 09:39 AM)
this is a good sharing bro.
and an eye opener too  shocking.gif

i had the NCP42 same 5 yrs old currently with me. I bet yours is the newer version NCP93?
apart from regular servicing and a major one after 5yrs & 100km mileage, i don't have any problems with my car at all. In fact, it still feels very much alike the first day i had it. smile.gif

The insides of NCP42 vs NCP93 should not differ that much, which is why it is still very hard for me to believe your past experience. sweat.gif

Mind to disclose your new EASTERN car? tongue.gif

So, the prime suspect is our RON95 fuel huh? That kinda makes sense as I rarely go for high octane fuel. Gotta alternate between 95 and 97 to see any improvements

Hi, anyone here encountered before Vios near radio unit there produces weird noise, such as some small piece of stone or sand jumping around when the car moves through un-even roads.

Anyone here got this problem fixed so far? I believe many people face this as I remember last time someone used to feedback this at here as well.

Changed to use Petronas and my dugong accelerates smoother and easier. Previously using Esso. Used to have problem when I want to accelerate after slowing down to cross speed bump, like the gear in N (RPM up but no power). Now rarely got this problem. Not sure why, but I'll use Petronas from now on.

You guys have any recommendation to help get rid of this stain?

I bought mine at Parkson. Price is RM 57.00 but I have parkson voucher.

The item is 2 in 1 spray Cleaner and Conditioner.
Every products have nice smells to them. I used their car shampoo, wax and few items from Meguiars. No complain. Highly recommended.
Even their wax smells like perfume. thumbup.gif

Now they have new packaging below.

this year car 2012..

ohh..so you have heard before that some other ppl also facing this problem as well? Any idea what the Toyota SC did to fix that?

I think only G spec will face this problem due to the dashboard integrated radio is having the panel in black color shining plastic material, suspecting that piece of thing is producing the noise when vibrating. Because other specs like J or E they have the same piece of panel as well but their material looks different and won't produce that kind of noise I guess.

With my previous Vios (M) i also faced with the same 1st gear issue for the first 2-3 months but after a few service round it seems to be ok already no more issue with the 1st gear and reverse gear...

as for the sound in the dashboard.. maybe can check at the glove compartment.. some people said this is the place where most of the sound is generated ( the glove compartment body hitting the dashboard body).... but my brother vios actually have a sound coming out from the dashboard (on top of the meter area) and toyota open up the thing and put something to where the sound originated....

hi kuman, the sound coming out from the dashboard (on top of the meter area) that happened to you brother's Vios, so eventually did Toyota SC manage to fix that problem after put something to where the sound originated?

If it involves cutting of wires, I think the warranty will be voided.

I too had issues of dashboard sound, especially at the centre area. Whenever I press down in front of the meters, the sound disappears. Taken to SC a few times, they could not rectify the problem. Will be gone a few weeks, and after that, the sound is back.

Got fed up one day, decided to DIY. It is easy. The panels are easy to take out, they are attached with just push fit clips! Pull the bottom one first, the middle one behind the gearshift, then the 2 side panels and lastly the meter surround. Took me sometime to find out where the sound came from. Use a stick on felt pad to isolate the offending panel from the metal underneath and presto, no sound, after 1 year. There is actually a video on youtibe showing how to take out the panels.

Putting back was easy, just push in.

Hey guys. My vios has just went through the 20k service. Told SC bout the squealing noise when I brake, they told me serviced my brakes and when I test drive with a person in the car, everything seems ok.

A week later problem came back... Any idea what it is?

Plus my dashboard noise also comes on and off... Just recorded it on my phone and will show SC when I go back. Right now more concerned about squealing noise from brakes, scared later accident....

Any idea anyone?

I had squealing sound everytime i brake about 2 months ago.
Changed the brake pads for less than 3 months that time.

Checked the manual, and found out that sound is actually by design to alert the driver for brake pad replacement. (Which reminded me that i changed a cheaper brake pads previously)

Went ahead and replaced them by stating i want those Made in Jpn and Asbestos Free...no problems until today. icon_rolleyes.gif

Funny, went to sc about my squeaking brake noise, told me they changed both my brake cylinder for the front, noise still came back. I have no idea what it is now.

