wa... so fast new thread liao?

Toyota service center SA called me just now to confirm on tomorrow service appointment.. and on top of that I also asked him about the noise and dashboard vibrating noise when pass through uneven road, he asked me to book on weekdays to troubleshoot the problem as they only carry out express service maintenance on weekend. Hmm..

1. I also asked them on the engine oil they going to use for the first service. It's semi-synthetic oil. No more mineral oil for 1st service.

Ish..

Noted. Thx.

Which SC? I am going for my first service too. Roughly how much if compare semi and mineral?

Cheras Selatan, Balakong there.. If mineral should be cheaper than semi-sync. But now they do not have option for mineral oil for the 1st service. Only semi-sync oil is available for 1st service. I've been crawl back the old thread, got some also reported the same thing regarding the first service used engine oil.

Add on, my sales agent insist me to raise the issue to the service adviser, which I think it is a right for consumer/buyer as we are paying for it! Which is damn right, and if tomorrow the service adviser hegeh2 answer my inquiry, then I will straight complain to their HQ.

I will go to Toyota cheras Taman midah. They quoted Rm129.
Not sure what oil they using.
Yeah. Plz raise the issue if they dont provide mineral oil.
👍

Can ask them and see mahh =D

Thanks bro tag.. Cari link thread baru xjumpe.. Biasa admin ada tinggalkan link dkat last page old thread.. Heheh

Tomorrow will see how much it cost. In the mobile app, estimated cost is RM159 la, but let see the actual cost tomorrow. Will update here again.

Morning buddy
FYI
Rm135 for First service using semi oil

Confirm all Semi (at least) all the way of the service. & besides service those minor/major hiccup need to be weekdays.

May i know your handbrake pull 1 level or few level?
Before this, i need to pull my handbrake 3 level and after first service, i pull 1 level already stiff.
Which setting is correct?

sa did mention 15k above can opt for fully synthetic

the less the better

Alright. Thx
Peace of mind 👍

Just done, total cost RM401.

1. 1st service charge - RM159
2. Toyota body shine package (coating) = RM230 (on promotion now, gst exclusive)

Don't ask me why I go for the coating, I also don't know why but my heart keep told me to do it so lol.. my wallet bleed so much today.. huhu..

This post has been edited by kentbong92: Jul 15 2017, 08:44 PM

3 clicks for me on even flat road, 4 to 5 clicks on slope.

I saw the coating leh. The sales advisor damn teruk. Never recommend me this coating. Today officially get 1 light scratch damage by bicycle. 😱

light scratch. autosol or soft99

of course you may go higher grade of oil

Semi/fully is 10k?

Mineral and semi price not very far ahead. New car use semi ok ready. They direct pump so we no need bring back balance oil. Haha

I use semi coz low milleage.

OMG.. It hurt.. try method recommend by @hightechgadgets8 , but I think you need to do this on your own le..

I also bought the Meguiar interior detailer, and piece of microfiber cloth, then I do the interior myself, it took me almost 45 minutes, but after result was awesome, the interior looks nice and clean..

I put on door panels, dashboard, steering, gear lever, arm rest..


Yaya, the service adviser told me semi nowadays can go for 10k, however since this is my 1st service, I will just use it first, and only start to use fully synthetic after 2nd service..

How's the Toyota Coating?
Anti scratch ?
Does it shine like after polish?

Supreme Gloss & Lacquer Sealant
Chemical and solvent wash to prepare for layer polishing process
Multi-layer polishing to restore vehicle body shine by application of rubbing compound and glaze
Application of wax and supershine to protect and provide vehicle body shine
Application of lacquer sealant to preserve and protect vehicle body shine and produce an ultra-high gloss finish and lustre
FREE application of Tyre Shine

This is the package they offer me, RM230 (GST exclusive) and free wax application for next service.

