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..

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.

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

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..

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

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..

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. You have point here..

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.

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..

same here.. hahaha.. I heard the stock HU DVD only can be play during car in static (not moving). If car is moving, the DVD will not play. However, saw other forum-er bought some bypass cable to bypass the features, and it able to play while car is moving.. hehe..

Anyone got try put the pressure on the speedometer glass cover? the plastic cover. I tried to clean it yesterday and something really caught my attention. When I clean the speedometer glass cover, the glass surprisingly is in loose state (not fitted firmly to the edge of the dashboard cover). When you push it a bit (all 3 of it), you will find it's loose. Do you guys having the same phenomenon? If not, then it's production defect le, need complain liao.. haha.. lol..

Anyone changed the headlight bulb before? What is the original bulb brand Toyota installed? Osram or Philips?

If not mistaken the bulb type for headlight is H4 right? for 3rd gen vios.

Is it difficult to change the headlight bulb and also the small light bulb(we call it parking light?) ?

I worry if being installed in wrong way or wrong manner, the headlight alignment will "lari". This is what I worry the most as my previous car also being changed the headlight bulb by the acc shop and they messed up with my car headlight alignment. Since after, I changed the light bulb myself.

Since bought new VIOS, so wonder to ask the sifu2 here.. hehe.. thanks..

Struggling between Phillips Crystal Vision 4300k, Xtreme Vision +130% or Osram Laser (this one very new).
For parking light, 4000k or 6000k LED? t10 here..

I see.. Do you know how to open up the small lamp? Is it clipped or need to twist one? I know T10 leg is just slot in to the base housing only.

How about the main head light? I saw the power cable is connected to the leg of the bulb, the power cable can just pull off right? if pulled off, how to release the bulb? It must have something that hold the bulb in place.

Please advise sifu.. hehe.. thanks..

I see.. Thanks..

Today 1st time driving in quite heavy rain.. I notice the wiper will adjust the speed itself.. Is this by auto or how? Someone can explain? Tqtq..

Yeap, I did put to the highest(slowest) but at some time, the wiper trigger more often than standard rate. Then after some time, it back to normal trigger rate.. I don't know how.. is it by speed sensing?

Is it? Means your car speedometer cover is fitted firm and not loose(a bit free play) at all?
