QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ May 14 2014, 11:39 PM) I've checked the engine mounting... The RH one.... It's changed. Today on the way back home.... Didn't heard any... Normally few bump will hear... But not today. Guess it's solved. Glad to hear your problem is solved. Do update us if u heard it on tomorrow or not. The kruk sound u can heard from inside cabin.. it's like something loosen or something loosen part dropped right? |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ May 21 2014, 12:01 PM) welcome to the pathetic car owner club. only few claimed... i've lodged complaint... they will install it... at the moment no stock... hence need to wait till end of month. guess your "knocking" issue solved permanently after successfully claimed driver's side engine mounting? |

After the driver's side mounting had been changed, i guess there is still some unwanted knocking noise occured. But the knocking sound upon speedbump had been reduced up to 80% due to the engine mounting changed for the driver's side.

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Jun 1 2014, 12:29 PM) 2 major common issue with this new Vios is the front driver side knocking noise and the pathetic roof insulation. Both is claimable as they have received internal memo on this issue. Yeap, agreed that all car brands would have their own drawback but the given build quality is really disappointing. after changed driver's side mounting to previous version, i guess the knocking sound is still there tho the sound is reduced down to 80%? ur disappear completely? |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Jun 2 2014, 01:52 PM) nope. but i'll highlight this upon claiming my roof insulation. apart from this, i'll get them to work on the driver side seatbelt rattling noise as well. this car really giving me a headache. the rattling noise cant be solved. mine till now come back again after parking under hot sun. well.. u need to push them to investigate what is the matter of the real cause. for me i guess its the lower arm? |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Jun 10 2014, 09:11 AM) fuel efficiency on my Vios J is around 11.6KM/L. as for maintenance cost, comments from my friends around is that Honda does cost more. But i couldn't verify this much. the cabin intrusion is noticeable even at 60kmh. go test drive City first. After all, their build quality is really much better than Vios. 11.6km/l for 80% highway or 100% city road? the knocking noise for the driver side still can be heard damn irritating do u occur rattling noise coming out from dashboard and steering wheel? or maybe from the cup holder side? |

QUOTE(hairybelly @ Jun 12 2014, 10:39 PM) @drakzero The knocking sound over hump will get worse after some time if it's not resolved, trust me. Just pray that Toyota has rectified the problem in their new batch. Otherwise, you will have to make appointment with SC to get it fixed later. even after new engine mounting is replaced, knocking issue is still occur. |

for me, its consider loud. do test drive with audio system off and you will feel the knocking sound is actually quite loud.
i don't know why Toyota cannot come out with a solution apart from changing engine mounting for driver side.

QUOTE(hairybelly @ Jun 13 2014, 08:39 AM) Mine is loud even at slow speeds when going over hump or uneven road surface - with the music on as well. SC tested it and said they need to change the front lower arm, although majority of the other complainants were told it's the engine mounting problem. Maybe my knocking sound is different from the others. Will do the replacement together with roof silencer when the parts arrive. it's louder when ur speed is low. do update us if ur knocking sound is successfully solved upon changing new lower arm |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Jun 13 2014, 08:50 AM) that's equivalent to 13km/L... still better than most Vios here. so far no breakdown la, its new car le. Toyota generally has cheaper maintenance cost. Do you know that Kia, Perodua and Ford have this 3 years maintenance free promo? That means no single penny is needed to service your car in the first 3 years. to be honest, this Vios cabin NVH is really bad. thats why i've spent thousands on the soundproof to have a better drive. ya. totally correct.. crap car. maybe next time when u visit SC, you can request to change for a new lower arm and do update us |

QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ Jun 17 2014, 02:21 PM) Good news for those have yet to claim the roof insulation~~ Toyota WingHin of Balakong had received the roof insulation stocks... And they are ready to help install for those who made complaint earlier on. I've fixed my appointment next Friday morning.  They said it needs almost half day for the installation.  pls take the picture and im going to claim also.. and not to forget, the "stupid" knocking noise =[ |
