Makhdoom's - Altis Grande CVT-i May 2016 (Upgraded)

[m.usmananwar]

Can you please share comparison of Grande and Civic with regards to ground clearance?

[hamza_xeg]

Grande has more ground clearance then civic. You can tell that by looking at both cars.

[FarhanAnwarKhan]

civic is higher then grande..I own both so I can firmly say civic is higher

[FarhanAnwarKhan]

civic has a wider wheel base making is stay higher in turns and edges while taking sharp steep turns...where my grande scraps my civic doesnt...

Wow I love all the upgrades on your car just wanted to ask something my 2015 grande has done 14000 kms I have been using toyota's talgon 5w50 fully synthetic since last 3 oil changes now as warranty has ended I want to pour some German stuff like liqui moly should I pour liqui moly 5w50 or 5w40 with ceratec I am more inclined towards 5w40 what you say about this?

I am using LM 5w40 and am satisfied with this oil. So i would recommend that

Almost same , or difference of 0.5-1 km / litre

I think civic suspension is hard and it does not go down pn bumps. But corolla on other hand is bumpy so when ever u hit a bump , uski suspenson jump khati hai and lagti ha nechy

So Alhumdulillah after hitting 35k kms on my odo meter i went for
- Brake servie
- Brake pads change
- Brake oil change
- CVT oil change

old front brake pads were only 5% left and were almost flat
old rear brake pads were almost 20% left (so i changed them as i was changing front)

Front brake pads were bought from open market (japenese version green ones) costed around 6k
rear brake pads were bought from toyota (japanese ones) costed 7.2k
CVT oil costed around 6.2k
brake fluid costed around 1.4k

All work was done from toyota with full satisfaction.

Alhumdulillah now brakes have become solid and the CVT ratio shifting have become more seemless.
Will be posting pics soon

Hello Bro , the dealershop was toyota royal motors RYK. I booked car from them and we have old connections and friendship with them too.
they had no problems with installing brake disc which i bough because they were originals:P

So they discounted me on labor and they took only 2000 for labor , brake service, cvt change and brake fluid change

[makhdoom123]

Wah MashAllah.

Itni jaldi for 2016 model?

Yes Bro , many long routes from RYK to ISB. Almost 5-6 both ways , 2300-2500 kms each

[Thinking]

great.

[makhdoom123]

Front brake pads after 35000 kms. Almost gone and need replacement.

A picture of original set of rear and front pads is also attached for future reference

Brake oil
CVT oil

Did you had the complete oil brake fluid flushed out or just refilled with the new one?
What about the coolant level? Did you need to top it up during these 35k kms? My Altis 1.8 has run only 6500 kms and coolant level is midway between the max and the low levels.

brake oil is drained from all 4 brake calipers , and refilled from above , that way its made sure no air particle comes into the brake oil which can harm the brakes. At this milage no flushing is required .

Yes i added the coolant some time before as its level came down. Toyota genuine
