    Kasi yung old cars may signs like iingay or something or pag shocks sira matagtag.

    May timing belt ba car ko? Yan kinakatakutan ko din masira

    If its a Toyota, its an easy fix. 👍👍👍

    Pag sa ibang brand yan nangyari, tatawagin yan na sirain.

    Anyway, thanks to the Tsikot community kasi yung 40k PMS ko na P18k was cut in half! Kung madadala ko lang car ko sa QC baka less than P10k lang magastos ko for the coil ignition and valve cover

    March 15, 9 am pinick up then they messaged me today (Mar 17) lunch time na ready na unit.

    I should have gotten it March 16 but I only gave them go signal nung March 16 to proceed with the repair and PMS. One day daw kasi to order parts

    Ano kaya cause bakit bigla naging matagtag [emoji24]

    yun nga

    so hindi counted ang march 15 dahil 16 ka nag go ahead

    march 15 your car was just parked at the casa

    they started working on your car yesterday (palit ignition coils, valve cover gasket, change oil etc) and you got your car today

    you think they can squeeze in the time to remove your shocks and install someone else's old shocks?

    di madaling trabaho magpalit ng shocks

    tsaka meron sila ibang cars to attend to

    Possible they left your vehicle on the lifter for too long ... or worse overnight ... solution before was to "compress" the shocks while driving ... you'll have to figure out creative ways of doing this safely ...

    leaving the car lifted on a hoist does not cause the ride quality change. if it had active suspension, it has to be switched off first to prevent the ride height control from extending and contracting the actuators repeatedly

    altis does not have active suspension like the mid 90s sports and luxury editions with TEMS- toyota electronically modulated suspension

    it would show on the dashboard or instrument panel. during KOEO (key on engine off) check mode, all the warning lights go on to check mode, all of them light up. some turn off automatic from the delay timer, some when the conditions are met to extinguish the warning light

    if you are inclined,
    do some forensic mechanics.
    inspect the nuts and bolts on them shocks. after being there for 9 years, i expect them to be dull or dirty on the surface.
    are they dull and dirty, or are there bright spots, suggestive of recent manipulation?

    after this latest issue Cathy already convinced herself her car is a lemon

    kahit naayos na car niya she expects another issue to arise

    kakabahan na siya gamitin ung car

    psychological na ito

    you're probably right.

    once you are convinced your car is a lemon,
    every little creak will be cause for concern, even when in truth, 'there's nuthin' to be worried about' .
    sell it nah. you'll never feel comfortable again, driving her.
    heh heh heh.

    Yes that is the case of honda CR-Vs before (not sure now) ... but the "expert" from abroad is saying it doesn't happen and if it does, an error should light up ... so I guess it doesn't exist here ... we are just imagining it ...

    The shocks are just stretched, they're not really damaged ... you just need to "reseat" them by compressing the shocks ... one method is to find a steep driveway or incline and drive diagonally towards the incline to "compress" the shock one by one ... or find a ramp a drive fast so the car jumps and lands hard ...

    That's the first thing I did, pinacheck ko yung air, perfect naman

    OH NO! Naalala ko tuloy nung na overspray ng casa yung car ko and I insisted na ayusin nila kapalpakan nila

    I will post the report of the casa, they found nothing else to repair. Passed lahat sa inspection. Nakalagay they tightened the nuts and bolts, baka dapat hindi na lang nila ginalaw e

    If I had a job I would, if I get a windfall of money, that's the first thing I will do nga. Saka diba dito sa Tsikot may mga hindi gusto ang CVT? Parang disposable car ata or something?

    I really hope so. How about if I don't brake na sa humps. How about yung humps na pangit/steep in BGC sa may mind museum?
