Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[holdencaulfield]

Hihingi lang po ng opinions ng mga mas nakakaalam sa Crosswind

Crosswind Xtrm 2002 po ang sasakyan ko. Maganda pa ang takbo. Kakapalit ko lang last year ng clutch disc, pressure plate at release bearing, OEM ang gamit. Ngayon, kelangang palitan ang shocks, siguro aabutin ng 10k kung OEM. Hindi naman masyadong hassle. In short, hindi pa sya talaga masakit sa ulo. Yun nga lang, 172K na ang mileage nya. Iniisip ko tuloy kung dapat bang ibenta ko na sya habang meron pa syang matinong resale value. Ang problema lang e yung pambili ng pampalit. Siguro mga 100-150thou pesos lang madadagdag ko pang-upgrade. Baka naman hindi ganoon kalaking upgrade ang mangyari dahil mababa ang resale value ng sasakyan ko.

I-maintain ko na lang ba ang sasakyan ko? Pero baka pag 200k na ang mileage nya, baka lalong hindi mabili. Hehe.

Or benta na? Baka po may idea kayo kung magkano pa ang puedeng resale value nya. TIA.

benta mo na lang. yung reasonable. bili ka nalang ng bago-bago basta sa taong di loko-loko.

good day tsikot members. paki verify lang po please kasi im planning to buy a crosswind:

1. does it still use timing gears? kasi i heard ang bagong dmax nagpalit from timing gears to timing chain. syempre i prefer the timing gears. baka kasi pinalitan narin ng isuzu ng timing chain ang mga bagong crosswind.

2. yung mga cheaper variants of crosswind ba also has turbo (heat sink) like the sportivo variants?

3. i've seen sa isuzu website, wala na palang xtrm. (is this true?) there's only the xl, xs, xt and sportivo. what's are the differences between the xs and xl?

thanks

ang gamit ng crosswind i ang ever indestructible timing gears.

sa turbo at variants, balik ka na lang ulit sa site ng isuzu at doon macocompare mo yung specs atleast parang side by side.

Guys new owner ng sportivo x at dito. any advice kng anong magandang diesel gamitin? nabasa ko kse na unioil at seaoil euro 4 na yta? anyone tried this and any changes sa takbo o sound ng engine? TIA

Totoo po ba ito? (Diesel Smoke tells YOU a Story…

I have a 2002 XUV. Runs good, pero may almost colored blue smoke pag cold start o bagong paandarin sa umaga. Maraming salamat.

Yep mejo totoo po sya hehe. Blue smoke is a sign of oil being burned. Pwedeng valve seals(sana nga yun lang) or piston rings(maluwang na ang clearance)...nakakalusot na sya pataas sa combustion chamber kaya result is unburnt oil.

Salamat at may nakita din ako na Isuzu Crosswind forum. Mga sirs, I have a 2002-03 Crossind XUV manual tranny. Itanong ko kung advisable ipa-casa to check the car. Wala naman ako napapansin na kakaiba. Just service maintenance kasi lagpas na ng 100,000 km. (108,000+.)

Ano pati maganda gamitin na pang oil-change? Sabi sa akin ni CASA mineral daw dapat. Kasi masyadong malabnaw kung fully synthetic, baka pumasok sa mga spaces etc.

Ano pati puedeng gamitin na pang dagdag sa power steering fluid? Nakalagay kasi sa cap dexron. May nakita ako sa ACE hardware, prestone power steering fluid, puede na kaya ito kahit hindi dexron?

At kung kailangan ng palitan ang gear oil since hindi pa ito napapalkitan simula ng bilhin nuong 2003 (first owned.)

Maraming salamat.

14K for the service required when the crosswind hits 100 - 120K, excluding parts needed to replaced.

Just use mineral oil, wala naman ata na OEM na fully synthetic oil ang Isuzu.

Change all your fluids, wag na amg top and of course get the Isuzu brand fluids.

Bilis ng reply. Maraming salamat. How will I know which are Isuzu brand fluids? What are isuzu brand fluids?

[bogs2]

Sorry sa pangungulit. First owned yung XUV 2002 model, pero bihira ko magamit at parang hand me down sa akin. Problem is nawala na yung manual. If I changed the coolant, do I put coolant sa reserve tank at tubig sa radiator? Or both coolant sa reserve tank and radiator? Or pag samahin ang coolant at tubig sa radiator? (Pre-mix na ang coolant, no need to add water.)

