    Hello. its been 78 days since I acquired my HiLander XTRM (2000 model)

    I've got a list of questions na sana masagot ng mga XTRM gurus.

    1. Medyo nag-s-swerve yung vehicle, try ko ipa-wheel align pati rotation this weekend, baka ma-ayos
    2. Just had my change oil last week. bakit ganun, b4 ko pa-change oil, nde naman nag-l-light up yung oil symbol sa panel guage, ngayon everytime na mag-f-fresh start ako, naka-light up. pero after a few seconds, nawawala din. normal lang ba to or do i need to put in additional oil?
    3. Nakaka-praning yung rattling ng middle seats, may known solution ba to?
    4. yung sunvisors ko medyo maluwag, nasisikipan ba to? minsan kasi pagnalulubak bigla na lang bababa. nakaka-distract.
    5. Mausok sobra, I'm not sure kung normal to pero its far from what I've experienced with our other vehicles. tapos white pa yung usok. someone told me na unburned fuel daw to. how do i go about this?
    6. Planning to put bullbars (conservative ones) and a roof rail. advisable ba?
    7. How much pa-tint? yung mura lang pero ok kung pwede.


    Haaaay. yun po muna. Thanks in advance. sensya na kung medyo madaming tanong.

    ok sir here is my answer sorry ha late reply.. pero this is what I learned from my revalida.

    1.) swerving - yes there is a problem swerve. this is due to the mis aligned CHASSIS (gago kasi ang sa indonesia) you can test the uneven ness by speed brake test. run at 40KPH then fight the steering wheel. hit the brakes. you will notice na biglang lumiliko. you can correct them by alignment and camber. remember you are not to follow the parameters to be set by the wheel alignment dahil paling ang chassis mo... mine also has a problem swerve to the left ako..

    2.) Yes this is normal assuming fresh start ha.... when you start the engine given 5 seconds the light turns off. succeding starts wala na siya... this is practically normal. matakot ka kung natakbo ka at biglang umilaw... baka no oil or the oil sensor has the problem normail lang yan sir

    3.) rattling middle seats ???? it is a know problem for the highlander hindi na siya legend totoo na yan.. now I've posted here way back before about the remedy to be done it is due to the pivot bolt ang problem. find it using our search function kung di mo makita punta ka sa one of the EB nang DC.org at ako magaayos sayo niyan

    4.) Sunvisors - opo. naayos yan pero sakit nang sunvisor na yan pag ginagamit mo nang madalas lumuluwag. you can fix it by titghtening the screw pero wag masyado higpit dahil baka di mo na magalaw. you will notice na medyo loose siya pag hinigpitan.. alalay higpit ulit

    5.) yes.. this is pratically normal given the fact the the compression pressure of the highlander is different from the Xwind.. lakas talaga ang buga niya... for the white smoke it is ok.. meaning fully combusted ang fuel at air.. pag maitim you can first clean the AIR CLEANER 60% nang itim tangal diyan pag malinis yan. pero since white siya ok lang yan.

    6.) Bullbars - NO ROOF RAIL - YES pero still this is up to you... if

    7.) sa aking POLAROID na super black 2,500 with out the front ang buong salamin ay 1K

    Hope to help...

    Wow! talk about comprehensive. thanks sa reply... try ko sikipan yung sunvisors. yung sa pivot bolt naman, nilagyan ko ng elastic rubber, ayun, tahimik na. pero pangit lang tingnan pa sinilip, pero ok na din yun. I have budget for 1 "extra" land as of now and im still thinking kung ano ang mas important. alarm/keyless, tint or roof rail. iisa-isahin ko lang muna para kumpleto sa xmas.
