Toyota Corolla 11th Generation Altis [Merged Threads]

**G-daddy** · August 19th, 2016 04:21 PM

It's not really a good problem to have when you have to constantly fiddle with the AC button every 5 minutes for a typical 2-hour commute.

And I suspect, that button will break soon enough.

Thanks for the suggestion, Walter. I had the thermostat and sensor checked last oil change and they just basically told me, ganyan talaga iyan e.

The other day, I had the rare chance to be driven by our driver. I sat in the back because I wanted to get some sleep for my 2-hour journey. Fell asleep I did, with the AC so freezing cold that when we arrived, I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose.

I guess the only solution is to wear a jacket everyday.

I love my Corolla, but that automatic AC really is a POS.

I have the same experience with my 10th and 11th gen. Both really cold at 28 deg C even if the 10th gen is 7 years old already.

Nice problem to have though, I'd choose it over my Mazda's so-so aircon. I don't feel worried about the heat even if I bake my car under direct sunlight.

My co worker's 2013 corolla is hella cold. Its got 160k on the odo and a/c can freeze hell imo.

Anyways we were enroute to some mountain and then he was fiddling with his nose later on my sinus was dry. I said lets disable the recirculate and just use the fresh air. I knew it was cold a/c, he didnt know it was the a/c. He has been sickish the past two years hahahaaa

Baldwin P7454 element. Used that on my Altis with ZR engine before.

Ordered mine from the US before but there may be some sellers on olx now.

What's your temp setting ba? Mine is at 25 and it's providing enough (a bit colder) on a hot day. I adjust it to 20 when I want colder than usual. On a rainy day with 30 or below outside temp, the 25 setting will have my ac turn out very cold air.

It's always at 24. But when it's raining really hard, I set at 28

Hi all,

Q: Will Techstream work via bluetooth OBD2 scanner?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Just bought a Red Altis G MT variant. I've been mostly driving diesel SUVs for the past few years and this will be the first time I'll be driving a gasoline powered sedan again since I first learned how to drive on a 1st gen vios.

Any tips for a new owner? Recommended accessories to get? I know I'll get some deep dish matts asap because of this rainy weather.
