What is VVT-i?

2012-04-28T16:16:00.000-07:00

VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 24 December 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system. The Toyota motors CEO has been reported to have said, "VVT is the heart of every modern Toyota!"

VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result in improved engine efficiency.Variants of the system, including VVTL-i, Dual VVT-i, VVT-iE, and Valvematic, have followed.

Tyre Important Information

2011-04-19T08:18:00.000-07:00

Every tyre has a sidewall marking – such as 185/70 R14 80 T – which identifies its size and characteristics. These markings can be analysed as follows:

185 The width of the tyre in millimeters.

70 The aspect ratio – this is the ratio of the tyre’s width to its height or ‘sidewall’. A ’70 series’ tyre is a tyre whose height is equal to 70% of its width. Low profile tyres have shallow sidewalls and correspondingly low aspect ratings.

R This denotes the tyre’s construction type – in this case it’s a radial. An R rated tyre should not be driven above 170km/h (106mph). A V rated tyre, by contrast, is capable of speeds of up to 149mph.

14 The diameter of the wheel rim in inches

80 Load index – this represents the maximum load capacity of a tyre when it’s driven at maximum speed. A tyre with a Li of 80 can bear a maximum load of 450kg.

Toyota Salesman

Rule 1, Inspect your Toyota Avanza when deliver to you, do not sign the document of acceptance until you are satisfy the car is in order - air condition, power window etc.

Rule 2, You have to constantly call the Salesman when your Toyot Avanza will be deliver the car, sometimes the Salesman might be playing dirty by giving the car to those who willing to offer under table money.

Rule 3, Do not get the Salesman service to install Toyota Avanza accessories, normally it will more expensive then you get it by yourself.

Rule 5, lastly, the survey form on your Salesman from UMW Toyota, please fill them up and send back to UMW Toyota in order for UMW Toyota to improve their services further.

Toyota Avanza Logo Theft

2011-03-30T09:01:00.001-07:00

I was a victim of the recent accident which my Toyota Avanza logo was stolen. I went around in KL to search for the Toyota logo, everywhere is out of stock!, at last I got it from shop in Kepong that sells the Toyota Avanza logo, but I suspected these Toyota Avanza logos on sale by the shop are stollen items but I have not choice but to purchase the logo to save guard my car or else the bonet can be open easily.

I have try myself to figure out how easy to remove the logo, it only takes less than 5 minutes. My advice to those Toyota Avanza owners out there, do be extra caution, maybe for a start, apply super glue at Toyota Avanza logo to prevent from been stollen.

This Toyota Avanza Logo Theft has become rampant.

Toyota Avanza

2011-03-29T08:33:00.000-07:00

The Toyota Avanza (Daihatsu Xenia build on the same platform ) is a mini MPV designed and produced in Indonesia and also assembled in Malaysia[citation needed], with supervision from Toyota, who also sells the car under their Daihatsu brand. The car was launched at the Gaikindo Auto Expo in 2003 and sold over 100,000 units that year. The name "Avanza" was taken from the Italian word avanzato, which means "advance".

The Avanza is a new model developed as a low premier MPV to split the Toyota Kijang to two different models; the other being the Toyota Innova, which is of higher-spec and aimed at a higher market.

In addition to Indonesia and Malaysia, the Avanza is sold in Brunei, Bangladesh, Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Mexico (the only North American country to sell it, although the unrelated and similar Scion xB is sold in the United States and Canada) and China.
