Any reputable aircon shop would do but my 1st 2 choices would be: (in order of preference)

1. DENSO
2. SANDEN

Sir Benz, how much kaya aabutin pag sa DENSO? hehe.

[k9tooth]

PMS 1.5 km, sa casa is less than 3k, I think 2777 ang total nung sa akin. Pinalagyan ko na rin ng foglamp, medyo mahal-6700- kaso no choice kasi, void ang warranty sa electrical if outside casa nagpainstall. Satisfied naman ako, Isuzu Alabang ako nagpaservice, lapit kasi sa amin.

Thank you bro. sa akin nung paglabas ng auto ko pinalagayan ko na agad ng foglamp 6K sa Isuzu Greenhills kasama na installation pero wala dyan 'yong frame na 1.5K. Tapos sa Isuzu Balintawak 'yong foglamp lang nila 3.2K lang pala no choice naipalagay ko na. Anong kulay auto nyo Sir? Sa akin tornade red.

At the back of the radiator? The one attached to the engine wherein when the engine is running, the fan also turns? If that is the "fan" you are referring, I believe that is what is commonly called the visco fan. Di yun free wheeling. It only turns when the engine is running.

Hmmm, what is that mechanic referring to?

Correct ka master, yun na nga yon, fan na naka-attached sa engine and it turns on when started. Yun yung iniikot ikot nya at sabi nya maganit na nga raw kailangan daw baklasin at lagyan ng grease or something. Kaya daw ang temperature gauge ko eh medyo angat sa normal. But i'm not really convince kaya di ko muna pinabaklas tutal mukhang ok lang naman yung takbo ng engine never goes beyond that reading naman. Maybe when i have the chance when i get home i will have an A service done as well.

Another issue master, i had my ride newly acquired lang kasi last November and had it serviced for an oil change sa Park & Fly lang after ma-check ko yung oil na mukhang putik na that was when we went to Cebu-Bohol kaya hindi ko namonitor, hindi ko alam kung anong oil ang ginamit nila pero i'm positive its not fully synthetic oil kasi mura lang ang binayaran ko. I'm not aware of these oil types kasi dahil first time to have a ride talaga and first time in all terms and car maintenance. Since i'm not sure what they have used and what they did naman, i thought that i've better have my car serviced once again for routine maintenance lang, have the oil change, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter and if there are any other filters pa na dapat palitan not really sure talaga. So i'm wondering, and did some research and found out that there are certain types of oil...15W-40 and 5W-40 for diesel engine, yung 15W-40 type po na oil is generally for hard working engine and a bit thicker than 5W-40 and it is really good during summer period to use and for heavy hauling daw po, at yung 5W-40 naman ay masmaganda raw gamitin kung ang panahon ay malamig at hindi naman bumabatak yung sasakyan ng mga trailer or something ng husto. 15W-40 medyo hard starting daw po specially when the engine is cold, at yung 5W-40 naman ay smooth...in your experience master what do you think is best for our diesel engine since both have their advantages..? 15W-40 vs. 5W-40 both are fully synthetic diesel engine oil.

Nga pala i had mine serviced last December so i guess due for service na siya ulit after 3 months or 5K km whichever comes first.

More power mga masters...and TIA

Master follow question lang po, saan po ang location ng mga shops na nabanggit ninyo and any contacts for them? Thanks..

[XTRM_Ryder03]

I agree to this one. the big fan at the back of the radiator is really not free wheeling. it is run by a belt attached to the engine. yung mga ibang engines kasi may sariling motor yun so free wheeling. baka kala ng mekaniko it's working that way. I think the mechanic gave a wrong observation.
*XTRM_Ryder sir kung "45.5 mins" yung gauge needle mo, we're the same. IMHO it's normal. and kung ganun na siya dati pa, why worry hehe. pag tumaas pa siguro, may problema na.

Tama ka sir when i got it, ganon na nga pero lang ikinompare ko sa iba eh di parehas, and you are correct again kasi di naman nagkakaproblema so i guess i will just have to put my attention on some other things and just monitor my gauge when i travel long distance. Salamat sa comment as well sir.

[les888]

Commuter is too big specially if magisa lang ako, Honestly I love the Nissan LV with the ride comfort at super lakas humataw pero medyo masikip kasi ang 3rd row seat nya may time na more than 8 kami hirap pag nissan livina, kung ako lang if mabenta ang commuter we stick with nissan since bago pa pero they decide to get a isuzu its better na 1 car nalang at ibenta na ang iba wala naman kasi kami prob sa coding

OT: * les888 - Hi sir, just plain curious(no other meaning). What made you decide to get an XT and get rid of those vans?

