Hey chaps

Just about to click over to the mighty 80,000kms on my 2011 kxs can anyone tell me the oil weight from factory, the part numbers for the plugs,petrol,oil filter

Thanks in advance !!

hey got a samsung s3 the new jobbie and picked up the 2010 kluger yesti for the life of me the bluetooth wont work on the factory head unit got to the point where it would recieve a call and i can hear the person but they cant hear me

do u have to set up the car microphone or something first? anywhoo any help would be great

yep got the 7 seat version as thats what iam after

yep 33 driveaway so 31.5 on car yep trans,stamp,and 3 months

yeh so far iam happy with what ive got definately meets the requirements without having to go to a full prado or cruiser brilliant inbetween car

whats the rough cost on the major service ( 40,000kms) and what are the replaced items?

Call a dealer bud.

major service on the 40.000kms is 400 ish and just involves filters air,oil,fuel and if its awd would involve diff oil ( apparently) plugs dont get done till 100,000kms

well gents braught it yep the late 10 has the facelift and the split in the 7 seat option other than that i think thats it

seen at least 20 up close and personal and did the walk around at least 30 this past 3 days

got it for 33 driveaway stamp and fees were 1500 ish

if anyones intrested the 7 seat option is $3595 and cant be fitted from toyota after has to be a build option ( aparently)

so its basically a sold and traded 10 model with 11 first reg , cloth,7seats,towbar,spot on history and in the pearl white brillant car to drive and super smooth and still have the warranty so quite happy so far

hey went to look at said car and many 10 models all had same grill dont know what ur reffering to bud?

whats the rough cost on the major service ( 40,000kms) and what are the replaced items?

• yep i se ur point iam going for a shot at a reduced price , id never pay ticket price going to go in with a crack at 32k top price if this is the one.
  

whats the 7 seat option worth?

is factory 7 seat option better than an aftermarket install?

can the 2 dicky seats be braught from toyota after how much?

Hi king jackass hey buddy how that name came about :P ha ha, mate the second generation kluger which came out july07 to late 2010, then the face a lift came out in the end of 2010, there was only a few changes in the face lift model , they changed the headlights and taillights which now are led, the 3rd row is split folded, kxr and grande got new look wheels, there only a few changes in the interior, different head unit and the leather interior on the kxs and grande has perforated leather , apart from that there pretty much the same car.

now things that replaced over the life of kluger, midway through 2008 they replaced the rubber oil line with a metal one which is better, they also did a recall on the models before fitted with rubber hose , but unfortunally they were only replaced with another rubber one,they also have had dramas with the intermediate shaft that would clunk when turning, but the shaft was replaced under warranty, there also have been a few with a whine in gearbox, apart from that there hasnt been to many problems, dont let the problems I have mention put you off buying one there pretty reliable and the problems are only on a very small number of klugers,there is three different trim levels kxr,kxs,grande, the kxr is the base model which has cloth trim 17inch alloys, kxs has 19inch alloy wheels leather interior 7seater,7seater is a option on the kxr,grande has all the bells and whistles 19 inch wheels, satnav,pushbutton start, auto tailgate lifter, sunroof, woodgrain trim, dvd screen in the back.

Now for your other question whats the best model for the money, for$ 35000 I would buy a late 2008,2009 with metal vvti oil pipe, awd kxs,my kluger is only 2wd, but If I had my time over again I would buy awd, sometimes a bit more tration would be nice, if you dont need awd you might be able to pick one with less kms and little bit newer, you could even pick up a face lift model 2wd kxr, to be honest the kxr have all the features that most people want, but the onlyway to find out which grade of trim you like or need is go and have a look at a few, but in genral there a great cars , there powerfull and comfortable and offer excellent economy for a v6 2 ton wagon

cheers for the promt response my name will make sence sooner or later, i get around on the forums lol

thanks for the info much appreciated, the issue is i really dislike the woodgrain and love cloth so it makes the choice a bit easier on the options list.

it sounds like the kluger is a very reliable car and has excellent value for money

really liking the newer face lift model, after a 7 seater and under 100kms if possiable is there a big service due at 100,000kms? on the kluger series?
