Toyota Corolla 10th Generation Altis Owners [continued]

[vinj]

Oic. Hope everything turns out well sa altis mo and issue will be resolved sa casa. Yang tok sound na yan sakit ba ng corolla yan o ngayon lang lumabas sa mga 10th and 10.5gen models ? Parang mag ganyang issue din nakikita mga owners ng 2013 vios. Same issue kaya yun o doff cases.

Yep, hope it's resolved. I suspect it could be a bent (even just slightly) caliper pin. The ish came out when the car was serviced at 20,000kms which included brake cleaning. It's a common issue on the gen 10 ang 10.5 Corolla at the least. We've had three units of the Gen 9 Corolla (2003, 2006 and 2007 model) and this was never a problem (although warping rotors was the common problem of that model - easily fixed by getting replacement rotors).

Got my altis G at 60k discount. Got to see the lancer and i noticed that it has a very small compartment

That's my main gripe with the Lancer. We use an EX when we're at Bacolod and my family weekend luggage barely fits into the boot.

My car will be at the shop for a couple of days to do warranty repair on the "tok" sound on the brakes. I hope they really get to fix it now and the SA told me that they may need to replace something.

*vinj. Any update on the "tok" sound?

Medium silver nga ba ang tawag sa pinaka light na silver ng altis ? Sabi ng SA thermalyte daw yun. Nde ako sure kung same lang.

Sa a/t, when do use 3, 2 and L?

3 is 3rd gear, 2 is 2nd gear and L is low pag mga steep incline and you need extra power to climb.

They did not change anything per the SA and i can already hear it starting to come out once again. I'm thinking of going to another CASA when i have the time to consult them too (maybe Toyota Makati).

Thermalyte is the brighter silver.

*hops, you use 3 normally when you're in need of more control of the car (slight engine braking, more immediate power in). I usually use D3 when i'm driving on twisty two laners (i.e. Kennon Road) or I'm on thick but fast moving traffic on the highway. D2 when you're climbing or descending inclines or if i'm preparing to pass another vehicle on tight traffic on a two lane highway, 1 when you're climbing or descending really steep inclines.

Thanks for the update vinj. By the way, my story on the "tok" sound is from Toyota Makati. They replaced a bolt and a rubber bushing, but after a couple of weeks, the "tok" is back.

Erk... back to the drawing board. That saved me time though...

I really don't think casa put much effort when it comes to troubleshooting like this. I once had a noise coming from the brake pedal and the last words that my SA said about it were, "gamitin mo nalang sir.." Still the noise was there. So from that day, I never resort to casa anymore when it comes to isolated cases..

Other than D, I only use 2 when it's traffic and dikitan.. :D

I have the same sentiments. It seems i understand the problem more then they do since i know what part exactly is already making the noise (basically it's with the caliper pin since greasing it before would remove the noise for a few days). I'm just resorting to the CASA since the car is under warranty and they should fix it free of charge; otherwise i really am going elsewhere.

It's always the case for a typical car owner who pays attention to his/her car. As we spend a good deal of time using the car, we get to know the normal sound and get alerted to unusual ones. It takes experience for technicians to know what the problem is, especially when that problem is not prevalent to a specific model. Talagang walang choice kundi magtanong sa iba't ibang casa or mechanic to get the best possible assessment and recommended fix. Analyzing the answer an SA or a mechanic will usually give us a good indication of whether they know the problem or not.

Ano ang problem sa a/t kapag going reverse ka paakyat sa inclined road, bumababa ka pa rin kahit nasa reverse yung gear? Kasi kahapon paatras ako, tpos pababa yung daan, tapos i was expecting na since a/t di siya bababa pag nasa R (while not yet stepping on the gas) e bumababa pa rin.

Common sense yan bro hehe

What i noticed with the Toyota CASA I've gone to was that they're not really into test drives for service issues; probably due to the volume of work they have. With Nissan before, when we had a particular problem that came out under particular circumstances, they would test drive the car immediately with the owner on board to point it out. In the case of our Patrol, they even asked for permission to take it out on NLEX so they could safely test for a noise that was coming out while running at speed. It was the same case with Citimotors and our Galant VR many, many years ago which had vibration at speeds over 160kph; i remember the Japanese engineer of Mitsu test driving the car just to ascertain the problem.

*hops, normal lang yan.

Bakit common sense?

If they can dismiss a client's concern faster, they would do so. I again realized and experienced that just last saturday when I inquired something at Toyota Marikina. The SA wasn't even trying to feign interest while trying to be polite.
