Anybody experienced this: I use a 06 Super Grandia, daily driven within QC, always on full tank and changes oil every 5000kms. Current milage is 50,000kms. Recently, while in idle (waiting for my kids at school with engine and air-con on), the rpm jolts up and downward from the idle rpm of 8-1k rpm. Sometimes tulyuan ng mamamatay yung makina. Then have to restart the engine. Minsan naman pag matagal ang traffic dahil hindi gumagalaw, pag tapak sa gas, instead of an acceleration reaction, you get a brake rxn (head & body moves forward instead of backward). Sometimes, tuluyang mamamatay din.
According to casa, may problema daw sa suction control valve. But since they dont have parts, they referred me to a shop in Banawe that will charge me 8,800 for the parts + labor.
Thing is, tama ba yung findings or may iba pang problema? Any recommendations? Thanks!

Try and get the second opinion at a the recommended shop in Banawe or a diesel center such as Denso.

mukhang D4D problem to. engine stalling eh. pwedeng pwede na SCV (suction control valve) talaga ang may problema dito. back read ka na lang muna sa list of toyota D4D problems thread. kasi karamihang may tama jan is 05-08 models ng D4D. may shop silang nabasa ako dun na nilagay na nakapag[agawa sila ng mura.

Anybody selling his hubcaps for '11 hiace? natanggal yung isang hubcap ko sa NLEX while speeding, hindi na nahanap ng uncle ko

PM me guys.

Inquire at Toyota. Sometimes they're cheaper for parts like that over the Banawe and tire shops. If not, go around in Evangelista, Banawe, Timog and Cubao P. Tuazon.

We always remove our hubcaps when we go out on long trips up North. Crappy thing about Toyota; spend 1.5-1.6M for the van and all you get are hubcaps.
