2nd hand cars, what needs to be replaced and checked?

[jergwapo]

mga paps, may nabili akong 98 na civic lxi. ano ba ang mga unang dapat kong bigyan ng pansin na ipapagawa or papalitan?

[[archie]]

the first thing you have to check is the engine, its an old car and timing belt needs to be replaced together with the fan belts and water pump.

another is the suspension, yung civic natin medyo mabilis masira yung pangilalim na stab link and trailing arm bushing. ung akin annual replacement pa nga.

cooling system, usually for old cars... yung radiator minsan may impurities na, lalo na kung hindi drain ng mayari ever since.

drain all fluids (tranny, brakes, power steering,)

kung may cash pa extra, undercoating and interior detail.

hope this helps!

Dahan dahan lang ang advice bro baka makunan siya. Aba lahat na yata ay papalitan na, naku madugo ito baka hindi makayanan. Ang mabuti pa bibili nalang ng bago. Pero your right! At kay jergwapo, if aint broke dont fix.

Before you got the car dapat you had a PPI done. A PPI is a pre-purchase-inspection. Your trusted mechanic should be able to give you a run down of what needs to be replaced so you have an idea.

It's also a good idea to have the engine and underbody cleaned properly, that way your mechanic won't have a hard time spotting something bad.

Have a major tune-up done if you want peace of mind. Actually maganda rin suggestion ni Archie, especially if the car did not come with any service history.

ako rin i just purchased a 2nd hand car recently (96 civic vti) and honestly wala ako mashado alam sa mga kelangan ipa-check, but yes i want to make sure my car is in good shape.

san ba ok magpa 'major tune-up' and how much does it usually cost? kung ang papacheck ko lang e ung suspension and cooling system as mentioned by sir Archie, san ba pwede ipa-check un? does it cost you to just have it checked if these things are still in good condition?

^^ yung major tune up... ang critical diyan yung tappet valve adjustment. only a few know how to do this right. kila speedyfix and hongly ang alam ko na malupit talaga sa ganon. it cost around 600 to 900 ang tappet alone and kailangan palamigin muna yung engine before doing this. either of the 2 magailng talaga na shop and they can habdle cooling inspection as well

with the suspension naman, kay motorcraft ok din talaga.

the check up usually do not cost anything, bibigyan ka lang ng quotation on the items need to be replaced or repaired.

hope this helps!

salamat mga paps sa advise. nung binili ko yung car, sabi ng mekaniko kong kasama ganda pa daw ng makina para sa 10yr old car. bagong palit din yung shocks and battery. super lamig ng aircon kc bagong linis daw lahat. pero timing belt nga hindi pa napalitan. so sabay sabay nalang cla palitan? kc diba magkakatabi lang ang timing belt at water pump? magkano magpadrain ng lahat ng fluids mga paps? ok lang na sabay sabay kc may budget naman. mas mabuti na safe kc 2nd hand car lang yun at pamilya ko isasakay ko. salamat ulit mga paps... more power!!

Tama pag napalit ka ng Timing belt palitan narin yong water pump at papalitan mo narin ang tranny oil pati narin yong brake fluid para lahat ay fresh.
