Go Toyota SC is the best.

What is your average mileage ? Which how far (km) you can go for full tank.

well not quite much, usually i pump full (ron 97, around Rm 70) when left 1 bar

Thats very low mileage!  biggrin.gif

U should go to Toyota sc as still under warranty.

how long is the warranty, is it 3 years?


well my idea is when it is still under warranty i will go toyota sc for services, only the basic maintenance. it cost me like 200+ to 300+ but when they propose other part maintenance like airc cond service the sum up bill is like 600+. so for other services i will go for other workshop, is it fine? any vios user did like this?

Hi guys regarding the 3rd gen vios, i notice rain dripping sound on my car roof is quite loud. during heavy rain the dripping noise is just like i'm staying under kampung rumah atap, the sound dip dip dok dok very loud, compare to 2nd gen which is more sound proof to me. anyone experience this?

well i did consult with the salesman he said i can file a complaint to vios sc and they will order something like pad and install inside the car roof. the cost is free if the car still under warranty i think, so does anyone can confirm on this?

hi guys wanna ask does 3rd gen vios have overheating issue?
currently there are only blue and red light as indicator (blue light always show up when start the engine, after few minutes the light indicator will gone). so far i haven't encounter the red light show up yet (touchwood).
my friend told me if the red light indicator show up means your car is overheating and it might cause harm to your car. his advice is to install car thermometer, at least it shows how many bars left from reaching overheating.
so what is your opinion?

I don't think so 3rd gen Vios will have this issue, considering it's still a relatively new model (since 2013) and most owners have it for 4 years only. biggrin.gif

Generally overheating only happens in cars over 10 years above.

A regular maintenance car should have no overheating problem.

Having said that, i think it's a good idea to install an analog meter to measure the heat. nod.gif

My previous car have it, so after change to this one, i m a bit annoy to see only an indicator light.  dry.gif

thanks for the reply, i have a thought of install voltmeter together with thermometer too, at least you know before your car battery out of battery, better than only realize it when you can't start your car before going to work biggrin.gif
