Crosswind XT 2006 inquiry..

[collit99]

mga sirs, na solve na ba yung problem regarding the radiator and the exhaust pipe ng x-wind? i'm planning on getting one kasi e....

thanks in advance!

[BeetOls]

AFAIK, yes...i'm just not sure which batch was it fixed...i'm no crosswind owner so let's wait for the others to reply

for the meantime, you can use the search feature..just type crosswind, the said problem has been discussed fully hundreds of times already...including fixes.

try asking different dealers, i'm sure makakakuha ka ng info re. your query. medyo kulit-kulitin mo. pretend that you've experienced such troubles and ask for assurance. hth

[collit99]

thanks sa advice!

i already searched the forum, kaso old models (2001-2003) ang mga crosswind na may problem... i was thinking if is it really fixed by isuzu ... i wouldn't want to spend almost 800k then after a 6 months i will have a headache.

i called my agent at kinulit ko na din sabi, wala na daw yung mga problem na yun... gusto ko lang maka siguro at malaman sa mga bagong owners(2005-2006 models) kung talagang fixed na yung mga problema.

thanks a lot guys!

judging from the posts...or lack of it... mukhang na-solve na. or pwede ding konti na lang bumibili ng crosswind. Yung sa huling report ng vehicle sales ng CAMPI, nalaglag na sa last place ang isuzu sa AUV sales, with toyota leading by a thousand miles followed by Adventure.

ayon dun sa kasamahan ko na naobserbahan yung engine ko at naka-obserba din ng bagong crosswind (2005 model vs. my 2001 model), mukhang binago daw engine mounts... di na daw kasing lakas mag vibrate yung makina ng bagong crosswinds compared to the older crosswinds. yun naman kasi ang root ng radiator cracking and muffler cracking problem..excessive vibration ng makina during startup and during low idling. sa totoo lang, nakailang beses nakong nagpaayos ng section B ng muffler ko, matibay naman yung bakal ng muffler, at gumamit na rin ako ng matibay na klase ng bolts, pero wala pa rin.. sa lakas ng vibration ng makina, masisira talga muffler or radiator mo. the real solution is to minimize engine vibration which is the root cause of it all.

kung tama tong analysis na 'to...ang nakaka badtrip lang sa isuzu...bakit di nila ginawa sa lahat ng crosswind na nilabas nila. bakit di sila nag recall... I even wrote them and their head office in Japan... pero walang nangyari. pweh! :swear: matibay nga makina nila at matipid..but their aftersales service really suck big time.

i'm a crosswind owner. i never encountered the radiator problem. i did encounter the muffler problem. a flexible pipe fixed that.

actually i think ok naman na ang crosswind ngayon. but have you thought about innova ? mas bago ito. regarding d4ds problem is another question. When you think about the overall points disregarding their problems... innova would win it.

I bought my Isuzu Sportivo A/T last Jan.05 so far yun lng exhaust nag crack after 3-months, simple welding lng solution until now wala ng problema, 15th plus na mileage ko.

[collit99]

sori di ko na banggit na gagawin ko palang garage/transpo service.

ok so mas madaling masira ang radiator ng A/T kaysa M/T due do vibration? tama ba ako?

gusto ko sana ng innova kaso di yata pwedeng gawin garage/shuttle service yun e and besides yung D4D engine nya may problem sa uri ng Diesel natin...

thanks again sirs!

I haven't experienced the radiator problem at all on our '04 XUVi. Going on 65,000 km now. Had the exhaust fixed a number of times under warranty. Only headache besides that is an alarm/keyless entry that has never worked properly.

I know a couple of '04-05 Sportivo facelift owners (Sportivo face, but XT model). No word on headaches, but apparently, the "new" softer ride is almost as bad as the old ride, as one or two have given up on the ride and have traded in.

How much is the new XT? The package looks enticing, but only if we're trading up frm an XUVi.

[baurtwellXUV]

bro may promo ata sila or may nilabas sila n XT model na may monitors sa headrest. affordable na sa lahat. nabasa ko add sa newspaper...

[collit99]

800K for XT yun lang ang kaya ng budget ko e.

ok will try to ask my agent about that(promo)

[x-wind]

transpo service pag isipan mo maigi 101 times 800k di biro investment yan sa shutle lalo na kung di ikaw my dala.

experience sa 1 unit dina mabalik ROI mo ng buo. korek every day boundary but every 5k kms gastos then another gastos pa for maintenance. lalo pa kung yun boundary yun huhulog mo sa banko.

[niky]

Depends on your clientele. Kung marami ka nang connections, you can get ROI within a year or two.

Pero kung FX lang or shuttle service lang for one client, medyo mahirap yun.

[collit99]

actually hindi talaga ito pure transpo service.. para na din may service ang mag-ina ko kung may pupuntahan sila at pang haul ng mga paninda(bakery at sari-sari)... kung baga ibabayahe lang para may pang dagdag sa monthly mortgage kasi sayang naman kung naka stand by lang sa bahay...

my brother-in-law has connections para doon sa mga nag rerent going to hotels,airports or out-of-towns.

my father and brother-in-law ang magiging drivers.

hindi talaga ito means of living, ok lang na saktong pang mortgage yung boundary at matutulungan ko pa ang brother-in-law ko na magkaroon ng extra income pati na din ang father ko...

[niky]

If that's the way you want to go, that system works. That's how my cousin is paying for their new van. Go for it nga!

Pero, advice lang, remove the TV monitors pag rental... baka sirain ng clients ... unleses of course, they request it.

or if you have a million to spare, go Everest.

[jagxtrm]

or if you have a million to spare, go Everest.

nyah! an everest for a transpo service! naku sayang lang!

suggestion ko crosswind XT na lng ... cgurado ka pa sa parts (marami sa banawe) and kayang kaya i-DIY ang repairs!

[XTO]

even XL variant will do better. IMHO

[collit99]

everest no moolah for that bro... baka madalas mahuli yung driver ko.

anyway thanks sa lahat ng input nyo guys! it really helps will be buying this second week of March.

i'll give you feedbacks...

salamat ulit! i when i get back there in PI i will join the Isuzu Club and hope to meet some members here.

[dieselNUBI]

heheeh sori sa way off suggestion ko. =)

kung gagawin service i suggest get the lowest variant.

try adventure or crosswind. Remind ko lang na maingay ang engine ng isuzu, if your not familiar with isuzus then maninibago ka talaga.
