2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[IMm29]

*materomarco,
IIRC, yebo's not trooped to a casa for a PMS ever. As for me, I've gone for the 1, 5 and 10 tkm check up at 3 different casas. Kinukulit na akong bumalik for the 15t kms, pero I'd gotten an oil change already at 14t plus. And when I took out the dipstick after the oil change, it was really clean!

[Horsepower]

Can anyone explain to me, bakit uso sa Hyundai ang mag palit ng DECAL?

I guess to hide the fact that they're driving a hyundai (back when it was still embarrassing to be seen in one).

You wouldn't change the decal of a Ferrari or a BMW, would you?

[yebo]

* Yebo - Yup, ang mahal talaga sa casa, for your GS, do you maintain it outside of casa na? how many kms na when you decided na "tama na, sobra na"

last casa PMS ko was at 15k km, cost was 12.5k. e nilinis lang naman ang brakes saka inspection daw.

20k pm was done at GTS congressional. change oil (full synthetic), oil filter, fuel filter (kahit hindi pa due), inspection of underchasis (which i did with their mechanic), and normal checks on brakes, power steering, etc. brake pads replacement was done at GoodGear pasay. i had both front and rear pads replaced kahit pwede pa ang rear pads. and then i took it for an italian tune up, hataw papuntang baguio at 4am.

mas mataas pa mileage ng GS ko na ginagamit lang pag sunday and monday kesa sa daily drive na sorento hehehe!

[yebo]

question lang, may naalala lang ako. where is the dip stick for the A/T oil located. parang di ko nakita last na open ko ng hood e.

[mateomarco]

* Yebo and imm29 - yup, di hamak na mas mura kung outside kasa ka magpapms...basta you have to know were to buy parts, what to do with the car and saan shop ipapagawa...I attempted to check parts sa suking shop to compare sa quote ng casa and almost 50% off ang mura...okay sana but the casa charge 30% corkage...baka next time, ill bring my own oil nalang...

Need you input...My dad is considering to buy a new van...based on experience, sino ba mas expensive and pms? Grandia or GS? Thanks!

[IMm29]

Baguio o Subic ba naman yung weekend mo bro :P

[IMm29]

Should be about the same. The Grandia is also a CRDi unit.

[skyflakes]

[IMm29]

Is this your unit, skyflakes? I'm interested in that cargo net.

These have been the wheels I've been after for so long. Sakto ang offset. But since 19s, mahirap goma niyan.

Have seen those rims on GS's in Bangkok. They did not look too puny since the units there did not have kits.

[dct]

^ ang ganda nung grille....

[skyflakes]

[IMm29]

Glad to be back on 18s. Pumorma na ulit konti.

Was looking for other 18s or 20s. Wala, hirap maghanap ng +45 ang offset.

sir imm29..tci po unit ko

[dct]

yung starex ng tita ko, twice nawalang ng hatak yung starex VGT nila. umaandar pero ayaw humataw. nung papuntang tagaytay e may truck silang sinusundan takot na daw mag-overtake baka kapusin so sinundan nlng yung truck all the way. pero nung pauwi ok na daw. malakas na ulit. sabi ko nga sana pinatay nila then buksan ulit. baka ganun lang yun. ano po kaya problem nito?

[Sindong]

sir baka low quality fuel lang issue, gaano ba katagal pinalitan fuel filter? have my GS for 2 years never had issues regarding sudden loss of power, using shell Fuel Save and shift to V-power Diesel recently.

ayaw kasi ng accelerator pedal ng GS or GRX (andna bine-baby. pag yung driver e tipid-mode yung apak yun din ang gagawin ng ecu tipid-mode din siya ayaw nya humataw. para umalis siya dun sa mode na yun need mo tapakan ng todo yung accelerator.

pansin ko yan pag si misis ko gumagamit (ng GS, our ex GRX and ex sta fe, and present sorento) medyo alanganin humataw. need ko apakan ng todo ang accelerator para humataw siya.

[IMm29]

Bro yebo,

Ganun ba ka-adaptive ang ECU ng Hyundai? Galing ah. Hehehe! Never experienced that much power loss coz most of the drivers on our old GRX had heavy feet.


*DCT,

Agree as well with sindong. When was the last fuel filter change? You could try having it replaced if it's been a while already.

[Sindong]

Almost the same lang halos ang Fuel Save at V-power a FC pero parang mas pino andar ng makina sa V-power ( or maybe naiisip ko lang)

Medyo may delay talaga sir ang GS (around 0.5-1 sec kaya kailangan isama sa pagtantya pag overtake) siguro sa acceleration due to spooling pa ng VGT kaya nadidiin tayo sa pedal pag late ang response.
