Anyone tried ALPHA ONE TIRE CENTER along Centennial Rd, Kawit, Cavite?

Need to fix humming sound when speed hits 60 - 80 km/h and kabig to right (1 o'clock).

Thanks

I had a few fixes done there. "Ok-ok lang" is what I would say.. May mga gawa sila na ayoko king pano rin ginawa.. Humming usually due to worn wheel bearings (if tires are still up to spec) and "kabig" either from simple wheel alignment or suspension component/s damage (again - kung maayos pa tires).

Thanks. Just got visited Bridgestone Tire center makati for check-up. Wheel bearing and wheel alignment ang suggestions. Need to look for a shop with good deal para sa replacement ng parts

Hi, need some help.

I need to top up my coolant, the level is way below MIN. Manual says I need type 2 coolant (blue). I went to ace hardware and they have the Prestone ready to use coolant (green) that claims compatible to all cars. Is that true? What alternative brands I can buy and where?

I did my research and bump into words like OAT and MEG. I give up.

Thanks!

^^^ Just top up with distilled water (Wilkins) and you'll be fine.

I top up w/ distilled water lang din

Pero dati Nakabili ako sa independent reseller pa. Bumili ng isang kahon sa amerika tapos benta dito ng mas mahal. Kaya nag complain ako sa website ng honda ph about the non-availability of the type 2 coolant mung 1 araw lang. Tayo na lang ata hindi binibentahan nyan sa buong mundo. Complain ka na din bos baka sakaling matauhan honda ph

you can also drain the whole cooling system and change to the green stuff...

Personally, I think it's safer to use Honda Type 1 and just follow a more frequent coolant change interval.

I also don't understand why Honda PH wouldn't or couldn't import the right stuff. When I still had my FD, I also had to resort to sourcing out a couple of Type 2 jugs from another forum member.

at 170t isang beses pa lang ako nag palit ng coolant..lol

Hi also canvassing new stock tires 205/55R16. Saw the pirellis priced resonably at minerva alabang. Also checked out some tires from the nearby snr. Also heard that good year has 3+1 promo with their eagle f1s not sure if that is still ongoing though. May naka try naba sa inyo ng toyo drb?

Minerva's Pirelli and SNR's Continental tires are priced almost the same because SNR has 3+1 promo for their Continental tires. The problem with SNR is they do not have alignment. To save myslef from hassle, I chose Minerva.

Hi, Thanks for the tips. I bought Type 1 coolant from Honda Cars Alabang branch for 275php for 1 liter. Used it to top up.

They do not and will not carry Type 2 Antifreeze because Type 2 is for region with very cold climate, winter to negative temperatures, as explained to me by their staff. Type 1 is good enough for our climate here in the PH and is compatible with Honda's engine and Type 2.

When the time I need to flush arrives, I will probably use Type 1 coolant even since it is more on the "safe" side and I would have to do it very rarely even though Prestone is 100 less cheaper, I don't mind spending a few bucks. Cheers~

That is BS. Type II is the only coolant recommended for our FDs. Once you put in the green Type I coolant, be prepared to experience over heating due to water pump and gasket failure. Type II coolant can be used anywhere in the world, it is just a matter of using the right proportion of Type II coolant and water in your rad.

I was told by my dealer that they occasionally carry Type II coolant in limited amounts. But they are selling it at P750+ per liter each. Check again with your respective dealers at baka meron na rin sila.

By the way, I still have the original factory Type II coolant in my 10-year old FD. I haven't changed it and some have leaked out when the auxiliary fan was changed. I just top off with distilled water every now and then. To date, I have had no radiator, water pump or coolant leak problems. Temperature always stays at 1 bar below half.

Dapat ang tinanong mo bakit world wide phased out na ang type 1 coolant at honda ph na lang ata ang nagbebenta niyan. Even our neighboring south east asian countries have essentially stopped selling type 1 coolants since the last decade. Wag masyado magpapaniwala sa casa bro

Personally i'm planning to buy online from malaysia na lang if i can't find resellers here anymore or hindi makatsamba sa casa. Pero at P750 a pop? That's highway robbery considering i remember i got a whole jug bought and brought from the usa for only 2k or 2.5k only and it was hand delivered to me pa [emoji38]

Pero Sabi mo nga, like you, I'd rather spend a few more bucks than compromise my car's cooling system

guys just like to share this...
on our 2010 civic, a noise/whining is heard whenever the steering wheel is turned to the left or right.
had checked the PSF tank and noted that level is lower against the normal low level indicator and the color is somewhat blackish (concluded that it needs to have a PSF change)
went to casa to buy a liter of PSF, however SA is insisting that over the counter purchase is not allowed and they should do the PSF change-out (company policy daw)
WTF... i pushed back and told him that my car is already out-of-warranty and i will do whatever i want with my car. politely asked if i can talk to his boss, but he did talk with his boss on my behalf instead (case won)

habang hinihintay ko yung PSF, nakipag-OC ako sa ginagawa ni casa foreman kasi alam kong buong PS system (R&P and pump overhauling)ang ginagawa nya. isiningit ko sa aking pagtatanong kung paano ang casa procedure for PSF change and he happily obliged to answer all my queries.

the annoying noise/whining is gone after my DIY PSF change.

From what I've read, sakit ng FD yung leaky power steering pump. I had an '09 1.8S whose PSP whines loudly pag mababa na yung fluid level. Filling it up takes care of the whine. The permanent solution of course is to replace the power steering pump. Yun nga lang mga Php 30T+ sa casa. I did talk to a 3rd party mechanic who said he can repair/reuse the pump but I sold the car before I got around to having it fixed.

[baludoy]

for your power steering problems, bring your ride to benmawi motors in binan, laguna. that's the go-to-shop of team fd peeps when they need to have their power steering systems fixed

Baka gustong masira ng honda philippines mga kotse para mapadalas ang repair..

Yan din nangyari sa first gen jazz cvt..... Ginamit ba naman eh conventional atf. Casa na yan ah.

Kaya after warranty eh lumayas na kayo jan..... Kung fluids lang madali na ngayon makabili sa ibang bansa...

the casa did that?
i thought, it was the non-casa service people and the car owners themselves, who did that.

[kagalingan]

^
Wala pang cvt fluid available mga panahon na yun. That was early 2000.

Lately na lang nagkaroon nyan....

-

Dito sa pinas wala talaga matino casa..... Sa toyota wala ako maisip..... mitsubishi mga pipitsugin...maybe honda spa pero pag warranty lang or nakikita ng eyes ko ginagawa...

Hindi ko nga tinatapos warranty ko.... And i usually skip the 40,000kms. Sa labas na ginagawa.

i find that, hard to believe. that they would distribute cvt-cars and not have cvt fluid to service them with.
but it would be a night mare, if it were true.

you have a car? since when? what is your car?

PS pump oil seal lang din ang pinalitan ni casa foreman nung nag-oc ako. dagdag pa nya na nagkakaroon daw ng problema pag ibang PSF ang nailalagay sa honda steering system.
