GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

I had the I/C nozzles replaced under warranty today, all three were stuck open due to deposits accumulating inside them, they strongly advised using only distilled water, the user manual doesn't say anything specific about a certain type of water, it just says "water only", same on the water tank lid so I don't think I did anything wrong, it's probably why they approved it under warranty. I don't use it that much tough so it won't be a big deal putting distilled water in there, it's a gadget for road use really, I only used it 2-3 times to prevent heat soaking at red lights, in 30°C plus outside temps, in Belgium it's not a common occurrence lol.

Not cheap though if you're going through the dealer with no warranty, as the front bumper has to come off.

I’ve always used distilled for fear of this but never actually use it 🤣

I still have not used mine :ROFLMAO: Never had a chance to go into "damn we need to cool down fast" territory, plus with winter coming I will not definitely use it for another6 months.
 
Overheating at the traffic light?!?! At most I saw 98 degrees then the fan kicks in fast and lowers it… anyway I don't use it much either and in my opinion the tank doesn't last long enough
Not overheating, heat soak in the engine bay which impacts IAT, and the I/C spray helps with that.
 
That's why I'm always breathing in the neck of the mechanic😁🤣. And always ask for the empty bottle of oil at the end of the operation. I Will do mine soon as I reach 3k KM even if they told me to do the first oil change at 5k KM, and probably get my own bottle of Ravenol 0#20 to the dealer. Don't forget that the customer is king!
They're putting something in my tank that I'm not entirely sure about: 0W-20 API SP oil for GR Supra... looking around, it says API SP RC... but that RC is only for resource conserving... which seems to indicate fuel economy and easy disposal?!?!... For the rest, it should be fine? I'm not interested in fuel economy or anything else... I just want the engine to be properly lubricated.
 
Has anyone replaced the pollen filter? Does anyone know why there should be a filter case but mine doesn't? Did they forget it in the shop? Or should it not be there? Does anyone care to look? It's simple.
