Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

[denier13]

The Everest is better overall. Still doesn't ride like a car, a bit too soft and bouncy for me, but it's got more space, better steering, better off-road ability and a much more powerful engine. Throttle response is turgid, but when it goes, it bolts. The interior makes the Crosswind or the Fortuner look second-rate (though, this being a Ford, there are still cheap plastics inside) and the seats are much better than in either of the two. The third row, unfortunately, sits on the floor, so it's an uncomfortable position, but legroom is better.

The Crosswind is a slug on the highway, has no ABS, terrible steering and the body rigidity of week-old spaghetti (the doors become mis-aligned after a few years because the hinge-material is too soft). It feels like a cargo truck over rough roads, and it smokes like one after a year or two. But it's economical. Oh boy is it economical. And the engine is very easy to care for outside of the casa.

It's a matter of priorities. Needs = Crosswind. Wants = Everest. Choose accordingly.

+1 to this!

mga sir help pls,

may sinangla samin na 'tivo, matic at 39k purchased 2006, di naalagaan ng mabuti,squeaky chair sa 3rd row at driver's seat pag nadadaan sa humps at madami pang iba, ang pinaka problem, mahina ang power kasi max speed lang na naabot ko is 90km/h at almost floored ang silinyador at napansin ko din di fuel efficient, mindanao(st james)-domestic airport sa light-heavy traffic sa baclaran malaki ang pinaba ng fuel gauge.

3 months lang gagamitin kaya di pwedeng gastusan. mga sir,ano kaya pwedeng gawin para mejo bumilis at maging matipid sa gas?

thanks in advance

^^Sabi mo hindi naalagaan? Baka di pa na-change oil yan! Just do the regular 40km maintenance!

Sir Jondy,
what did you do bakit kayang mag 4kRPM nung Xwind nyo. sakin kasi 3krpm lng.

Ok ba na palitan ng cone type air filter ang xwind? sabi nung mas lalo daw iingay yung engine.

thanx xer! maybe for selected units only, mine is xti. i had it serviced last monday, sadly i had it back-jobbed nung wednesday kc pull sya sa left pag ngbbrake ako. turned out d daw na bleed ng maayos kya assymtrical ang kapit ng brakes...gud thing i insisted na ala naman problem ung brake ko before ko ipinasok, they were advising me to replace ung rotor ba yun or caliper something and could cost another 1400. i just hope ala un kinalaman with the upgrading ng brake master kit. so far ok naman na sya ngayn... by the way, i changed my tires sa 205/70/15 (205/65/15 before) and i want it bigger pa sana like 215/70/15, has anyone using this size for an xti/xt already? pls share some advice re its pros and cons. with my 205/70 my average fuel consumption is still at 13-14 regular day to day driving including occasional traffics (Alabang-QC-Alabang).

sir proper pms lang po ginawa namin sa xwind. i use catlex sport delo and be sure to use original oil and fuel filters. wag ka mag cone type sir, mag drop in filter ka nlng ng k&n. i think its 3-4k ata.

sa smoking issue naman, pls check lang po yung mga aircleaners baka po kc barado na. pag medyo na po kc barado na ang aircleaner namin nag ssmoke sya when idling saka pag bibiritin. IMHO

bago lang po ako dito sa tsikot. tanong ko lang po paano po ba proper maintenance ng crosswind xuv 2004. ito po yun aming first car kaya wala po ako gaano alam sa pag maintain. 2nd hand po ito nabili nung una po ay maayos ang takbo tahimik. makalipas ang mga 6 months po ayun maingay na sya as in kalampag sa likod o sa ilalim. di ko nga malaman sa nangagaling ang ingay. kasi po ako lang ang mag drive. parang ewan ko kng sa mga pinto na maluwag. pero sa makina naman po ok naman sya di pa naman natirik. yun problema lang yun maingay lalo na pag hindi pantay ang kalsada. nakakairita kasi marinig lalo na ikaw may hawak ng manibela.

Last week galing ako cruven angeles city to restore may rear shock ok naman tumigas nga lang 2K ang charge for 2 shocks. den pina check and estimate ko yun sa front naman dahil minsan nalubak ako at narinig ko nag wiggle yun front wheel driver side kala ko may nasira. sum up ng estimate is around 7K+ for repair. medyo malaki kaya di ko muna pinagalaw.

di ako mapalagay, the next week pumunta naman ako ng servitek para pa check ko din yun sa front nilagay sa lifter, inalog alog mga link at check kung ano pa nag test drive and sinalang sa computer wheel alignment.
ayos naman alignment at wala naman daw na damage. charge me PHP250 for check up and gamit nun wheel alignment machine.

ok pala ang servitek SFDO Pampanga.
