Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[Benzmizer]

Just curious what happened to that Crosswind? what's the reason they changed the engine? was it purely r&d? Is the Crosswind still running up to now? ano yung mga naging challenges nila.. wala ba silang naging problem during the process? Was the engine swap worth it?

The engine was borrowed lang sa isang Fuego 4x2. Ibinalik na uli dun. Well, from my knowledge, it was considered BUT with the magnitude of mods required, ISUZU may have chickened out.

Remember, it would be easier to do a frankenstein if it's just 1 unit but doing as mass pro, easier said than done. And since the parts/components are not all produced and assembled here locally, logistics of making a mod like this would be bloody.

I see, so what do you think will happen to the Isuzu Crosswind / Sportivo line up? How long do you think IPC will maintain this specs? Any insider news if they have any plans of upgrading (not face lifts ha) the crosswind platform?

The current Xmax should have this seating configuration to give it more distinction from the Sportivo.

I believe this sitting configuration is from Chevrolet Tavera of India, their Tavera has nice interior compared to our Crosswind. It has 3pt Seatbelt to on the middle row seat.

I wonder if Isuzu Panther of Indonesia has the same interior as the Tavera.

FMC usually is every 6 years.... The Crosswind has been in the market for 10 years. Hirap nang manghula.

Our 2011 Crosswind XTi (Moroccan Gold)

Ngayon ko lang napansin, yung 2011 all white na ang mga ilaw.

Yup, same goes with the sideview mirror-integrated signal. It is the bulb that is colored amber and not the lens anymore -- a special bulb that may be silver-coated but when lights up, show amber color..... where IMHO, looks "cleaner" and OEM.

Here is a close up of the headlamps:



See? :toast:

[Sleepcare]

Oo nga eh. Papa-install ko pa yan ng foglights during the 5K PMS. All white na set-up ko. Baka mabulag na yung mga makasalubong ko nyan.

Hi Guys, tanong lang ulit sa mga experts, kailan ba dapat palitan o linisin ang air filter at ano ba used talaga nito sa makina? I owned 2001 Crosswind XTO. Thanks in advance.

wala pa po ba talagang aftermarket airfilter for crosswind? yung tipong simota na isasalpak na lang? Or talagang pang ibang sasakyan then kelangan pang imod?

[kalmadong pedro]

afaik meron pong drop-in filter na k&n na pwede sa crosswind... not 100%sure though... pero kung short ram intake hindi ko sure kung meron na aftermarket, siguro pagawa na lang ng sarili...

I'm using a drop in K&N filter for my Crosswind for years already.

Bros, this morning when I tried to open the hood, the cable snapped and I could not figure out how to open it. Any body out there who had experienced the same? How can I open it and replace the cable?

Thanks.

Parang ako pa lang yata naputulan ng hood cable dito. I was asking kasi baka pweding i-DIY na lang pag-ayos ng cable pero di ko talaga mabuksan yung hood. Anyway, share ko na lang ginawa sa shop, bale tinanggal nila yung front grill which took them almost 1 hour to do it then yung lock assembly naman yung dinis-assemble. Luckily, naputol pala yung cable sa dulo mismo kaya nilagyan na lang ng parang nipple with screw para maipit yung end point at maikabit dun sa lock. Naka-save ako sa cable.