Dashboard noise, unresolved. 4th trip down tomorrow. Will update again.

Asked about my brake pads... They told me its fine. :/

It's made of ABS. Why not try to wrap the whole panel with carbon fiber sticker? If spray also easily scratch and peel the paint off.

Had that squealing brake issue when I was using OEM pads. My mech skimmed the leading edge of the pads a bit and the squeal was gone... until the pad wears down again and the squeal came back. Skimmed it a bit and the squeal gone and so on and on and on.

Changed to another brand of pads... no squeal! But these new pads, very dusty. Forgot what brand and stopping power is better than OEM.

Added on September 24, 2012, 8:41 amIt is the bottom one just behind the gearshift. Just put you fingers under and pull. You need to get that out before you can pull out both the sides one. No need to use too much force.

Better yet, surf the youtube for how to dismantle vios or yaris dashboard.

when you mention OEM, meaning its original toyota brakes that came wtih the car itself?

i had my brake cylinder replaced, both front ones. still the noise came back after a day.

am thinking to send my car in again but just didn't have the time to do that.....sigh.

if its nothing serious then i wouldn't bother for now.

as for the dashboard noise, i tried googling the video for removing the dashboard on google/youtube. no luck. someone care enough to post the video here?

just opened the dashboard, taped black stellotape around the wire on the far left... sound minimised. put some sponge under the bar where the wire is, but still got abit noise..

mmm, then when i started driving my car, the seat belt chime went haywire for a bit. wonder if its because of the taping of the wire?

what are those wires under the dashboard for? theres also a button to the left near the odometer where the mileage is...

After 10000km on the road, going for my 3rd car service this coming Friday. I am thinking of to use full synthetic engine oil and heard it can last for 10000km mileage. In terms of saving time and money, I think it is worth.

Any advise from brother here...?

Unless there is something really wrong with the car, i won't go back to SC after the warranty.

They charge at premium as they try to bind consumers with the warranty.

Even though you do not have any warranty now, charges are the same.

Its really up to you.
Pay at premium at SC and peace of mind.
Or learn to know which part of the car needs minor/major maintenance and bring them to your regular mechanic.
(If you do have one)

Do not think that dropping your car to a regular Ah Beng workshop will ensure everything is fine with the car. There is a reason why the service record list every major/minor service itemised.

Mechanics won't be writing a diary for you, haha.

I'm slowly learning how to maintain a car properly and i just don't like paying at premium when i know whats best for my car at regular maintenance.

Actually i stay at labuan island,sabah..and the shop is wilayah car audio...one of the famous car accesories shop here..hehe
The price stated there is 138 but after a little bit bargain it cost me about 110...include labour charge..
But i think u can get the bulb at any accesories shop near you and with more lower price..maybe 80-90 ringgit... thumbup.gif

Vios should use 0W30 or 5w30, you will feel laggy if anything heavy than that.

How often do you guys change the drain plug gasket?

you should change the gasket everytime when u remove the drain nut, the gasket already deform.
try to get the copper gasket if u manage to get one which is suit the size.

last week when to genting.... push abit.... looking at the water temp info from scangauge average reading during hill climb 90c~96c with aircond temp to the coldest (to make the fan run at the max speed) till our themostat open at 96c.

actually, when rpm are higher like go up genting, should off the air con to de-stress the compressor.
90-96c during up genting is pretty normal, low speed high rpm, sure higher temp, but still manageable.

Hi, all sifu....

For vios 2009 J manual, the pre-gap for spark plug is 0.8mm or 1.1mm?

Car's manual state 0.8mm for 1NZ-FE engine. Which is for 1.5 engine on Vios 2009 J manual.

Another source i get from website saying 1.1mm is for smoother ignition.

