Toyota owners sifus...
My wife vios start to vibrate when hitting the brake and hold at some point in reverse gear. Minor vibrate in traffic jam with feet on brake, Suspect need to change brake pad..

If goto toyota service center just to change brake pads ONLY, can?
Cause previously all service time, they will include those max check etc and labor costs, end up like 100+
Wanna skip those unnecessary check

Car 6 yrs, no more under warranty

Sounds like engine mounting started to wear off…

Thats gonna be costly

Dont think so, cause its only when i reverse, then hold on the brakes

Vibrating on the dashboard? Whole car?

Sounds like engine mounting wear off early symptom. How old is this car?

6 yrs, but mileage less than 50k😂
Dashboard only
If engine mounting normal idling should vibrate too?

Btw, do u goto service in toyota center?

Get brakes pads from outside and service outside.

Toyota charge damm a for brake pads.

Contact this. Original parts. Dont worry.

Vanli

Btw does it vibrate when in gear also?

Doesnt vibrate in other condition

I Been buying stuff vanli before.. But cheap2 also RM270
My cars always mechanic bawah pokok
But u know, girls dun wan. Cars must service in service centre, cleaner and peace of mind worr
I also explain till dry throat

Ooh then too bad. I been buying from Vanli since 2015. All company cars after warranty over will go to outside shops.

As long parts are genuine, no issues for me.

Workmanship not much unlike Toyota.

Can...

Me also Toyota sc only

I think this is his main concern, to skip the unnecessary check
And costs
How about normal service? Can i also ask to skip maxcheck?
Just bought a new yaris last year, going to 3rd service next month

Best to call and make appointment.

I think walk in just to change brake pads, something not really worth their time and man cost...might take some time just to not layan you...

HaHa.

Thanks! Thats great to know!

U mean can skip maxcheck right?

Shes always been kena these maxcheck stuff for few yrs
I asked if its compulsory, she dono
Haizzx, if can skip, mana kena cut throat few yrs already 😭

Roger that
Nrver been there, recently she busy.. I become delivery boy lo
But toyota service center should be very particular in customer service satisfaction , i heard
Or depends on branch maybe

Dont mind me asking
U also girl? And why must go service center only 😂 like my wife?
I mean, any specific other reasons? 😁

Can, its your car, you decide what they can do on your car, they can only recommend, you can also ask them to check specific things only and advise without changing anything, but labor charge apply to the checking.

why not bring her along to toyota sc, let her talk to the sc what to do and decide on the charges, let her feel good as she is driving the car, it is cheap for only cost a few hundreds to keep wife happy and car happy at the same time.

trust

you can tell them during registration. no problem one. my office car also went to service center only.

Just goto Toyota SC and let them diagnose what's the problem. Happy wife happy you.

Sounds like a bad mounting. When change mounting, it is best practise to change all 3 (Left & Right Engine Mounting + Gearbox Mounting)
When switch to reverse gear, Engine will Rev a bit higher than Idling, and when driving forward will be a bit hard to notice mounting faulty.
If there is something wrong with your brakes, it doesnt matter whether it is forward or backward, your steering wheel will vibrate like crazy. Do note brake vibration doesnt limit to brake pads, it may also cause by warp brake disc, calipers, ABS.

All the while is she go service center herself
I temporary help only this round

Just wana skip the wallet maxcheck

Sure thing, ill let mechanic do the job
The main reason i suspect brake pads is its almost due, previous service already know it has to be changed next service
Its never been changed since bought new, 6 yrs 🤣

Parking I donno man. Sounds like transmission issue. Update us once resolved.

my recommendation, follow instructions from the queen for less trouble.

but then, at the end of the day its your call

Vibrations during braking = disc warped.
Possible to skim it but check the price for new

If only reverse got issue, then is not brake

Suggest you send in for a thorough check.
Peace of mind bro.

sounds like it but how can a 6 years old car's engine mounting be wearing off...it's a toyota vios
not a perodua viva

She just mentioned that sometimes when stuck in jam, then continue press on the brakes for few minutes also will minor vibrate

Fkk.. I check2, this vios 3rd gen is front & back also got brake pad?
Thats gonna be rm500-600 excluding labor
All the while i thought rear is brake shoe

This time really kaw2 liao

True. If outside stop doing shit to peoples vehicles, perhaps then people would trust them too. I am in the battery business and I tell you the amount of shit I see is unbelievable. It is almost like its intentionally done. The more damages that will incur later, the higher their income will be.

