What's your odometer reading and major problems with Latio so far?

(1/10) > >>

Anaconda:
Mine is a CVT Oct 2005 model (SFZ plate).  My total mileage now is 157k+. Serviced dutifully with TCM till 120k then switched to AS.   I have faced the following major problems:
- aircon compressor intermittent not cold when reached mileage 130k. (repaired - removed compressor clutch washer)
- replaced one ignition coil at mileage 150k (3 remaining still stock - donno when going to kaput)
- replaced engine belt at mileage 145k
- suspension mounting discovered crack ~ 140k (replaced both front)
- front/rear suspension still stock but very soft liao (pending to replace)
- engine mounting crack (pending to replace)
- strong vibration (probably due to engine mount and old ignition coils)
- interior creaking and ratlling everywhere (managed to reduce substantially by DIY tape or sponge insulation on the joints of HU panels, top panels, A-pillars, door panels, even in old Kenwood stock HU also top cover loose)

Think it may be useful for us to share our odometer reading and problems face so that we can anticipate and prepare.  Thinking of using my latio till COE expire due to the high cost of cars now.

Let's get things going... :D

Make this a knowledge base of issues?

Current: 40,000km

Problems:
Exhaust Collar Sound - Noisy when reversing.
Steering joint/coupling - Renewed twice at 10k/30k. Steering shakes when going over bumpy roads. Makes knocking sounds when turning.
Cooling Coil - Renewed once. Air con was making shoosh shoosh sounds when driving.
Static shocks at door - Tightened earth terminal.
Vanilla smell coming from air con - Filter cleaned. Smell persisted. After cooling coil was renewed, the smell occurred less frequently.

dsrio:
Current: 95,000km , 5 years

Problems:
Aircon compressor - replaced under warranty at 3rd year, so far so good.
Cooling coil - Replaced once.
Steering coupling - replaced during warranty.

the rest such as brake pads, shock absorber i believe is under wear and tear so not relevant.

Autobay Kaki Bukit. Go up the ramp to level 2, think 3rd or 4th shop on your right. Car aircon specialist. Look for Luck. Charged me total $60 for the repair and compressor lubricant application. Process took  30 mins.  Before that went to other normal ws, was told compressor kaput!!! Heng I seeked 2nd opinion.  Already six months now, aircon so far so good.
