Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[xwind_mariner]

mga sir yung automatic tranny ba ng crosswind eh may option na ma release to manual para in case ma drain battery eh pwede matulak crosswind AT.

what you mean matulak....if you mean tulak to bring to your house or auto shop, pwede put the gear in N position..
but if you mean tulak to get it started like manual tranny...NO ( it is written on User manual )

Hi mga masters!

I'm planning to buy a used crosswind XTO 2002. May prospect na ko and will buy anytime soon. Pero may hesitations pa din ako dahil sa pagiging automatic nya (napapaisip pa din ako kung manual or matic kukunin ko). I'm a newbie when it comes to diesel engines din, so would like to ask for opinions sa inyo sana.

Kaya ito ang napili ko over the manual:
1. masmura ang used (around 50-100k difference based sa pagca-canvass ko)
2. naisip ko yung difference nila sa price ang magco-compensate sa higher fuel consumption ng matic
2. more comfortable driving
4. turbo and all power vs same model/type na manual (XT, XL, XTO) na hindi pa

Tama po ba ang assumptions ko?

Generally po kase, automatic transmissions have higher maintenance costs. Pero naisip ko built to last naman engines ng isuzu diesel, so in the long run baka sulit pa din.

Final but I think most important consideration: Gagamitin po sya sa business, pang-rota sa mga small food stalls ko around town (for now, pero mage-expand sa ibang locations eventually) and magdadala din ng supplies and equipment once in a while.

Thanks in advance sa mga inputs nyo!

Hello mga masters. Sorry I had to repost. I just need your advice, kase will be buying very soon.. Thanks!

Hello mga masters. Sorry I had to repost. I just need your advice, kase will be buying very soon.. Thanks!

not a masters, only a beginner also....well in my experience using automatic transmission in my xuv for almost 4 years, what they(casa) have done, changing fluid(ATF),no more...in general maintenance, i skipped some pms(every 5K km.)last January 2012, end of warranty, but i dont have any major problem since 2009 except front left brake, nag stock yon caliper...
for your situation want to acquired 2nd hand vehicle with automatic transmission, i suggest to check it very well...make a road test, automatic transmission is very sensitive, easy to break if not properly maintained, or if you have time, paste this in your toolbar and search "How to check transmission and discover possible transmission ..."
Using auto transmission is more comfortable to use in city driving than manual transmission(on my opinion, i used also manual transmission before)
Automatic transmission less maintenance(if properly maintained) compared to manual transmission.
Automatic transmission consumed more fuel than manual transmission.
Automatic transmission accelerator response is more slow compared to manual transmission.
by the way, aside from all of these, why i choose automatic transmission...not getting tired even heavy traffic or long drive.

Mga sirs,
ask ko lang kung ano pagkakaiba ng 2012 xt sa sportivo regarding sa ride height, naka body lift o suspension lift ba ang sportivo kaya mas mataas ang height nya compare sa xt model. kung sakali ba pede ilowered ang sportivo kamuka sa xt.
planning to get one this year, gusto ko kase ang porma ng sportivo pero parang masyado mataas ang ride height nya. thanks

Hi po mga Master question lang po. . .

Balak ko po mag palagay ng rain guard and stepboard for my 2012 crosswind XT medyo mahal po kasi sa casa maganda po ba mag palagay sa labas. Hindi ba ma void yong warranty niya? And san po maganda magpalagay ng rain guard and stepboard manila and cavite area po

Salamat in advance mga master.

[junerski]

vehicle is crosswind xt 2012 model

napansin ko lang kapag lumulusong sa baha (kahit gutter deep lang) eh umiilaw yung mga warning lights sa dashboard (meaning nababasa yung alternator etc)

ang tanong ko lang eh may remedyo ba dito? ...nabasa ko rin sa isang thread dito sa tsikot (floodcrossing ata yung thread) na sakit ng crosswind yan.. thanks

nothing wrong kung mabasa like yon alternator kasi ang work lang nyan eh to keep your battery alive, better to check your fuse box, baka yon ang napapasok ng tubig coming from the splash of radiator fan kapag nilulusong mo sa baha..so nagkakaroon ng short-circuit sa fuse box.

Up ko lang po salamat and correction po pala rain gutter po di po rain guard haha.

Up ko lang po salamat and correction po pala rain gutter po di po rain guard haha.

I'm from Moonwalk, Paranaque area and the nearest na kinukunan ko ng parts / accessories for my XUV is in Evangelista, Pasay. Your "trusted" casa personnel should have given yah tips like these. When buying accessories like rain gutters and stepboards, try the "newer" models that won't require drilling and/or welding during installations (i.e. double- stick foams, clamps, no- drill bolts, etc.). Keeps your warranty safe. ,

goodmorning rey7tiam, yun nginig ng makina is normal at nginig ng mainbela is normal also. pero just a little bit lang kung may nginig,at hindi malakas ang nginig. pwera lang take note kung moving na ang car mo at any stage speed eh dapat walang vibrate. now kung meron nginig or vibrate while car is traveling eh ibang usapan nayan ok. about isuzu cavite at imus yes they are good at very cooperative ang mga staff as well as mechanic even service supervisor are really helpful in many ideas about isuzu vehicle's problem.

[rey7tiam]

Sir marq thanks ha. So kung tumatakbo na pala wala na dapat nginig? During idle lang? Newbie sa diesel kasi Sir..

Bro pag naka idle si xwind may vibration talaga sa steering wheel timing gear kasi pero kapag moving na siya nawawala naman.

Regarding sa izusu imus cavite, doon ko nabili unit ko so far so good naman sila sa service very accommodating naman sila. Mahusay din naman mga mechanics nila. Problem lang namin is yong plate number namin wala pa din hangang ngayon according to them LTO Las Pinas daw may problem huhu.

Anybody po from cavite here na new xwind owner wala pa din plate number hangang ngayon?

When it comes to buying parts, accessories, etc., consider EVANGELISTA as little BANAWE:-).
halos lahat na ng mga accessories na makikita mo sa casa eh naroon na. Kadalasan eh mas maganda pa ang makikita mo roon kesa sa mga makikita mo sa casa. and the best thing is...
CHEAPER. Well. most of the times, you can (should actually) haggle with the prices.

Oldest "tip" or trick from the book: pag may nagustuhan kang piyesa or anything na nakita
mo sa casa, itanong mo sa casa kung magkano (libre namang magtanong eh, hehehe :-)).
Then, gumala ka sa Evangelista. I'm almost 100% sure na makikita mo doon ang hinahanap mo.
When it comes to "tawaran", depende na kasi sa presyo ng bibilhin mo. Hindi na ako tumatawad
ng malaki, kasi nga mura na, tatawad ka pa ng malaki... baka mapa- away naman na tayo :-).
Ang finance manager ko ang magaling diyan... si Misis!

Salamat sir

*all

Any inputs pa po?

[marq]

Sir marq thanks ha. So kung tumatakbo na pala wala na dapat nginig? During idle lang? Newbie sa diesel kasi Sir..

oo naman wala na dapat nginig pag tumatakbo na. sa idle naman pwede mo taasan M/T-RPM is 750 while A/T-RPM is 800 or 850. pls check and see the tachometer of your car and see to it the proper idling.

[bigbites]

Guys, question lang. My XTO runs 7 km/L mixed city/highway driving at magaan paa ko. Normal ba to? Kase kung ganito lang rin magpapalit na ko ng XT or XTO manual, mamumulubi ako dito
