hi po dieseldude. gusto po sana naming ilipat ng ibang shop ang alterra and have it checked thereat pero di na umaandar. the mechanic informed us na it is because of the damaged injectors and suction control valve problem. my family had decided to ltercontinue with the suggested repair by isuzu davao that offered a 20% discount on parts and labor sa 184+ na expense kesa ipa-tow pa ang car papunta sa ibang shop. sabi din kasi ng ibang shop na pinuntahan namin e baka ipasa ng isuzu ang liability sa shop na sasalo sa alterra pagpinull-out dun. The problem in your area is the absence of qualified independent workshops that can provide expert second opinion and service support on common rail diesel systems.

ang plano muna namin ngaun is ipatanggal ang damaged injectors sa alterra and have them checked for a second opinion sa ibang shop. do you think this is wise? Yes, this is correct. Have the supply pump and injectors tested by a qualified workshop.

mga magkano kaya pacheck? I will PM you.

we just hope na di nila pinalitan ng totoong damaged injectors yung sa amin. You can go to the casa and request them to pull down the pump and injectors in your presence. Did you previously authorize them to pull down your injectors? I recall that this car was sent to them for change oil and clutch service only.

sobrang bad trip na talaga kami ngaun sa isuzu. actually, 2nd major repair na to. the engine control unit was replaced in mid-2010 dahil nasira din. after this mess, we intend to dispose of our alterra this year, which we now believe has several design flaws.
