Update: Just got back from the SC today. Went for test drive with the foreman and managed to replicate the knocking 'kruk' sound when going over bumps. I also complained about thin roof very noisy during heavy rain. Outcome is - they believe the front lower arm is the culprit for the knocking sound. They will order the front lower arm for the knocking sound and also 'roof silencer' for the noisy roof (I believe this must be some insulation material). Once the parts arrive, they will arrange for appointment, but I would need to leave the car there for 1-2 days to fix these 2 issues..... Hopefully they know what they are doing...  thumbup.gif

I am the one that complained at Facebook Toyota, they have changed the upper engine mounting to year 2003 model and it has finally solved the knocking sound problem. But strangely why only certain batches have this type of problem whereas other batches can accept the current new vios mounting.

I installed at a shop named WWF accesorries(located near jpj tmn permaisuri cheras) on mudah.my ... Price around rm180-200 included installation. Installed it on month of Jan. That time newly stuff in the market so it quite pricey. I think now it will become cheaper. But aftermarket still aftermarket stuff. The light outcome not so good. So i just installed HID on it last week.

oooh... let me google and see.

thanks for the input~ thumbup.gif

Strange that they will order the lower arm for me, but did not mention anything about engine mounting. Maybe my knocking sound is different from yours? Or maybe they have engine mounts in their stock and will replace both lower arm and engine mount for my case, I am not sure. Anyway, hope they get it right the first time as I don't want to go there too many times for the same issue.

Million thanks for the kind sharing here. May i know which toyota sc u went for that? If nearby,i would make my complain there aswell. As many other sc maybe haven't find out the real solution yet. So easy to make a complain within the same sc. And it took u how long to fixed this?
Thanks smile.gif

Yup,actually our 3rd gen rear fog lights usage is for during rainy day. Mostly heavily rain or foggy weather at higher place liked genting / cameron. It's functioning to alert the vehicle from behind.

---------------------------------------

Yup,the front set fog lights i got from there. The hid which cost me rm80(1set with 1year warranty-cash&carry), purchased at other place. U can search for this seller name Winson Lim (search "Love Car Led" @ FB for more details).

Yup, the rear fog lights can be very irritating at night in normal driving conditions. I experienced it the other night when I was following this new Vios at my taman. I believe it's a lady driver, as I have seen this particular car a few times before. The red lights were really bright that I got fed up and switched on my front fog lights. She didn't seem to get the message - or maybe she couldn't be bothered by my puny stock Vios front fog lights. mad.gif

Actually i forgot to ask clearly. The actual knocking sound was from upper engine mounting or top/upper absorber mounting? As i knew,dugong experienced knocking sound which from top/upper absorber mounting there. Hmmm............

They actually changed the upper engine mounting to the Vios year 2003 parts. Absorbers are okay but don't know why certain batches only have problems like that.
