only because we love this car (Had no problem in the past interior still looks new except the technology) and I thought of spending max 4-5K instead of 15K-25K for a new car.Probably i will go for a leather seat cover instead of all new leather seat(Cheaper option).I have seen some DVD models on ebay but i don't know the built quality of those item and that's why i need some help from people already did this changes on their vehicle. Kind Regards

Hi All, Anyone ever experienced a rattling noise from the rear DVD player in grande,i have had this problem for last 8 months and reported to the dealer and even after several attempt they could not fix the actual issue. I took my vehicle 7 times already to the dealer and they changed few parts as directed by Toyota representative, but the problem still persists. In our last conversation dealer mentioned that they will not be getting any more assistance from Toyota in this particular case as they have already done what they can do with the vehicle and the noise which is left behind is absolute normal in all their grande model.(They said roof liners are flexible and the DVD will rattle if it goes over a bump as the DVS are not fixed rigidly in any of their cars.-I am totally surprised with this answer from a representative of a reputed car manufacturer like Toyota).In my view they did not fix the DVD rigidly to the roof as I can hear the noise when i press the rear corners of the fixing panel. This makes a cracking noise and I cannot feel it from the front corners as they are fixed rigidly. So some kind of unusual fixing for this DVD panel to the roof. Unbalanced fixing to the roof causes the DVD panel to produce a rattle noise each time goes past bumps or on a rough road. Could someone advise me whether it’s normal to all Grande? Cheers

What aren't you happy with in your new Kluger?
Ratheesh Kumar replied to leighthebee's topic in Kluger Club
Hi Rig, You did right thing by selecting Kluger and they are fantastic machines with confort and fule economy.I was getting 8.2L/100 KM when i purchased my AWD grande and after 6 month service it changed to 8.6 Ltr/100 on highway and 13.5 Ltr/100 on town. But not too bad.Really love my car. Cheers mate -
The tech from Toyota dealser said me today that the alarm sytem with all toyota vehicles don't have the capability to make panic alarm ifsome one touches the vihicle or door handle,but does have a switch on key to make others panic if they appears to approach your vehicle for different purposes.Also told me i can buy an aftermarket system to add this as an additional feature to the current security system for my Grande.Have any one heard this before,the alarm system that toyota gave you is not for useBut engine immobilizer will work when they try to start our vehicle.(Means any one can open the door with out any noise). Cheers

Cheers

I tried 32,34,36,38 and 40PSI on my Kluger Grande and i like to drive with 40Psi when the tank is 30-100% full.The ride is too comfortable and handling is really good.But when low on fuel,i felt a bit bumby even during a city ride.

6 month service-Fuel consumption increase
Ratheesh Kumar replied to Ratheesh Kumar's topic in Kluger Club
Sorry for confusing you, they changed it with same type of oil(Genuine oil) that Toyota normally use on new kluger. -
Hi , I 've done 6 month service on my kluger at (3000KM) and soon after service i noticed the fuel consumption has raised from 12.6L/100 Km to 15.8L/100 Km in town.I contacted service agent as they changed oil during service with same oil and also to fix a noise coming from top head DVD unit.So they checked it again cleaned airfilters ,checked softwares and could not find any reason.Further they want my vehicle for 2 days to diagonise the noise issue and they want to remove top panel one by one to find the exact cause. Did any one faced this before with your first service and the noise from head unit. Please give some advise.

Kluger-Front and Rear parking Sensors
Ratheesh Kumar replied to Ratheesh Kumar's topic in Kluger Club
i need a rough idea,how it can be done .... -
Can any one tell me how much it cost to install front and rear parking sensors for new kluger through Toyota.
-
you r right.....also ECB has provided life time warranty on this product and factory one have warranty that last up to vehicle warranty(3 years).
-
not the entire bumber, only the frill to get the supports bolted to actual body,But no one will notice it and also the nudge bars will stay for ever as all other fittings on car .The genuine ones are so close to the body and is designed to provide pedestrian safety not actual car safety. It won't provide the same protection as other nudge bars on market.(This is only my opinion).I have compared both installations and decided to go for Nudge bar especially we live here in alice springs(NT).
-
I have installed new ECB nudge bar on my kluger through TJM,it looks so solid and very nice than the toyota one.see the pictures
-
check www.carid.com for aftermarket side steps...they sell it to aus,probably will cost the same price as the product for postage. cheers

I have installed all th seven seat covers for my kluger and they are the exact fit to factory seats.Only thing is bit slippery over leather seat because of the cushioned pad on seat cover.No velcro to fix, only cloth straps which is very difficult to fit under the seat especially through electrical cables.But they are really a worth if someone want to protect leather seats.I brought it from motoequip site for $175(normal price$199). Pls.see the photos attached with this post..

Picked up our Kluger all good but no mats!
Ratheesh Kumar replied to Toyota4Eva's topic in Kluger Club
Hi friends ,when i took my grande in march 2012 the dealer did n't deliver any of the floor mats and dash mats.Instead they gave a temporary rav4 mat.when i enquired they said the mats are not available but will get u soon.after one week they rang me a provided all rubber floor mats ,cargo mat and a dash mat along with some free stuffs such as toyota tee shirt,toyota cap and a wash card.So please talk to them regularly since the feed back which you provide on sales is of importance to them..... anyway enjoy new kluger....wish you a nice time ahead... cheers