I believe it should be anti scratch.
It do shine and the body paint looks very glossy. Seriously you will love it when you see your car under sunlight, it is so catchy.. xDD

Did they say can last how long? Need to re-apply?
Thx for your info bro!

They told me it can lasts for 1 year.. But since it's coated, they advise me to use normal car wash shampoo will be enough, if strong shampoo, it will wipe off the sealant faster.

Initially I also searching where I can do some coating to protect the paint, if use 3rd party service, anything happened during the process(coating), it will be hard to complaint and claim(if needed). If do at Toyota authorized SC, anything happen we still can complain to them, since the work done is under them.

So I just 1 shot lo, no need to keep searching where can get coating etc.. 1 year after only see how.. haha..

Anyone install "nice" spoiler with led brake light ? Cost 220 - 300 in mudah, lazada ..etc
Saw GX super white today on the road, but with this spoiler (black).

Very Yeng! 👍

which u using now ?

Saw one Vios GX car on the road today.. Super White colour contrasting well with black spoiler, black sport RIM.. darker headlamp and darker front chrome grill.. black and white colours are contrasting very well..



Checked with local accessories shop on the rear spoiler and paint, total cost about 250 together with installation. Anyone install before?? Got photo??

Wonder if can only change the suspension kit?
also i wonder if they give better tyre than cc5 on normal vios

Saw sc selling michelin XM2. No cc5 also

Cloaking to almost 2000km odometer, this car still feel under power when cruising...need to push harder to get idle speed...overall still satisfied with fuel consumption

Can share your fc? Full tank max how many km?

Recently toyota has come out with an upgraded version of Vios J with additional accessories

The upgraded things including :

Aerokit with Big Spoiler
Alloy rims like G spec

scaff plate

red color foot lamp like trd
red lining carpet like trd


Sad that this limited unit is not entitle for toyota discount like other spec

https://www.driven.co.nz/news/news/revealed...ound-the-world/

Only in this country, Japanese automotive # 2 is doing very well market.. but, not many other countries..

Try go to same car segment in same lyn car club, many feedbacks on many QC/ QA, knock2 sound, after sales .
At least, good worldwide automotive sales, Toyota got lesser ""feedbacks"".. hmm..

Yea.. lately before I purchase VIOS, Honda City FL also came across my mind.. However thinking for long term usage and reliability, Toyota is still the way to go! Today been crawling on LYN of Honda City FL, many complaints on the rattling noise from the seats, dashboard etc, even got the ABS modulator noise "kruk" when cruise at 40kph.. phew.. plus Honda City they just give you the very basic accessories (not to compare the safety features), dont have leg room ambient light(add on, rm3xx), no tinted(tinted package start from rm1xxx), no door visor(rm xxx), no dashcam, etc..

Not I want to bash how bad is Honda, but Honda everything you need to add on as extra package which cause extra $$$ on it.. VIOS come in 1 set, everything have, tinted, arm rest(base variant), leg room ambient light, car dashcam, door visor, etc.. which I think you no need to add on much, it's like you purchase the car and just drive, no need so troublesome to add dash cam, visor, etc.. even now VIOS across all variants come with standard safety features like VSC, BA, EBD, ABS, which I personally think it's good enough, however the airbags is really something that cons compare to Honda City.. but hey, do we hear as much airbag issue recall done by Toyota compare to Honda?

Just my 2cents.. Cheers..

Yes. Toyota really give good offer. All variant with full safety feature and push start.
No reason to choose Honda city

Pros
Rear Disc brakes = put a stop, efficient, confidently and prevent hit collision (Vios). No accident.

4 - 6 airbags = protect passengers (City) during accident happens. Got hit accident and Also important safety But hit happened.

The only main safety different is, no hit and got hit. Nobody wants car accident, and all want to prevent it.
Own wisdom and decision making to choose between..

Yes. You have point here..

450-500km per full tank on RON 97...isnt that impress?

Very impressive. City or highway?

