Where can I find a manual for 2005 GRX CRDI? Just got the unit from a buyer who now refused to cooperate after getting the money.

I just had my 75,000 km PMS today, and I asked for the quotation for the 80,000 km so I could include it in next month's budget. Grabe, I need to cough up a whopping 15,000 pesos by next month (19,000 if I opt for the aircon cleaning, which I won't do).

I checked the cost of the 40,000 km PMS when I got home, and last year I only paid 11,000 pesos for it --mukhang nagtaas ng presyo ang Hyundai Dagupan, o di kaya may additional work na hindi ko napansin.

Mahal yung 80,000 km PMS kasi papalitan ang drive belt, fuel filter, air filter, transmission fluid, engine coolant, at iba pang items maliban sa usual engine oil and oil filter.

Ang madugo nito, sabi ng service adviser sa akin, sa 100,000 km PMS kailangan palitan ang timing chain, pero wala pa silang price quote para dito kasi unit ko pa lang yata makakaabot ng 100,000 km sa Pangasinan.

Thanks bro. for the heads-up.... Indeed, you're a Certified Trailblazer, Mr. Test Pilot!

Grabe,- ours is only at 34.xT Km.... Dito na lang sa shop sa tabi-tabi ko pasisilip kung may magagawa sila sa reservoir....

Erratum: The "buyer" in my earlier post should read "seller".

just want to asked how many 1st and 2nd generation starex owners, about what type of plastic cover they have on their starex that is located under the engine...from my observation there are 2 types of covers. there is one that totally covers the enter under part of the engine up to the front suspension. while some just cover the front under part.. the first time i noticed the differences was that my uncle had a A/T 99 TCI starex.. and he had the half under cover only. when we bought our starex i looked underneath and it had the total under cover system..so i figured the A/T had the half under cover while the manual,which is what we have, had the full undercover... but now im too sure bout that because ive seen manual starex with half plastic undercovers... my main question really is why is there a difference and for what reasons are they made that way.. whats the advantage and disadvantages. sir otep i think you have the answer for this,,,, thanks in advance...

Anyway, I was looking at it yesterday and it appears that I need to remove some panels as the reservoir is inside the right front fender. Has anybody encountered this problem and has been able to do a DIY on this?

Appreciate it if you can share your experience.

TIA.

Ang STAREX namin e 2X na napalitan ng windshield water reservoir (under warranty) Common problem sya ng STAREX kasi nung 1st time pinalitan ang sa amin e 5 units ang kasabay kung pinalitan.

W/ regards sa DIY: You need to remove the right headlight assembly & the cover * the right fender, medyo tricky lang sir ang pag-remove ng washer motor. Yong sa HYUNDAI Binan sir e sanay na sanay gumawa nyan kasi nung may nakita ako ginawa na ganyan sa Hyundai San Pablo e nahirapan sila tangalin ang washer motor.

Dapat recall yan e kasi 3 Starex out of 5 sa family namin e yan ang nasira e.

Question lang po: Anong taon ang cut-off para sa Gen 1, Gen 2 at Gen 3 na Starex? I am pretty sure I know what the Gen 1 looks like, and the Gen 3 is like the one I have, but I'm confused about what the Gen 2 is. ito ba yung sinasabi nilang Millennium Edition, o yung unang labas ng "carp-faced" model?

Fellow Tsikoteers,

I am a new owner of a 2nd hand 2001 Starex. Wala naman problema sa van but I would appreciate if anyone can recommend a trusted shop to go for repair and maintenance in QC area.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the information bro.,- sumakit ang ulo ko.... If Hyundai knew that this is a common problem,- why didn't they inform their customers? I'll go check with Hyundai Alabang later today....

Papaano mababasag o magli-leak ang reservoir,- e nasa loob siyan ng tambol (right fender?).... Mahinang klase malamang ang material na ginamit nila para sa reservoir.... Mukha kasing lahat ng inilagay kong tubig (after I discovered that it was empty) ay tumapon lang...

At tsaka mahirap tanggalin yung water reservior hindi tulad ng ibang brand na madali tanggalin like for example kung gusto mong linisan madali lang kasi parang nakahook-up lang sya. ito sa starex e naka tago pa.
