Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

[ann32]

hi im planning to buy isuzu sportivo this may too. im here in canada and just want to make sure its a good kind of a vehicle.please give comments too. im glad i found this site. thanks.....

[wildthing]

I saw the XUV and the sportivo sa casa (magkatabi kasi)....ang napansin kong difference lang ay:

1) Seat - cover only
2) HU - Sportivo have a video display for the reverse cam
3) Fog lights - present on Sportivo
4) Stainless/Chrome trims and mags - present on Sportivo

If I were to dress-up the XUV to "behave" and look like a Sportivo...I don't think it would be that costly to reach the price of the Sportivo. IMO medyo overpriced ang Sportivo.

Value for money, I think XUV would be good buy.

[XTO]

Sa mga nagpalit na ng breakpad at break shoe ng mga XUV/XUVi n'yo, ano brand ang ipinalit n'yo? Nagtanong ako sa casa, orig breakpad is ~5000 pesos 'yong breakpads pa lang.

orig bendix na lang or bosch

PM sent sir

gandang kulay yung red, bihira pa. pa pm rin no. thanks

other differences:
1. seats: sportivo have leather , xuv-leatherette
2. HU: sportivo-mp3,vcd,dvd. xuv-mp3,vcd,usb
3. LCD: sportivo only
we have a 2-month-old blazing gray 'tivo. kung ako lang, i would chose xuv but my brothers chose sportivo for the "dagdag accesories". di nako umangal kasi ako naman gumagamit lagi eh, advantage for me. hehe

di masyado gamit samin ang lcd kasi kelangan umaandar makina while watching a video, or else patay battery mo. ok siguro for long drives or traffic pero i'm here in gensan kaya alang traffic problems.

IMO - there are better alternatives to the Sportivo considering its price (Starex, Everest, Tucson, Innova, etc.). Only the base (XL) and mid-range variants (XT & XTi) of the Crosswind makes sense to me.

[mhelskie]

ann32, if you plan to get a crosswind, get an XUV, puro amenities lang nman ang difference. Kaya lang kumuha family ko ng sportivo, kse un gusto ni erpats, ang tigas ng ulo d ko masabihan kse majority ng gastos sa kanya hehe

[scrappy2069]

[artlynn]

hi im planning to buy this new isuzu sportivo this may.im here in canada.im buying one for my family. is it really a good one?please give some comments naman. im new here in this site too. thanks.... and regards.

I owned a new 2007 sportivo...OKAY NAMAN...walang problema - Satisfied naman kami sa performance, pero kung kaya mo ang ALTERA...i suggest ALTERA 2007 ANG BILIHIN MO...

[mhelskie]

kaka 10K kms lang nung sportivo namin, kung sa iba namin pa maintain ung sasakyan sa 10K kms nya, nde ba mavo void warranty nun?

[niky]

Dapat hindi, but the casa will take any excuse they can get... In the US, casas cannot void warranty if you go to an accredited 3rd party service center. Here in the Philippines, they'll void it anyway.

Up ko lang uli ito tutal halos pareho naman ang Highlander sa Crosswind series.

Ok here's my question to the Masters of Isuzu:

Nag-paayos ako ng clutch kasi nababawasan na yung fluid at parang lumalim. So ginamitan ng clutch repair kit. Ayos na siya wala ng leak kaya lang medyo tumigas na siya. Pinaayos ko uli yung adjustment pero malalim naman. May papalitan pa ba para lumambot? 70K na natatakbo at first time lang ma-repair ang clutch aside from the usual adjustment. Salamat po.

nung pinalitan clutch/pressure plates etc. etc., tumigas din clutch ko. di ko na pinaadjust. alam ko ganun talaga pag naayos yung repair kit dahil wala ng leak. kaya malambot dati yan dahil nagle-leak na nga yung goma. saka di ba pagmalambot clutch, may hangin yung linya ng clutch hydraulic system?

let's wait for the "real" isuzu gurus

[cj]

rsnald, normal ba yung matigas? malambot apakan ang clutch nang crosswind di ba?

