**mangkaryas** · February 16th, 2008 08:41 AM

guys dont know if this is the proper thread to ask..if not pls nudge me in the right direction..im currently in the hunt for our first family van, and starex is one on the list..question..whats the difference between the starex rv and the svx variant? alin ba yung 9 seater doon? they say that the 9 seater is better annd is it true that starex is prone to overheating ..i reckon probably its those 1999 0r 98 model, but what about 2000,2001,2002 models? any inputs from you guys would be highly appreciated

..

Most HARI dealerships have a chart showing the recommended maintenance items on the wall of their service department. I know the one at Hyundai Dagupan shows the schedule up to 100,000-km, but I won't go back there until March so I can't help you out further. What my service adviser told me is that the 100,000-km PMS includes the replacement of the timing chain for the 2006 CRDI Starex.

Did the odometer on your Starex return to zero after you reached 100,000 km? Parang hindi ako makapaniwala dito sir, kasi yung sa Kia Sedona ko, pagka-lagpas nya ng 100,000-km, yung next reading nya ay 101,000-km. Ngayon ang reading nya ay 169,000-km. Maybe you are referring to when the odometer reads 999,999-km as the time it will reset to zero.

Update ko lang ang PMS experience ko sa Hyundai Alabang.... I had a full tank this morning and paid for 27L of diesel fuel....

My trip meter only registered 103Km (got a full tank before this). This means that at 5.5Km/L, worst case, I should have only consumed approximately 19L of diesel fuel.

I remember the SA of Hyundai Alabang telling me during the PMS, that they needed to do a body wash of the van because some diesel fuel have leaked out when they changed the fuel neck.

This means that about 8L of diesel fuel leaked out during the replacement of the fuel neck. Sounds like a big volume for me....Is this normal? Note that when I arrived at Hyundai, I have approx 52L of diesel fuel in the tank, so it was fairly a full tank....

Anyway, 8L of diesel fuel translates to about P290 of hidden cost. Although I got the fuel neck replaced under warranty....

Bro,- Wala akong alam na overheating problem sa 2000/1/2/3 Starex. They're solid rides....

SVX and RV are practically the same as far as I know. Change in model lang yata, but the same variant. Let's see what others will say here.....

I don't think it should reset to 000,000 after 100,000. It should go up to 999,999 before it does that.

After reading IMm29's post, I realized I made a slight error. My post should read, after 100,000-km, the next reading was 100,001-km, not 101,000-km.

Hehe, mahina kasi ako sa Geography e

to all tsikoteers.
Im currently in Doha Qatar when I made a quick reply to the inquiry. I shud've called my wife prior to that reply but i failed.
The odometer that was pictured on my mind was the one on my KMX Kawasaki motorcycle which read 77000+ kms and NOT my 2002 starex which read: 077800+ kms which was the current reading when i left for
Qatar. 21 days per year lang po ang leave ko kaya bihirang bihira lang na maka drive ng starex ko. nawala lang po sa isipan ko na may first digit pa pala na zero (0). so to all. SENYA NA, TAO LANG. ill be more careful next time (I'll be asking my wife first)
