Guys share ko lang experience ko with a Tire shop in blumentritt last saturday. I had a flat tire so i used my spare tire but since I was going to the province I need to have my tire vulcanized just in case i get a flat tire along NLEX, to make the long story short I look for a shop and find one in blumentritt of course naghanap ako ng shop na may machine to remove the tire from mags para di magasgas. etong shop na to stupid ung gumagawa kahit may machine na ginamit ngagasgas parin ung mags ko. tpos eto pa pagdating ko sa probinsya flat din ung gulong na pinavulcanize ko kaya pinaulit ko pa.

Kinausap ko pa ung boy na gumagawa bakit nagasgas ang sagot sakin ganun daw talga magagasgas pag nagvulcanize, stupid talaga, nakakainis yun na nga lang trabaho nila di pa magawa ng maayos, literally nagbayad ako sa walang kwentang shop na yun para gasgasin ung mags ng crosswind ko.. tsk.. tsk.. 100 lang bayad mas mahal pa magpagawa ng mags.. sarap batukan nung gumawa. Tomorrow I'll try to get the name of the shop and post a picture, para matuto ung shop na yun to take care of their customers.

hello guys...may konti lang ako katanungan about fan clutch..talaga bang kapag fully warmed up na ang makina eh malambot na ikutin yung fan (with own hand at engine stopped) pero kapag malamig naman ang makina in the morning makunat naman siya...para din yata itong thermostat kasi may mga fins for heat spreading tapos may spring dun sa harap niya...kasi yun sa akin halos free wheel na kapag maiinit na yung makina balak ko sana top-up ng silicon oil..baka pwede po pashare ng experience nyo...summer na kasi mahirap na baka magoverheat kung free wheel na yung fan clutch ko..thanks

i have recently installed the flip down monitor/dvd player on my xuv and the back passengers are enjoying the long ride on our summer outings....

i just recently bought a 2nd 2004 isuzu crosswind xuvi a/t for 500k lady owner and driver (she is now migrating in japan since he married a japanese guy) 120+++ mileage casa maintained. it is my 1st time own an a/t. i have some questions in mind mga pre..

1) ok lng ba gamitin ko ung xuvi a/t panghila ng sasakyan ni erpats kng sakaling masiraan cya sa daan? (nissan pathfinder po ung sasakyan nya 1996 model)

2) meron ba d2 my idea kung magkano kng papalitan ko ung bench type front seats ko at palitan ko din ung side mirror ko na pwede mafold?

3) since i'm from davao city sino po sa inyo ang taga davao?

thank you more horsepower mga xwind....

1) ok lng ba gamitin ko ung xuvi a/t panghila ng sasakyan ni erpats kng sakaling masiraan cya sa daan? (nissan pathfinder po ung sasakyan nya 1996 model) - I don't see the reason why not. But since yours is an AT, it'll take a little more effort doing so (vs. a MT)

2) meron ba d2 my idea kung magkano kng papalitan ko ung bench type front seats ko at palitan ko din ung side mirror ko na pwede mafold? - More than the worry of how much the cost of conversion from a bench-type to bucket-type front seats, the amount of effort converting would be a pain (thou not impossible). Sourcing parts for such conversion will also be a challenge. The sideview mirror with signal/retract is possible. A little bit of mods lang on the harness (for the signal and retract feature) is needed.

You're most welcome.

If there is any consolation, I personally liked the bench-type seat (since I has a '03 XUVi AT before). You make full use of the 1st row area. I drive. My wife at passengerside. Her HUGE bag between us.

... that you can't do with bucket-type seats.

mga gurus of tsikot

, newbie inquiry lang...

question for an A/T 4JA1 Turbo engine, what would be the normal procedure in turning off the engine after running for an hour at around 50 - 60 kph speed? How many minutes do I need to run it in idle before turning it off?

Kasi sa akin ang practice ko ay to put it on idle for around 5 minutes bago turn off to make sure the normalized na yung turbo... is this ok or I'm just wasting fuel???

paki klaro naman po... thanks in advance...
