    Toyota Vitz KSP130 unusual whistle sound when accelerating

    in Mechanical problems

    Posted

    Hi All,
    My Toyota Vitz KSP130 2015 (YOM) gives an unusual whistle sound when I accelerate. This does not happen always. This happens when I drive for sometime long (2 - 3 hours) continuously or when I drive in the hill country or when on S (Sports) mode. I suspect it's happening when I'm on a low gear or when I accelerate fast. When it starts to come, as I accelerate the whistle sound goes up and when I take off my foot from the pedals it stops.   
    When I'm on S (Sports) mode a burning smell also comes. I don't know these two are related. This is really annoying and need your expert opinion to resolve this.
    TIA.
     
    Cheers

    Is that sound similars to the small toy car racing sound(wine sound-don't know the english definition of wine,වයින්) ?
    And is that sound increasing when we accelarte,and decreasing when take off the foot?
    And decreasing sound like when we race a toy car, get it into the hands and the sound from that.
    Am i correct?

    Which octane suitable for car?

    What is your car

    Manufacturer ?

    Model?

    Manufactured year?

    The information you have added shown in many global car models and can be applicable where ethanol fuel 9 is available. However you should have similar text for petrol octane rating in same page or earlier or next page

    Toyota vitz ksp130 2016...there's nothing about octane value in near pages

    What petrol type for Swift & Vitz

    in General

    Posted

    To say it in an uncomplicated way higher octane for turbocharged engines. So 95 for the swift since it has a turbo. The vitz will be fine with 92. 
    How can you get to know? Refer the user manual.
    This is from my vitz manual.what is this,what can we get from this?
    "Ethanol mixing ratio of 10% or less, or gasoline oxygen content rate of 37% or less with ETBE mixing ratio of 22% or less) can be used."

    "Ethanol mixing ratio exceeding 10%, ETBE mixing ratio exceeding 22%"

    "Ethanol mixing ratio exceeding 10%, ETBE mixing ratio exceeding 22%"

     

    This is copied from my car manual.This is under "fuel".

    Can anyone explain what is this?Is there something about suitbale octane value?

    It probably says ETC cardo wa haittimasen" ETC card is not inside. It is an alarm from the ETC reader/unit. Depending on the ETC reader/unit type it can come from the device itself or the stereo or the speaker where all the dings and the dongs would emit from (depending on the car).
    As for the sun goes down...most systems (especially cars like a Vitz) it is something that is linked with the NAVI/Audio system of the car. It doesn't actually detect day/night time from the light sensor of the auto headlight system or anything. Just goes by the time on the NAVI/Audio system. with NAVI based systems the time and ambient conditions are received so the announcements are made based n that (also, systems like T-Connect can so things like this). On some audio systems there calendar and/or time settings which the announcement uses. So that might explain why you get notices to turn on and off your headlights at strange times (I am guess your's is a Navi based feature ?). Its interesting that those announcements are in English.
    I dont know what is 'Navi based feature'....
    In my vitz have nscp-w64 factory fitted audio system and im also interesting cuz that is in english[emoji39]

    As far as i know it is a device fitted to most of the Japanese cars for electronic toll collection in Japan. You have to insert a card and when the car goes under a toll automatically it cuts some $$ off the card. This device has nothing to do with SL so there is nothing to worry.
    Ohh..then other on "sun is down turn on your headlights".Do you know about this and where from this?

    I think what ETC xxxxxxxx means is that in Japan or any developed counties you have to pay for traveling on those roads, maybe [mention=51257]iRage[/mention] can confirm this. Even in Srilanka, in the highway exit there is a ETC exit for prepaid electronic toll cards . Lots of Japanese cars have this. Nothing to worry about. 
    No worries..[emoji43] ..i want to know more about that feature? Is there any other voice commands..?cuz 2nd one is in english that i heard.

    How Pre collision system works?

    in General

    Posted

    Hmm does it also check the rear and sides before deciding to abruptly stop? In our driving style it could lead to an accident from rear end since not all vehicles equipped with it.
    Mmm yes.that time is very lucky for me..no vehicle from rear side.but if have it might hit my car..thats the problem

    By cracking nose are you talking about thuds, thumping and grinding noises ? If so it could be the ABS.
    In some PCS the system does not entirely turn off. The turn-off is mostly intended for driving in heavy bumper to bumper traffic if needed because the system would be sending the driver bonkers (although it still would be needed). So although you turned it off the system does run in a passive mode. My guess is that your speed and the proximity of the crossing vehicle triggered the system to react (as it crossed safety parameters). The system would have applied the brakes hard which also would have triggered the ABS...so that could explain thumping, grinding noises (and even a weird pulse, vibration fro the brake pedal).
    @iRage yeah.Also there's slight vibration as u said.Thanks for the info mate [emoji7]

    I have vitz ksp130 safety edition car.Normally i drive without pre collision system (PCS).But when it get near to another car with 30+ speed there's a noise " beep beep beep " but no auto braking cuz pcs off.I think it is warning from PCS.

    But yesterday a car suddenly crosses the street when i was going about 60kmph.When that moment i heard one beep sound and suddenly stopped the car within 1 or 2 meters with huge cracking sound.

    My problem is what is the reason for it?PCS turned off surely at that moment.Is PCS works when its off? But with a sound like something stuck on the car? Normally when PCS on,the car will stop smoothly with beep sound in videos that i watched.Is there any fault with my car?[emoji15]

    Vitz 2016 KSP 130 non fog light model

    Having the same in mind. mine is also a 2016 Vitz with the same front.

    I think it's almost impossible to fit a fog light at yellow marked place. If a fog light is to be fitted there, it would come with the hole and we won't have to mess up trying something. Anyway, I am too wondering if there's anyway of making use of red marked place. ?

    I searched in the shops for a light that can fit to that hole,but.theres not.So now the hole is must (as irage said) we can stick led strip to that black frame.To me,front look like nudy when there are only head lamp.If i got a positive result i'll share it in here...?

    The red part is for airflow. The idea is the air is supposed to flow thorough it so that it makes the car a bit more aerodynamic as well as provide a bit of ventilation to the wheel well to cool down the brakes. Does blocking it effect it that much for a car that sits in traffic a whole load of time ? Your guess is as good as mine. But I would not block it...but that is my personal opinion.

    If you want to fit a fog lamp to the yellow circled area then you need to buy the entire black piece which has the fog light holes in it. you might be able to find one at a second hand body parts shop. 

    Thanks for the info

    Recently i bought vitz 2016 model.By the way there is no fog light hole

    Normally some models have fog light in the yellow marked area,but i think its hard to fit fog light to that place in my vehicle.

    Can i fit a drl or led strip to red marked place? I want to know that hole is for what,to fit a light or for the beauty? 

    Thanks.
