Good day po mga sir! I noticed po a few sections near the batt ay may rust. I read that if the batt fluid spilled it can cause corrosion so I assume it's bec. of that. I already inquired sa aking agent if it will be covered by the warranty but up to now he hasn't responded yet.
I will just post these pics since I don't have a clue how to describe the problem:
So far I am not encountering any problem when starting Vanzie. As to whether may nararamdaman akong kakaiba with Vanzie lately, I would not have a clue kung ano ba yung normal or abnormal..
I brought Vanzie to the casa the S.A. quoted 1k to 2k daw po damage. Ok po ba yung amount or over?
Ano po ba dapat kong sabihin, ipa-check at gawin? esp. when I talk to the S.A.
Is it worth na magpa fullrust proof ako at this point (Vanzie was bought last April 2007). Sabi dun sa isang casa hindi naman daw covered ito ng full rust proof....sabi dun sa isang pinuntahan ko covered daw.....
Wow!... that is really caused by battery acid spill. I think the exposed metal could easily be painted over by a good quality paint that will also take care of the rust. Be careful about those wires too!
1k or 2k I think is too much!

I think that is caused by battery acid. Sorry. Di di magagawa, puwedeng lumala lalo.
As a 2nd option na ipagawa sa casa, (di ko lang alam kung puwedeng maka void ng warranty) ay linisin mo ang affected area ng mabuti, patuyuin, then gamitan ng rust converter. Pag natuyo ang rust converter, konting linis lang then puwede ng pinturahan ulit.
DIY ka ba pag nagdadagdag ng battery fluid?
I better check mine tonight. From the pics kasi parang car ko rin. Pero mas malinis any iyo.

Minor lang yan but you must do something about it asap, otherwise lalala.
If DIY; lihahin mo then clean it with water and soap patuyuin, apply rust converter like turko then dry, apply primer and dry it apply primer again then dry it. Apply paint (same color with the surface, papatimpla ka) let it dry then repeat again.
Or bring it to paint shop then bahala na sila. Below 1k lang dapat yan.
IMO Toyota should use the maintenance free type naman…anyways if it’s still covered, they should fix / repaint it free of charge. Delikado ang acid even sa mga wirings.

if the casa warranty won't cover it, just buy the 3m rust avenger or turko(local version) remove the loose rust and paint, apply the rust converter around to coats, then let it dry, then buy epoxy primer apply either spray or brush, then final layer would be the body color. if you just paint over the rusted part, it will still rust through.
My car is Avanza G Automatic. I think DIY is out of the question since my knowledge on car, paints, wiring is close to nil. Baka po lalo lang madamage.
My DIY actions when it comes to Vanzie is limited to dusting lang po pag dating sa engine. I don't even know how to check the oil level. As in set to drive, step on brake or gas lang po talaga kaya ng powers ko.
Wala po ako pinakikialaman anything puro casa lang po. My suspicion is my parking space at the office kasi pa incline po.
Initially, I noticed sa bandang top (under the yellow handle) yung white powder wala naman duon sa mga takip na bilog. So I think hindi doon nanggaling yung leak. Napansin ko lang po may mga paint na parang nag bubbles then last week when I wiped the dust off the engine pinunasan ko yung mga parts na may bubbles tapos ayun I discovered the rusts beneath the paint. I removed yung paint sa ibang area na may bubbles din then I applied petroleum jelly (that's all I got at home) --- I thought it would prevent the rust from getting worst!!!
if you think 1-2k is too much, pwede bang tumawad sa casa?
nagulat nga po ako bakit ang quote sa price ay may range pa? hindi ba pwedeng 1230.00 period
yung isang kasa one day iiwan si vanzie yung isa naman 2 days!!!!
Ano pa po ang dapat kong ipa-check pa sa kasa na maaring naapektuhan ng acid?
I went to Toyota Balintawak (Mon.) this morning bec. I noticed na may mga white powder na naman ulit sa ilalim nung yellow handle. The S.A. told me na delikado na itakbo baka tumirik na lang daw si Vanzie (Automatic pa naman) and to my surprise he told me he would replace the battery since it's still under warranty!
He replaced it with an OUTLAST maintenance free battery na! I will go to TYT SM North to talk to the warranty officer if they can repair the rust/paint the affected area since yung painting daw sa SM North talaga ginagawa.
Ilang beses ko din pinasilip si Vanzie sa iba't ibang S.A. sa same branch ....ok naman daw ang water level but only yung S.A. na nakausap ko kanina yung nag decide to have it replaced.
Thanks sa mga advice ninyo! Kung hindi i-cocover ng warranty ang painting sabi ng S.A. i-paint over ko na lang daw wala naman ma vovoid na warranty.
I will start reading on DIY rust removal/painting and go around the shops to check the prices and availability nung mga products recommended ninyo.

Maraming salamat po ulit sa mga advice....
Nice!. Mukang OK ang Toyota Balintawak na kausap.

Good news they replaced it with a MF type. as I’ve seen under your name, avanza 1.5G! kaya medyo natanung ko if that’s the stock batt. But IMO, they should be the one to shoulder the re-paintings.

kung talagang ayaw i-honor yung repainting, then have it done outside kahit sa mga backyard body and paint shop di ka naman siguro sisingilin ng mahigit sa P500 nyan. Just be sure they treat the rust and have it painted with epoxy primer before putting the top coats.
Help!!! Rust under the hood