Maraming salamat po ulit mga chiefs.

if mineral oil ang gagamitin...I suggest you use 1. Idemitsu Extreme Touring 15W-40 Extreme Touring DH-1. TBN Value is 12.4.
2. Delo 400 15W-40...TBN value is 12.2
3. Mobil 1 Delvac MX 15W-40...TBN value is 12.0...
Btw TBN(totalo base number) determines how effective the control of acids formed will be during the combustion process. The higher the TBN, the more effective it is in suspending wear-causing contaminants and reducing the corrosive effects of acids over an extended period of time.
Yung kinematic velocity ng idemitsu during cold start (40°C) is the lowest which means it will go up faster sa engine parts from the oil pan.

Regarding the use of synthetic oils , ok sya sa crosswind po natin that is if you have extra money. Pricey ang mga fully synthetic.
Also yung sabi ng casa na makakalusot sya sa mga engineered clearances ng mga rings or ng mga seals is a myth now especially sa ganda ng mga formulation nila ngayun.
The caveat is that your engine must be in good working order and not be leaking right now. If that's the case, most modern oils are fully compatible with the elastomeric materials that engine seals are made from, and you shouldn't have any issues with leaks.

Guys new owner ng sportivo x at dito. any advice kng anong magandang diesel gamitin? nabasa ko kse na unioil at seaoil euro 4 na yta? anyone tried this and any changes sa takbo o sound ng engine? TIA

as per experience....magaspang po ang euro 4 diesels on vehicles fitted with an injection like the crosswind. Euro 4 diesels only have 50 PPM of sulfur as compared to the Euro 2 of the big 3 which contains 500 PPM of sulfur. Sulfur gives additional lubricity which injection pumps need, Though on paper, euro 4 will have lesser emissions but yun nga it will be very abrasive sa injection pump which can damage sa rotor heads or drive shafts etc.
If you really want to use Euro 4 I suggest you add 2T...it will augment the lubricity of the diesel despite it having only 50PPM sulfur.
I've been using 2T for 100,000 kms now and so far at 250,000kms ng crosswind virgin pa ang injection pump....seals all intact and the fuel regulating screw di pa inaadjust. :-)
Euro 4 diesels are best suited sa mga hig pressured CRDIs as they require Ultra Low Sulfur Diesels(ULSD).

I suggest that you supplement Euro 4 diesel with coconut methyl esther (CME or coco-biodiesel) to provide lubricity that is absent from ULSD. CME is unquestionably environment friendly though it may cost a bit more than 2T. As I have not used Euro 4 diesel yet in my Sportivo I don't know exactly what blend is necessary to provide sufficient lubricity for your engine when you shift to Euro 4 diesel. I load up on Euro 2 diesel from the usual sources but I add in enough CME to my tank to bring up the bodiesel blend from the standard B2 to B5. I've been getting better acceleration and a smokeless drive in my 6-month old Sportivo.

[crosswind]

guys tanong lang anong sa tingin niyo mas mabilis magaccelerate innova o crosswind
base sa expirience ko mas mabilis yung acceleration ng crosswind

[crosswind]

newbie lang
ano po sa tingin niyo mas mabilis mag accelerate innova o crosswind?
base sa expirience ko mas mabilis umarangkada ang crosswind.

Sir,how do you mix(ratio) biodiesel with euro 2 diesel,where and how much that it will cost more than adding 2t?

[noelbranz]

Hi to all, got some problem with my Crosswind XT 2007. Engine stops when i am freewheeling, like pushing the clutch full and shift to neutral. Can somebody help me whats wrong. Thanks

[siopaonatoasted]

Fuel filter.

[noelbranz]

Thanks so much. Will try to replace .

sa radiator chong, tapos yung sobra sa reservoir na lang.

[efrendat]

Gudday po mga sirs.
Mine is sportivo + 2012, ask ko lng po kung san pwede ipa repair ung front monitor ng HU natin? Di ko na po kc magamit ung stereo kc sira na agad ung monitor, its out of warranty na po. Thanks po
