Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Two Toyota Vellfire in One Day: What a Complete Gearbox Rebuild Actually Involves On a recent workday at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, two Toyota Vellfire arrived at our workshop on the same day for gearbox rebuild and overhaul — a Vellfire 20 and a Vellfire 30, one dark aubergine and the other pearl white. Two of the same large MPV in a single day says something simple about the work: handling these gearboxes is ordinary practice for our crew, not an experiment. Each transmission was lowered out from underneath the vehicle on the lift and carried across to our steel tear-down bench. The casing was split open to show the gear train and the differential. Alongside, the valve body was stripped down, every spring and small part laid out in order across the bench for cleaning and inspection. When the parts are set out in front of you, wear is something you can see and measure r...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 The Quiet Toll of Excessive Heat: Engine Replacement on a Toyota Alphard Drivers across Johor recognize Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) primarily for our specialized transmission work. However, our workshop in Taman Mount Austin also handles full engine overhauls and complete engine replacements. This dual discipline was on full display when a Toyota Alphard arrived at our service bay requiring an engine replacement after overheating. So that this kind of work is done properly rather than dabbled in, an experienced engine specialist recently joined our team, making it a staffed capability rather than an occasional sideline. Why Thermal Stress Inflicts Widespread Damage Heat remains the most relentless adversary of automotive powertrains. In an engine, extreme operating temperatures rarely confine their destruction to a single isolated component. Once operating heat surges beyond safe thresholds, the consequen...

English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 English Edition The Toyota Alphard and Vellfire (AGH30, 2.5L) are beloved for their exceptionally smooth and luxurious ride. However, owners seeking a slightly sharper throttle response often install aftermarket "throttle controllers" or performance chips. While this is an understandable desire, it represents a widespread misunderstanding of how the vehicle's transmission actually works. At Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) , we recently handled an Alphard that suffered a catastrophic transmission failure, serving as a vital educational lesson for all CVT owners. Knowledge protects your ride Why Throttle Controllers Break Steel Push-Belt CVTs Unlike conventional gearboxes or chain-driven CVTs, the Super CVT-i in the 2.5L Alphard and Vellfire utilizes a steel push-belt . This belt is composed of hundreds of thin steel elements held together by steel bands. It transm...

English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 English Edition The Toyota Alphard represents the pinnacle of luxurious family transport. Its spacious cabin and plush ride make it a favorite among families in Johor Bahru, Tampoi, and Skudai (and it's a common sight for our visiting Singapore drivers). However, moving a large, heavy premium MPV requires a robust automatic transmission. Over the years, the internal components of this transaxle inevitably suffer from wear and tear. When an older-model Alphard begins to experience harsh shifting, transmission slippage, or a frustrating delay when engaging gears ( gear masuk lambat ), the smooth "first-class" feeling vanishes quickly. A premium ride, properly restored, requires a premium specialist. Recently, a well-loved, older-generation Toyota Alphard (2.4L) arrived at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) . The owner was understandably concerned. Overhauling the transmiss...
