AoA brother,

Nice to hear from you. According to my information 2NZ FE does not have CVTi transmission gear box. So you can get simple ATF transmission oil for it.

I hope some one will re-verify what I have said.

Best of luck.

Just bought this Cabin Filter. Got it replaced myself. The method was easy. Thanks to murtaza_murti bhai and Mortal bhai.

JazakAllah for liking the thread bro.

For routine checkups and servicing I go to Toyota Capital Motors, Potohar Road, I -9, Islamabad. The supervisor, known as Mr. shah, is a good knowledgeable person. I do not buy parts from them as you know the 3S dealers are very expensive as compared to market. When you require a computerized tuning (which normally is not required) you can go to their headquaters in front of Agha shahi avenue.

For normal routine checkup and servicing like throttle body cleaning, plug change/cleaning, brake service, gear oil change etc potohar road point is a good place.

The bad thing about them is that they lack vitz parts like for example they had no gear oil container gas kit etc.

Do update me if you find some better place of you dear vitzo.

Best of luck,

The official genuine tire sizes of vitz are 185/60 R15, 165/70 R14 and 165/70 R14. These size are the best suited sizes but they do not give vitz a good ground clearance. As in Pakistan it is common to have big speed bumps many people go for 185/70 R14 or 195/60 R15.

But this 175/65 R15 is some thing new for me as far as vitz is concerned. I have never seen it deployed in vitz but this size should get fit into vitz without any trouble theoretically. I see no issue in using eurostar for temporary usage only if you are out of budget but remember! they are very low rated tires. They are hard and they are never recommended at any place. and putting them in a 4 x 4 vehicle is just like toeing an airplane with donkey If I be at you place, I would have tried to find some other tire like dunlop etc second hand which may fit in my budget. But still! You should get rid of your snow tires as fast as you can. If you have no budget whatsoever you can go for eurostar for few months. That will decrease your drive pleasure\comfort but still they are better than snow tires

Afterwards you can change your tires to some better option and size.

best of luck,
regards

MASHALLAH great choice drive safely.

thanks sohoaib , ok tell me which tyre size and brand u installed in ur vitz? and also suggest me any cheap and reasonable brand

Brother I am not very good at tires. I have only bought tires two times for my rides. I put a nato tire in my father's honda city and I replaced by cultus tires with bridgestone. The well known market tires are dunlop, bridgestone, machlein, good year, yokohoma etc but they are expensive. You can try to find some second hand piece from the kho of sultan.

Brother my vitz came with good year tires and I am using the same one till now. I will change them after damaging them to best extent

You can get the "good year" second hand tire in reasonable price. If you do not drive much they will be enough for you to pass at least 6 to 12 months.

Sir, all good tires are "good" for vitz You can go for yokohoma. Michilen is also a good option (Many people say it is bad for Pakistan, but I have seen it being used in Saudia. If it can work in saudia why not pakistan?) So you have many options. and dunlop to dunlop hay all time favourite. Jis marzi car main lagwa lain.

I do not know about tires much so you can post the question in tire guru thread. I have seen you getting good help in vitz fanclub too. Best of luck

Dear Gents,Today i have successfully removed the CAT(which is located on front side) from my ride, there is a very minor change in the sound, attaching pics for the reference;

thats about 300 USD worth of precious metals you just blew away.. Why are you guys gutting the cats, I drive a diesel car and have a cat in it, Diesel blows a lot of soot that can pack the cat solid BUT the cat is self cleaning, it heats up to a very high temperature effectivily igniting the soot again - I have seen it - at some times when I accelerate really hard (4000 rpm plus on a climb) and stop - you can sometimes see a puff of grayish smoke, that smoke was the soot being cleaned out.Your cars have cats on the manifold - the manifold gets extremely hot, so there is no way your cat would be blocked unless someone actually was feeding it raw petrol - that is the only thing that can kill and block the cat. Its a device that requires no maintenance...Cats were also in the old corollas, charades, sunnys etc brought in from Japan in the mid to late 90s - those cars still had them after a decade burning the local Pakistani fuel, And if it can survive diesel exhaust - what makes you think your chooha engine that already is burning clean is going to plug it up.

Dear vitz owners, i installed cold air intake, in vitz 2007 1300cc. The engine sound acted heavy. Acceleration was good !! Checked with my mates 1600cc vti and was almost same pace after 150 kph ! Went back to the normal intake, because engine became heavy on during city drive.
Now i think it was because of this CAT issue, which i wasnt aware of earlier !!!
Will the removal of CAT help solve this issue ? And will going back to intake after CAT remove be allrite ?

Also another question Please, recommend a good mechanic, technical stuff i can do maybe my self. For where do you guys change your CVT Trans Fluid ? I havent goten any problem with it, however just in case i want to empty it and check it and fill it with a good new CVT fluid.
Thankyou.

For reference here is my ride

hey Shoaib, I was going through the detailed info you are providing to everyone and I must say its great. I got a vitz in April 2012 and really loving the ride. Can you please send me the phone number of the agent since i need to get my car registered.

LoL. Good conclusion. Well it depends on him. The procedure is simple. I have PM you the number of an agent. The one who registered my vitz. I gave him complete money in advance. He gave me my registration recipt the same day in evening. Just give him a call. Rest will be his problem

best of luck,

Dear Xulfiqar,
AOA,

Its the decision you have to take :S, There is a difference in the pick of the car, not much though,
If i had to do this all over again, i may not opt to remove the CAT......

[hayats]

Salaam Everyone,

Since a lot of useful information is available under this thread so I thought of adding the maintenance manual here for the consumption of Vitz owners. I downloaded it from the Toyota company website. BTW I tried to upload the original pdf but that format is not supported so I converted it in jpg format.

Hayat
