Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

[ineedmorehp]

hindi ko gusto ride ng xuvi for long drive specifically xuvi 2003 turbo a/t. masakit sa katawan, steering wheel shaky - manila/batangas/manila.

i hope newer ones are already improved. based on experience btw.

[niky]

Negative? Bad ride (bouncy when empty, rough when full), noisy, exhaust and radiator wear out easily (but I think they finally fixed the radiator back in 04 or 05, and the exhaust with the current model) and the tires are slippery in braking.

But I still can't imagine anything else being as useful and as rugged as our Crosswind. The only thing, really, that you need to do to make it better is to buy better shocks for the rear and better tires (to cure braking problems)...

Congrats on your new XUV Since my budget was limited, I bought a 03' XUV with 31K odo reading. These are what I have fixed;
1. Changed rubber tube bushing (connecting the tubes from engine going to muffler) 1,600Php
2. Changed the muffler 1,600Php
3. Changed Oil seal bearing (At the lower portion of the engine) because of oil leak. 400Php(can't remember the price)+ 250 labor
4. I put extra washer below the 2nd row seat because its loose (It makes sounds on bumpy roads) but now its fixed.
5. It has a very very small leak of water at the upper rubber hose connected to the radiator in which I tightened the hose clip but the leak did not go.
Other than that, the vehicle is very reliable and impressive...
I get 14Km/l highway and 11-12km/l city. My max speed record was 142kph.

thanks mga kasama, i appreciate your feedbacks. At saka naninibago nga ako magdrive kasi mits galant 2.0 kasi yung isang drive ko, biglang bumagal takbo ko May performance upgrade ba ang crosswind?

[niky]

Better shocks. Better tires. Lower it to the same height as the regular Crosswind.

2006? So yours has the turbo already? You can try a small intercooler and exhaust upgrades for more speed, but I highly doubt you can get more than 100-110 hp out of it.

[Syuryuken]

Congrats bro!

[CrosswindxT]

Tulong lang mga ka-tsikot. bago ko sa wheels i owned a 2006 XT so far wala pa naman akong problema pero interested lang ako sa nabanggit nong isang kasama natin na advice ng mechanic nya to ask for replacement don sa mga dapat ng palitan before the warranty ends. Any specific about don sa mga things na pwedeng palitan before the warranty ends, and is this cost me too or mga labor cost lang.

Thanks...tsikoteers

mga pips,

ask ko lang kung na-encounter nyo na yung bigla tumigas steering.. nangyari kasi sa kin to.. I checked the belts and steering fluid.. ok naman..

[alx535]

Mga brds,
First time kong sasali sa forum na to, I used to be an XTRM owner, no problem dun sa ride ko until i finally decided to sell it after 4 years,now ang ride ko is an 03 model XUVi, any comments sa model na to, mga one week pa lng sa kin, 45 K ang odo reading ng makuha ko, after one week , so far so good, just the same, any comment will appreciate. tnx.

[demolester]

lubhang matagtag ata ang crosswind.. yung anong ingay sa labas ganun din sa loob.. seats , door trims etc. dunno nga dn pano mapapaganda ride esp sa concrete roads.. ramdam agad mga road imperfections..

[artlynn]

Mga repapips....
ask ko lang po...
Gusto kasi ng wife ko pumunta ng Baguio, pero afraid ako na baka mag ala pagong ang sportivo a/t ko pag paakyat na?
Kaya kaya nito ang 5 tao sakay plus yung gamit?

[eugene69]

aKYAT Kami ng Baguio last year dala ko ang sportivo namin same as yours A/t, have 6 passenger, pangpito ako as driver, didnt have much problem and no hindi naman sya simbagal ng pagong sa akyatan, just one of the advantages of diesel engine over gasoline, (low to midrange torque) plus a turbo, he will not be gasping for air at higher altidute.

Papalaki na kc pamilya kaya kailangan malaki na rin.

i suggest go for orig EGR hood guard/deflector. i got mine from myzone in banawe 6 yrs ago

Maintaining the engine will be cheaper, as parts are cheaper... you can probably go 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers before you need major parts replacements like fuel pumps, etcetera... (150k and counting on mine)... it's at this same interval that you'll need to possibly replace CRDi injectors, and they ain't cheap.

But the rest of the car has a lot of niggles... soft door hinges, electricals, etcetera...
