I don't see any issues, since Toyota owns Daihatsu and since you mentioned Avanza is basically a Daihatsu. Parts are inter changeable and cheaper to produce. Even in electronics, my ex company JVC say Flat Screen TV have parts from Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic and so on. There are so many parts that each individual company do not produce all of them, by themselves, but instead interchange.....lolCan't believe they are using this type of method for their lower end cars. I know that Avanza is actually more of a Daihatsu car and is also sold as a Daihatsu in few places. That doesn't mean that it should also use Daihatsu parts as I think the SC is charging Toyota price for Daihatsu parts.
Same diff.. No difference. Except service center charges more than usual due to overhead costs. I bought Daihatsu parts for my Kelisa (long time ago) and the bloody engine mounts costed RM800. Daihatsu Japan ori parts are not cheap but comparitively they last pretty long.If compared to Toyota?
I get your point but for expendable parts like oil filter and brake pad, I'm sure Toyota have their own parts. My mechanic was able to get Toyota parts for both but I really wonder why SC choose to go for Daihatsu parts.I don't see any issues, since Toyota owns Daihatsu and since you mentioned Avanza is basically a Daihatsu.

Yeah, I know they are interchangeable but if what if in reverse, you bought in a Lancer for service and they gave you Inspira local parts as replacement?toyota/daihatsu/perodua all part interchangeable... no problem...
same like proton using mmc parts...
I've heard before that a set of 3 engine mounts on Kenari and Kelisa can cost like the price you mentioned before.Same diff.. No difference.

The brake piston in the caliper is on one side, so one side push, one side pull. Probably your brakes got uneven pressure. Your mechanic should try clean and oil the floating pin....Regarding the brake pads that has been taken out, my mechanic said that on one side of the wheels, the pads are still thick while on another side, the pads are almost worn out. But the brakes are not jammed at either side.
Newbie attempt to tighten the oil filter? I really have no idea why did they tighten it that tight since it needs to be removed for disposal soon.i more concern why they over tighten the Oil filter. myself normally just give bit force by hand then finish it using wrench and give 1/2 knock using rubber mallet. light knock only. never face oil leak.
Normally good grip hand tighten onlyNewbie attempt to tighten the oil filter? I really have no idea why did they tighten it that tight since it needs to be removed for disposal soon.

Should not be, maybe mechanic use wrench to tighten.....SC use machine?
Tighten until too over. Perhaps a wrench like you said.Should not be, maybe mechanic use wrench to tighten.....
Unless it is not tighten can loosen but if tighten properly, removing will be easy. If over tighten, removal can be hell. Have seen people driving a screw driver right thought the oil filter to remove it....Tighten until too over. Perhaps a wrench like you said.
Oil filter wrench will do. Using screw driver might assumed thread is makan dy.Unless it is not tighten can loosen but if tighten properly, removing will be easy. If over tighten, removal can be hell. Have seen people driving a screw driver right thought the oil filter to remove it....
Sometimes have to use screwdriver when it's overtightened until oil filter wrench is slipping while removing it. So far only needed to do it onceOil filter wrench will do. Using screw driver might assumed thread is makan dy.
i use chain type oil filter wrench for difficult filter.most of it comes with very short handle so it can fit and turn in tight space. Handle is short but so far it have never failed me.Filters which are too tight will crumple but wil turn and able to be open.Sometimes have to use screwdriver when it's overtightened until oil filter wrench is slipping while removing it.

Yours not tight. Have seen at mechanic even using the chain, the filter got twisted and crushed, that is why the screw driver right though it method to remove......loli use chain type oil filter wrench for difficult filter.most of it comes with very short handle so it can fit and turn in tight space.

Been in that situation before. wrench could not help. last choice hammer it with screw driver and turn it.Unless it is not tighten can loosen but if tighten properly, removing will be easy.
