my vios is going for the 20k service soon.i'm using semi-syn. ODO reading at 19k++ now. don't experience any FC increase (or it is negligible and unnoticeable).

feel a little vibrations from the engine and affecting the smoothiness tho..

maybe its my luck.....

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?

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. :/

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...

dunno if its just pure bad luck...

my vios only 11.8 months old..(not yet 1 year) and have so many problems d.

now timing belt morning cold start got noise... and my brake noise since 3 months old until now not solved.

also not forgetting my dashboard rattling nnoise...until now!!!!! wtf.

thinking to sell it and get a conti
