the service person said the sound is the characteristic of the part. Thus the sound can only be minimized but not removed. He even told me HRV have the same part and same sound.

omg....hw to minimize it ??
i tried ask SC to check the lower arm when i went for my 1st service, they said my lower arm got no problem. and they cant find solution for the noise. haiz

change the engine mounting and it will be minimized.

Changing the engine mounting is FOC or I need to pay?
**New Car**

FOC, coz its under warranty.

ok..thx xD

I have all those problems you guys mentioned. Sound when drive over speed bumps, dashboard sounds & famous milo tin sounds when raining. Been thinking of doing something about them but I guess they are still bearable except the milo tin sound......


On another note, achieved new record of FC with 2nd gen Dugong:
Total distance: 499.9km (90% highway) (mostly 110km/h on RON95, 1 passenger)
Fill to full: 27.372L (RM58.85)
FC = 18.26km/L

Basically they told me this so they could set my expectations and to zip my mouth. They also meant all vios cars have same sound, so even if they change the part multiple times, it will be same.

Base on my understanding they basically and indirectly meant that "if all cars have the issue, no car have issue". Hence nothing will be fixed as in removing all sound by 100%.

I understood there's no perfect car here in this world, minor or big issue. Ford have hard suspension complaints, VW have gear complaints, Honda rusts and have free but expensive service tricks , BMW with degraded quality door, etc. Well....,even with minor issues, as long as I'm still happy with my car, then I'm fine . Thus I can now say I'm still a happy man here. But will definitely make me doubt on getting another Toyota.

I still can bear with the problems I faced as initially is looking for Honda City. But City also not a problem free car.. Mis-align dashboard. Some rattling sound near the dashboard, noisy sound when close the boot if compare to previous generation car.. Gearbox oil leaking and so on. All this are mentioned in this Forum.

I'm here to share what's the problem I facing and there could be some one already have the solution. Like previously I drive Myvi, infamous Kruk Kruk sound over the yellow line caused by Caliper pin near the wheel. At the end, there is a solution to fix the problem.

Anyone know the best offer for j spev aluto?

hi guys, any reason why u all didnt choose honda city?
Im still thinking about vios or city..

Gear Oil leaking in H.C. sound major problem for me.

Depend on your personal taste (requirement) in overall. I meant you can start to look through the problem persist in both car. Which one is up to your acceptance level and then decide which car to go.

Just received my car few week ago. How to identify the knocking sound issue? So far , i'm not hearing any knocking sound on my car...

go through speed bump in like 20+kmh... once the car jerk upon crossing.. you will heard a "thuk" noise from behind your steering... thats where the engine mounting is located.

its been a while since we last did Vios, even these days we dun keep the stock for pedal lock for this ride

last week did 2 for the exact same product



will upload more pics of the custom made coil mat at our thread


one of them came straigh after collecting his ride

you can try consider Kia Cerato K3 too. =)

Already tested yesterday. No knocking sound on my car....

we do wish that the problem is rectified... just try to pay attention to if its still there.

I got my car on end of June, the sound is still there.
