bro, normally i will shift to P, hand brake and push button off, so far no issue at all...

i guess u off the engine with N is it ? after that only shift to P

If I'm not mistaken, you can't pull out the key if you switched off the engine and the gear is put at N.

I thk I put on p, thn hand brake, thn push off engine... is it because if too fast....hmmm, will note on my step after this and observe...

Just want to ask, for vios what is the recommended service interval? for each type of engine oil interval (mineral, semi and fully)?

preferably for the new vios...wanna roughly see the service budget per year...

Good Day Vios owners

Anyone of you guys recently bought the new 2014 Vios? Can share where can i get the best offer? Currently i'm just interested with the lower spec, not a speeder just need a reliable transport. My current Toyota age more than 20 years old, it's about time

Interested with:
Vios 1.5J(A) : RM77,300
Vios 1.5E : RM82,900

i'm having the Dugong... i personally allocate RM150/month for maintenance, insurance and tyres separate, RM150/month is enough, some times can cover road tax, battery change, etc also

oh yeah... was on fully syntetic until 55000km, then change to semi cos i personally think fully synthetic to thick... and at 7000km, car feels like crap so during my usage of fully synthetic oil, i service every 8000-9000km instead of 10000km, cannot tahan the sluggishness

Found this on Mudah

For my case, its less than 10 secs...

Mine was a wooden block....

What GaGa post, just try to keep it low profile pls.

There wasnt any lift off... My car turtle upon hit the left divider hard... Very hard. Even my front passenger side wheel dented badly. Majority of the damage is front left side.

Yes, comfort issue and i like this Ford signature Y Front rim more than the previous 5spoke design.

Ride considerately and be safe pls.

my budget estimation also around RM100~RM150 monthly...

for fully and semi-syn the interval is 10,000km? mineral is around 5000km? please correct if I'm wrong...

Plotong GaGa tered, ayam 1 of the owner there. That side lots of mat rempit, borrow you post to alert them shit can happen.

Roxy,

I don't mean to say your car fly. I'm saying, it can possibly caused by evasive maneuver. I have very good experience in accident investigation(been stuck with this job for years), and also fair slice of autocross experience. From what I saw in the pictures posted, that is clearly the entrance of Seremban hiway connected Kesas exit from Endah Parade direction. That place is a well know UNDERSTEER setup due to the idiotic speed breaker, also the road condition was slant FROM the LEFT to the RIGHT. Usually, if you keep your car on the RIGHT lane, you'll have better grip due to the road setting, so you have more lateral tolerance from your left wheel. But your case is, you're doing 100+ at the LEFT lane, which induce extreme understeer at such condition.

I'm not saying it's NOT the WOOD. It could be tyre start giving up(and it's the wood in your case), as an ordinary driver will ease off the gas pedal trying to gain grip(probably stab on the brake at the same time when RELEASE GAS PEDAL - technically call it lift off). When this being applied, majority of the rear weight will be shifted infront, hence the car spun into the LEFT side instead of right. Do remember, now majority of the weight being transferred to the FRONT LEFT, as your car hit the road shoulder, the only physics you can anticipate is the rear left wheel get lifted off, the rest of the story can fill in the blanks already.

Anyway, here's some reading about lift-off oversteer from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer

Case study #1


Case study #2

I am driving TRD 2013 3rd gen Vios , car plate W xxxx E
As I suppose it should be 1st batch of the new Vios TRD.
I am having malfunctioning horn and I sent it for checking twice to the service center and thought it was fine.
And now it's just malfunction again. Anyone having this problem ? Or anyone know what's the problem . Thank you all.

you are right, initially i budgeted RM100/month but its not enough for fully synthetic... some times if there's aircond servicing, sure burst

your explaination is really great. Yeap, i could felt that the front is losing grip when i skidded. And the road does slant from left to right.

You really sounds like an expert in these road accidents. So, can i conclude that those callmen knew about this; hence always hang around the spot to get some business?

There's a good chance that they pour oil on the left lane(way before the corner). It could be the wooden block as you claimed, but I couldn't see it in the picture you've posted. The original intention was to make victim skid, hit their both front/rear left wheel on the road shoulder and total their tyres and rims so these call man/tow truck service can tow their car back. That however, they wasn't expect the car that came so fast(which is you doing 100+) and became a lift-off oversteer and turtle a Focus(more like a MyBi thing).

*Here refer the 3rd party towing service/call man as THEY/THEIR/THEM: They usually setup the trap after 2am, that's their morale to NOT involve more than 2 cars in an accident, so to avoid fuzz came and do their usual scene inspection(and ofcourse if found oil on the floor, fuzz will smile at the tow truck and ask them whether need to make the report straight or change a little bit(that ofcourse will eat into their profit). They usually setup the trap as far as 100 meters away from their targeted area(trust me, oil on rubber can reduce frictional surface for a very long time). They like to hide under fly over/elevated way/under bridge and wait for their prey to fall into their trap, because usually those place got rest area for motorcyclist during bad weather. They don't work alone, usually in pair or trice but not more than that. Reason being, if more than 1 car accident, 2 of them will be able to do their job. The extras usually will act as a dumbass overcharge fella that call for crazy pricing, so the victim will fall for the already tripled of reasonable price' price. But ofcourse the dumbass overcharge fella will still get his cut later after being settled

Now you have the minimal knowledge to reconstruct the conspiracy. What time the event taken place? Think back, what happened when you exited Kesas, what happened? Before enter the tunnel, why did you choose the left lane? Other than the fast car infront of yours, is there something blocking the right lane that makes you feel uncomfortable hence you chosen the left? After the accident, they came within 10 seconds. Which direction from the end of the tunnel? Where about they came from? The direction they came from got what?

Angry? Felt being setup? Not necessarily, next time drive slower & take cautious.

this case is common, some even put nails man... mostly motorbike lane will have nails and puncture tyres...

just went genting 2 weeks back and penang trip last week... the car much smoother now... 99% highway fc is 14sen/km or 15 litre/km

btw watch the video at 1.49 the audi a4 rims are similar to vios rims lolx
