hmm..i dun understand about the wheel bearing part?actually where does it locate at..but the owner told me,it have been change.

jacky i would like to ask you about this car fuel consumption..usually full tank how much,can go how many Kilometer.
(hope it dun worst than my old wira)

other then the timing chain,what are the thing is going with belt in this car?
perharp aircond belt?

do absorbers is major promble for this car?
compare to proton~my wira absorbers wont last me long..geee..

Thank for your reply Jacky ^^

Don’t worry about the timing chain, it can last a very long time.

Problem with my wheel bearing is that it vibrates slightly when pushed with your hand. You will only notice it when you jack up the car.

Engine noise is abnormally loud noise when you push the car hard. Normally it can be solved by just an oil change, but if that does not fix the problem, you should have it checked.

The car has send to a experience formal inspection.
he mention everything is good,accident free..full record toyota maintenance
just only the aircond is not cold,need to refill gas.

when stop that time, i try switch the Gear to D,i feel some minor vibration,but it acceptable.(not as worst serious as my Wira 1998)

but i am curios,wrethe is normal or abnormal?hmm?

or maybe is the engine mountings’ problem??

as you mention above.
the Timing chain is need to be change?
i tho it can last up for 500k mileage.

however what is the wheel bearring anyways?

hopefully i alrdi pay deposit in this car
and now wait only for the loan approved.

156,000 km is on the high side for an 8 year old car. At such a high mileage car, you should take it for a major service (every 80,000 is a major service, in your case, it should be the 2nd major service, if the owner follows the schedule). Things to look out for are the engine noise, timing chain and also wheel bearing. Since the owner has already changed the wheel bearing, then that just leaves the engine and the timing chain.

But overall, I am satisfied with the Altis, really no major problem with the car!

its a 2002 year altis 1.8G
the owner told me that,this car come with leather seats. we are the first owner, and the car is accident free, in fantastic condition. the full service history is by toyota.

the last history at toyota was in september 2010. wheel bearings have just been changed, as well as the battery (all in sept 2010).

the mileage of the car is at about 156,000km

so jacky,for 8 year car,is it still worth to buy?
but i see the car condition,from the outlook
it welltaken care..and the paint have been respray.

i going to take this car go inspection tomorrow.

hopefully,i can get your comment,as soon as possible.

Thank you!!
your comment will be appeciated!

To give you an idea, I get almost 450 km for every RM 65 of petrol (RON 95, RM1.80 per litre). Go to my blog to read more.
