Dear Vios User do share any issues that u faced with ur Vios.
Do put some info about ur Vios

I'll start first,

Vios Facelift
puchased July 2006
mil 27k++

Problems:

The Cracking/ ticking sound (to be precise sound like current jumping from the Van de Graaff Electrostatic Generator aka tesla coil) between F/Right tire and the body(if u squad down u can see altenator(also not sure but something looked like motor).

The tick tick not immediately happen, but only after i drove car for some KM then when u took a corner. It will clearly heard if i'm in the basement parking. And this problem the SC still didn't have the solution for it yet.

But already explain to then it not neither my driveshaft nor the stones that stuck to the tires. The sound don't have sequent and not immediately happen . I can say 90% believed that something to do with Electrostatic / not proper grounding.


When i start the car in the morning, the belting (i dunno which one ) gimme very annoying sound. Sometime it will cont. itching me even after i drove more than 10km...
(make me shamed with my neighbors) - But solve after complained 3 times to the SC.

Agreed ............

But nothing to hide, just to help other consumer ...................

What is AF Ratio???

Yes wind down the window, i'll now can say it's 100% electrostatic/spark. When at the petrol pump it make me more crazy.





IINM they told me that to tighten the belt u need to apply certain power and certain tight, or else it will hurt the bearing inside.
I drove alot laa bro,

Nope, i also had the tick-tick from the radio compartment but if happen i only need to press the wooden look-a-like frame the sound gone already.

but i donno it happen to u or not , but u can try after driving a while when u gonna take a junction (45 degrees / 5-10 kmh) while ur window is down , u can hear a tick tick sound at ur driver side .

P/S: It also happen to this PGR 9182, just hear it when the Mech doing the testing, i ask the toyota guy there they said the owner complained that his car got cracking sound under his car. But the Mech didnt remarks what they have done and i also donno is it solve or not

Just share the problem that u can ignore, that u DIY, that u brought up to SC
a few times but didnt solve.
