Latio not as good as mention.....

[arias48]

oh so did TCM rectify the "tock" sound problem for u? watz their explanation?

i understand your frustrations. as wat some bros here mentioned, buying a car is a heng suay thing.  u may juz happened to get 1 with slightly more problems  my fc oso very lousy, around 10.5-11l/km nia, rpm below 2500  as for issues like rattling sound and loosen parts, i will solve them  myself. too lazy to go bak TCM 

Will be going for my 1K servicing soon, will ask them for a thorough check on all my problems. 1K servicing usually is about 3 hours on weekday?

the 'tock' sound mentioned is it because of the switch to engaged the air con compressor?

At first I thought is the aircon, so I turned off the aircon and experiment it, but I still heard that 'tock' sound.

Jo_Lee, my case is similar to urs, did u check with TCM?

[Silver]

i had sent it in at 8:00 am
car was ready at 10:20 am

if you have other problems to settle, then it will obviously take longer than that

[Jo_Lee]

the 'tock' sound mentioned is it because of the switch to engaged the air con compressor?

no..its not due to air con compressor cos i dun on the air con in the morning...

arias48..no i didnt check with TCM cos i thought its normal as i hear the sound every day for
the past 10 mths  

[MadMatty]

the 'tock' sound mentioned is it because of the switch to engaged the air con compressor?

i think what they mean is the engaging of the gear when moving...as for the aircon, I find it is very loud when I first switch it on...just like the sound of steam rushing out thru a pipe..or rather to be more precise like pouring water on a hot metal...

[car_man]

mine also has got that "tock" sound every morning and evening I move my car after warming
up engine..the sound is quite soft but still can hear it while in the car...it always happen
after engine warmed up and moving in slow speed...but never hear the sound when car
moving in slow speed after traffic light..i guess by that time the engine is hot enuff so thats
why no more "tock" sound.


 

R u referring to when u start engine in the morning and when moving of slowly, u will hear continuous tok tok tok tok tok sound? It might be the ta pad(dunno how to spell) sound.Cos i also have , when drive for 1-2 mins ok liao. Check with SA , same answer la "IT's normal la"

i have that sound oso, i've check with TCM, they say is the ABS brake, when u park the car for too long (10 hours or more) then u start the car, it got the sound "tok" is bcoz the ABS brake is working,
if u dont hear the sound, that mean some problem with ur brake, that is what i'm told.

The 'tock' sound u guys toking abt is when u release the brake when moving off from stationary? Mine dun have this problem...my car engine relatively quite.....dun seems to be as problematic as some of u describe here....either tat or my tolerance/bo chap-ness is very high....

Did u set ur air-con to Auto? Our latio Auto air-con mode not so smart....if u leave the temp set at 25 and below, when u first start ur car in the morning...the temp inside the car is definitely higher than 25 and the Auto mode will blow the air-con at max fan speed to cool the car to the temp tat u set....

1st time I heard of such an analogy. 

Bunch of great story tellers at Tan Chong Motors.

no..not continous tok tok tok...juz 1 very soft "tok"..

[arias48]

Yap, is just 1 'tok' sound when my car moved from stationary to 10/20 km/h within MSCP, the 'tok' sound came out when the gear changed.

And I think is quite hard to simulate the problem to TCM cox this sound only come out when the engine is cold, unless we park our car overnite there or spend ur whole day there at TCM. 

[car_man]

Yup i get what u mean. I think all latio have this sound. But it's only sound once when you start engine and move off to a certain speed like 10-15km/h.Not only in the morning rite,it's everytime you start your engine and move off. It quite normal la. Thinks it's a signal for the engine to start really moving off.

[liewks]

Just a single gentle "tok" right? Could it be just the coolant pump engaging? Just a quack theory... Modern engines try to warm up as fast as possible to reach efficient operating temperatures and for the catalytic converters to reach operating temperatures. I am guessing that's partly why the initial fuel mixture is so rich.

Hi

'Tok' sound is normal.
Rattling sound near the dashboard is normal also. Nothing to complaint abt, already used to it although feels sickkkk of it.

Unacceptable excuse.

What is that boot sound? Kind to explain further?

[iagree]

hi arias

it's near the part where u "press" to open your boot.
after u open the boot, u just pay attention to that 'part', u can try to press to listen to the noise....
u will get me.
