HARI should replace the whole engine or better yet, replace the unit with a new one!!
I also got our unit from Pitstop, can't really say much about their after sales service because I only brought the van back once for the 1st 1,000km check up. But I remember that they did it very fast, I was in and out in 30 minutes I think.

I decided to buy from Pitstop mainly because of the features in their units that are not found on local(HARI)units. An example would be the glass mounted antenna on Pitstop units rather than the ugly roof mounted ones from HARI units.(this alone was my deciding factor) Another safety feature I found on the Pitstop units is the shift lock for the automatic transmission, I found out about this by accident while checking out the Grand Starex display on the recently concluded Manila International Auto Show(MIAS), I was fiddling with the display unit then i tried to shift the gears without stepping on the brakes, I was surprised that it shifted out of Park inspite of not stepping on the brakes. On my Grand Starex CVX, you not only have to step on the brakes to shift it out of Park, but you also have to step on them very firmly.

Anyway, when I weighed all the pros and cons of Pitstop and HARI, the 5 year warranty was a major consideration for me, but naisip ko nung huli na if ever magka-problema e pahirapan din yan mag-claim knowing all the red tape thats going on in the casa and the manufacturer/distributor.