All right guys, here is what i manage to get from the supplier... he is willing to loan one unit to me for testing purpose. Who wanna be the lab rat for this ? I am from KL, if interested then i ask him to make order for one unit for testing. Tentative should be around 1week to 2week.

going to service my vios for the 5K service (actually meter now at 4890km) tomorrow..
if according to date i got until Oct 23, 2012 for service but somehow i think that using Mineral Engine oil during my first service makes the car feel heavy at the end of the 5K engine oil age...

so this time around going for Semi-syn and see if i can get at least until 11K km before i went back for another service...

btw i'm a "jimat" version of Vios .. biggrin.gif

any thought ?

Anyone facing power window problem ?
Where hard to wind up at certain time.
According the The Star paper today, mentioned that Toyota recalling car manufactured in year 2006 onwards for the defects.

Did anyone been rectify these issue at service centre ?
What happen if those car owners stop their routine at service centre ? Are these group still entitled to claim from service centre even stop servicing at service centre ??

Constructive comments are appreciated.

Thank you

For safety reason, the recall should apply to all affected model even though you service outside.
According to them, they will call the owner to make an appointment. It might affect certain batch although manufactured on the same year.

Hi kuman, suggest that try the semi sync to feel the difference. "Car heavy" meaning the pickup from stand still is slow?

Been using semi sync all the way after 1K coz the price difference is not that much. Use the e-voucher to cover the cost. biggrin.gif

I own a 2006 vios, and I faced similar problems..

1. Morning-time 'timing belt' cold start noise
- not sure if it's the same or not, but for me, I faced screeching noise when I start the engine.
- of course, vios doesn't have engine timing belt but we use timing chain.
- because the screeching sound is normal for other cars, and it's usually associated with timing belts.
- sent to toyota service centre and they confirmed it's the belting sound, came from my aircond belting.
- re-adjusted aircond belting and fixed the noise for free, since they checked that the condition was still okay.
- after few months, the screeching noise came back again and i changed the aircond belting to a new one.
- no more screeching sound.

2. Brake noise
- Mine had to face the sound as if brake pad got stuck.
- It sounded like more severe when I try to take a corner or just swerve left-right a bit (which convinced me it's the brake).
- Serviced brake few times but the noise still exists, even more 'harder' sound in morning time or when it's heavy rain,
especially yesterday.
- This morning my wife sent the car to toyota service, and the guy mentioned about power steering belting.
- Googled it up and it looks to be similar issue faced by other vios owners.
- Re-adjusted the belting and today will be the 'trial run' to see if that solves the problem.
- The SA adviced that usually brake-related issues happen when we actually use it, thus he asked whether any noise exist when we actually pressed the brake pedal (which was not the case actually).

3. Dashboard rattling noise happens to vios '07 i think.. mine is okay.

*just sharing in laymen terms due to my inexperience/less passion on cars, just want to drive it and have a peace of mind.

there are two belts that needs to be maintained.
One is Alternator belt
One is Air Cond belt

one at the top pulley, one below

have your mechanic check which one is causing the noise, have them changed and it will be quiet like previously.
thumbup.gif

P.S: Last year my mechanic tighten+replaced the wrong belt for me,
sound keep on annoying me during start up and raining..in the end i check myself and identified its the belt for below pulley doh.gif

just checked with them, they said they don't sell and install that new radio separately as accessories, they only provide it pre-installed upon placing order for the new vehicle.  shakehead.gif

not only this latest 2-DIN radio, even the AVX and AVN DVD players also, they said they don't sell it as accessories, they only will install it for those who ordered during the new vehicle purchase.

I ordered new, according to the brochure it should be the new player. I write an official complaint letter to toyota but seems no action taken yet... shakehead.gif

don't know how true... anyway, i changed from mineral to semi then now always fully synthetic...

