Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[Benzmizer]

baka daw hindi starter ang problem, kasi pag switch mo wala yung heater indicator. ok naman daw yung starter . san kaya yung heater nito. di rin kabisado ng mekaniko eh.

Again, does the engine turn (redondo) when you start it? Yup, just like what dongmbb mentioned, DI lahat ISUZU vehicles --- ergo, you need not have to wait for the GP indicator to light up --- coz it won't.

[Sportiv08]

yup. nagreredondo siya.

Sorry wala po glow plugs ang 4ja-1 kaya wala rin heater indicator. Visual check muna baka may mga loose wirings sa electricals.

[Benzmizer]

yup. nagreredondo siya.

Hmm, Any chance your alarm may be at fault?

[lastpogi]

yup. nagreredondo siya.

try checking the fuel system...baka may prob sa injection pump or baka naubusan lang ng diesel.

This is basically true. For example;
He can reset the transmission to respond sooner, but then, the transmission could require power when the engine is "cold", and/or the turbo is not quite ready. The factory settings take care of such possibilities.

I would be pleased to elaborate.

However this is a subject with many twists and turns and is too complicated for a quick answer to all possibilities.

Let us be specific to you.

What vehicle do you have; year, engine, mileage (odometer)?

What do you wish to achieve? increased fuel mileage or, more acceleration or, more power etc?

You cannot have the all. If you increase one, you will probably decrease the other two.

Tell me more about you and how you drive (high altitudes, sea levels, highway, city etc) and, I will respond.

OK?

Ciao!

Hi Uncle Nick - First of, thank you for your time in attending to my queries.

My xwind details-
07 Sportivo MT, 4JA1
ODO is 51K
Im from the lowlands, Tarlac City, high way and City driving, just an average driver, max speed ranging from 60-80 kph, i shift the gear when the tach hits 2-

Is it possible to increase a little bit of acceleration(just to remove the delay) and increase fuel mileage or I only need to choose one, from the three? If I only have one shot, that would be the mileage.(parang genie may tatlong kahilingan )

thanks in advance uncle.

My observation is that you are an "average" driver and that is what your ECU is programmed for....no offense to you is meant.

To make any adjustments to the ECU would result in very minimal fuel consumption gains but very noticible performance losses.

My advice, forget the ECU adjustments unless you know a real expert with credentials.

ECU adjustments are better suited to gasoline fed engines in light weight unibody cars.

You are better advised to look at other factors which are not so costly and easily reversed;

Increase your tire pressures.

Lose weight i.e. heavy tools or other items.

Remove your roof rack or other proturbances (if present).

Use your brakes sparingly i.e. slow down to a gradual stop.

Accelerate slowly.

I know, I know, you have heard this before, but they do work to increase fuel mileage, really.

Long term, get a D-max or Alterra as soon as you can to get both better fuel mileage and acceleration at the same time.

Ciao!

Crosswind use TIMING GEARS. Well, these are with lubrication but since "metal to metal" and engagement ng gears, maingay talaga.... ergo, no choice.

[red16]

mga sirs...

Hindi ba advisable na linisan or brush in lang yung radiator grill? kasi napansin ko nung nalinis ko after parang humina yung buga at lamig ng aircon? Pro wala naman akong na sira o kya na bingkong na grills... Bakit kaya?!

Are you referring to the radiator grill or the radiator fins? If the latter, the external may look clean but internals may still be full of dirt/soot. Either use a high pressure gun (used in carwash) but make sure it's directly pointed to the fins, not angled to avoid the fins from being dented or pour that mixed solution (forgot what it's called but it's a powder mixed with water) thru the fins (thick white smoke would confirm it's cleaning effect when poured)

Hello sirs, Where can i get a service manual for my 07 sportivo? thanks

Yes! radiator grill nga sir... il try to clean the internal muna or try to buy a powder.... d one you mentioned. Hopes doon lng prolema. Thanks!

[quote=red16;1664685]Yes! radiator grill nga sir... il try to clean the internal muna or try to buy a powder.... d one you mentioned. Hopes doon lng prolema. Thanks!

the one sir benz referring is the lime which is comparable sa liquid sosa na gamit sa clogged na sinks....nabibili yung lime na yun sa suking aircon shop supply....

[jaz014]

to XT and XL owners...just to share my experience than many time had happened....

nangyari na ba sa inyo na during routine security inspection sa mga mall or companies na palaging hinanhanap ng mga guard yung lid opening ng door sa rear eh dun sa center or dun sa location ng plate number...hahahaha....tapos sasabihin sa iyo ng guard "sir naka-lock naman eh pakibuksan naman" or minsan kakatukin yung likod na pinto para ipaopen yung lock....sa XUV up models walang problem kasi may rear tire na nakalagay at obvious yung door opener sa right side....kaya yung iba ang ginagawa ay nilalagyan ng "open here" dun malapit sa handle para noticeable....pansin ko din madaling mayupi yung portion na yun kapag sinara using diin on that part...especially sa mga GT express.....wala lang just sharing lang...nasanay kasi mga guard sa halos lahat ng SUV/AUV na nasa gitna ang door opener sa likod....

[kalmadong pedro]

Tanong lang din. 2 beses akong napundihan ng Euroline H3 halogen bulb sa fog lamp in 3 months.. Twice on the right side. What do you think is the culprit? Bad wiring, installation or bulb?
