Nice unit, I like the fender mirror.

I also like this one, Fender Side Mirror from Carryboy, but I haven't seen any Crosswind having this fender mirror.



This cost Php2,300 including installation from carryboy banawe. So what do you think? will this look good on a sporty Crosswind variant like an XUV or Sportivo?

Thanks po sa info. Another followup question po if ok lang.

With regard sa Ac I think it just has a dirty evaporator. since ung pressure ng freon is still at 40-PSI kung my butas un dapat depleted na ung freon.

Ung sa evaporator sa harapan medyo madali baklasin. but ung sa Likod medyo palaisipan.. ung evaporator sa likod. there are 2 tubes. one has a connector one doesnt. kelangan ba putilin ung isa , tas lagyan na lang connector pag balik?

We fix AC ksi but ung pambahay lang. so kami na lang din ang nagseservice ng ac ng mga sasakyan namin. the thing is di ko lang alam kung paano ung assembly ng rear eveporator ng crosswind. pag putol ko baka my bigla pala na connector sa ibang parts durog diba. hehehe

ung sa peanut lights naman po, paano po ba babaklasin ung dashboard para macheckup ung lights. then ung sa AC switch po paano po palitan din ung lighs noon. meron po ba kaya na website na my walkthrough with regard to dismanlting the assembly?

then ung sa Headlight din dati ung left side un ung ok ung brightness ilaw then ung sa right mahina. (ung parang umiilaw but power is mahina. ngaun naman nagpalit naman. ung sa right naman ung malakas and ung sa right naman ung humina. i have checked the fuses mukang ok naman po.

And Sir benz ayos tong post na crosswind nyo po. asteeg ung porma.

It looks good too... my only reservation is why does it look like it's installed on the LH side of the fender? Being a LHD vehicle, it's should be on the RH side of the fender.

Other than that, it is a nice functional accessory to install on a sporty Crosswind (XUV/Sportivo) --- sporty din naman yung design nung fender mirror

Sana pare. That would not entail much cost from your end if cleaning lang kailangan.

Ung sa evaporator sa harapan medyo madali baklasin. but ung sa Likod medyo palaisipan.. ung evaporator sa likod. there are 2 tubes. one has a connector one doesnt. kelangan ba putilin ung isa , tas lagyan na lang connector pag balik?

IMHO, i would still suggest for you not to take the risk of DIY the cleaning when you have doubts doing it. Bring it to a DENSO Service Center for cleaning. Then what you could do, you could watch them on how they do it so next time, ikaw na lang gagawa (DIY).

Yung sa peanut lights naman po, paano po ba babaklasin ung dashboard para macheckup ung lights. then ung sa AC switch po paano po palitan din ung lighs noon. meron po ba kaya na website na my walkthrough with regard to dismanlting the assembly?

I have seen a dashboard of a Crosswind dismantled before but I don't have proof to document it. hehehe! No site to share too. But as I remember it, you need to remove the dashboard face first. Having removed that, you would have access to remove the instrument panel and the switches.

Then ung sa Headlight din dati ung left side un ung ok ung brightness ilaw then ung sa right mahina. (ung parang umiilaw but power is mahina. ngaun naman nagpalit naman. ung sa right naman ung malakas and ung sa right naman ung humina. i have checked the fuses mukang ok naman po.

Since it's working, it's not the fuse. I fear it might be grounded or may need to replace a relay -- for I (and maybe you) is not sure if the previous owner did some "magic" with it's electricals. This is electrical stuff. If you're not adept to it, best to let an experienced electrician take a look at it. Definitely, that's not normal.

And Sir benz ayos tong post na crosswind nyo po. asteeg ung porma.

Thanks partner. My friend and I sure hope it goes to good home.

It's just a picture I got from the internet but a friend of mine installed exactly this fender mirror (RH btw) on his Pajero, I was about to have it installed also but when I learned that they have to drill two holes in my right side panel I hesitated.. pero now I want to have it installed too for safety reasons, dinikitan kasi ako ng Cher na bus when I went to Alabang last Saturday, buti just a minor scratch on the fender. Helpful kung meron ako nito. I'll post pics as soon as makapagpainstall ko nito to share it with everyone.

Syangapla nakakita rin nito sa Alterra.. looks good din..

