Crosswind's achilles heel

[Paulo]

[B][COLOR=darkblue]HeLLo,

After reading all your post, Nakakatakot na bumili ng Xwind.
My parents bought a XUV last few months ago.
Mukhang okay, they bought the unit sa Libis branch.

So far, okay naman ang performance. pero...siguro I will tell my drivers to be cautious. Hirap ng ganun problema.

I'm thinking of getting a new AUV, and looks like Crosswind is the best choice. Na-ayos na kaya ang radiator and exhaust problems ng Isuzu? Na-address na kaya nila ang "factory defects" na 'to sa 2003-2004 Crosswind releases?

Any input will be great. If anyone has inside information which gives a good reason for me to hold off my purchase (e.g. upcoming 2004 models, excise tax removal -- asa pa! ), leak them out please... ;)

if i have a plan to buy new XUV i will wait for first quarter of 2004 for new XUV.......................

paolorenzo,

just get the manual version. no problems at that!

Nakaka-hiya sabihin, but I only know how to drive automatic. :waah:

Thanks for everybody's inputs. Are there any other issues with the 2003 Crosswinds I should be concerned about (apart from the radiator and exhaust problems)?

x-wind, napa-isip ako sa sinabi mo. Baka naman nasa 1.2M up na ang 2004 XUV. As it is, XTRM lang yata kaya ng budget ko eh.

20vanda01, can you elaborate on TBR03/TBR02? What does TBR mean? :confused: Sorry po, medyo anga-anga pa ako eh (di nga marunong mag-drive ng manual eh :speechles ). I didn't notice if the fixed windows at the rear cab had rubber seals or not.

[x-wind]

sa kabila board may naka post 760k xuv second hand 9k km. for 8 months .............

[rsnald]

had to dig this post up for an update...

after 3 radiator replacements ( all denso radiators, sorry to anyone from denso but I have to mention the brand name... unless the mods will edit this of course)
the last one on my 50thou KM PMS -- expiry ng warranty --- at 79,000 km, bumigay na naman radiator ko on the exact/same spot na it did before. base ng lower pipe connected to the rubber hose.

since out of warranty na unit ko... emergency visit ako sa nearest radiator shop. ayun, basic welding -- w/ "tingga" or aluminum (?). I hope di na ulit bumigay.

going by history, yung 1st radiator ko gave around 20-25th KM. yung 2nd, around 35thou KM, and yung last one around 79tho KM. So parang 20-40 tho KM lang yung lifetime ng radiator... depende din siguro sa roads na dinadaanan. eniweys... update lang po. di rin pala na-reinforce yung radiator. ano kaya ang permanenteng solusyon?

[revoGSX]

hindi ba dapat covered pa rin yan warranty yan kahit nag expire na? lagi naman ninyo pinapa warranty service ang radiator ninyo at hindi naman naayos until na nag-expire ang warranty..

maiksi kasi yung rubber hose sa lower part ng radiator, not sure kung pwede pa ito habaan..

try ninyo dalhin sa denso pasong tamo besides unionbank/near toyota.. o dun na ninyo dinala dati?

normally eh palit lang din gawa sa denso pasong tamo.. yung pinapalit daw nila eh supposed to be na mas matibay na yung lower tube

[TFR]

Alam nyo may defect talaga yung radiator ng xwind series 2002. My friend owns the denso in pasong tamo that revogsx is talking about and they make and repair the oem denso radiator and a/c system for isuzu. He showed me the radiator they repair. What they do is that they replace the entire bottom part of the radiator with the reinforced one form denso japan. apparently there was a manufacturing defect with the radiator, thats why the isuzu dealers replaces your radiator without so much fuss. Silent recall ika nga. If your going tohave it repaired or replace you can go there. Coolmate corporation/ denso. Ok gawa nila don. better than casa.

[Jeepcruizerph]

Rsnald...twice lang nangyari sa akin...yung first pinalitan sa kasa.....then second pinagawa ko sa mekanik ko......up to now di pa sira.....everyday use 30km everyday ako

basta tinaas nya lang yung radiator ko para di natatamaan sa baba...may contact kasi doon sa hose sa baba kaya galaw ng galaw yung tube...i suggest doing a mild lift about 2mm-5mm.....kikil lang katapat sa butas ng tornilyo...aangat na yon

[Jeepcruizerph]

4.) Remove the Lock PIN
5.) Using the Hammer palo it papunta sayo
6.) na lumabas punasan ito para matangal ang grease
7.) Using the Masking tape mag roll ako nang patagilid hindi diretso mga 1 o 2 ikot (as per Xwind)
8.) after that ipasok ulit... paluin mo ulit kasi masikip na yan
9.) pagkapalo mo at pumasok attached the lock pin (please note na medyo may resistance yan lock pin at yun butas nang pivot bold
10.) Pag na lock na... ibaba ulit... and reattached the bolt lock..