[Sleepcare]

*les888-plan din namin bumili ng crosswind, particularly the XTi model. Pero sabi saakin ng 2 na SA na nakausap ko kanina, phased-out na daw yung XT and XTi models eh. Hindi ko lang alam kung marketing ba nila ito pero nung tinignan ko yung pricelist nila, nakacorrection tape na yung 2 models.

[zalphyro]

Regarding sa Fan attached sa engine... Dapat pala talaga na di free wheeling? kasi sa akin pag pina ikot ko using my hands (and while di engine is not working) ay nag free wheeling...

Is there chance that it could be repaired or needed to change na talaga...

btw: mine is an XUVi 2003....

Partner, GOOGLE mo na lang. Makikita mo dun outlets nila nearest you. Contact number are also posted.

2 words: BS!

For sure, sabi lang ng Sales Executive na nakausap mo yun. I just checked with my friends at ISUZU HQ, no phase out. Malamang walang stock yung dealer ng XT/XTi kaya yun sabi.

If seriously interested, I could try and help you find one.

[Sleepcare]

*Benzmizer
Ahh. Kaya pala! Hmm. Hintayin ko muna go signal ng bank ko este ng mom ko. Can you PM me nung contact mo? And do you know what are the usual freebies for the XTi model?

[zalphyro]

*Sir Benz
Follow-up question lang....

How much would it cost if I'm going to upgrade (only the front looks) of my XUVi 2003 to Sportivo look 2010?

I could'nt find a complete list of parts sa area namin kasi almost all autoshops here in Iloilo couldn't give an estimate....

[Benzmizer]

Ok. PM kita # ko.

Usual freebies would be tint, mats, seatcovers. Try natin swing if maisasama LTO registration but normally di na kasama yun kasi additional 8k yun sa cost.

I may be able to help you source all the parts you need to realize that pero madugo. Palit kasi headlamps, upper and lower bumper, fenders, radiator grille and frame (where the radiator and condenser is attached) and wiring harness.

I know someone who can help you realize this. He did one before. Abot 250k ata. But if you do the math, mura pa rin lalabas kas naka Sportivo look ka na. A Sportivo these days still cost around 700k-up

[kafph2000]

Sir Benz, kapag ba nagpalit ng alarm, lahat din papalitan? pati mga wiring kasama?
Do you know a good brand and for how much? thanks

[zalphyro]

Big thanks talaga sir Benz for giving me idea on how much I'm going to spend...

But if I'm going to change lang muna the radiator grill and frame and the headlamps then complete the list later would it still be ok?

Nope. Di na kailangan. If the vehicle na pagkakabitan ng aftermarket alam may actuators na (the one that makes the door lock/unlock), the new alarm will be tapped there and would have a separate connection to power/ground and its own siren (or if you like the OEM siren, pwede din i-tap dun). No need to remove the OEM alarm. The electrician will just disable it.

Nope. At the least, when you do the face change, at the least kailangan palitan yung mga binanggit ko. Bumper and fender contour are patterned to the shape of the headlamps and radiator grille. The rest (i.e. tailamps, tirecover, etc can follow since they are located in a different part of the vehicle's body)

Actually, pwede mahuli mga bumpers pero it looks awful. Laki ng gap between the headlamps/grille sa bumper.

mga sirs kasama po ba ang door knob ng ating crosswind/sportivo sa warranty? napansin ko kasi may crack na yung plastic part ng aking doorknob. 3 month old pa lang ride ko at 6K Km na ang natakbo.


kung hindi po magkano po replacement? mas maganda yung full chrome na katulad ng mga sa innova at san po makakabili nito?

Anything/everything standard in a vehicle SHOULD be under warranty as long as it's within the stated warranty period and no modifications/tampering were made on the vehicle .

The dealer will just have to see the possible cause why the crack occurred if due part defect or misuse.

[kambal]

Kambal there is a shop in banawe that sells all kinds of spoiler, meron silang kagaya ng crosswind, i think its 3k, plus 500 for body color. . .

now if you prefer the OEM, its around 4k-5k, pero mahirap ang availability. . I just dont know sa casa. . .


Kambal how about an upgrade of 2010 sidemirror, with amber signal lights and autoretract function. . .

tnx for the info sir,,,
regarding sa upgrade sidemirror, d na muna cguro, d kse teterno pg may chrome...
