Crosswind's achilles heel

[oliver1013]

Basta pagdating sa reliability at walang kaartehan sa crosswind bilib ako.

Ang baba nyo pala... 75k na ang XUVi namin. We've had three or four exhaust repairs, despite the flexible pipe.

wow...this is bad news. so bale wala pala yung flexible pipe na nabili ko. san mo ba nilagay yung sa 'yo pre?
ibig sabihin talagang may diperensya yung engine mounts ng 1st gen crosswinds. sabi kasi ng isang officemate ko who's familiar with my ride since I sometimes ask him to help me do some minor kalikot on my ride, mas konti daw ang vibration ng makina ng newer crosswinds vs. the 1st gen crosswinds. he got to see this first hand when he asked a neighbor of his who has a new crosswind to start his engine while the hood was open. mas konti daw yung "palag" ng makina pag inistart yung makina ng bagong crosswind.

yung sakin nung pinalitan ng mas malaking flexible pipe 2 years ago di na nasira uli. Sa CPM sa may morato ko pinalgay!!

Nga pala crosswind guys san ba ok magpa detail ng interiors ng crosswind? Yung leather ko na tan mejo di na kaaya aya ang kulay...

Guys, yung crosswind ko, 2003 model pero up till now, di ko pa na experience yung exhaust pipe problem. Medyo swerte lang siguro pero ang madalas na mangyari sa akin ay yung leatherette cover nung butas dun sa stick shift ko, laging nalalaglag, ilan beses ko na inayos/pinaayos pero ganun pa rin. Help!

ano ba ang mga 1st gen xwinds?

yung crosswind namin parang may tumutulo palagi pag naka-standby dito sa garahe... looks like oil (kinda yellowish) pero doesn't smell like it. wala nga atang amoy e. so far di pa naman kami nagkaka-problema sa 03 XUV namin. sobrang bihira nga namin magamit e... wala pang 30T km.

mine is '01 xto manual. less than a year pa lang tumagas na power steering fluid, under warranty pa pero naisahan ako ng inteco q. ave. pinabayaran sa kin yung 1 liter na castrol atf fluid. hinayaan ko na baka kung ano pa gawin kung sa loob ng bay kung nakipagtalo pa ko, mahirap na! so far radiator leak lang naging problema ko after warranty. P300 hinang sa sidewalk radiator shop (sakit daw ng highlander yun). since then wala pang problema aside sa vibrations sa 2nd row (di ko malaman kung seatbelt or seat mismo) 20,000K+ odo reading.

Yung flexi-pipe naman galing casa, so I guess a larger one from outside will work.

And yes, the newer engines still eat exhaust pipes for breakfast... :lol:

But I'm glad I've had no radiator / water separator / power steering problems, as of yet.

[phat_azz]

ano yung itsura ng tulo nung radiator leak? either that o yung power steering fluid problem yung pinost ko above. yung water separator problem lumalabas lang pag long drives... pag dinadala namin sa baguio or bicol.
