2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[ronw123w124]

Wow 5 years old na and still 15k mileage? And i thought mababa mileage ng gs ko at 4 years plus and 17k odometer

The reason for that is mayroon akong nagagamit na service sa office, an Altis and a Starex SVX, yung 2 yon ang nilalaspag namin, yung GS pang biyahe lang at pang coding sa pang hatid sa school

What's the ideal tire pressure sirs? I find the 42 front 47 rear a bit hard and ride is a bit harsher. Basta the ideal tire pressure makes the ride comfy and won't accelerate the wear and tear of the tires.

I use 45 all around but that's also in part because I'm on 18s. You might wanna try 42 all around first.

On our 17's oem hvx, 40 psi lamg gamit, try nyo bawasan kahit 2psi lang ang laki mg effect

Regarding shocks naman dont change it, ours is at 98k kms na ok pa naman, nag six years na sya last month.


Mas nauna pa nasira yung tailgate lifter kesa sa shocks, since mabigat talga tailgate ng gs

Was also able to replace the bearing assy on the sliding door dahil hindi na lapat, it allows outside to come in including fumes from Outside

But was able to change with a lot of air filter fuel, filter, cabin filter all at 10k kms interval

Ang worry ko lang eh 6 years na di ko pa napapagalaw aircon, sabi nila if not broken why fix it, kaya ayun malamig pa din.

Not to mention sangkatutak na brake pads and 1 set of rotors on its first year

One observation with our 2015 GS CVX Premium Semi Limo pala, walang brake dust sa mags when we brought it to Anvaya Cove last weekend. We were cruising at 110 kph (damn that speed limiter, but I already had it removed yesterday) and may mga sudden panic braking kami sa bandang NLEX and inside Subic. No brake dust on the mags Di kaya Hyundai was able to fix most of the problems of the GS starting on the 2014 models?

Mas ok ba 45 sa 18s sir? Natatalbugan ako masyado sa 45 hehe. Right now 37 na lang ako on my 18s

stock size ng CVX 215/70/16, ang HVX naman 215/65/17

70 series pala. thanks sa correction. anyway, pupwede kaya yung namention ko? natanong ko na ata dati kasi parang sa mga nababasa ko mahirap maghanap ng ganung size (yung stock size) na eksakto na mataas ang load rating tsaka madami din akong nabasa dito na hindi bilib sa longevity/durability ng nexen at hankook kaya ko din lang naitanong. Just in case next time kailanganin nang magpalit.

Perhaps they did. For earlier units, getting Mobis branded brake pads meant no more brake dust. The OEM ones coming with the unit were notorious for brake dust.

Tahimik yung tires bro, medyo tumagtag at pag nalubak ramdam mo yung pag crash ng suspension dahil sa thinner tire walls

Hehehe! Given na yung Bro.

Yung Sailun may konting ugong, pero for the price, lalakasan ko na lang yung radyo.

Exactly my style with our 52W x 4 HU.... :hysterical:

Palpak yung kasamang GPS unit. Minsan 30min na di pa rin maka-lock sa position. Nakarating na ako sa pupuntahan ko, di pa rin nakakaalis yung GPS

Pinalitan ko ng Kenwood with Garmin GPS yung HU ko and tinanggal ko na yung kasamang GPS unit.

Boss sorry istorbohin lang kita.

Yung gps unit nyo ba yung nasa dashboard? If yes, diba pag tinanggal yun butas yung pinadash? Saan ka nakabili ng tray nun par matakpn ang butas? Tsaka magkano dati? Yan ay kung naalala mo.

Thank you

Hi Guys,

It's flood season again, and no surprise, over a month have gone thru 2 nights of flooding in Makati -- 1 with the Prado and 1 with the GS. For the Prado, it was about knee deep, but for the GS, it was only above the gutter, so a bit mid calf/shin.

Out of curiosity, how deep have you taken your GS? It's not an SUV and is probably not a primary choice for incidental flood-fording, but it's got some height over your average sedan, so there's got to be some advantages there.

IIRC, our GS's intake is about the height of the top of the grille and the air filter box about the height of the headlight but toward the side of the engine bay. So knee deep would be doable? Just not comfortable with the lower doors being submerged until knee height, but I would think the door seals could keep the water out, assuming you're in forward motion albeit slowly. CMIIW.

[K.I.L.L.]

Deepest I've done is shin height which is a couple of inches below the knee. It was scary as it was a flash flood and the Starex was almost brand new back then so I wasn't sure where the air filter and intake was.

[CVT]

Deepest that we've gone through was about the level of the fog lamps,- but only for 3-5 meters distance, underneath the flyover in Coastal Road, just before noontime, as I turn towards Zapote-Alabang Road going towards the direction of Alabang.

It was the second day of our GS then,- the day Metro Manila was lashed by Typhoon Ondoy...

So sorry, forgot about an incident toward the 4th quarter of last year. Nailusong ko yung GS sa Buendia. Wife was following closely with the Prado. Knee deep. Sabi ni Mamang Pulis, kaya! Kaya naman, but just a bit nerve wracking coz at the first dip, there was Mr. X5 stalled in the middle of the road, and toward the first place you could turn, so did a Fortuner and Urvan. An Innova was a few meters ahead of me. Made it out ok naman.

Akin naman inabot hanggang sa foglights at the height of Ondoy, trapped kasi dito sa parking sa office, wala naman nasira except for the wiper washer motor which was replaced by Pitstop under warranty, I forgot kung nasira yun dahil sa baha o talagang defective pero Pitstop replaced it no questions asked.

Buti pa si Pitstop. Katakot-takot na hugas kamay ang gagawin ng HARI for that.
