Hopefully your car's problem can be solved..May update us about your car after fixed

Hey guys. I just got my TRD yesterday. So far no problem detected yet. Overall it's quite a nice driving experience. Btw, I heard alot of people saying that it's not good to keep on stepping on the gas and go full throttle with a new car before dunno how many mileage. Is it true?

from my personal experience, i whack the car till 140km/h even before the 1k service. So far no issue with the ENGINE.

Do take note on the front driver side knocking sound upon crossing hump. Its a common issue for Vios.

The other thing is the loose "freeplay" mechanism used on our brake pedal... the bounce knocking sound is annoying.

The freeplay mechanism is it apply to all toyota car? because i try on my dad toyota wish (2010) also got the same freeplay brake pedal

according to Toyota, its applied to all Toyota cars, including Camry and Altis... i'm speechless...

nothing to do with body chasis.

if you don't believe me , ask them to dismantle all doors panel cover and go for a drive... then you will believe it comes from the door panel cover itself

just to be assured on this, what was noise you heard from your car upon this door panel DIY?

Mine sounds like metal rattling sound.

same problem as yours , "tik tik tik" .. its like metal knocking against plastic or mental knocking against metal thus produce that kind of sound. Believe me SC cant solve this problem for you. I never chose to leave my car just-like-that.

SA told me got one customer so persistence... in and out his car for 1 year all pictures were taken and noise recorded.. guess what? prob still there and unable to claim a new dashboard.. that is for HILUX

You can either do autofoam(i don't now it will solve your problem or not although money spent), or you follow my steps DIY or just open your radio and ignore that kind of sound - problem solved!

where does your noise come from?

the door panel or pillars?

How to solve your problem of front driver side knocking sound??

Please advise.

Thx

how long is the waiting now if i order now??

quite some number of owners here doesn't have the solution from Toyota except AromaChong which she managed to claim fullset of lower arm.

I did asked SC this morning, they said its a common issue for Vios which at the moment they don't have any solution.

i think they have stock now, perhaps 1.5 months.

I have a highly recommended SA here; which based in Serdang Raya. Its under UMW Motor hence you rest assured that they have the stocks priority.

does all vios' engine got the sound 'tktktktktktktkt' during idle? but not too loud la. mine the 2nd edition.

belting wear out already?

Mine occurs after changing the V-belt (not in SC), mechanic been tightening it every time I service my car. Now it's gone but will occur once in awhile like when going uphill

Claim fullset of lower arm and stabilizer bar and all bushes. Fix the problem and have a peaceful life.

The door panel is the culprit. remove the whole door panel and you wont find any sound. Give it a shot

i dont dare to remove the whole door panels on my own...

however, lets see how they would solve the case next week when i'm leaving my car there for a week.

it wont break anything, just remove the clips and you will know. or ask ur mechanic dismantle all doors panel then u will find out the culprit. i used 12 pieces of sponge and it works perfectly haha... till now as quiet as baby's breathe !

there are only 3 screws.. unscrew it and u re done to go!
