i would suggest you to send it to local accessorries shop. the labour cost around RM20-30 only.
this app:

The car is light in the sense of response, but it howls like a bull upon heavy foot. Its normal since the car have pathetic sound insulation.

Currently your on 3rd tank only; why worry so much. Worst case scenario is get the ECU reset so that the car learn you driving behaviour again.

Btw, I'm also facing issue with this Vios:
1. Knocking sound from behind the steering wheel upon uneven road or speed bump crossing. Its really terrible
2. Annoying"Freeplay" mechanism on the brake pedal --> "tak" sound upon pedal release
3. Latest is some loose part on my rear driver side door panel... Suspect some clips or screw is inside the door panel... Even the window glass is rattling upon uneven road... really speechless.

For case 1 and 2 above, its a common issue for this latest Toyota. For you, do take not on this. Toyota SC had acknowledged this issue... Still pending solution from them...

Hope my feedback helps.

any solution to share?
choi!! another 4hrs!!

perhaps i'll get insulation expert to soundproof my 4 doors one time off to settle it then... if SC couldn't solve it permanently.
*
i did share few pages back ago.

dismantle the all 4 doors and DIY with double side tape and foam, etc.. there is also a thread about the pictures of door pictures and how that fella DIY.. u can do a quick search about that ...

now my car is quiet like a baby breathe

lower arm change warranty both side then the knocking sound over bump at certain speed disappear with all the bush , stabilizer bar

Yes it's ugly... And it's not the culprit.

Went to check with my insulation advisor... They reckon that the noise comes from B pillar!!

Now I'm doomed, no choice but to consult Toyota.

Worst case is to autofoam it.
Yeap, now I knew.

Since your so freaking smart, why don't you share instead of pouring cold water.

Btw, I better not ask of your favor since you have this kind of attitude.

Thanks.

Since you are freaking stubborn to read few pages / previous post of mine then you're not worth for me to help.

I am correcting your post so other forumer will not blindly following your stupid so-called-solution for the freaking rattling noise wink.gif

do kindly take note that I've indicated clearly that its not 100% solving the issue since its a trial-and-error approach. And i also mentioned that i haven't test it out upon posting.

in the end, i do update that it doesn't solve the case. There is no post deletion in this forum hence user can read carefully and find out if it solves the issue.
*
in the end too, if you are not to "lazy" to read all my previous posts, you will now by then have a peaceful life regardless rattling sound issue and knocking upon speedbump.

or maybe you are rich to do autofoam cool.gif

An update on the rattling noise on my car.

Currently at Toyota Balakon. They couldn't solve the problem since the noise comes from car body chassis and not from the plastic door panels or B pillars covers. Hence, escalating it to HQ level. This means they need my car to stay 2-3 days for the troubleshooting and solution.

I'll leave my car here for next week and shall update the outcome thereafter.

Let's pray that they solve the problem.

Hope that this is just a minority since it involved car chassis and not the panels components. Guess I got the lemon car here.
*
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 smile.gif

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!

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.

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 smile.gif

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

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!

Icic. Oh btw, regarding the knocking sound near the steering wheels, I think my car has it too. Like a hard knock when going too fast on rough terrain. /sigh.

Any advice on this? Send it to SC like everyone else?
Icic. Thanks for the heads up.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

its from behind the steering wheel.. which is suspect to origin from the front RH lower arm.
this morning noticed that there are glass rattling noise from passenger side pulak~ doh.gif

really salute on the car QC...
I'm never really happy owning this car, seriously.

Whenever we need to resolve it... need to on weekdays only... 9am-5pm... which is my working hours.... everytime take leave to rectify the issue meh... thats only for troubleshooting... then repair is set for another day... AND its weekdays again...

really feel tired to go through this hassle....

see.. i told u the rattling sound will come back eventually.. the only way to eliminate it permanently is via DIY.

btw.. mine is brake a bit hard till car stops then got "kruk" damn!!!!! RH lower arm? hmm...

sent my car to Toyota Balakong today... one shot for 10k service, engine mounting and roof insulation claim. following is the itemNo for you all as reference:
http://1drv.ms/1iQIybC

Item1 is engine mounting. Item2 is the rood insulation.
after i chao... they called and said that the rood insulation is not here yet... therefore, they will skip that~ doh.gif

It will only reach by end of month... therefore, need to go back again~ doh.gif
*
so, there is no more kruk sound problem upon crossing speed bump anymore? thx

the 11119 parts refers to engine mounting?
