Hi,

 

Anybody here experienced having a totally flat battery (can't even crank) or have their car battery removed without any backup power supply when the engine is off?

 

I'm wondering how a momentary removal of the 12V car battery might affect the immobilizer systems on Toyota cars. I personally own a 2015 Wish and I'm toying with the idea of changing the 12V battery by myself one of these days. I am not comfortable seeing those dial-a-battery services and workshops do battery changes while the car engine is still running - some quarters says that method it is bad for the electrical system overall and have a high risk of short-circuiting something if not careful.

 

Thank you.

Hi All, 

 

I am driving an Axio (2008 model) and realised that recently the pickup has got from bad to worse. I know la... its an old car already (COE expiring in OCT) but wondering if any of you have an idea what could be it.

 

Have partial thoughts of extending COE but for now if got a cheap'sh fix for this maybe i do it or tahan till close to COE and i decide if extending or gonna scrap. :)

To change with engine on is to take care the positive (+) go to positive so as for negative (-) . Nothing will go wrong. 

To change with engine off, do the same like above if battery already flat.

Not sure the condition of the Axio, if have taken care since day 1 with not so high milage done can consider to extend. 

But if already travel a lot doing Pte hire need to consider carefully.

Have 2 friends I know running pte hire with own car went on extend coe facing breakdowns here and there.

I just changed to a new ride even the last car was 7 years but faced so much breakdowns some repeating......

So look at what condition is your car if need get advise from reliable mechanic.

I am driving toyota wish 2017. When I am driving at about 80-100km/h and release the accelerator and accelerate again, I feel there is a slight jerk from the re-engagement of the gear. Do anyone experience the same thing? Thank you.

It's the Eco settings for the engine. Apparent, when you coast, one of the cylinders is turned off to save fuel. Turn off Eco setting to overwrite this feature.

The car I traded in was also Axio expiring Oct 2018. Silver. But mileage was 170K+.

 

It had worked well. Even a few thousand repairs is worth it I feel.

 

I needed more space though. And the engine cut off once or twice when I was at traffic lights, prompting me to switch to MPV.

Understand Toyota has a private sale on the 22nd.

 

Anyone knows what the deals will be like?

It’s on 23rd. I’ve received the invite. They didn’t release any deals to us except telling us the deals will only be known onsite.
