[SIZE=2]ask ko lang to all innova owners. sino na ang may pinakamataas na mileage? and meron na bang nagpalit ng clutch lining? how many heater plugs meron ang diesel innovas?:rained_down:[/SIZE]

hello po mga sir, since rainy season na naman po, ask ko lang kung saan naka locate ang ecu ng innova diesel? Medyo napapasabak na po kasi yung innova namin sa baha..

Any tips on going through floods using the innova? things to watch out for or check after going through a flood?

thanks po!

[Mile2]

Since parati mong pinapaandar yan sa baha:

Check your fuel tank for possible leaks, crack or deformation. the frontal impact protector of the fuel tank acts like a lever that somehow exert force on the fronting fuel tank strap. Pag may nakita kang kupi sa may gitnang unahang bahagi ng tanke sa may unahang metal strap bracket, ibig sabihin niyan napupuwersa yung frontal protector ng gas tank. Eventually magkakaroon na yan ng crack. Imagine mo habang umaandar ka sa baha at yung frontal fuel tank protector mo ay nagsisilbing hydrofoil, yung puwersa ng baha may tendency na ibaluktot pababa yung fuel tank mismo at ang bending point ay yung lugar ng frontal metal strap..

Check also your differential oils and transmission oil, and brakes.

Hello po sa lahat! Sorry for this somewhat silly question...Tanong ko lang po kung meron ngang "No plate No Travel" policy ang LTO or TMG? Two weeks ng nailabas ng company namin yung bago kong personal service, Black Innova G AT diesel...I get excited as days went by waiting for the issuance of plate number para magamit ko na yung unit.

Yes they do have a policy and they are stricter nowadays. What you can do is to ask the dealership to issue several dated invoices while waiting for the plate to be released. It is against the law but it it their common practice. Otherwise, you will have to wait till your plate gets released. I am sure you will enjoy your Innnova V diesel variant. I am enjoying mine which is just a G model except for the choking problem that I had before. Hopefully, it does not happen again

magandang araw po mga masters...

bago lang po ako dito sa tsikot, kakabili ko lang po ng 2nd hand na innova diesel. since wala po ako alam sa mga cars and since first time ko po magka sasakyan, umaasa lang po ako dun sa manual tungkol sa mga dapat gawin at kung ano mga gagamitin (coolant,engine oil, steering oil etc.).

tanong ko po kung ok lang gumamit ng iba aside from those recommended in the manual (toyota genuine motor oil, toyota super long life coolant, etc)? anong mga brands naman po yung ok na alternative na nasubukan nyo na? tsaka kung may pwede pa po kayo share na importante at wala sa manual. hehehe

pasensya sa na po sa mga tanong ko, medyo pang noob. hehehe

maraming salamat na rin in advance dun sa mga sasagot...

Release is case to case depending on your dealer and LTO office. You can only use the car 7 days from release. I am most surprised your SA did not brief you on this and you are not aware of it

Innova's ECU is located under the dash underneath the glove compartment.