Impossible 50k mileage do this to Toyota

I never skip max check. But u can always go and change parts if u need to without max check.

Yea lo, i see the receipt also die laughing
Maxcheck, -half of them are just rubbish eg check seat belt, lights, horn, tyre pressure, coolant level, steering wheel.. All those eyes see also know

Horn ? I definately dont remember hearing this.

Exactly
Scamming customers, especially youngsters n ladies
Not to forget fake oils and cheap parts sold as premium

New car don't skip lah. My not new also take maxcheck for peace of mind.

Just went through the receipt yesterday, its there 😂

Make sure to go to umw owned Toyota sc only. Don't go those 3s/4s owned by dealer.

But if u service every 3-4 months, means every 3-4 mths need to pay to check seat belts, check lights, check horn 😅
Once a year is enough, for me la

Of course theres others necessary stuff like fluid level. Etc

This.

Trust and peace of mind.

No fix A, then B broken, fix B, C broken lmao

I travel alot...225k mileage 🤣

Anyway max check is not check seat belts la lol

Part of the list, u check n see
But again, if just checked this round, next round service in 3-4 mths also no need to check suspension, fluid level, brake pad, mounting etc la

Just my thinking.. I understand ur reasons for peace of mind too

Thats why I like doing battery replacements for new cars because the batteries in them last the longest.

What I dont like seeing is the originals been cut off and added in place some stupid stuff thats not according to specification. Example

Original wiring



I don't know what wiring



Both of them were found in different cars but same model. Can you spot where the danger is ?

Or like my SIL, I had been telling her to get an original alternator but you know la customers are always right and smarter than my diagnostic tool. So she keep buying recond units. Here is the funny part this is her 3rd alternator with the same battery.

😨😨😨😨😨
😂😂😂😂😂

The most craziest part is outsiders my clients believes in my diagnostic tool more than my family member. That's pretty fcuked-up

you can direct go to Toyota SC and place order for brake pad, then send to other workshop/yourself to install it

If you suspect brake pad better change outside. Maybe buy the original parts from a known authorize dealer and ask outside workshop help pasang. Honda service centre change 1 pair of brakepad oso quote me rm800 gila price.

Mounting fuh sure they gonna charge 1k above minimum. The parts are cheap. But those complicated work of dismantling the engine mounting they charge a lot

most likely quality of roads.

never underestimate our shitty roads.

If outside bawah pokok can guarantee no problems with all the electronics after work, why not. Friend's 10 year old car had be sold because his mechanic cannot guarantee the electronics.

Old vehicles no problemo, now try doing that to a vehicle with sensors everywhere. Here's the hilarous part, its so sensitive even there are times the SC dont get it right all the time. I am not referring to Toyota SC but another.

Vibration when braking?
Possible cause is brake disc needs changing.
Change the brake pads at the same time.

check rotors and mountings

Can

Lol and they say go to bawah pokok to service car 🤣🤣🤣

I also won't send my car to outside workshop, penny wise pound foolish.

Alot of them buy car but no money to maintain. Pity.

I think it depends very much how honest is that guy bawah the pokok. If completely dishonest, the good vehicle will be crap in no time. That was what happened to my client previous vehicle. They wanted to save, in the end they got rid of the car. Now the rely exclusively on SC only, until the SC starts to screw up that relationship also. I dont blame them either, seeing the amount of nonsense done.

Also depends how much knowledge the owner has, if none better listen to SC lo. If got, at least can roll the dice outside and still can get away with it, just with a lesser damage that's all. Dont want damage, then buat repair sendiri la, betul ?

I just follow the service book and buy the parts that are required to change after warranty

SC prices just too high if you know where to get.

It's the rotors. You have to change it together with a new set of brake pads

SC got higher overheads ma. Bawah pokok where got such overheads betul ?

