**daive** · October 15th, 2009 03:31 PM

Hi everyone...attn to Toshi:

I just want to share that both of our cars, including the Chevy Optra, are in running condition now!!! "Running" because it still needs work in the inside and the locks and windows are still a bit grounded. But according to Archie, the very good mechanic I found here, it'll get fixed as soon as the dashboard is removed and the wirings are cleaned and dried. I'm just so happy that I didn't have to spend so much money bec I really can't afford the casa fees!

He's young but very good at his job...and seems like an honest and good person too (not 'taga')!

He specializes in new model cars- his recent flood-damaged car clients are 2006 and up...but he also knows old school cars hehe (also fixed our 94 Esi).

Good luck, and I hope you are as blessed as me, no damages to the ECU, aircon, power controls, lights, battery, etc.

God bless!

Hi,

Kung gusto mo makatipid, have everything washed and dried up... you have no choice but to remove everything inside out.

Drain the fluids etc.

If everything - electrically is sound and good and functioning (by doing direct electrical tests...)

Then the next step is electronics.

If you dont have the budget for a new ECU...

You can try Mega Squirting it. for more info about that... go here. http://pinoymegasquirt.blogspot.com

thanks for the info... how much would this cost? can this replace the common modules(ECM, TCM, BCM) installed in an A/T Optra Sedan? thanks...

It will cost you relatively less than getting a new original OEM replacement - even with labor included. First of all, the connectors that will replace the original OBD sockets are far cheaper. Please visit the blogsite for more details.

hi everyone. my optra is now running pero umabot ng 88850 ang total cost. sa labas ko lang pinagawa. walang stereo yun just the parts needed to have the car running.pero there are still some problems. ang hina humatak. ganun po ba talaga yun after nabaha. hindi na ba sya babalik sa dati nyang takbo.is this a fair price. yung cost ng computer box ko ay 30k hindi po yun bago ni repair lang.aircon is 10k surplus.was i duped. i really dont know. help please

Ang laki ng ginastos mo para lang mapaandar ang makina mo . Kung ako sa iyo ibalik mo doon sa pinagpagawan mo at sabihin mo iyong problema ng sasakyan na mahina humatak dahil sila lang gumawa niyan alam nila kung ano ang inayos sa makina mo .Siguro naman aayusin ng pinagpagawaan mo iyan para ma satisfy ka sa takbo ng sasakyan mo. Goodluck

**chuaed** · December 8th, 2009 04:59 AM

ang laki nga sobra ng singil sa iyo, ask mo papano nila na-compute iyun total amount na iyan, ask mo din iyun break-down ng parts replaced and labor para malaman kung justified iyun presyo kung mabasa mo sa ibang thread na katulad mo na binaha rin hindi ganyan inabot na halaga sa pag kumpuni ng kanilang sasakyan... sana hindi mo pa sila binayaran ng buo dahil sigurado may back job sila gagawin dahil kung nabayaran mo na wala na TY na iyan hindi na sila magpapakita sa iyo unless babayaran mo sila ulit...

btw. pano nila nirepair iyun computer box? may parts ba sila pinalitan doon? usually gagawin lang nila bubuksan lang iyun computer box, tapos bubugahan ng WD-40 at contact cleaner. (ganyan nakita ko ginagawa ng talyer na nagaayos ng mga nabaha na sasakyan)

pag umandar na sasakyan mo kailangan dalhin mo sa gasoline station, palitan ang gear oil, lagyan ng grasa iyun mga ball joint, idler arm, etc. kung mayroon mapaglalagyan, tapos pag automatic transmission iyun optra mo kailangan dalhin mo sa banawe, kay Fronte at ipa dialysis mo iyun doon para mapalitan ng sariwang ATF.

it gets worse po. i drove the car for a week pero sobrang hina talaga nya so binalik ko sa kanila. now theyre asking me for an aditional 12k kc yung ginawang computer box ng transmission nasira na ng tuluyan so we have to replace it na daw. yung unang 10k na binayad ko for that particular computer box dadagdagan ko na lang daw ng twelve para mapalitan ng bago. well not actually brand new daw gamit na rin pero ok naman daw. im beggining to feel depressed about this...

here is the breakdown pala nung 88k
computer box repair and diagnostic 30k
immobilizer 13500
labor 9k
aircon (surplus) 10k
panel gauge 15k
hella horn 900
air filter 450
repair of electronics 5k
change oil 3x break fluid and
transmission fluid 6k