Nakaka inlove talaga ang crosswind. :D Sirs, ask ko na rin pala, normal lang ba yung may usok pag umaga? medyo grayish yung color ng smoke eh. Pero kapag nakaka 5kms na takbo na, wala na yung usok. Normal po ba yun? 2005 model po na crosswind XT yung sa akin (actually, sa parents ko yun, hiniram ko lang) 58,000kms na po yung odometer reading nya. Nung nag change oil ako last week, dun ko lang napansin na sobra yung usok. Prior to change oil, ang alam ko meron din pero mahina lang at kulay black talaga. Ngayon gray color na at medyo matagal bago mawala. (Shell Helix diesel super 15w40 po yung oil ko. dati daw ninto castrox gtx diesel daw)

[anthon05]

hi .. saan meron Denso? pasig or mandaluyong area meron ba?

how much cleaning for crosswind?

yung sa usok sa akin ganun din sa morning.. mdyo maitim pag tumakbo na or mainit na engine its less na and parang mas maputi na usok.

[Benzmizer]

hi .. saan meron Denso? pasig or mandaluyong area meron ba?

how much cleaning for crosswind?

Check this listing out. There is one in Pasig.



Call them so tehy could give you an estimate on how much it would take to have your Crosswind's aircon system cleaned.

[anthon05]

hi thank you... i did call the one in pasig. Cleaning is 2800

* Sirs Benz, XTO, Gerbo

Hi Mga Sirs,

Update ko lang kau with regard to my questions earlier this week. Kwento ko na lang what happened I hope makatulong sa iba.
I tried inquiring sa nirefer ni sir XTO sa banawe with regard to the electrical of my ride. But I got no response since siguro nag text ako madaling araw.

It turned out that night on my way to the office I noticed that my headlights were dead, only the dim lights and the fog lights were on. It was raining that night and luckily I was able to go to work with no hassle, from novaliches to makati. I asked some of my colleagues where to and if they knew any car electrician, One said that he has one in paranaque but it is way out of my way. So then he suggested Auto central in Cubao. Since dadaanan ko talaga un pauwi, I checked it out.

Found out that the prev owner upgraded to a Blue HALLOGEN bulbs, and they did not install the relay and the Headlight fuse that I just replaced got busted again. I was informed that the Conversion (installation of the headlight relay) would cost me 1200 bucks, I had no other option but to take it since I need to use the truck the next day. The electrician said he would have to dismantle the dashboard since he need to configure the switch if not, the bulbs might get shot eventually. So I watched him dismantle it and had him do his thing (marunong na ako mag kalas ng dashboard ko hehe)

Then I examined the Gauge Cluster then I found out that other led options were actually blanks.

Leds that has Peanut bulbs:
1. Signal lights
2. Check Transmission
3. Oil (My isa pa kaso di ko alam ung tawag…)
4. Hand Brake
5. High Light indicator (Headlight)

Leds that doesn’t have peanut bulbs
1. Low Fuel
2. Automatic Transmission Gears (A/T po ung XTO ko)
3. Check Engine
4. Heater
5. Open door indicator wala talaga na option.


Then I asked them why, my Isuzu Xwind XTO don’t have peanut bulbs on the, Low fuel indicator and the Open door warning (parang wala nga tong option na to kahit sa mga slots for bulbs) plus sa A/T leds.
Ang sabi sakin wala daw talaga ung mga connections na un. Pwede daw lagyan kaso matrabaho.

Ta sung sa A/T na leds wala talaga cable na naka abang, baka daw sa Isuzu na daw talaga ipapakabit. Tas ung sa pintuan ung Ilaw lang daw talaga sa ceiling ung indicator para madetect na my bukas na pinto. Parang nalunkot lang ako ng onti since ung mga indicator na importante pa ung wala.

Ung sa A/C evaporator sa likod tinuro na din sakin kung paano babaklasin. O-ring type lang pala ung connection and it can be dismantled sa ilalim. So since Weekend naman ngaun ako na ang dadale ng ac ko. Kung successful pwede na din kami ang magservice ng mga ACs nyo. Un lang dadalhin nyo sa shop namin sa bahay (Nova) hehe.

