That day reverse car, and accidentally scratch the bottom of the bumper with the divider. It is not direct contact to the bumper, but it get scratch below the bumper.
And now, the RHS bumper like got gap already. It's not noticeable from far, but from close look, can see through the bumper clip/retainer.

Any sifu here, know the possible solution to close back the gap?

Last year I clipped the side portion, the bumper came out. But I just push it back in. Thankfully no gap but my bumper plastic nub gone missing. Bought one whole set of bumper nubs. haha

I think take this time to go to acc shop and let them take out the bumper and reinstall.

Mine also but not that bad that is until I changed my exhaust system. blush.gif

bruh, what exhaust system u go for?

I saw MaxRacing exhaust, plan to take their Stage 2 package,
Resonator + Muffler only. To replace the current rusty muffler tips. haha..
*
No brainer with their set-up. Well priced also.
I have a similar set-up with two resonator and one s-flow muffler Thailand-made. Slightly better pickup and lower bass tone with very minimal droning inside.

Our new engine Vios has the huge resonator in the middle so if you just change the muffler, basically little to no sound at all.
I keep the ori exhaust just in case I need to fix it back someday. biggrin.gif

Claim from service center. They change drl module near pedal there

Eh? Not the one near the fusebox?


QUOTE(joey2000 @ Jan 17 2021, 12:53 PM)
This one can be claimed if you service your car at service center and still under warranty.

Just got it replaced at SC this week. FOC.

Does it look different? The module inside the engine bay I mean.


I changed mine once. Broken again after . They said they have an updated module. Hope it lasts. dry.gif

Boss, I suggest you change your bulb. It's the bulb design unfortunately.
G spec bulb HIR2 is an odd one and yet performance is very subpar with bad LEDs.

You should sell your Novsight and buy a Philips Ultinon Essential HIR2.

Hi guys!

Long time no see.
My car just hit 50k after 4 years.
But still yet to change my CVT gearbox oil. Anyone did it earlier than 80k km interval? 1 more year for warranty but mileage so low. laugh.gif

Oh yeah, I've changed to a projector bulb (H4 type) for my J/E spec headlights.
Now felt like G spec but brighter dy. Great cut-off too.

I changed mine during my 40k km service even though my mileage was only around 36k at that time. SC said the CVT oil can last up to 80k but I just replaced it for safety precaution.

Dang. Okay. I'm not a particularly slow driver so I am quite concerned about it. Gonna do mine next round then. biggrin.gif

Anyone can recommend fuel additive for 2nr-Fe?

Liqui-Moly? Bardahl? Penrite?

Car is already 5 year old. Need some preventive measures as am always using Ron95 with less cleaning additives than Ron97.

NCP150 2016 version here, I have no more warranty with Toyota (expired after 5 years), thus I am looking for outside workshop that can perform almost similar with SC servicing (trusted and proven). Can anyone suggest me the workshop around Kajang/Balakong/Bangi/Cheras if any? If not, Klang Valley also possible.

On the other hand, yesterday I figured out the noise came "kruk kruk" when steering the wheel to left and a little bit on right. What could be the issue ? Steering rack ?

FYI, steering rack just changed April 2021 (claim warranty SC Toyota) for FOC.
*
Probably the same issue but anyway you can try checking out Kakimotor Cheras to get to the bottom of it.
Rest assured they're reputable.

QUOTE(zeng @ May 30 2022, 12:36 PM)
Can someone share which local brand(s) of Ron95 is known to have lesser quantity (or quality) than its Ron97 sibling ??

Brands marketed in foreign countries excluded, if any.
*
I think Petronas's new ron95 formulation is the best for me.
Then Petron. Shell is last. Just doesn't give me more mileage nor power.

If you have BHP nearby, then BHP > Petronas.

Relay gg again for sure.


Oh yeah, KYB ULTRA RS is already available for 2014++ Vios models. I heard after 5 years shocks started to degrade and become soft already. Mine does. Going over bumps felt a little jarring.

triple max 2. the lifespan is short prepare to replace every 30k odo
grip is good even dry n wet road 90' corner limit can reach 70kph
road noise is fine to me. air pressure need to pam a lot in order to perform normally

xm2 plus. lifespan is very long. eco friendly we dont expect high grip.
dangerous corner limit between 40-50kph. silence than avg taya in market

I'm using ATM2 195/55R15. Can say it's pretty balanced and worth the slightly higher tyre wear. I mean, grip is everything and it's not even a high end tyre.

I kena something like grass-cutter pole scrapes before. It literally showed me the grey primer beneath. Probably just 100 microns of paint.

Anyone tried claiming warranty for their front DVR (dashcam)?

Mine went cuckoo after 5 years. Not the micro-sd card's fault.

Yikes. The fifth year is like the year where most wear & tear will happen. In the meantime, I've bought a replacement unit.
70Mai front & back during 16/9 promos.

I also kept hearing a bit of krock2 sound during <10 km/h drive. Probably steering rack. wink.gif

Yes. My Yi cam which was transferred from my other car 5 years ago still works and it helped me in some cases.

Daihatsu new global agriculture, new chasis tech made driving more stable. Im persona 2016 user, going sell the car soon.
    The persona served me well for the past 6 years. The front seat so comfy and the handling are superb. Radiator rusting problem caused by the premix blue color proton coolant, ops for green coolant mix half water will solves the problem. But i will not buy any proton model with punch cvt gearbox again. Maybe 2022 model proton already refine all the problem after geely take over. It's value for the price, go ahead if wanna find a car for daily commute.
      Vios of course way better but...haiz rm30k more expensive...
*
It is more expensive but if you notice the resale value for 5 years, it's actually not bad. You can either keep some of the money or just all in deposit and get a more upscale car in the future.

After 3 months, this new motor not turning on even after turning aircond at min temp.
How to troubleshoot this?

If you changed it with an OEM part, please change to original part.
Cheap OEM parts usually will give out faster than usual.

How many mileage ady? biggrin.gif
Any other problems with your ride?

So far mine is still alright but mileage is quite low. +85K.
Need to change absorbers though. Getting worn out.

How about your fuel consumption? Mine is getting 380-400km only nowadays. (90% city driving though).

7/8 year mark with this guy.

Already sold it? bye.gif

i have a vios 2011, ncp 93. recently found out when i turn roundabout and press brake, will have metal grinding sound. but no sound if i did not step the brake while turning.

i brought to two workshop :

first workshop say it is ABS issue, need to change abs pump and not sure if it is working, might need to change abs sensor. ABS pump only cost 1200, ABS sensor 1800.

another workshop say is steering rack issue, have to replace steering rack, about 750 including workshop.

anyone got experience on this issue and what to fix ?

Go to more workshops to troubleshoot if not you won't get your answer.

Around that ballpark. Still fine.
Bando is synonymous with beltings.
Gaido is still okay. Hope it will last long.
