Yung projectors ko was sourced out in China. my is lighting set-up is Quad Bi-xenon projectors. headlight at fogs. I have installed on several Innova's as well. pm for pricing.

Hi Sir Ginnova! With regard the projectors, do you specialize instalations on innova units only or pwede rin ibang makes and models? TIA!

^baka cause ng knocking ay gasoline or station na pinapakargahan. Try nyo lang pong magpalit ng gas station or ng brand na kinakarga pag naayos na po yung sasakyan nyo. May experience kasi ako dati although sa ibang sasakyan na pag shell unleaded ang nilalagay ko, ang lakas ng tope or ng knocking sound. Pero pag caltex silver o kaya petron xtra unleaded e walang tope.

Ibig ba nilang sabihin ay natanggal sa position ang isa or dalawang rocker arm? Shimless ang VVTI ng Innova kaya misan nadi-dislodge talaga yung rocker arm. I have experienced this when I used very thin synthetic oil, ginawa lang sa Shell station ng less than an hour, re positioned rocker arms and tightened back the bolts on overhead cam shaft and off I go. From then on, palagi ko ng sinisilip yung rocker arms every 6 months by removing the valve cover.

If this is the case with your car, my worries was your mechanic, was now having problem with timing. Or worst your overhead cam shaft is really faulty.

Did they do OBD-II scanning before?

they did not do a obd-II scanning..
mechanic said that if there was no damage to the piston the only thing they would need to do is reset/reconfigure something which would cost 9500 minimum.

Hi! innova owners,

I'm planning to buy a unit and I'm making a choice between innova or alterra. Although i thought that both vehicle are reliable and efficient.

My question is what is the fuel consumption of the innova, regards with the 2.5dsl manual?

I also want to share with you, about rocker arm. kung tungkol po sa pagkasira ng rocker arm sa, timing po problema yan that is according to my experienced. thanks!

I finally found why outside smoke (smell) is entering the cabin through the aircon. It is coming in through the passenger aircon (2nd and 3rd row). I tested this by just turning on the main aircon at the front and leaving the back aircon off (2nd and 3rd row).

Anybody experience this ? Esp. G or V owners. I think most owners don't use the back aircon that's why they don't notice this.
