Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

[Benzmizer]

Here are the prices.

• Ziebart (Car Savers) - 5k with 1-7yrs warranty depending on the evaluation and renewable every year.
• Suburbia - 4.5k just plain undercoating using Tuff Kote Dino rustproofing chemical.
• Petron Araneta - 3k plain undercoating using 3M Rubberized paint.

As you mentioned, Suburbia does not extend warranty so drop it in the list. As for Ziebart.... hmmm, drilling holes? Well, these holes will be covered with rustproofing anyway so seems ok lang. Basta walang secondary damage sa oto when they drill, ok lang. Petron, is cheap pero unless you have seen their work, I have reservations din.

Yun din ung worries ko if ever they drill some holes sa underchassis baka mamaya magkaron ng problem, I've read some threads here regarding the problem they've experienced after a rustproofing job wherein they drill holes. I have yet to check how they do it. I might drop by in Ziebart near Magallanes sometime next week just to check how they do the underchassis coating.

Just recently, nagpa-change oil ako crosswind, Shell Diesel Plus ung kulay blue, semi synthetic, bale 4.5 liters yun if I remember it correctly isang malaking container which I believe contains 4 liters saka ung isang small na 1liter ang laman, half lang nun ang nilagay..

I'm pretty sure your suking gasoline station knows how much engine oil dapat ilagay sa crosswind mo.

Thank you po sa reply. isang tanong na lang. magkano po magpa change oil kung shell diesel plus?

Yung Shell Diesel Plus 4liters will cost you around Php1,100, di ko na matandaan kung magkano ung 1liter siguro mga around Php250 rin yun, yung labor naman is around Php200-250 lang sa shell kung saan ako nagpaservice.

Be sure to bring your own Oil Filter and Fuel Filter, okay daw na brand ang VIC mga more or less Php 200 lng isa nun.

umabot din sakin ng almost Php2k all in all.

Hehehe! I have yet to refer a unit to him. One thing about me, I hardly refer if I myself is in doubt. So it does take time before one hears from me. Offer mo sa iyo sa kanya then kunin mo ito? Pag-usapan natin yan... para everyone happy, di ba?



True. Something i know of the managers selling from the plant, mataas man yung ibang mileage (ave. 20-25k a year) pero kapag sinakyan mo naman yung oto, kulang na nga lang plastic at parang bago manakbo! Spoiled brats mga units nila dun... access to parts and very competent mechanics to work on them... one of the best!

As an added bonus, this particular manager/friend ko, sobrang metikuloso sa oto! As I have mentioned --- NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART --- it's because di nya minamadali yung pagbenta nung oto... he does not need to in the first place. And he knows how much he had "babied" his Sportivo. I believe he is asking for 830k for it. Slightly negotiable upon viewing. Pero naman, sasakyan mo na lang talaga oto!

As we in MB would say it, NOTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A CHEAP MERCEDES -- and I believe it also applies here and any other vehicle for that matter. Get the vehicle cheap but be bombarded with a series of repairs -- that would not only cost you huge miney but VALUABLE TIME! Badtrip yun di ba?

Now tell me I don't make sense.... Nuff said.

PEACE!

Sir,
Thanks for the time. I'm also doing some search but from what I've learned from you, I 'll be more careful in searching.

hello!

i acquired a 2001 XTO from my father last January. Alagang alaga nya ito and maganda ang takbo. Matipid din sya, nakaka 12KPL ako, city/slex driving.
may isa lang akong napansin,
since january, 3 times na nababali yun tubo ko sa main muffler. Yung first time, ang cause daw eh nasira na yun rubber (shaped like an 8) thingie that holds the muffler in place. pero yun last 2, buo pa yun rubber pero bali ulit yun tube connecting directly to the main body of the muffler.
ang sabi ng tatay ko, never daw nasira sa kanya ito, so malamang daw dahil sa driving ko kaya nasisira. di naman ako balasubas pero di rin ako mala-pagong magmaneho.
meron din ba kayong similar problem with your xwind? I will have it checked again tomorrow, probably papa-weld ko na naman pero I want it to last a bit kasi hassle din yun palaging nasisira.
