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.

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.

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?
*
Yes, I serviced mine during the 60k service. It's about RM300 including the labour charge doh.gif

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.)?
*
no you can't bring your own parts. I asked the technician before.
Servicing my Vios outside now since the warranty is over laugh.gif lighter on wallet

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.
*
I think Semi is good enough but if you have the extra budget then why not laugh.gif

Yes, you still need to pay for it and it costs about RM360 if I'm not mistaken.

Guys, have been driving my vios for a year now. Any problems you all encountered so far? Mine's clocking 25k and my car has:
-knocking sound when I shift R to D and then accelerate (not heavy foot, just normal only)
-squeaking sound coming from front passenger seat very often.
-side mirrors retracting speed not align
-aircond sometimes got very bad toxic smell
-front passenger air duct got hizzling sound
-sometimes my gearbox will automatically shift to gear 3 when I was in gear 4 and refuses to switch it back to 4. (I tried to let go my accelerator and press again also useless, have to manually shift it to 3 then to D)
-engine's got some rattling noise and the soundproof is very bad..

And yeah.. So far that's the problems I've encountered with my car. 30% City 70% Highway driving with 420~460km per tank. Should I ask Toyota's SC to check all those for me? Will they charge?
*
For the shifting from 4th to 3rd gear, I am sure that it's the result of electronic controlled transmission one of the feature of Vios and it usually happens when you're going down hill and you step on the brake. Sometimes I just shift to 3 and back to D if I don't need the extra braking power biggrin.gif

Just put on stiff ring on my Vios (2009). First thing I noticed, the car and steering is more solid instead of the "lose" feeling and noticeably quieter on uneven road.

Mine is 2009 G spec, so the new Vios is hollow in the roof as well sweat.gif
I guess one way is to sound proof/insulate the roof.

Ya the SC labor charge is too expensive, guess that's how they increase their profit.
I was charged RM80 for two rear Vios absorbers (outside garage). But then the job was quit tedious.