The price seem normal but really broke if go through such service. If for me, I will use semi-synthetic oil which you cant barely feel the different and save RM100+ on here. While save RM60 for spark plug, as I dont think u ever need to change it. air cooling compression RM1600 seem very expensive for me, but I not sure how much is outside, is it necessary to have this service?
The rest seem ok wink.gif

basically the car price shouldnt be too expensive for outside workshop, i did a survey for the car parts price last week. Surprisingly when the mechanic tell me the particular car parts price is quite a huge different compare to the conman workshop .

conman workshop

front brake ori ; RM 260

Fan belt : RM 120

other workshop

front brake ori ; RM 190

Fan belt : RM 90

all ori

then I was told by a mechanic not necessary to change the whole air con, coz my air con is still function not the parts that cause the whole cooling pipeline so I have to service my air con that cost me RM 450 instead conman charge me 1600...

the blinkling will get faster after around 20-30km after it starts blinking... usually after its starts blinking,i ll pump in another 50km...

Last year first time got my car, don't know what the blinking means since never pump before, just drive only... Then the car auto shutdown in the middle of the road doh.gif
lucky it was a housing there was a petrol kiosk 300m away... Bought a tong and walked back to refill, when the car can move, i drove to the kiosk to pump full tank, scary but lucky sweat.gif

"heavier" than semi... since semi is 5w-30, the oil is lighter, car feels "lighter" when accelerate...
anyway, i'm using full cos it can last till 10000km... but can feel the car is more reluctant to accelerate after 7000km... so i just make it a point to go service around 9000km sweat.gif

it will be good if toyota has a fully synthetic 5w-30 formulation... 5w-40 too thick IMHO...

during sept i go to test drive found out no discount, so i didnt buy. but nw i needed a car, and the salesman call me up, after test drive other brand car, decide to go with vios in the end due to low fc and maintenace.

so no much discount for me, but i think east malaysia all the same, hard to get great deal like free gift o tinted or more cash rebate.

i driving a J spec manual, now equiped with dual airbag and alloyrims, so no need to change. but i found out my manual clutch is hard to control, but after 1 week is getting better.

juz one thing i don like bout vios, is noisy escpecially reverse, i can heard the tyre sound really loud, the salesman told is normal for manual. so don go with manual, and hard to control the clutch with manual.

my friend who own second gen vios NCP92 sit at my ccar, he told me the NCP93(3rd gen) one the interior feel much smaller, donno is juz him but i feel the same too.

but if u when 2 test drive, i think they only have trd model NCP92.

juz one thing i don like bout vios, is noisy escpecially reverse, i can heard the tyre sound really loud, the salesman told is normal for manual. so don go with manual, and hard to control the clutch with manual.

my friend who own second gen vios NCP92 sit at my ccar, he told me the NCP93(3rd gen) one the interior feel much smaller, donno is juz him but i feel the same too.

but if u when 2 test drive, i think they only have trd model NCP92.

I was choosing between the Grand Livina and Vios. Decided to go for the Vios after test drive, finding the interior of the Vios looks and feels better.

Went to the Toyota TTDI Showroom, operated by Crestmax Auto Sdn Bhd and paid a booking fee of RM500 yesterday evening. Have been asking around for a G Limited in Medium Silver (1F8) and only this dealer has stock.

Negotiated the promotion for RM7000 discount, RM600 Tint Voucher and a Smart Tag. Confirmed the delivery to be by the 20th December 2012. Fill in all the paperworks and now impatiently waiting!

I noticed that the RCO - Retail Customer Order that was given to me is a photocopied one. He filled in the original, photo-copied it then only write down the discount and free gifts on the piece of photo-copied one. Both of us, the SA and me then signed on the photo-copied one. I realised all of this when I am home, as I was rushing to finish the paperwork. Is this a normal practice by SA?

Heard from some reliable source that there is only RM1500 discount in 2013. So I guess RM7000 would justify the value purchasing this year, moreover, I don't think I will ever sell the car.

u think is this neccessary to install this to reduce the noise and heat?

others say the heat will focus at the carpet make the bonet paint easily fade out, which is true?

I bought G spec so no worries on that part.
What spec did u bought?
If E, can upgrade to leather seat both front and back.
If J, cannot change the back part as the seat cannot fold 60:40.

Perhaps can look in the automotive garage to find seller selling ori G or TRD leather combi seat cover.

