    Hello. Im here to ask for advise. Early this week I had my Honda ESI checked. It was working okay and I just wanted to have it checked since I would be having a long trip from province to province. I was quoted with this price.

    1. Tune-up fix distributor oiling, adjust valve and clean sensor. 1,200
    2. Change oil with filter - 1,520
    3. fix tight thrilling arm, replace bushing - 2,400
    4. Replace Radiator fan - 900
    5. Front suspension rattle check - 1,820.

    I didnt realize there were a lot of problems pala. I dont want to have them fixed all, or I want to fix them but not all at once due to budget constraints so my question is this..

    Alin po ba dun dapat ko e pinaka prioritize for fixing? Are these major issues that the car might break down along the way if I wouldnt have these fixed?
    Okay naman car ko, tatakbo pa naman without obvious problems.

    Thanks.

    If the radiator fan is weak or not working anymore I would get that done first, then the distributor O-ring. If the engine oil is less than 6 months or 3000km old then you can probably delay this another 500-1000km, assuming the oil level is not too low, otherwise just top up with some regular engine oil for now. The others can be done whenever you have the budget.

    Get a second opinion and compare.
    The radiator fan if indeed worn out should be your first priority.

    May patong sya ng konti sa parts pero nasa reasonable range naman...

    Napansin ko lang kasi yung sa change oil kapag bumili ka na kasi ng 4 liters on the average thats 1K then less than 300 for the filter.

    Kung baga kung kakagatin mo price nya to save you the hassle of going someplace else to buy your parts or ikaw bibili then pa estimate mo kung magkano labor lang then weigh your options

    ganun ba kamahal yun palit ng o-ring ng distributor?

    1. radiator fan
    2. o-ring
    3. pwede na sabay lahat yun pangilalim (interchangeable to 4) bahala ka na
    4. tune up and change oil...

    pero since ibyabyahe mo

    1. radiator fan
    2. tune up change oil


    ewan ko kung gaano kagrabe kalampag pero if you can live with it pwede pagbalik mo na

    yun leak sa distributor hinde naman siguro malakas so pwede pa yan

    compressor meron 8k-15k depende kung ano brand tsaka kung bago talaga o reconditioned lang. pag bnew tlaga ok naman presyo yun 12k kasi kasama na dyan labor siguro tska full charge ng freon/ cleaning ng condenser and evaporator. papalitan mo na din ng expansion valve. san shop ba yan? try mo din pa-estimate sa ibang shop wag lang sa rapide hehe. san lugar ka ba?
