Hi Brother,

Which Meter cover? Possible to capture Photo? I have the same rattling noise, send to SC 2 times but problem not solve.

Thanks

Why not try my solution

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=findpost&pid=88324364

i sent mine to Service Center for 2 times too. One is unable to fix it, the other one is special appointment for sound locating and possible fixs. The techinician drive my car around bumpy and coarse road to try to produce the noise, and by revving the engine up and down to ' shake' the car too. He heard the noise, and when back at the SC , they open up the part where the horn and AirBag is and said the noise originated from there ( but it's not ), but tapping on the steering wheel with the Horn/AirBag, the noise is like some loose metal washer rattles. They said need another appoitment which is completely waste of time. So i took matter to my own hands and open up and finally the noise is from behind the meter panel (must remove the meter cover in red arrow ) and but rustling my finger here and there, the noise is gone for GOOD. Since then, there's no noise until today for months already.

- There's various rattling noise in my VIOS 2014 too, here i list it.
1. Behind meter panel , Soultion : Open the cover and rustle it as hard as i can : Fixed
2. Black plastic cover ( behind the cup holder ) , Splution : Open up the push/start cover and the black cover and add some Daiso Wheather soft sponge strips : Fixed
3. Door panel ( driver side ) Add some old cloth but open up the door handle : fixed
4. AC vents ( driver side and center panel ) , open up the slider clipes and add some thin sponge : Fixed

That's the noise i found in my vios and the solutions i found. But i cannot guarantee that it works for everyone. But i also hope it works for you, yes, those rattling noise it's darn annoying while driving.

Hi vios member, yesterday my vios 2015 G spec suddenly stop and cannot start back. I thought is battery problem but after changed new one still cannot start. Then tow to Toyota SC. After checked, informed that the air filter got broken and some plastic pieces go into throttle body and damage the body. So now the car got high rpm around 2-3 when in N or P gear but D gear is ok. Asked about the price to change the new throttle body and replied RM3k plus. I was shocked. Anyone has this experience? Anyone can recommend some shop can repair toyota car at reasonable price?

I'm sure if you do periodic maintenance, they will change the air filter accordingly. I hope this incident does not affect consumer's trust on Toyota's engine reliability.

Guys!

I have a long crack on my Vios G Spec Windscreen.

Anybody have any experience changing the acoustic windshield and how much will it be?

The concern is that its an acoustic windshield and 3rd party windscreen shop most likely doesnt have it.

cant change at sc?

Hi,

For those who own vios G Spec and above, would like to ask about the leather seat as below:

1) After long hot sunny day, will the seat get very hot until not comfortable to sit on it? How about on cold/rainy days?

2) Will the seat get crack easily? If yes, roughly after how many years?

3) Need constant care for the leather seat? For example apply some chemical or something? Or just need to wipe with damp cloth from time to time?

Still undecided whether want to go for G or E.
Never own a leather seat car before.

I own G Spec Vios year 2014. The Beige/Black variant. To answer your questions as above :

1) After long hot Sunny day , the seat won't get that hot, but it's best not to give it as much as sunlight ( The leather can dry and crack )
. You just need to open door and cool it down for few minutes and can sit on it.
Rainy/Cold days is the best one, the seat is cold , very comfortable to sit on.

2) I have used it for 4 years and still in 9/10 condition. The only real leather is the perforated leather. The side , the headrest, the backs, sides, all is PU. You have to be very cautious of sharp objects and coarse surfaces. Things like paper is a big no no . Paper can be very sharp since it can cut fingers if not careful, so refrain from placing documents or any papers.

3) You just need to use leather conditioner found in supermarkets once in a while, it has the chemical to keep the leather moisture and also clean smudges from daily uses. If it's not too dirty, use microfiber cloth ( safer on leathers ) from time to time, the water can also helps keep the real leather moisture.

Leather seats is comfortable to sit , easy to clean, less dusty.

Fabric seats generally is more durable ( no worries of cracks ), can be slight dusty, a bit hard to clean if spilled with stains like beverages and food sauces. but if taken care regularly by vacuum and wipe with damp cloth, they can be very easy to care.

Ayone can share your input

This is very subjective. If you have the money, always do everything at sc, guarantee high quality. If you want the alternative, depends on your luck. Might get cheated with inferior product. Unless you know the workshop very well. This does not affect other warranty whatsoever apart from rust- proof.

Thanks for the info.

I m the one .... order at April 28th and car deliver on 7th may ...... #%##!,!%!#!%?}?###%

Anyone has similar experience or can advice me. I have a Vios 2017, when driving on a rainy day or a cool morning my front and back (sometimes also all windows) windscreen gets very foggy and cannot see. Back windscreen has heater so no problem but front windscreen foggy condition gets worst when using the wiper. The car does not have any heater-hot air blow function to the windscreen.

turn down your ac. or specifically the temp knob there, go lesser. not more cool.

either turn up the air cond temp or down depending on weather, windscreen foggy cos outside temp and interior temp imbalance
