Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

*TAUBTAUB: The gadget is a stand-alone 3-inches-long copper tube with spirals inside. This cause the incoming air to swirl as it pass through the gadget. No electricals, no nothing but itself - no maintenance. It just does what it is supposed to do - silently and perpetually.

If I remember it right, it costed me around 1k, and the trade name is UNIQ yata...

Sorry, short of memory here. I bought it a few year sback from a tiangge in SM - yung parang trade fair inside malls. Originally, i had it installed in my Mazda B2200 but it seemed to give negligible effect (RF Turbo engine kasi, at hindi sakto sa tube). It works perfectly now in my Sportivo'05.

ahhhh... Uniq Fuel Combustion Enhancer

Tanong ko lang kung mavovoid ba yung warranty if in case papalagyan ng stepboard and foglight ang crosswind sa labas?

Good day guys!

1st time to post here.. I recently acquired a 2005 Sportivo and I was wondering how much it would cost to change my bumper into the one with the chrome upper part?

No idea how much kase walang binebenta dito sa amin..

My bumper looks more or less like this..


And i'd like to make it look like this..


Bumper lang ba papalitan? D na kailangan yung headlights and filler? How much kaya aabutin nito guys?

Thanks in advance and God bless!

Likely --- particularly with installing a foglamp (splicing may be required to make it work) What year/model is your Crosswind? If it's any year/model past Jan. 08-older, warranty has already lapse. You can virtually do anything with the car at your own risk.

Have you checked the power steering fluid level? From my experience, PS fluid level may be below the minimum. Just add until recommended max level. Should it require fixing, any seasoned mechanic should be able to do the job. A power steering kit should be around P2,000(?).

Good day guys!

It's plug and play. No need to replace anything but the upper front bumper (chrome finish). For everyone's common reference, the front bumper of the Crosswind is a 2-pc set. As for the amount, I don't know. But what I know is you'd only likely be able to source it from an authorized ISUZU stealer, este, dealer.

Thanks sir Benzmizer..

good morning guys!

last thurs nagpachange oil dad ko sa petron. sab dun kulang pa daw yung 4L motor oil na dala nya, kaya bumili pa sya ng isang litro. then mali daw yung VIC-512 oil filter na dala rin nya, so bili din sha ng isa pa VIC-507. tama kaya to guys? nabasa ko kse dito na 4L is ok and VIC-512 ang tama para sa 2008 crosswind manual eh.

thanks!

Actually, plan palang kasi bumili eh. So naninigurado lang, para walang maging problem pag nakakuha na.

[shakatak70]

Mga sirs ano po ang part number ng brake pad ng crosswind? Aside from casa saan makakabiloi ng mas mura ng kaunti kaysa casa?

Sir, ako mismo ang nag change oil sa crosswind 2010 ko at sinukat ko ang used na langis, nasa 4 & 1/4lit. lang at malamang ang 1/4 lit. ay nasa oil filter. Kaya ang isinalin ko na langis sa makina ay 4 & 1/4 lit. laang at tama lang naman ang level ng langis sa oil dipstick. Kapag 5 lit. ang isinalin nyo, tiyak lagpas yan sa oil dipstick max. level.

tsktsk yan din worry ko. sa gas station lang kse nagpachange oil dad ko eh. ano ba negative effects kapag sobra ang oil na nilagay? tsaka tama ba yung oil filter na nilagay (VIC-507)?

the last time i changed the brake pads of my xwind, i used bendix pads, 950 lang bili ko, although di ko alam part number. Ok naman siya, tahimik at maganda din kapit sa disc.

This time, though, nakabili ako ng bosch brake pads sa dealer dito sa province, P 1,100 siya. Ang napansin ko lang, ang intended vehicle niya na nakalagay sa box ay isuzu trooper na late 80's. Pero parehong pareho siya sa xwind kasi dala ko sample ng pinaglumaan. Nasubok ko na kasi bosch sa corolla ko, maganda kapit sa brake talaga.

Good day guys! I have a few additional questions regarding the Sportivo 2005 AT model..

1. Does this model have a backing sensor?

2. Where is the module of the alarm located? My siren isn't chirping kase and I looked at the engined bay and the wires of the siren are cut.. I want to look for the module para mareconnect sana..

