To Local/HARI GS Owners,

How many power outlets do your units have? I have one lighter, and one supposedly below the front cupholders but this one I don't think works. CMIIW though.

I have two. Yung isa ligther, then may cover to open ung below the front cup holders. Which works naman.

Thanks! I think I may have to pry that 2nd one below the front cup holders open.

Nagpagawa na ako ng 4 copies ng stencil nung engine. Hihirit pa sana ako ng 3 pa kaya lang naubusan na kami ng LTO forms dahil nagkabutas-butas na yung mga papel sa first few attempts nung mekaniko at kita ko talagang hirap na hirap siya.

Di yata required ang pagstencil ng engine sa Korea pag nagrerenew ng registration kaya ganyan ang location ng mga engine number nila. Pati yung SF mahirap din i-stencil kaya yung casa dito sa min bago i-release ang mga brand new units, ginagawan na nila ng maraming stencil.

Kaya mahal ang singil nila dahil yun nga, ang laking trabaho para lang magstencil. Matatali yung isang mekaniko nila ng halos 2 oras sa isang minor job na not so minor, hehe.

Ayos iyan bro.,- forward looking...

Yep, para minsanang hassle na lang. I don't want to go through that process on an annual basis. Sa Japanese cars, ako lang nagsestencil, di pa tabingi.

Must be a blown fuse.


I did a DIY additional power outlet installation at the cargo bay area over a year ago:

I used an OEM Honda power outlet

Yeah, I think I've seen this mod you made. Hehehe! Am planning to install an additional socket. Where'd you tap this Doc?

Actually about the other socket in front, I'm not sure if it's working or not. I literally have to pry the cover open coz I can't do it with just the grip from my fingers. Mamaya siguro. Hehehe!

Bro.- that is a good modification as air pumps have only so much length of wire,- so it is not possible to service the rear tyres in case of emergency...

Ako, hinabaan ko na lang ang wire ng pump....

Hehehe! Tire pumps and automotive vacuum cleaners at that.

For me naman, reason I've been asking about sockets is because of cellphone chargers and possibly a media player.
- When the kids were younger and what they wanted to watch were just in DVDs, I could keep them entertained and charge my phone by plugging it in the HU's USB connector for the iPod.
- Now that they've had enough of what's in the DVDs (or just watch it occasionally), they're relying on what I have in a thumbdrive connected to the USB, relegating my phone charging duties to the lighter socket and another wire for it.
- In comes the media player. This would free up the HU's USB socket, but I need a dedicated socket for the inverter. Where to tap?

Sir where did you sourced the oem sockets? I have been looking foe those a very long time already so kindly point the way

Ganda ng pagkainstall, ang linis! Haven't I known better, makalusot yan sa akin na OEM.

OEM Honda daw. Casa maybe? Also watching out for this ;)

[mda]

Grabe, nakakatuwa yung service ng Hyundai.

Asked our driver to ask the CASA how to access the engine number on the Starex.

Bawal daw sabihin kasi they charge stenciling as a service (ngayon 2k na raw - wow, paiba iba yung rate!). Location of the engine stencil point is now being sold as part of a service? :/

Reminds me why the non-italicized H and the big T are my go to brands I guess.

Hyundai may have cheaper/quality vehicles but the service sucks big time.

[yebo]

Sa Hari dealerships lang yan malamang. Anyone tried hancars or pitstop?

Wow! Mukha talaga silang pera. It's not enough that they're one of the top brands in the market, they have to stain whatever reputation they have with this kinda sh1t.

Asked our driver to go drop by any local LTO to see if the stencil boys can help us. Pero baka in the coming days pa.

At this rate, looks like this is the last Hyundai I we will own for a while. Dealing with the HARI casas have been nothing but a source of irritation so far.

2 relatives din have their fair share of frustrations with HARI casas so I guess hindi lang talaga ako yun.

Anyway back to the GS discussions!

*IMM / yebo - the lighter socket is indeed a Honda. This is the exact one sa FD Civic namin. You can probably call the Casa to inquire on the price before asking the alternative suppliers.

Yung mga naka 2013 starex KDM galing hancars, I noticed yung HU, mabilis ang andar ng clock... Kahit ano ang reset ko, laging advance.

Guys, question regarding my grand starex. Minsan delayed ang response pag apak sa accelerator. this happens especially after driving long in highway and then stopping. Sabi ng iba fuel filter lang. Our starex has 44000 kms 2010 model. The problem is Hindi ko na rin sinervice sa CASA dahil sobrang mahal ng charge nila. I still buy orig hyundai parts from casa thou. Will they still honor my warranty if ever? thanks

Guys, help again with my GS starex. I had my reputable mechanic check my starex for the problem I mentioned above (turbo lag). Anyway, he cleaned the intake manifold and the EGR. Sobra daw dumi. We took it out SLEX today and the turbo lag still occurs. What do you think we should do next?

My mechanic told me that the next step should be to open the turbo and check. It is also possible that the actuator is dirty or broken.

Ayoko muna dalhin sa CASA dahil hindi na covered ng warranty because I did not have it serviced there. They might me charge me an arm and a leg again.

Any feedbacks? Thanks guys.

[coyco]

sir the best.. why dont you try taking it to Berrima diesel.. just search google for thier address. its a very reputable australian company..

Advance ng 2 minutes. Minsan 5 minutes pa.

Yung Camera ko lumabo na. Mahal ng papalit 3,500

*IMm29: Dito ako nagtap:



Kailangan kayang maghandle ng high wattage yung power source. Initially I planned to tap directly from the battery (with an inline fuse of course) pero when I saw this connection sa fuse box, dito na lang ako nagtap.


*CVT: Yup, very convenient siya for air pumps. Ako naman ang habol ko diyan sa rear accessory power socket ay para sa electric cooler namin for long trips:




*yebo: Pang-Honda yan sir. Merong forumer sa Honda Club Phils who goes by the handle "spugen" na nagpaparating ng parts from Japan. Sa kanya ako nagpaorder, can't remember the price though kasi 2011 pa ko kumuha sa kanya. Bale 2 piraso yan, yung socket & cap/cover assembly. Here are the part #s for reference: 39624-SZ3-003 (socket), 39620-SNA-003 (cap). HTH.


*ronw123w124: Salamat sir. Through the years natutunan ko rin mag-DIY na a la OEM install. Hehe.
