Would like to know for 10k service, what items will be done at SC?
Other than engine oil and oil filter change.
*
Normally that's it, but you can opt for better oil, eg fully syn oil.

First 2 services they normally pour in semi oil, for engine to break in, and lubricate the vital parts in the engine.

Extra items would be wheel alignment, balancing, & rotation.

Bro, fully syn toyota sc giving 0W?
*
1 is 5W-40 - The most expensive one.
2 is 0W-20 - Cheaper a bit

Both are fully synthetic oil.

hey guys, new Vios G owner here, so far pretty satisfied moving down from Peugeot 308, just feel like a bit lack of oomph when accelerating from stall.

I'm wondering what oil should I get for my new vios when servicing 1k? I'm a safe medium speed urban driver with super low mileage (my 308 clocked 52k over 8 years LOL).

mineral/semi/fully, and what viscosity (if my SC have the options)?

and any safe mods (aka not voiding warranty or have risk) I can do to increase the power?
*
For the 1st and 2nd service, aka first 1k and 5k, just use their semi oil or mineral oil for engine to break in first. From 3rd service onwards, 10k, if you are low mileage users, suggest to get semi-syn oil or 0W-20 fully syn oil, 0W-20 is lighter, can improve FC, and also is cheaper than 5W-40 (fully syn).

QUOTE(carerra @ Dec 4 2019, 10:27 AM)
I think first 2 service they use mineral oil.
For semi oil, roughly how much?
The wheel alignment/balancing/rotation, the SC will do it or need to request?
If request, need extra charge or already cover under advance max check cost?
*
Not sure about Semi oil, but should not more than RM 300 la..

For tyre alignment, balancing and rotation, need request extra from SC, and extra cost from it, RM 66++
If you car still under 1k mileage, and alignment for problem, can go back complain, and they will fix it for free.

For 15k, 25k, 35k, 45k - add on fuel cleaner system or additive if you can afford. E. G liqui moly, caltex techron concentrate plus.

What kind of Liqui Moly addictive?

QUOTE(yonghong @ Dec 5 2019, 08:49 AM)
Hi Bro. Thanks for reply. However, are they low noise on road? some tyre quite noisy. My priority is
comfortable. any recommendation? budget wise below Rm300 . Thanks.
*
Michelin PS3 still consider low noise on the road, but not the best.

If priority mean for comfortable, just go for conti cc6, or micheline xm2+ or yokohama es32. These tires price range roughly 200+-

BTW, my front tire CC5 pump 240 angin, and rear tire CC5 pump 230 angin every month ..
100% town roads, speed is more than 80 kmh and got many traffic lights and 30 km/h bump slower on Taman Road..

10k, 20k, 30k, 40k, 50k service using 0w full synthetic oil at SC.
15k, 25k, 35k, 45k, 55k, put caltex concentrate plus fuel system cleaner..

If total highway road, example from Muar to Ipoh or Penang, speed 85 - 125km/h easily get at least 680km mileage or more full tank or min. 18. 3 km per liter..

240? wont your ride become bumpy? I usually pump 225 front and 215 rear. Wont too soft, wont too hard..

QUOTE(Calvin82 @ Dec 6 2019, 08:54 AM)
For Vios 2019, which headlamp level that you all choose for the best coverage while avoid distraction to other road users? 0 is the highest level while 5 is the lowest.
*
I use level 1, when travel home town (hway) at night, I use 0 level.. haha..
Normally factory aligned headlamp level is ok one already.. wont too high to glare others.

Unless hand itchy and go adjust the headlamp level. rolleyes.gif

hey guys, vios 2016 here. is the straight like a ruler length light below front lamp is LED light or DRL? im not knowledgeable about cars. but then it stopped working now, usually i press start button the light is on automatically. is the bulb is faulty? or i automatically turned it off? if yes how do i turn it on, thanks.
*
It's called DRL day time running light, and its made of LED, not bulb.

If it's not working, first thing you can do is send to SC and ask them to check for you.

Normally is DRL fuse is burnt, or DRL module is faulty.

btw do u know where the fuse/fusebox located ? and which is the fuse for drl?
*
You may check on the right side of the engine bay, you will notice a black box. And you open up the cover, then you will see bunch of fuse & relay in it. Then u turn over the cover, there will be a labeling on the fuse/relay position of the components in car. Try search DRL light or something. It might be labelled as fuse, or relay. Just look for it.

vios 2018, anyone change the battery on your own? anything to be aware of? TQ
*
1. Disconnect -ve terminal from your battery, place the terminal in a glove or cloth to prevent it touching with car body.
2. Disconnect +ve terminal, and do the same as step 1.
3. Unscrew the bracket that hold the battery.
4. Replace with new battery.
5. Connect +ve terminal to the +ve node of new battery.
6. Connect -ve terminal to the -ve node of the new battery.
7. Try to start the car. If the car is started and running, then screw back the bracket.
8. For step 1,2,5 and 6, handle with care, avoid touching the terminal with car body.

Correct me if I am wrong ya.. thanks..

Anybody got issue regarding panaromic view sometimes stuttering and goes blank(the right camera), other time it's just fine?  I'm driving 2017 vios.
*
Same year with you. Record video of the faulty camera screen and send it to your SA. Can claim warranty.

Below is my car 360 problems till now.
1. All camera view go dark, restart the car, no luck. Went SC and claimed the 360 cam ECU (total cost RM2.7k), as written on the service draft.
2. LHS & rear camera view blinking and sometimes go dark. Went SC and replaced the wire harness.
3. Last 2 weeks, front, LHS & rear camera all blinking and sometime go dark. Went SC and replaced all with new camera unit.

All is under warranty. So for now all is good. Just hope my RHS camera don't give problem.

Servicing price increases so much after mco?

N it's not a must to do engine flush & aircond right? Advisor claimed if don't do will VOID WARRANTY! 60k service.

He was pushing so extreme hard n insisted on payment BEFORE car is being serviced, never experienced such service all these while with other advisors
*
Change your service advisor to other people!

My case, I am also due for 60k service last week. My SA did advise me to take the AC service package, together with the service. However, I asked her if I can postpone my AC service, she said can, but need to get it done by end of this year. It's no matter you done the AC service in which month, but as long as u get it done in this year to retain the warranty.

So far, I am very satisfied with the service provided by my SA. Very attentive to customer inquiry.

Her name is Aziera, from SC Balakong.

QUOTE(hightechgadgets8 @ Jun 17 2020, 12:38 PM)
go another SC; balakong SC keeps tell me alignment and balancing MUST be done, then i went cheras, they say its optional
*
Bro, try change your SA to Aziera, she is very good. Trust me.

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 
No wonder. I can only achieve half of that a week here.

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..