Imagine I got Toyota SC dealership and I dont build but just tanam pokok and put 2 containers 1 Customer Lounge and 1 Billing and Spare Parts. All my mechanics duduk bawah pokok, siapa nak datang ?

sabah has the worst road ever and my car's mounting is still holding on at 14 years old
4 inline mounting will always last long than any 3 pot engine's mounting

it's definitely something else

brake disc or rotor is not even liao? since you saying you only feel the vibration when u pressing brake

Question is yours what car ? How come 14 years still holding ? Mileage very low ?

If your vehicle speed at 80kmh , u jab brake pedal , steering vibrate means front rotor warped. If you feel vibration at brake pedal , it is your rear rotor if you have G spec Vios and higher.

If car stationary , you put reverse gear , engine vibrate means engine mount worn out. Or u need to clean your mass airflow sensor and throttle body , check for vacuum leaks as well if engine rpm drops below 600rpm.

saga BLM....bought it the year it's released
i do know it's due to be changed but it's still holding on
if a proton one can still hold on, no way a 4 inline vios already needing to change at 6 years old...not even myvi has this problem

the same thing cannot be said to a 3 pot engine when 2 weeks ago i send 1 of my car to a/c service, the same time there is a 4-5 years old axia there for a/c repair
but i'm not talking about a/c repair, when popping the hood, the engine is vibrating pretty violently

If in stationary it vibrates (either in N or in D), mounting problem

True

Plus if go over road bump without slowing down it will make mounting koyak faster

why not? rubber degrades in heat. and you know every company also trying to cut cost, right?
btw, engine mounting is not covered in warranty, considered wear and tear item.

sound like engine mounting problem, if worse case only Reverse gear only vibrate, then it is transmission problem

Thats true, toyota original parts are long lasting, especially those install in factory

Perodua no need to say d,... Low cost, low quality
Engine mounting normally less than 5 yrs, start vibrate
Oem maybe even less

unless that car is parked under scorching sun 24/7/365 for the past 6 years
and the original mounting is way way more durable than those aftermarket ones

aftermarkets one thn yes, i would agree


none of my proton saga and myvi's original mounting has started to degrade yet
despite 1 is 14 years old and another is 10 years old
my friend's alza is 9 years old....220k KM ODO...also not yet need to change mounting

that's why i think it's impossible for a vios's mounting to degrade that fast
if it is thn i'm very disappointed toward toyota's quality

Perodua parts quality same as Toyota, engine mounting i remember i reach 7 years at 150,000 baru change.

u delivery boy u deliver to outside workshop also she dono

I think I'm your client. Already sold that car destroyed by bawah pokok mechanic. Went to various bawah pokok recommended by friends. No more. SC can rape me dry for all I care.

Vibrating in reverse confirm mounting liao. Ive gone thru this so many times on my pijot and proton


SC also cannot trust lah last time my pijot obd port cannot read pijot sc say must change whole car wiring atleast rm15k. Go outside check rupanya2 the car shares the same fuse as the DRL. less than rm10 job

wrong. start and cold down many times also generate heat cycles that will degrade your mounting. engine compartment very hot

off course how you drive also is important, if red line the car always also will degrade the mountings fast

I rarely hear mountings can last 14 or even 10 years. many I hear is 5 -6 years for the original one, then depending on what you use for replacement.

Now that u guys mentioned it, maybe mine ori perodua lasted longer
Then when ots spoiled, workshop changed cheap brands, probably china made.
Thats why recently all lasted 3-4 yrs only

I think start-stop traffic conditions are also bad for mountings because lots of torque is generated to move car from stationary, this stresses the mountings. So mileage and age aren't exactly accurate indicators of wear on mountings.

TBH none of the cars that i owned and driven before needed to change engine mounting before
even the waja that i'm forced to sell due to being neglect by my dad also never changed before when it's sold
and that's also have over 200k KM on the ODO

and right now under my belt, i have 4 cars....all never change mounting before, all over 5-6 years
so if i'm wrong, i must be really wrong

Thats possible, gonna check that out