[oliver1013]

Sakin 03 model XUVI 84k na tinatakbo nagkaproblema lang nung bago sa flexi pipe pero ng pnalitan na ng mas malaki ok na. As of now medyo nagbabawas ng tubig sa radiator pero di naman masyado significant. Bilib nga ko sa crosswind kala ko matibay talaga till I read some of the posts. Yung battery ko nga hanggang ngayon yung orig pa, may isuzu sticker pa.

[Psalm136:2]

Share ko lang yung nangyari kanina. A friend of mine phoned me at sabi nadiskarga daw battery ng Revo nya for 2 days. Nagtulak sila for almost 700 meters sa pababang kalsada, it didn't start. So nung dumating ako, nag jumper kami and it took only 3mins (idling only), sinubukan nyang i-start Revo nya, umandar. Ok lang ba yun?

Orig pa rin din battery ko, almost 34,000 odo ko. Nagpa-welding na rin ako ng exhaust pipe dahil nabali nung ini-akyat ko sa steep hill and rugged terrain ng Calatagan in a heavy downpour si Dayunyor. Buti na lang di nalglag on our way back to Laguna. Kinabukasan ko na lang nakita, nakalawit na pala.

[rsnald]

rsnald, normal ba yung matigas? malambot apakan ang clutch nang crosswind di ba?

compared sa clutch ng sedans, like ng honda city/civic, mas matigas clutch ng crosswind. naninibago nga ako everytime I used the honda city/civic company car.

138,000+ na odometer ko nearing 139,000km. ang di ko pa napalitan, yung shock absorbers. baka yun na sunod kong palitan.
battery? I'm on my second battery already. 2SM size.

*oliver
kung nagbabawas ka ng tubig, no doubt may leak yan. malamang dun sa lower pipe ng radiator. silipin mo lang. no choice but to have it welded. pretty soon, pati yung upper pipe bibigay din. that's what happened to mine.

ang pinakakabuwisitan ko talga yung exhaust manifold. bali na naman haaayy :rant:

[jarhead]

sana maglabas ng 3.0 ang isuzu sa mga crosswind or a 2.8 turbo used by the 4x4 fuego dati.. para naman maganda patakbohin ang crosswind and malakas na ang engine...

[FrankDrebin]

Hhhmmm... ganun ba talaga. Ok lang naman kaya lang matigas. Hehehe. :D

[brad_add]

baka mahanapan nyo naman ako ng xuv 2004 M/T budget ko P600 pataas. number ko 09063440025

[momo]

110,000kms na xto a/t namin, nov.2001 nilabas. nagkaproblema kami sa rotor kimikinig pag nagpepreno ,twice napalitan,tumino nung pang fuego na inilagay,under warranty pa nun. ung turnilyo sa kabitan ng muffler trice napalitan,under warranty pa din nun, turnilyo lang naman napuputol pero pati muffler pinapalitan kaso napuputol pa din talaga, kaya nung wala ng warranty naglagay kami flexible pipe,nun pa lang umayos. sa radiator naman nagkakaroon ng crack sa kabitan na hose sa ilalim, para kasing fixed radiator kaya pag nagvibrate engine parang inaalog ng hose ung kabitan sa ilalim. so far di pa kami nakakaisip ng solution, 3x na kami nagpapahinang sa kabitan ng hose sa ilalim. 80,000 nagpalit kami center link, nung 100,000km nagpalit kami tie rod kahit di pa gano kalog, kapapalit lang namin oil seal, sbi nga mekaniko sa bmd swerte at inabot 100k bago nagpalit ng oil seal. wala pa namang major breakdown, basta regular lang change oil namin every 5000km, tune-up every 15,000. every change oil nagpapalit din kami air cleaner filter,replacement gamit namin na tig- P180 lang. castrol gtx diesel langis namin at puro petron lang diesel.

kakadagdag lang namin leafspring,segunda madre, pang highlander, UE may gawa, P600/pair. gas shocks front(tokico) and rear(bilstein na pang lumang trooper ung mas box type),malaki improvement sa ride, di na maalon.tires namin pirelli P3000 cinturato 205/70R15,tahimik di makalabog.tinipid nga ung original na nakakabit kasi pang kotse lang yokohama s306. tibay na din p3000 inabot 90000km. para sa amin sulit na xwind, tipid pa sa diesel.
