    i try as much as possible not to give quotes without seeing the car. if you're interested in fixing the car bring it over to the shop so we can diagnose it.

    Don't know about Honda pero I just got one a new thermostat for the Vitara.

    SRP sa casa is Php750.00. Kaso nagpaloko sa Banawe yung driver. Php950 yung binili (now I know where the myth na 'mahal parts ng Suzuki' comes from).

    ang normally magkano labor pagpapakabit nito?

    FYI lang ulit my ride is a Honda Civic 2000 VTI.

    Thanks & God Bless!

    Mga BOSS,

    share ko lang ang experience ko before sa van namin. Same ang problem. Halos lahat na check nag overhaul narin nag radiator. pro wala parin nagyari.. One time naisip ko pressure wash ang radiator at yung airconyung dalawa mag katabi. Effective naman notice ko sobrang dumi puro putik, balahibo nag hayop. radiator grill at sa aircon.. yun wala nasiyang prblem

    Hope this would HELP..

    THANKS

    Update ko lang. ok ba itong price na ito. sa kakilala ng mechanic ko na dealer.

    OEM Thermostat =1,250 - 250 (discount) = 1K
    OEM Thermoswitch = 1,250 - 250 (discount) = 1K
    Labor(diagnose & Install ng Thermostat & thermoswitch) = 400


    ok po ba itong price na ito reasonable po ba?

    OT nalang din po..nagtanong ako ng local na Filter(air) 300 ok lang ba ito ung OEM kc 900 medyo mahal..ok lang ba quality din ng replacement?

    Thanks!

    Ok lang. Replacement air filter gamit ko dito. La naman problema. Just change regularly. Sa laki nga ng price difference, kahit every oil change pwede ka na magbago ng filter.

    Akala ko naloko na ko sa Php950 thermostat ng Suzuki. Mas mahal pa pala sa Honda. hehehe. Siguraduhin mo lang na orig at that price.

    sir reasonable n po ung price nyan. magandang icompare kung magpaquote k sa honda mismo, bago ka humanap ng honda parts (OEM or replacement) sa labas para mas makamura ka. sa akin kasi malaking bagay n ung 20Php difference sa price eh.


    Sir based din po sa experience ng mga boss ko (share ko lang) dami n nila napalitan sa car nila even radiator dahil sa ganyang problem and later to think n ang problem lang is a simple water pump. sir speedyfix is true and others. but sa pump may vane po kasi yan(ang na nagcreate ng motion or flow of water) n minsan nadadamage n ng kusa, gumagana sya pero di sapat ang amount of water n tinutulak nya to give a certain heat exchange rate. kasi sa manual 100k pa po dapat palitan yan kaso pagnagpalit k timing belt (di din maipaliwanag n medyo nagkakaproblema nga pag binalik ung luma) <--- ewan ko kung bakit ganon, im not an expert po dito pero in principles ganyan po ang mga pump eh.

    hope this helps you. tsaka to be sure sir speedy di ba po pag nag error ung thermo (etc) lalabas ung CEL? or makikita sa ecu code? <<< pa OT po ha.

    i have only seen a damaged vane ng waterpump mga once or twice. it hardly happens.

    nope, it normally won't result in a cel kung may sira yung part na yun.

    Update lang po.

    OK na po Tsikot ko di na tumataas Gauge Temp.

    Nagulat po kami ng mechanic dahil papalitan namin thermostat we found out na wala pa lang thermostat or tinggal nung previous owner( which I Think gingwa nung iba)...So most probably ito culprit kinabitan namin ng OEM n thermostat..The sinabal namin sa trafic ayun di na tumaas temp gauge nya steady na sa bago mag Half..

    Tanong ko lang po ano reason bakit tinatanggal nung iba thermostat? and ano bad effect? dahil tulad sa akin ito naging dahilan ng Pagtaas ng Temp..

    OK naman po water pump sinilip namin walang leak problem so hindi ito ang problem

    Inaalis ng mga mechanic ang thermostat kasi 'mainit' naman daw sa Pilipinas. ngek.

    And some owner's don't want to spend on replacing a non-working unit. Aandar din naman daw kahit wala iyon.

    Medyo weird ata naging solusyon dito...dapat nga, dahil walang thermostat, mas matagal uminit ang makina. The lack of a thermostat, in itself, should not be the principal cause of overheating...Actually, kaya nga tinatanggal ng mga ibang mekaniko yan, dahil sa tingin nila, yan ang isa sa contributors ng pag-ooverheat (pag defective, matagal or hindi bumbukas)

    Medyo ganon nga sir prang wierd..

    Kaya medyo nagtatanong ako if there's an impact dun sa pagkakatanggal ng Thermostat kya madaling tumaas temp dahil nung kinabitan namin as in steady na ung temp nya sa half we treid it sa trafic..

    Pero observe ko parin mabuti kung may mag babago and post ko dito.

    TIA

    It's the thermoswitch that solved your overheating probelm. The thermoswitch turns on the radiator fan when the water temperature reaches 98 deg.