Noob question: when Toyota offers cash rebate of x amount and/or ang pow/duit raya of x amount, is the total cash rebate deducted from the total selling price of the car model, or it is a rebate for the downpayment?

This post has been edited by noname83: Jul 19 2017, 10:07 PM

both ways work.

Cool. Thanks.

Looking great.

How much rebate they offer?
Deduct from the total price.
U still have to pay 10% from the after rebate price.
Make sure it is On-The-Road price. 😬

can share where u get the interior detailer?

i meant the tyres that comes with the car, not the one SC is selling.
since it is a sport edition, i was wondering if they put in other tyres, since CC5 isnt exactly a performance tyre.

Hi, I get it from here --> http://www.lazada.com.my/meguiars-g13616-q...nK&ff=1&sc=ERI0

this one only does cleaning, and restore the interior look.. it will not make the interior looks glossy, please take note.

just spray at surface and start wiping? do i have to like preclean the surface first before applying this? like wipe of the dust etc

Yes.. Just spray on the surface and start wiping, but be careful not to spray on to electronic device such as HU, power window switch, gear lever area, etc.. Just avoid any area with electronic stuff.. But those place still can be wipe, just spray on the microfiber towel and wipe..

This detailer purpose is to clean the dirt or dust on the dashboard or interior, so just spray and wipe, no need any pre clean..

City drive only, anyon know how to update HU system firmware?

Dear Sifus, need your opinion on this matter.

I copied this from another website I found as I felt that it is a similar issue and it more or less explained the situation.

"I think it can't engage the 4th gear. On highway, after smoothly exceeding about 70~80kph, it like gone into neutral, engine just over-rev on its own. I slow down and then there is a jerk, presumingly engaging back to 3rd gear."

I noticed something similar to the over-rev part. So any opinions on this? Is it a gearbox issue?

What am I looking at in terms of cost of repair if needed?

My Vios was bought in 2011 1.5J Auto

I think all this years never do major service. Only normal service.

Recently at February, at 35,000km did normal service at Toyota Service centre. Other times, over the years I will bring it to the ENEOS workshop near my house for normal service.

Thank you.

Wiring problem ☝️

hi guys,
I am interested to own vios hopefully soon. Too much h city on the road . Btw I need feedback from u all
please rate/comment on VIOS previous version VS current version in term of CVT gearbox, NVH. And also why do you prefer T vios compared to other competitor. Thanks guys.

Quite subjective question.For me :-
1) Worldwide sales figure
https://www.driven.co.nz/news/news/revealed...ound-the-world/

2) benchmark few car segments in LYN, which got many QC/QA feedbacks, Service Centre overcharging, less problems

3) Reliable sources and brand for many many years, not only here.. but worldwide..

.. my old car P1 upgraded to current Vios..

This post has been edited by netmask8: Jul 24 2017, 04:54 PM

What is P1? 😬

proton

I see.
Me also currently driving p1 campro. Points that make me want to go for vios because they already introduce new gearbox, and upgrade safety feauture. Mostly toyota service centre also better than honda right ?

it's back

Kindly avoid power washer nozzle aim to camera at all cost, its a disaster

This post has been edited by Zack5095: Jul 24 2017, 08:09 PM

Rear camera got nozzle?

he meant those high pressure water jet they use at car wash

P1 = Proton, P2 = Perodua..

Upgrade from P1 to Vios..

Also subjective question.. Depending on service centre, area, staffs + service centre manager..go to other LYN car segments, you will know each problem.. imho, toyota forum, got less QC/QA human errors, assembly matters ..etc

Brand is the important factor.. Why worldwide ppls buy Toyota?
Even in Japan too.. Only in this country, ppls ignore brand(trust), safety and prefer gadgets, design ..etc

camera masuk water ?

hi bro , if you are from Klang valley .
you are welcome to my showroom to test drive the vios .

Finally i found this new thread for Vios