Better to have it install. Buy ori or OEM.
It's not made of carpet material and will not fade the paint of ur bonet. Dun know who gives this idea. doh.gif
I think those ppl who say those might have bought the cheap stuff.

yeah... the donut is only acceptable to a few laugh.gif

if whacking corners is your thing, bigger cars can whack better... B segments are never made wide anyway... i've never driven an inspira but handling wise stock to stock, definitely will beat dugong any time due to its size and weight...

you need to splurge in some amount of money into bars and stuff to the dugong to "fix" its handling...

im a vios MT driver, juz gt my vios 2 weeks. Well i never driven a Inspira be4, so my feedback for my vios is

For MT, reverse sound is really loud and can heard tyre sound, clutch very hard to control at 1st, but after 2weeks, the clutch is better to control.
for AT and MT, i think there is no much different as the engine is same, 80km rpm reaches 2.2k, same like auto, no different, juz u feel when changing gear is no as smooth as other 5 o 6 speed gearbox auto.

for FC for vios manual, full pump rm77, now blinking at 430km. 100% city drive, i frm kuching so not many highway, normal is 80 ~100km, 140km once to test the sound only.

i think inspira win in many expect in term of look and handling, but is a proton, no class like import car, ur choice, test both to decide.
jus that there will be no manual vios to test, normally only full spec like TRD or G

Highway wise still too light, but overall Kelisa is not bad, its a waste Perodua replaced it with Viva...

that i haven't drove before, RS250 is sweet tongue.gif

agreed that bars can only do limited changes... cornering still feels... not so right, i'll be changing 195/55R15 soon, lets see tongue.gif

i still prefer stock suspension because its comfortable... i've sat on my cousin's heavily modded Jazz... a lot faster rebound, most corners he didn't need to brake but it was uncomfortable... so i postponed the idea of changing my shocks until i can find one that's near stock comfort...
harder shocks don't go well in lights cars i supposed laugh.gif

Few months ago I checked was around RM220 for 185/60/15, which is the size of Vios G' 2009. But price varies depending on location and shop. Still looking for shop nearby Damansara.

Sad, was told by other SA that there are no more stocks this year. But the SA I book the car with keeps on postponing.

I confirmed with him 2 or 3 times about delivering the car before Christmas and he say don't worry. Now he say can deliver next week. Anyone knows how true is that? He say Toyota will allocate on 27th and say can deliver next week. I am confused. Allocation does not means deliver, isn't it?

195/60R15 too big already...

my City changed from 185/55R15 to 195/55R15 also will feel slightly more sluggish and FC a few % more but more comfortable smile.gif

upsizing from 14", not much choices cos you need to stick within the 3% size else you'll be getting significantly different speedo readings

try playing around with this:

in my experience..

viva 1.0 auto is more fun to drive than kelisa 1.0 auto (never tried kelisa manual version, only tried manual 850 viva - new car so feel ok lah..)
viva more stable can cruise at 140KM/h++ still stable no shaking...

unfortunate if compare the design i am more to kelisa..more cute..

viva help tall people who need a small car with save fuel to drive to work...

that is why , hard to find kelisa speeding on highway if compare to viva..

so i assume the viva is quite stable and the viva driver mostly hard an iron balls... sweat.gif

and about the vios i usually seen white vios's speeing in highway...i now y'all is a wise driver will save ur money for better purpose... laugh.gif

Yes, it is nice.

Saw my car today. Too bad we could not have it registered as the JPJ is not open today. Hopefully I can collect my car on Monday. Noticed that there are some black marks on the car even though it gone through car wash, hopefully my SA will remember to have it polished. Guessed that I will have to be more hardworking to maintain it.

Hi, just want to ask around. How many new Vios model owner service their air conditioner in Toyota SC?

I was informed by the sales advisor that a typical air conditioner servicing runs around RM300 for a basic one; just gas refill and change of air conditioner filter.

I then had a chat with a friend working in accessories shop that does air conditioning as well and was told that for the new Vios, you don't need to service the air conditioner that much. You only send it in for service when the air conditioner is not cold. Reason being that to service the new Vios' air conditioner, you need to take out the dashboard or something.

Anyone had such experience? Mind sharing your typical air conditioning service bill?

