Toyota Vitz Owners/Fan Club

[SER_GTR]

for past two days my Vitz 2010 has been giving me wierd electrical problem, the internal meter lights flicker, it leads to power steering getting hard and at times stereo resets, this all happen on either idle or on low rpm, the moment i press the accelerator it is fine, i have gotten the alternator checked its fine, the battery is new (dry battery, three months old) and fine. I think it is some grounding issue due to recent rains, can someone guide me on how to fix this problem?

Check For Grounding Or Voltage Drop With DMM

Just Go to a good Electrician. Check for Loose Battery Terminals, Alternator or Battery Health..

@capsat & @tahir.hashmi Thank you very much. One last thing, please specify which method they applied for cvt oil change and would that 4L cvt oil tin from Toyota would be enough?

[capsat]

method ? if you want to use the pump drain procedure you will be needing approx 7 ~ 9 liters.

the transmission fluid line to radiator will be disconnected to a clear fluid container and car be allowed to idle while new transmission fluid is poured-in, after approx 7 liters keep watchful eye as fresh fluid starts to appear in container stop the engine reconnect the cooling line.check fluid level after 15 minutes and topup if necessary

The conventional way is using drain bolt to drain , opening sump later to de-gunk the filter in de-greaser and reseat & top up with 3.75 liters will suffice

He was asking about whether or not to remove sump. In my case sump was removed, thoroughly cleaned and installed back with a new seal.

@tahir.hashmi thank you. However, did that mechanic changed the gasket for the chamber and also replaced the O ring which has been told in another thread on the pak wheels or not?

Baqai is Right. Its a minor issue. Get ur Belt tightened by a good mechanic. He might grease it as well. The sound will go off InshAllah.

I think seal and gasket are the same thing. Seal was changed. I don't think any o-rings were changed.

Edit: Oh **** i just read you have already spend 70k on the car, wish you had posted this before spending, i think your mechanic might be taking you for a ride (making a kaddu out of you, if you know what i am saying)

If there are cracks on the belt i would advise you to get it changed as it is the main element driving everything in your car, the price difference between original and local is HUGE, original one is for 4500 while the local/china/desi is for 400 ... yes you read that right 4k vs 400 lol

Normally after rains this chir chir noise is common with greesing it should go away but get it checked, don't get the whole car apart for that sound because source of that sound is the belt nothing else

Drive belts are friction driven item greasing them is very bad idea

to be honest that didn't occurred to me thanks for pointing out the mistake

thx seniors

  today spent two hours again on the belt and that barrring told by eric in video i posted

yes he might making kaddu
but i wanna solve this problem thats why spent that much
cuz this cars sentimental value is more than its market value
and yesterday i parked out side in the street cuz i came late, lost two side mirrors today morning , someone might be more needy

and i won't stop till i make it again soundless super car like b4
