Bought 2015 Altis 1.6 Super ECT Automatic

[mehboob89]

Hello Pakwheelers,

Last week I bought 2015 Altis 1.6 Super ECT Automatic and so far I have done these

1- Changed Engine Oil to 5W30 (Toyota Dealership)
2- Flushed the Engine
3- Replaced Air, Ac and Oil Filter
4- Changed Auto transmission Oil, Gear Oil Filter and gasket (Toyota Dealership)
5- Flushed and refill the coolant
6- Fuel injector cleaner

Going to change the spark plugs and break pads and rear shocks very soon.

I was wonder what else I should be looking into to replaced/changed?

Everything was done at Toyota Dealership (very expensive thou).

It's ok at least you will have peace of mind, don't forget a good set of tyres and having the alignment plus wheel balancing done

Spark plugs genuine Toyota one’s for 3250/plug will last 80 to 100k kms.
Brake pads advics 90500 front set now Idea about rear one.
Make sure rotors are cleaned not any deformations pr lines if there is any get them surfaced before through new brake pads.
Did you get the radiator cleaned from outside(fins area) before changing coolant.
Yesterday my cousin bought 2016 corolla and we decided to get it cleaned from outside and guess what it went for 3 rounds of rinse with pressure on service station until water came cleaned. Before that AC was under performing.

What plugs are best for Altis 2015 1.6 automatic?

DENSO SC20HR11 or some othe plugs? It's recommended for 1ZR-FE engine type in Toyota Manual.

Also what kind of engine Altis 1.6 2015 has? How do I find out?

2NZ-FE or 1ZR-FE?

[engnr.mubashir]

2015 has a 1ZR FE which 1.6L 2NZ is 1300cc.
Sc20hr11 is best always choose originals as they can last upto 80 to 100,000 kms.

One question.

I only have 1 key with remote.

Does the car gets locked automatically while engine is running and nobody is inside? or the locking system only locks the car when someone is inside?

does the car gets locked even if engine isnt running? and What should I do if the key gets locked inside?

[capsat]

if key is inside the car in pocket or in ashtray or is in ignition vehicle will never lock itself. Unless there is botched electronics involved as in a tracker unit.

[mehboob89]

I am only worried at times when I take my car for a wash and the guys are cleaning the car from inside with key in ingition (windows rolled up - engine running)

would it lock itself?

[capsat]

which city you have a drive-by car wash system please share?
no it will not lock by herself

it is your car you can pull out key and leave car open for cleaning by the shop guys.

Please guide me with the best tyres for my Altis 1.6 2015

I have ZERO idea of tyres. I was reading Yokohama Advan dB are best?

Please guides me

195/R65 15 is the size

[mehboob89]

I am in Faisalabad Sir.

Few months ago, you helped me finding a part for my old Honda Accord. I got rid of that car and bought an Altis 1.6 2015

[capsat]

yokohama, dunlop

however my personal preference will be General Tyres which are installed as OEM wheels in Toyota Made by Indus.

[engnr.mubashir]

Advan dB are noisy not recommended from my side. Dunlop and Yokohama blue earth ES32 are good.

[mehboob89]

Is this a good quality fuel filter for Altis 1.6 2015? It's Xando company

[pwuser165176643628]

They are noisy?

[engnr.mubashir]

Yes noisy compare to ES32

[mehboob89]

No I am talking about the Xando Fuel Filter above in the picture. is this a good fuel filter for Altis 2015?

[pwuser165176643628]

Why not go for OEM?

[mehboob89]

The local shop I bought it from said, its a good quality. OEM/Geniune Toyota comes with pump and it was 14k. He charged 1100 for this fuel filter.

I saw on Pakwheels store the OEM one, for 1800pkr

I bought Altis myself recently. Absolutely stunning car! it is my second daily driver after Mazda MX5 which a got 2 years ago on abetter.bid. That is also a really stunning car!