Basic service is about RM200++. That is the cheapest one according to the sales advisor depending on your mileage.

Air conditioning service, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, etc are all optional service. For a basic air conditioning service, it will cost you an additional RM300.

So if you do a basic service + basic air conditioning service, it will cost up to RM500.

Hi all, 08 Vios S spec reported in biggrin.gif
Any sifu(s) can enlighten me? Previous time, been using Chemlube full syn 10w/30 all the way. This few services change to Torco SR1. Used 5w/30 for the 1st time and problem came on 2nd time, TER-used 5w/40 doh.gif . Just wonder can use back 5w/30 cos few of my friends mentioned "old" car better use 5w/40 instead of 5w/30 due to better protection (more thick). But i miss the 5w/30 pedal feel. light light brows.gif Please advise.

Collected my car finally. Found out the driving the car actually feels more "solid" compared to the previous generation.

Am going to tint and coat the car. Any recommendation where to go?

Bro, mind if I asked...ur meaning of "solid" is in terms of less noise/harshness of the car OR the stability of the car when cornering? Coz I certainly feel there's just too much body roll in this new gen vios sad.gif

if you put bars also, you won't be able to corner at that speed, maybe need to change to another set of harder suspension

i have front and rear upper strut, front and rear lower arm bars and 16mm ARB, the car is a lot more solid... long sweeping corners at 100km/h is quite stable, for me it's just nice for highway cruising as well... spend on the rear ARB... it's well worth the money... other bars are just to improve chassis rigidness
more read up here if you are interested in improving handling

thought of changing suspension but after i sat on my cousin's Jazz, i say forget it cos too bumpy doh.gif
but that Jazz making 90 degree corners at 60km/h also no problem drool.gif

Hi guys,

Just collected my Vios a few days ago and noticed that the auto lock was removed as mentioned. Just wondering if anybody knows of any aftermarket device which could be installed to enable the auto lock which does not involve any modifications to the current wiring system?

Thanks in advance

In terms of the built. It does not feel as "light" as the previous generation. Does not know about the handling as I do not drive with high speed. For me, it is alright, at least for now.

Apparently it is a new govt directive that all auto lock features would have to be removed for safety reasons during accident.

Does it means JPJ is afraid that the auto lock feature will prevent the passenger or someone from outside opening the door after an accident? What difference would it make if we manually lock the door from the inside?

Sorry if this has been asked before. It is nearly time for my first service, can anyone recommend which service centre to go around Bandar Sunway or Petaling Jaya?

Secondly, can I bring my own parts for the service (eg. Engine Oil, Filter etc.)?

The best service centre in PJ is the one opposite 3 2 Square, nearby Section 19. This centre always crowded, please book days in advance or weeks in advance if you planning to send on weekend.

Another service centre is at Jalan Templer, just beside Honda. I went there for my first service, took them two and half hours to complete my car. shakehead.gif

For the parts, I not sure. Other sifu can enlighten us?

Thanks. Checked online and found out that this particular SC in Section 19 PJ is quite popular getting complaints. Nevertheless, I have booked for a service there since it is just the most basic service. Will see how it goes. Just to share, I booked the service online through Tribe Toyota and seems we can only book for weekdays. I later call the service centre up and rescheduled the service to a Saturday. Not sure why we could not book Saturday online.

What I noticed is most of the Toyota service centre will get frequent complaint due to their large volume of cars. I browsed over few SC and most of them will have negative review but I think is down to yourself to inspect and try the SC first. Apart from the waiting hours, the Jalan Templer SC is not bad, the Service Ambassador is friendly and easy to talk with.

Section19 is the most crowded SC in PJ, not a surprise if some people complaint about them.

Think twice before you go for this design. I installed this design on the first day i collected my new car 2 years ago.
Since then whenever i go to steep basement car park is a nightmare.
There was once i hit it so hard till the bumper clipper also open. Luckily no major damage.
There are many places i choose not to go just because my car not able to enter the car park.... haih~~
Sigh~

Now i'm looking for other skirting design which is slightly higher and shorter on the front so that i would not face similar issue again!

