Hi I'm new to this thread. I was planning to buy the Xwind pag uwi ko dyan sa Pinas but with the reviews and comments you are all giving, is it worth it? How about the latest models? Any reviews on these? Your forum is very informative. Keep it up.

[niky]

The only revisions for the new Crosswind that actually matter are the inclusion of a turbocharger on manual models (previously, it was only available for automatic variants) and new emissions control equipment (most likely a catalytic converter or particle filter) to meet Euro II regulations. Otherwise, it's still the same banana.

If you're looking for a practical vehicle that's mostly for work, then the Crosswind is good. The turbo is water-cooled (no oil coking problems) and low pressure, so it's not stressed and low-maintenance... the engine is an ancient OHV design with no timing chain or belt, so you don't have to worry about it, and the underchassis is relatively robust.

For taxi duty, I'd prefer using the XTO or XTRM. If you can find a good XTRM, that is... with the soft metal used on the chassis, those things get really beat up (mis-aligned doors, squeaking hinges, creaky cabins, etcetera). The XTO is more refined, but doesn't suffer from being as heavy or harsh as newer Crosswinds.

i suggest i-test drive mo muna..at mag try ka ng ibang brand...pero ako, satisfied ako sa Isuzu...second car na namin at isuzu pa rin binili namin...susunod, pag may extra money ako, alterra na bibilihin ko....

diselNBUI,

'yong sa akin umaabot ng 2000rpm minsan during accelaration pero oks lang naman, hindi naman maingay or tolerable lang ang dating ng noise.

sa isuzu manila ka ba magpapaservice? 'yong first PMS ko sa isuzu QA, pero di ko nagustuhan ginawa nila dahil dinumihan lang ang loob.

kaya nung second PMS ko (5000) dito sa isuzu cavite na ako, at oks ang service nila, malinis magtrabaho at mabait ang naging service advisor ko. 'yong tech na gumawa sa ride ko, nakita niya na may kunting mois sa left side fog lamp, siya na ang nagsabi sa office na palitan ng parts dahil under warranty pa daw. aba sabi ko may kusa ang mga tao rito.

ewan ko lang kung mabait lang sa simula, ewan ko kung tumagal.

goodluck!

[mmda]

any crosswind owners experiencing that pigil prob? or baka factory defect lang nakuha si dieselnubi?... should others steer clear of isuzus?..kaya ba sila nalulugi sa ibang bansa?....ang mga sagot sa susunod na kabanata ng thread na to!

[dieselNUBI]

20vanda01,

buti pa sa iyo MINSAN umaabot ng 2000rpm during accelaration pero ok, tolerable pa
sa akin, i need to get it at 2000rpm para mag accelerate sya, MINSAN 2500rpm pero maingay na talaga...
yes sa isuzu manila ako...
i bought this at isuzu isabela, this month when i get back there, try ko kaya puntahan branch nila?!

[dieselNUBI]

just got back from isuzu...

adjust the timing again... after that ok na sa test run ko!

but i fear na babalik ulet ang saket after a few days just like before...

dieselNUBI,

Goodluck. Sana nga di na bumalik ang sakit ng XUV mo.

[dieselNUBI]

hayyy... bad news
balik ang sakit...

the isuzu said the last time na baka maluwag lang ang timing when they adjust it.. is there such a thing? na maluwag ang timing??!
im sorry for my ignorance...

[dieselNUBI]

thank u sky!!!

It's time to write a formal complaint to the dealer of your car and demand for a permanent fix or replacement of the while unit. Consult a lawyer muna kasi ang alam ko ay wala pa tayong "Lemon Law" pero meron naman tayong comsumer protection law.

Maghanap ka na rin ng tiga-media in case na hindi sila agad umaksion.

Boknoy, can you help dieselNUBI with his problem?

[rsnald]

...I've made three attempts para isagad ang ride ko, I just got 120kph at 3200 rpm.

dieselNUBi, ano na ang naging top speed mo sa ride mo?

mine is not an XUV, but an XTO manual.
speed trials ko along NLEX sa may viaduct...
120 KPH at 3200 rpm
130 kph at 3800 rpm
umabot nako sa 132-133 KPH, basta it's a bit higher than 130 but less than 135. around 4000 rpm na yun. palagay ko kaya niya up to 135 lang considering na 4250 ang redline nya, kaya lang naubusan na ng road. I'll not dare go beyond the redline. mahirap na. When I made the fastest speed trial, I was using Petron Rev-x Trekker engine oil. Parang mas ok sya compared sa Isuzu Genuine Motor Oil (IGMO- kuno!) ... less noise levels at that rpm.

fuel consumption; 10-11 km/li city driving, worst na is 9km/li. Up to 14 km/li high way driving provided wag ka lalampas ng 100 kph. if i drive faster than 100 kph, mileage drops to 12-13 km/li.

Going up Baguio last Oct 31, kaya nya arangkada uphill at 60-70 kph at 3rd gear.... iiwanan mo patrols, pajeros, and even the buses. lugi sila sa power/weight ratio e =). ang napansin ko lang, pag nagmenor ka bigla from 60kph down to say 20-30 kph, parang hirap na umakyat uli. downshift lang sa 2nd gear, arangkada up to 40-50 kph, ayun, kuha na nya ulit.

nawawala na yung mga fellow XTO owners ko dito a.... bat di lumipat si pingot? si silverXwind etc..

[dieselNUBI]

salamat sa lahat!
try ko muna pagawa sa ibang branches ng isuzu? tingin nyo saan maganda??

even the isuzu personel told me na wag maniwala sa ISUZU ROAD TEST that claims 36.++ km/L ?!?!?!

20vanda01, ilan ulet consumo mo? saan ka nagpapa service dito sa manila?

[mbt]

huwag nga maniwala dun sa 36+ km/L na inaadvertise ng isuzu...

that was not under typical conditions

[FrankDrebin]

YUng mga naka-2001 na model, nagpa-calibrate na kayo ng ride niyo?

[cj]

i drive a 2001 XTO. kaso office-bahay lang usually kaya wala pa akong 20K sa odometer so di pa kailangan nang calibration. so far im doing 10 km per liter-city driving. on those rare occasions na naibiyahe sa probinsiya naka 14 to 15 km per liter! top speed 135 KPH, pero nakakangilo nang ngipin yung vibration... =)

[x-wind]

sa akin 38+ km na pero ok parin nag check ako last week 10km per liter then pag nag province ako 14km /liter. 2001 mdel din ako october

[rsnald]

gulat ko nabuhay bigla itong thread na to, tagal ng interval, 7 months inactive. to answer FrankDebin's question, I drive a 01 model and more 53K na odo reading. I don't feel na I need to recalibrate na. Ok pa naman yung consumption ko, 11 km/L city drive (antipolo to pasig daily route) and 13-15 KM/L highway driving.
Nung last PMS ko (50K), meron silang inadjust sa makina to make my idling smoother. Minsan kasi, pag malamig engine, medyo mahina idling, 500-600 rpm lang, but it goes up to 750 rpm pag mainit na ulit engine. Pero after they adjusted, ok na ulit idling.
Sayang di ko nakita kung ano yung kinalikot nila. I was watching from a distance e.

[FrankDrebin]

Mga Isuzu Peeps!

Anong Isuzu CASA ang dabest in terms of PMS Service?
