2008 Hyundai Starex (Gen. 4)

[yebo]

Scheduled for checkup na GS ko (2015 CRDI 6Speed Manual). Gusto ko lang malaman opinion nyo guys kung ano cause ng sound na 'to? Parang timing chain or timing chain tensioner.

Serpentine belt tensioner yan. Palit ka ng tensioner and serpentine belt. Tapos pacheck mo na din bearing ng idler, aircon clutch, water pump and alternator.

Why? Kasi may isang bearing sa mga yan ang maganit na na naging cause ng pagpalag ng tensioner at paghina ng spring ng tensioner. Pag natatapat dun sa spot na humihigpit yung bearing lalakas ang tension sa belt, macocompress yung tensioner bearing tapos pag naabot na yung point na mas malakas na ang tension ng tensioner kesa sa belt papalag na siya. Over time humihina yung spring ng tensioner dahil sa repeated na pagpalag. So di lang tensioner ang sira, may 1 bearing dyan na dinadaanan ng serpentine belt na need palitan. Kung tensioner lang at belt papalitan mo pero di mo naman papalitan yung bearing na maganit masisira din ulit. Swerte ka kung yung bearing ng pulley ng tensioner ang sira. Pag bearing ng compressor, o alternator, malas mo. Also need mo na pagawa agad kung ayaw mo masira lahat ng bearing na dinaanan ng serpentine belt.

Kaya mas gusto ko pa yung belt tensioner na manual na inaadjust kesa dyan sa spring type tensioner na yan. Yung manual type i-ik-ik lang yung belt na maluwag. Yan spring type nakakasira ng bearimg ng lahat ng dinaanan ng belt.

Di ka ba nadaan sa baha? If yes, then suspect the bearing on the lowest point.

Ano na nga ba ulit better brake pads for our starexes? Not oem. Yung hindi malakas mag brake dust.
Tia.

Bro - I am using the brake pads I bought (OEM daw) from Goodgear Pasay.... Am now over the 20KKm mileage (usage) reading and still have not replaced it (vs the OEM brake pads),- about 1/2 still remains as of the last 5KKm PMS.... No brake dust.

hey guys hows everybody?

Time to replace the stock tires on our 2017 GS. based sa usapan natin dati, Kumho Portran KC53 is currently the top contender that fits the load requirement of our vans. May bago ba?

Using Kumho Portran KC53 bro (all 4) for more than 2 years already,- no issue so far....

Thank you sir yebo. Baka may recommended ka na auto repair shop around QC or kahit sa banawe na matino gumawa at di taga sa presyo.

Was going to get the Maxmiller Pro's but was told that the only stocks they have left are 2018 ones.

Iisa na lang daw itong 2019.




"Wala naman daw diperensiya" yah right. haha..

So, had to settle for the Kumho Portran KC53.

Ngayon ko lang ipopost pero may 5 months ko na napapansin. Pag start ko ng starex it takes 2x "redondo" (turn - turn - run) before it starts. Today I installed a new dead bolt lock on the garage access door so ginamit ko yung hu ng starex to listen to some music. Syempre medyo malakas (volume at 15) to defeat the street noise. After 2-1/2 hours I finihsed already (steel door kaya natagalan) so I then went to the starex to turn off the hu. I decided to start the engine. Tik-tik-tik-tik-tik. Baterry is drained! I got my portable li-ion jump starter pero it's useless talaga pag too much drained ang battery. Nag-redondo lang minsan then tik-tik-tik ulit. So I installed my battery charger and then went to replace the shower curtain rod in one of the bathrooms, cleaned the bathroom, then came back to the garage. Time elapsed was 1 hour. I started the starex, 1 click start agad siya, as in i turned the key and engine was running. Not like before na 2x na redondo before it runs.

So is my battery already dying? 18 months pa lang siya but this 2x redondo started last december pa. Or is it the charging system not charging the battery enough. Or too short charging time? Most of my trips are less than 1 hour long, most times no more than 15 minutes. Pero even when we went to tagaytay and baguio ganun siya since last december, 2 redondo bago start. Starex was bought november 2018.
