Glad to know its solved

Its Monday, 2pm appointment.

waiting eagerly and impatience haha...

i also notice our battery is smaller than 2nd gen vios... the capacity is the same or smaller?

Can you provide the battery rating for the new vios?
2nd generation is NS60 compatible battery.

Getting the new vios done with brake autolock now, perhaps the only one company which havethe autolock function, tried many others, all cnt work on new vios

Need advice.. My current millege bout 600km and first service was schedule on this coming Saturday.. I may need to go outstation this few days time and this will cause my millege exceed 1k by this Saturday... Will it void warranty?any link can we refer regarding this matter?

What i know is my case is opposite from you.

I call toyota hotline.. they say either 1000km or 1 month first service.

my case 600km only almost 1 month. they say not more than 2 month wont void warranty. so i plan to service after 1 and half month haha..

...
Earlier I just try to push up to 1k before the service for the first service. But this week thg is kind of emergency tat suddenly occur....

Bro,u selling the brake autolock relay for latest new vios? Any link to refer for more details?? Ori relay from toyota? Interested..

Yes just done installing , pnp and tap one wire tats all. Like us om fb will upload a pic asap

Anyone has done with the claim on lower arm issue ??

kindly post here for any outcome from SC

any tyre brands recommend for profile 195/60 R15 ?

this is the annoying part... hard to permanently solve it...

overall its dashboard sound in precise.. lol .

i think if lower arm / suspension if adjusted properly wont have this kind of sound or will lessen the noise.

will wait to update roxy for the today's update and hopefully it's a good news
