i reckon this would be a very helpful thread for people who have servicings are coming up. Like me :D

Anyways...

When did you guys do your 1,000km service?

(eg: 800km, 1,00km, exactly on 1,000km)

What 'extra' services did you choose?

(eg: rotate, balance, alignment, oil change, oil filter)

If you did choose any 'extra' services, how much did it cost ya?

just checked the servicings..and all they do is check the brake stuff.

nothing else. :angry:

no oil change..nothing. :angry:

wow... :huh:

what about all the metal filings that the engine produces during running in? :(

hmm...i guess it stays in there until your 10,000km service.

anyways....i'll be doing my 5,000km service anyways..

once i reach 10,000km i will be putting synthetic (good stuff) oil. and then i won't be doing anymore 5,000km services after that.

takes so bloody long! <_<

i didnt ask for a discount they just saw me wearing the company logo on my shirt.

so the lesson is to buy a long sleeve business shirt and write on a logo of different companys unitl u find the one with a fleet discount :lol:

I got my service done at 1000k's, cost me $52 bucks for oil and filter change. Next service at 5000k's cost me $110 for oil and service plus other stuff that had to be fixed. Next service at 10000k's is suppose to be $185, but ill change the oil and filter myself and take the car in at 15000 k's to get the stupid stamp saying it got serviced for future selling references. So technically i am servicing the car every 5000k' but only taking the car in to the garage every 10000. The beauty is we dont have timing belts to change as the cam's are chain driven hence the tractor sound of the engine when idiling. At 100,000k's they would have been fairly expensive to change i presume.

sharmz: it's the only one i got at the moment..i'll take a better picture without so much reflection and glare. Thanx though ;)

xhibita: You DO NOT have to service them every 5,000km. But if you're padantic and really really love your car..then you probably would.

By the book, only 10,000km is necessary.

I'll be doing the servicings every 5,000km.

I also do a balance, rotation and alignment every 5,000km.

this explains why my tyres have so much rubber compared to other people who never do the balance, rotation and alignment and i trashed it heaps too (this is my 2002 levin)

sure, it cost me a little bit..but my tires last ages..and it's piece of mind.

I got my 1000k service done at 1200k because Penrith Toyota were booked out.

My service was free because nothing was wrong except for an adjustment to the hand brake.

Dealer servicing is a COMPLETE !! RIP OFF !!!... Have a look at the Labour rate they charge for their Mechanics... Wish I could earn that sort of money...

There is no rocket science to changing your own oil... As Lucio said you can get the genuine 10/30w SG VVTi Oil and a filter for around $ 50...

Dont forget you guys have a High Performance engine so treat it as such... 5000k oil changes are a must !!! As for the 10k services... Find a good local guy... Stuff the bloody dealer...

Exec6speed: would you recommend synthetic at the first service (1,000km)

I've heard the dealers say that it's better to use synthetic AFTER 10,000km.

(i'll the one of those doing the 5,000km services anyways)

but...synthetic every 5,000km. a little costly, but..once again..peace of mind.

What do you guys think? Recommend?

be that as it may man, its possible that certain ppl may need to go back to dealerships for service esp if it has to do with their warranty deal (or should i say extended warranty)terms and conditions yeah?

Standard warranty, 3 year, dealer extended if I get them to service it, extra 4 years, thats a 7 year warranty with like 300,000 Ks, I would be a fool to not do it.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
