  1. This is usual in the Toyota CVT box. Nothing unusual. Enjoy your ride, remember to change the oils at the correct interval. Specially CVT. If your previous owner has forgotten or does not has any records, better to change CVT now and start a record.
  2. This is typical behavior of this CVT box. Do not worry.
  3. Sharing my two cents here. The oil sludge in your engine has to be looked at carefully with professional advice. There are ways to clean, but an expert should evaluate before doing anything. Otherwise the situation will escalate. For the engine pinging, sharing something which I have gone through and corrected practically. There is a pre ignition knock (specially when applying load under slow speeds) observable. Usually a naka naka naka type of sound. And when you go up in speed and gears it goes away. This happens due to carbon deposits in piston crown and the some carbon particles becoming red hot. These red hot particles ignite the petrol vapor out of timing of the park plug. Result is pinging. There are many methods to get rid of this, and applies on how much of carbon you have. One of the easy way is to use a fuel system cleaner product, which is poured to the petrol tank. After treating with this for few times, some engines do come out of this. But you may use 95 Octane after that as lengthy use of RON 90 (where the engine is designed for RON 92 or above), any few other factors create this situation. Have some thought on this and you may find some practices done by few people around the globe regarding the same issue. I did not mention the specific product which I did use. If you need can mention as well.
  4. Yes, I had fun too, when I tell this Push Start freaks, that many Military Tanks, rough land vehicles, some steam rollers, locomotives has the same "feature" they brag for ages.........I can see jaw drops...........
  5. Boiled water has more mineral deposits. Concentration is higher. Always use distilled water.

    Chip In Tire

    This damage is risky. Highway and fast driving is a big no no. Consider replacing two tyers and put the new ones in the back (best practice, new tyers in back as Under steer is easy to correct than your tail goes for a spin).
  7. That is not coal. I am also looking for coal for some time, did not find.
  8. Hi, does this sound come from the engine bay only. Because the same type of sound comes when the small Air Filter of the Fuel cap get clogged. Simple way to check is, to losen the Fuel cap a bit to make sure air is drawn through the opening. Let me know the details, have sorted this issue.
  9. Super article and real value. Thank you and appreciate your effort.............
  10. I saw a Benz Van in Singapore with 700,000 on it. Once our company had a Toyota HIACE with over 500,000 and had no major repair until then. A transmission problem developed later, but soon fixed. The machine was well maintained by the company with regular services from TOYOTA.
  11. Use kerosene or tar and bug remover. Please note that this will strip off your wax coating. Hence you must wax it back.
  12. It is not only for Allion, any car having a 1NZ-FE with VVTi or engines with dual VVTi all have chains and self adjusting tensioners. And the chain is lubricated by a jet of oil. Hmmm you can safely say the chain will be good for a long time, I never said till eternity.
