Hi guys, just had my cabin filter changed from the casa. Grabe, kaya pala mahina aircon ng cruze.. Ang dumi na ng cabin filter..!! Ngayon sobra lakas na ng blower ngayon simula nung napalitan na ng bago. Tip lang nung taga service is, try blowing the filter every month para daw parati ito nalilinis and para di magastos sa pagpapalit n filter! Woow!!! Loving my cruze more!!! tinuro pa sakun kung san pinapalitan ang filter... Kaya ayos na ayos talaga!! salamat chevy!!

Hi cruze owners,

meron ba kayo nung window visors installed sa cruze nyo? as in may gamit ba siya or more on porma lang?

plus, if i will be getting a moroccan blue na cruze, ano ba mas ok, chrome na visor or black?

For rain visor: I have it installed because during heavy rains i can slightly open the windows without having drenched especially if the aircon is too cold.

For chrome visor: I think pwede naman sa lahat. Have seen chromes on black, blue, white, silver colored cars.

other than being able to open the windows a bit during a rain, meron pa ba iba?

A rain visor is a protective protrusion, which is often attached to the leading and top edges of your car’s side windows. Their purpose is to protect you from outside elements such as rain drops and dust when you are driving with your car windows open. However, if the window is opened more than a few inches, these visors will not do much in terms of protection. These visors are made from acrylic and are quite tough.

Rain visors do not only protect your eyes from dust particles and your clothes from rain when it is raining outside, but they also add to the look of the car they are installed on. These very useful car accessories come in different materials such as chrome etc. as well as in different colors. They can be installed both on the rear and back windows of the car and thus can keep both front and back seat passengers as well as the driver safe from rain and wind. These visors also let fresh air in without letting in bigger air particles, for those who prefer that over air conditioning. (source: The Uses and Benefits of a vent visor)

Just to ask:

How many Cruze owners namatay battery after just over 1 year? I know 1 year lang warranty ng battery, pero I've owned 5 brand new cars na, and sa awa ng diyos yung Cruze lang yung namantay yung battery after 1 year and 1 month. . . tamang tamang pag expire ng warranty. . .

Those who have the "Rocket" brand of battery beware. . . pag medyo mahina na start up ng Cruze palitan nyo na. Mahal din yung replacement Motolite Gold na battery - 7k! Parang 3SM na yung price. But cheaper vs the 8.5k price the casa was asking.

Another gripe is fuel economy. haven't budged from 6-7km/l city driving, though admittedly in traffic.

how do you actually blow the filter every month? kelangan ba dalhin pa sa casa or kaya na DIY?

Hi sir, the service manager was kind enough to teach me how.
1.open glove compartment at passenger side.
2. Remove the hydraulic clip at the right side of the compartment.
3. Lift the glove compartment slightly and press both side walls until the side button(locks) disengage from the dashboard attachment
4. You will see the black rectangular plastic behind the glove box has been pulled down.
5. Open it by pulling the lock above the cabin filter.(mejo mahirap sa umpisa at ingat sa matatalas na plastic)
6. Open the cabin and you will see the filter inside. (white paper like material)
7. Pull it out and have it blown by air. Then
Put it back. Mind the arrow on the filter. This points out the direction of air coming from the outside into the filter then the blower.

Pwede po ipalinis sa casa, abutan nyo na lang yung mekaniko na gagawa
kung yun ang gusto nyo.

*guys i was warned not to use a substitute filter than may cause damage to the eveporator due to poor filtration of air. Mura lang sa casa ang filter. 900php i think. So better be safe rather than suffer the consequences in the future. mahal ang pyesa ng aircon kapag nasira ito. I have a friend in the USA that explained all these filter mechanisms. Kaya natakot din ako.

[LucasVN]

We are considering the cruze... To replace our swift, ano ba mga Issues sa Cruze that I should know off? Ano ang consumo ng 1.8 AT? Parts daw mahal? Hirap ba parts sa labas? Pms cost? Diba every 10k, how much naman in average ang 10, 20, 30, 40k?

I humbly disagree.

If this were true, i wonder why my thirteen year old Honda Civic's evaporator is not damaged yet, considering it does not employ the use of "pollen filters".

Pollen filters are supposed to protect the passengers from airborne allergens, and not for the protection of the evaporator.

[Chevyboy]

Ay tama po kayo sir. What i meant was, pollen filters will prevent the bringing out of the evaporator for cleaning. Nas madali na mamaintain na malinis ang evaporator dahil nafifilter na ang mga dumi. i stand corrected po di nasisira ang evaporator kahit wala filter.

6-7km/l? the cruze is this much of a gas guzzler? woah! this makes me take a second look on the elantra nalang or the fiesta!

At the end of the day, ikaw din ang magdecide kung ano ba talaga ang gusto mong 'gamitin' na kotse.

yeah true. the cruze was actually the top in my list for a new car pero di ko akalain na ganito pala kalakas sa fuel. nakikita ko kasi sa mga reviews na at par yung fuel economy nya sa elantra pero real world tests differ pala.

pero super cool padin tingnan ng cruze :/

Fuel consumption is relative to your route and driving, the compact cars(cruze,civic,altis,focus etc 1.6-2.0) given the same route and driving skills would basically have same fuel consumption. Some cruze owners have as high as 15km/l because their route is mostly highway while some(me included) consume 8-10km/l mixed city/highway while some have 6-7km/l because of mostly city and congested traffic.

The Cruze, arguably the best handling(best overall package) on this segment, you'll surely miss if you're going to zero-in to fuel consumption only w/o checking other variables.