End result:
Ung Blue halogen Headlights sobra na liwanag nagging Super white, pinalitan ko na din ung Dim bulbs ko sa white LEDs it cost me 250 sa kanila. No time to canvass na inaantok na ako and my shift pa ako kinagabihan. Tas ung AC Switches light un talagang busted na ung bulb. So pinalitan na din. Nagastos ko lahat lahat 1500 sabi sakin ng katropa ko mura na daw un. Pero parang namamahalan talaga ako. Magpapaconvert an din daw tropa ko since nabanggit ko sa kanya

We compared kung gaano kaliwanag ung headlight ko ngaun. We compared it sa Xenon HID nung tropa ko oto nya is 2007 Vios
Halos parehas na lang ang lakas. Meron ka mapapansin pero sobrang slight. Advice din sakin ung sa Fog lamp ko wag ko na daw pabago sa super white kasi di daw advisable since it bounces daw on asphalt.

Ung isa kop ala fog light my reservoir ng tubig sa loob di ko tuloy magamit kasi baka mag short. Nag uulan kasi eh. Magkano kaya palinis un. Pwede kaya na ako na lang din dadale noon?

Maraming salamat pos a tulong ninyong lahat!

Hello Ulit Mga Sirs,

Update ko lang po kayo,

Success ung pag linis ko ng AC ng xwind ko.
Sobra dumi na pala ng evaporator sa harap.and somehow nagyeyelo na cya. but ung sa likod tolerable pa ung dumi wala pa talaga dust build up since private naman. di mashado gamit ung sa likod.

Panis... hehe
Ang mahirap lang is kung malaki mga braso mo and kulang ang size ng open wrench mo na available kapag babaklasin mo na ung mga tubo sa hood.
Un kasi ang nangyari sakin, I had to use one adjustable wrench with one open wrench para lang luwagan ung mga connections ng tube sa napakasikip na allowance, so kelangan talaga maliit lang ang braso mo hehe. And pag babalik mo na alignment lang
ng drainage sa harap.
Other than that wala naman issues na akong na encounter.

End Result:
Ung buga ng hangin na dati na number 4, ngaun number 1 na lang. pag number 4 naman aabo sa mga naka upo sa pinaka likod. hehe. sa lamig naman steady lang. I loaded optimal freon pressure for now since malamig naman panahon. pag uminit onting adjustment na lang or dagdag sa pressure. un lang po...

Hi!
Good day to all of the guys here.
I hope you can still remember me.
The first time I post my inquiry in this forum, I was gearing to buy an xti. After studying the contents of this forum, I think I should go with the xto. As Benzmiser say, the buyer should return the condition of the unit to "0". So, if I spend 600k on xti or xuv, I think I should go with the xto at 400k so I can use the excess on returning it to "0". But until now I haven't found a unit that's fit for my budget. Those buy and sell dealers are so fast on buying the unit with a 400k+ mark. Or should I say, mabagal lang ako. Tomorrow I'll be inspecting an xto. I'm backtracking on the tips of you guys on what to check on buying a used car. Hey Benz, thanks for the effort on finding one for me. Sana makakuha na ako before end of the month. Hehehe, its my birthday on 10/01 and its a gift for myself.

Regards to everybody!

Hi Joey. Let me check one unit I saw for sale. But i believe it's an '01 or '02 XT made to look like an XTO. I'll let you know ASAP how much it's being marketed.

[holdencaulfield]

good day sirs! i urgently need your expert's advice regarding my XTO's tires. what is the "stock" tire size of an XTO? i currently have a 205/65 r15 on my XTO and i'm planning to "heighten" it up a little bit by putting 205/70 r15 on it.
-sirs, do i need any adjustments like in the torsion bar to be able to mount my ride on 205/70's? or any needed modifications?
-will the performance of my XTO change, if not drastically?
-or would you suggest that i just stick with the tire size that i have right now (205/65)?

salamat po sa mga sagot!

btw sirs, does anybody here used or is currently using "wanli" tires? the store owner's insists that i try them coz i saw a couple of customers buying them coz they say they're durable and they're almost dirt cheap, selling for only 2200php each! may tawad pa if you get 4!
i need your feedbacks on this "china" tires.

salamat po ulit ng marami! and more power to crosswind users!
