Well, regular change oil, proper adjustments and regular cleaning of the muffler would.

dont get me wrong pare...but adjustment of what? and cleaning of muffler...do you have to make a special hole in the muffler for easy cleaning? ok ba yun?

Well, regular change oil, proper adjustments and regular cleaning of the muffler would.

NSa 57km+ na yun crosswind ko. Wala na rin sa warranty sabi ng pinagbilhan ko. 2nd owner ako. Nabili ko lang last year. I'm doing regular cleaning of muffler but time will come that you will think for one stop solution not just for band-aid approach. Kung minsan na guilty rin ako, nakaka contribute din sa pollution lalo na sa pag start ng engine. kitang kita ang black smoke galing sa muffler pati na rin kung naka neutral. pero kung tumatakbo naman wala na yun grayish smoke.

Thanks Benzmizer for the advise. I'm doing that and it seems its not enough. I'm not complaining. I'm very satisfied with my ride but I don't want to contribute to our polluted environment. Mas magastos naman kung bibili ako ng bagong car. Is there any adjustment should I do on the engine? Somebody advised me for injector pump calibration but other said it will not help since I don't encounter problem with that engine part. Thanks again. More power!

Adjustment on the Fuel Pump -- may need calibration. But check first the air filter. If clogged, it also cause excessive CO emission.

As for the "hole" in the muffler.... some actually make one but not in the muffler per se.... it's after the bend at the manifold (to make sure that water does not go to the engine) to flush out carbon deposits in the muffler pipes and resonators.

So theres no way talaga na yung walang walang itim na usok na ibubuga ang diesel engine? hehehe sorry sa kulit ko pre.

Actually, it is possible.... my 1983 240D AT does not blow black smoke, slow or fast.

As for the Crosswind, I've had a 2003 XUVi before and the only time I saw smoke come out of it is when I start it. That I consider is normal. The leftover carbon deposit in the muffler comes out when sudden pressure comes from the engine. Makes sense. But after that, during acceleration and at cruising speed, wala naman akong usok.... I have not tried putting additives or any smog-prevention gadgets on the unit but religious PMS every 5,000 kilometers. Oh, and random "Italian Tune-up" at SLEX when the opportunity permits.

just wanna share, two days ago the side mirror of my 2005 Crosswind was damage, the plastic covering the led light cracked, it was not totally damage and still functional, anyway I still wanna have it change for aesthetic reasons so called Isuzu Manila for to check the prices. guess what halos nalaglag ako sa upuan ko sa presyo ng side mirror.. the price is Php13,500 per pc excluding installation.!!! WTF!

San pa kaya pwedeng makakuha nito na mura? do you think there is in Banawe?

[casper357]

mga sir tanong lng po ako..
ano po bang magandang hid lights pra sa crosswind natin?
hindi po ba ito madilim pag-umulan?

maraming2X salamat po

[kevin3000]

^ sir wag ka maghid.. bili ka nalang nung mga philips na diamond vision.. or osram

[casper357]

madilim po ba talga ung hid?
ang philips na diamon at osram mganda po ba yan?



maraming salamat po sa reply!

[Benzmizer]

Di "madilim" and HID... actually "maliwanag"... sa kasalubong. HIDs, based on my experience, are only beneficial to dry, dark streets. Pero kapag umulan na at may kasalubong ka, parang FLASHLIGHT ang headlights mo (from the driver seat)

I would rather suggest magpa-ceramic socket ka na lang (just had my Trooper done today) and install 90/100 all weather halogens (Osram comes to mind)

Service manual (aka Maintenance Booklet) would prove worthless unless you get the one assigned to your vehicle. An Owner's Manual is transferable.

You got PM.

[TholitzReloaded]

you can just photo copy the manual.. hehehe if you just want to have your own copy then have it book bound.