So far going thru bump not an issue only steep ramp.

Btw, anyone out there can recommend me some nice front skirting design which will not face this problem?
Coz i really wanted to change~

TRD Sportivo bodykit seems nice, I don't like its standout spoiler. I'm thinking to get the TRD bodykit and change the spoiler to G Limited, should looks okay.

I just calculated mine yesterday, about RM0.15sen/km (BHP),
M7 Eco fully synthetic. Been driving more aggressively while FC remain the same......
2009 G spec. Stock condition.
How old is your Vios? If new need to break in first only will get reasonable FC.
maybe your driving style?

Mine is about 17 sen/km now. Overall mileage is only about 700km. Will have my 1st service by end of this month.

Should I go for Semi-Syn or Full? Only driving in the city and going to the KLIA once every month.

A custom sunshade that fits your entire window! No room for the sun to come in. Gives that extra privacy without that heavy tinting. And an extra security layer too in case the windows get broken in.

PM us now to get one set for your Vios now!

Hi all, I am having some issue with my 6mth old vios (5,000km), there's crankling sound coming from the engine sometimes when accelerating. Besides that, there's also rattling sound from the dashboard (near the drawer and behind the meter) also noises from ard the front passenger side door.

When idling, the car seems to be vibrating a little bit when the RPM is near to 0.5.

Anyone got any suggestions to the problem?

Any recommendation which service centre in klang valley is the best for repair the defects?

Thanks!

Hi all vios owner,

Want to check with you guys how's ur vios fuel consumption?

I have a very bad fuel consumption where average RM0.17/km.

Where RM60 can go around 360km only.

What is the problem? Spark plug? need to reset ECU?

Please help...

My is also about the same, for full tank RM70, going about 350-400km max.

You can call the service advisor and perhaps to arrange for another check up.
From ur response, it sounded like engine knocking. One of my friend ever encounter this issue and was resolved after he lodge a complain to them.
As for the dahsboard, mine also have the rattling sound but suddenly it's already gone.
A member here ever complain and they manage to solve the issue.

I believe that vios can achieve at least RM0.15/km and below easily..

But RM0.17/km is a bit too high..

Mine is about 17 sen/km now. Overall mileage is only about 700km. Will have my 1st service by end of this month.

Should I go for Semi-Syn or Full? Only driving in the city and going to the KLIA once every month.
*
vios normally can get .15sen/km easily.
my normal consumption is rm50 around 350KM ( mix drive speed/relax) or 380-400km ( relax )
and the car has done 200,000Km on it. salute to the 1nzfe engine.

for your new cars its normal to have a bit higher FC , due to the engine part getting run-in should be improving by 20,000km.
btw if you have the money go for fully like MObil 1 etc. if not normal Toyota oil semi sync would do. provided change every 7000km would do.my car done 200,000km so far no problem and FC is still the same . NCP42 though.

Thanks for the information. I guess I can only stick with Toyota until end of the warranty period. Doesn't want to give them excuses in voiding my warranty.

mine's around 38000km in 1.5 years... the FC increased slightly after i started using fully synthetic at 10000km...

another things is i added some bars by stage... so i'm not really sure if the bars are also contributing to the increased FC

M7 Eco fully synthetic. Been driving more aggressively while FC remain the same......
2009 G spec. Stock condition.
How old is your Vios? If new need to break in first only will get reasonable FC.
maybe your driving style?

for the rattling noise coming from the drawer one, it could be due to the drawer lid, when moving over uneven road, there is a gap where the drawer lid will hit the drawer and produces rattling noise, try some simple test to identify it by putting heavy stuff like book in the drawer and let the book lean towards the drawer lid, then close the lid and drive through uneven road, if the rattling noise disappears, then meaning the drawer lid is the problem. Can fix it by attaching some cushion or sponge pieces to the edge of the drawer lid to close the gap. Once the gap is sealed, then the drawer lid won't hit the drawer anymore when the car going through uneven road surface. can ask Service Center to do it if under warranty, i think this is common issues among all Vios.