3. Planning on changing the stock rims to something like 15x8.. Will i have clearance issues?

4. If i change into 15x8s, can i still use the stock tires (Michellin 235/70/15 - kapal pa kase)?

5. Also plan to change the steering wheel kase hirap ako sa pagpress ng busina (nabaklas na din ata).. Any suggestions? Specific model ng momo, sparco.. or stay with stock?

Daming questions.. Senxa na po, bought it 2nd hand kase..

TIA and God bless!

Kahit sa casa pag dimo bantayan sobra din ang langis na isinalin nila, experienced kona yaan. Affected ang average FC kapag sobra ang langis kasi dagdag bigat yon sa pag ikot ng makina, kilangan nasa tamang level lang ng oil dipstick ang langis. Yon namang oil filter basta walang oil leak ayos lang yan at naka circulate naman ang langis.

I did a few searches and found answers to some of my questions.. Pero here are the other questions I still need help with..

Isuzu Sportivo 2005 AT

1. Does this model have a backing sensor? I don't see any sensors in the rear stepboard/bumper or in the spoiler eh..

2. Found a picture where the alarm module is located.. Still, i'd like to ask saan banda sa engine bay ni-route yung wirings to the siren? All I can see is the siren with attached 1ground wire + 1 or 2 extra wires wrapped in electric tape.. :D don't know where to connect which..

3. Will i have clearance issues if I use 15x8 rims with the stock tires?

4. Any steering wheel suggestions?

TIA and God bless!

Isuzu Sportivo 2005 AT

1. Does this model have a backing sensor? I don't see any sensors in the rear stepboard/bumper or in the spoiler eh. - odd kasi as far as I recall, meron dapat reverse sensor na yang Sportivo mo. i believe the reverse sensors became standard first when Sportivo was introduced and that was in 2005. Hmmm...

2. Found a picture where the alarm module is located.. Still, i'd like to ask saan banda sa engine bay ni-route yung wirings to the siren? All I can see is the siren with attached 1ground wire + 1 or 2 extra wires wrapped in electric tape.. :D don't know where to connect which.. - I suggest you let a seasoned electrician/accessory shop check it. Don't mess around with your vehicle's electricals. It's no longer the issue of warranty but we would like to avoid aggravating the problem. They should be able to trace what went wrong. Personally, I think the previous owner messed with it before and may have accidentally (or intentionally but why) the connection to the siren.

3. Will i have clearance issues if I use 15x8 rims with the stock tires? - the standard size of the OEM rims of the Sportivo is 6.5x15 on 235/70R15 Michelin tires. I have personally tried using 7x15 rims using the standard tires and it looked good -- moreover, proven to be possible. Using 8x15 rims may "stretch" the tires too much. Not sure. Stretching it too much may look odd, worst, cause the tires to come off the rims. As to clearance issues, sa likod wala yan pero sa harap, baka (not sure again) sumayad sa fender when making quarter turns specially when the vehicle is positioned unevenly.

4. Any steering wheel suggestions? - Check the OEM steering wheel first. It may just need adjustments. From my experience, di naman mahirap pindutin manebela ng Crosswind (mas madalas pa nga na nabubusina sa sobrang sensitive ng hornpad e). But being unequipped with an airbag, yes, pwedeng salpakan ng aftermarket steering wheels yan. You'd just ned the right adaptor to make it fit.

[tata_ismael]

Upon further inspection of the wirings in the engine bay, I found the wire that should probably be connected with the siren.. I tried connecting it pero nothing happened.. Still no sound.. I guess I'll have an electrician take care of the alarm na lang para sigurado.. I just hope na busted lang yung siren and not the module kase umiilaw pa naman lahat at naglolock..

With regards to the backing sensor, I'll check with the casa when I get a chance.. Layo kase sa amin, mga 4hours travel din..

Yung manibela ko kase sir parang nabaklas na ng dating may-ari, kaya minsan hindi tumutunog pag nasosobrahan ang pindot sa right side.. I'll have it checked by an electrician na lang din..

Weekend kase guys kaya walang magawa, nangalikot na lang tuloy ng sasakyan.. hehehe

Thanks again sir Benzmizer and God bless sa lahat..
