2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[CVT]

Grabe pala ang pitstop mag alibi, sabihin mo kaya sa kanila na nag foforum karin sa team hyundai phils para mabulabog sila. Ridiculous na mga alibi nila just to circumvent the warranty.

Iyan ang magandang approach bro... Use the team to push them into the right action.

Fuel consumption is about 8-9km/l city driving after they replaced the wastegate but before that around 6 km/l din. Pitstop still insists that its not under warranty na daw kasi classified daw yun part as a moving part. Eh halos lahat nman ng parts sa van moving e, kung ganun din lang e para saan pa yun 5 year warranty nila. Ano yun drawing lang? Wala ngang nakalagay sa warranty booklet mismo nila na ganun e.

Hyundai gave the 5 year warranty kasi they believe na ganun kaganda ang mga parts nila, ngayon kung bumigay within that period dapat lang palitan at wag ng magbigay ng kung anu-ano pang reason. Ang haba nga nun details ng parts na hindi kasama sa warranty booklet nila and hindi kasama dun ang rack-end and tie rod. Sinusunod mo naman regular preventive maintenance sa Pitstop then they have no reason to deny such claim under warranty.

Sabi nung may-ari ng Pitstop itatanong daw nya muna sa mga Korean counterpart nya kung pwede i-claim. Walang definite date na sinabi kung kailan kami babalikan. Will ask him again but kung ayaw talaga i-honor yun warranty then have to formalize my complaint sa DTI. At least kung ano man ang ruling na gagawin clear sa lahat ng concerned kung ano yun dapat or hindi dapat i-honor ng warranty.

We do appriciate your opinion about this however it was told that it will be verified with our korean supplier regarding your concern, rest assured we will take action on this as soon as possible. You could send me a message please let me double check, what Plate number, date of service for me to check your service record

Thank you

Thanks hasmin for replying and upholding my warranty claim. Tie rods ands rack end changed to new ones under warranty. Although it took time for Pitstop to evaluate things and wished it could have been done sooner Im glad that they fixed everything that needed to be fixed last sat.

[mda]

Great job. Looks like all sorted out naman.

[bratski]

All's well that ends well.
By the way ceepawn, ano ba uli naging symptoms para ma diagnose na sira yung turbo wastegate?

[ceepawn]

Pigil yun takbo bro halos walang hatak, dapat shifting na sya around 2k rpm on light pedal pressure pero umaabot pa ng 2k+ yun rpm kupad pa din nung GS and ang tagal mag-shift to the next gear. Hirap pa paabutin ng 100km/h kahit mag-isa ka lang sa van.

Nung napalitan na ng wastegate, magaan na yun takbo, shift na sa next gear before or around 2k. Hindi hirap paabutin hanggang 160km/h. Diesel consumption also improved

Thanks for the heads up, iniisip ko nga baka may problem din engine ko because i think im expecting too much hehe. Yung symptoms na dinescribe mo wala naman sa gs ko. Siguro i was expecting it to take off like a rocket, ramdam ko kasi yung bigat ng van and feeling ko parang so-so lang yung hatak.

For those who have 12-seater GS rides,- madali lang bang tanggalin at ikabit ang 4th row of seat nito?

Our company is planning to buy a 12-seater GS and we're looking at using the GS as people hauler for employees most of the time and to pick-up/send-off executives(with their big luggages of course) at the airport once in a quarter.

TIA

Happened to me.. From same dealer.. around 40k kilometers.. Maayos yan bro pero mind you.. Di na yan tatakbo gaya ng dati before yan mangyari.. Till 160 km/h n lng yan.. Pero 0-100 kph okey pa nmn.. Pero top speed wag ka na umasa.. I jst accepted it na lng.. Tutal mabilis na ang 120 Kph, pero masarap sana kung kaya pa ng 180 kph.. Hehe.. Sa friend ko monty 2.5 gls lng.. Almost same mileage kaya pa 180 sa sctex.. Gs ko sagad 165 yata un.. Ayaw na umangat..sasabog n ata makina.. Ramdm ko me mali sa makina pero tpos na warranty ko eh.. Sorry n lng ako..

Medyo mataas pms nyo. Ask your customer if they want your additional chemicals etc for cleaning. Mataas din cost of labor. And please educate your supervisor well, wag puro komisyon ang nasa isip sa service, be humane. Pare parehas lang tyo naghahanap buhay. Mas ramdam ko ang malasakit nung dati supervisor: malaki katawan, kesa sa bago. Okey lng kumita pero sana iparamdam din sa customer na patas lang ang laban. I have nothing against pitstop. Love ko nga yung may ari si sir donald kase siya nagdidiscount agad. Mabilis decide. And regarding sa warranty, honestly malabo sa totoo lang. Muntik na din ako mapagawi sa gusto mangyari ni sir ceewin. Paki ayos mabuti. Thank you.
More power pa rin sa pitstop motors. Best value naman talaga mga GS nyo.

4 bolts lang ang tatanggalin for the 4th row.

And with this, mukhang madali nga lang tanggalin ang 4th row....Thanks bro.boybi.

Any other input from other 12-seater GS owners, please?

TIA.

I think the gray market 11-12 seater GS rides just slide them out.

Yes madali lang tanggalin, 4 bolts lang according din kay boybi. I also removed mine pati yung rollers, kaso madugo tanggalin yung rollers dahil may special screw pa na gagamitin.

Alarming and at the same time irritating yang balita na yan. So dalawa na pala kayo na nahirapan mag claim ng warranty sa pitstop. Hopefully sana wala akong claim, dahil ayoko naman magwala pa doon kung sakali hehehe.

[boybi]

Di ko na tinanggal ang rollers. Para anytime kelangan ibalik 4th row, madali nalang. Hindi naman istorbo yung rollers.

baliktarin ang question, how about if you want to add 2 seats to a 10-seater GS, possible ba? minsan kasi like last mother's day 11 kami kulang ang seats e. let's say buy ng surplus na car seat, meron ba mabibili na rails?

[yebo]

nag-interior detail ako kanina, ang daming black ants sa loob. wala naman akong makitang food sa loob. nag-nest lang sila sa ilalim ng carpet. baygon waterbase ang katapat nila. tataya ako lotto mamya hehehe!

[yebo]

mga sirs, problem nyo din ba yung di makita ang nasa likod pag gabi kasi naka-super dark ang tint? ano ba solution dito, other than the obvious na palitan ang tint ng medium dark lang hehehehe! i'm thinking of swapping the reverse light with the signal light na e, bakit naman kasi ang super small naman ng reverse lamps ng GS. or even piggy-backing another P21W lamp on the signal lamp bulbs so that i will have both the reverse lamp reflector and signal lamp reflector lighted up when the gear is in R. wala ako tiwala sa reverse camera ko kasi, kita lang nasa likod ng bumper pero di ko naman kita ang nasa side. isip isip...
