    Okay, that's good to know. I guess case-to-case basis lang yung PnP HIDs to halogen projectors.

    I will go back to Goldcars on Sunday as my HID's on lowbeam is no longer working. By the way, it's worth 9K (pero yung abala is priceless). I still have the stocks with me, worst case, i have to put them back.

    This morning, i tested my HU and i found out that my speakers (driver seat and passenger seat) doesn't have sound. It looks like some connections are not installed properly. So the sound just came from the back passenger seat and the front (dashboard) tweeters. The HU settings have only 4 channels and 5.1 settings (parang 4 amplifiers lang). I would need Goldcars check on this too (since LTZ have 8 speakers). I hope this will be fix and the sound would be much better.

    We need to learn from this... It's good to have this forum.

    Only Chevy has dexos2 oil here in the Philippines. Other brands have no dexos2 oil yet. I went to Autoplus to inquire about the Motul Specific dexos2 oil, they do not sell it. Pati Shell wala ring Helix Ultra dexos2.

    Other alternatives are using 15W40 CI-4 or CJ-4 oils

    Sir you can buy 3M undercoat at any Ace Hardware branch and let your local gas station do it for you. Much cheaper than going to Ziebart's IMO. BTW, post pics of your TrailB!

    Kamusta naman performance ng 2.8 VGT engine for the Trailblazer? I test drove the 2.8 VGT engine on the colorado and ang swabe ng acceleration! Naiwanan ko ang 3.0 FORTUNER at the time of the test drive. Must be the 6 speed transmission's smooth transition. Winner!
    I can definitely say that the acceleration is better than its 2 japanese competitors. Miles better! Even more fuel efficient *ram angle and *RTS will also attest to this.

    Calling the attention of *jonzjitsu! Ito na ang sagot sa iyong paghihintay bro!



    Pagandahan ng deal bro. Pag ikaw ang makapagagree sa magandang deal, sa'yo ibibigay

    SA ko sa Chevy Otis ang nagpost nyan. Give her a call tomorrow. Her name is Godlyn Clemente.

    Just to add, kung same transaction tulad ng sa amin (add 3% DI and in house insurance which the premium can be lowered down like ours), sa'yo na ang Sapphire Black Trailblazer LTZ. Another suggestion, get the V-Kool OEM 05 tints for the side and rear windows, V-Kool Signature K14 tint for the front windshield.

    I'm a user of Shell V-Power Nitro+ Diesel since 2 weeks ago, wala namang problem. More than a thousand kms din tumakbo on V-Power Nitro+ Diesel and still no problems.

    I also have this message "water in fuel" since the first day I got my unit, they told me they will check on it on my 1K check-up...so far there has nothing un-ussual on the engine except the hassle on keep on clicking the menu button when it appears during start-up. Chevy Cebu was not able to fix it during check-up due to I was also in a hurry that time and promised they will find solution with this problem.

    In so far everything are okey sa TrailB ko, performance wise matrapik or hi-way, the fuel needle seems steady sa full, driving 80 km yesterday (EDSA Mandaluyong, KalooKan, Commonwealth etc.) If Strada ang gamit ko w/ the above trips the fuel needle is already appreciable change.

    One thing I noticed everytime I start the aircon " amoy basahan basa ang unang buga", gradually nawawala naman.

    My HU GPS ( Papago) hindi ko parin matutuhan ang how to find the intended street that Im looking for, none existing of voice command still. On my forthcoming PMS as what numbah5 suggest to call the attention of the Tech. dept.Come Feb. I will get again new sets of Purchase Receipt, ubos na yung 2nd installment na bigay ng dealer.

    I'll bringing mine for check up Tom. When I called sa dealer, they wanted to check it out ASAP daw, no mention of sa 1k check up.

    napaisip nga ako nung sinabi sakin yun sir kasi alan ko mas better nga sana ang premium. well inisip ko nalang din yun good side na makakamura din ako since ok lang sa TrailB natin ang regular na fuel.

    In your case sir, the fuel pumps at the Shell station you've fueled up might have water mixture. V-Power Nitro+ Diesel in general is not the culprit in your "Water in Fuel" problem, it is the fuel pump of the Shell station where your fueled up having water mixture that is the culprit.

    Premium diesels are a good alternative to Unioil's and Eastern Petroleum's Euro 4 diesel that the manual is recommending. They have additives that clean diesel deposits in the injectors of the CRDi system.

    Ako rin I'm using V-Power Nitro+ Diesel for more than 1000 kms. No problems whatsoever. Malas lang ni Steveyemd yung Shell station kung saan siya nagpagas ng V-Power Nitro+ Diesel may halos tubig yung fuel pumps.
