Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[jarhead]

ang problema lang is sobrang mahal talaga magpa-service sa CASA.

but according to our warranty manual, you just have to bring your car every 1500 and 5000 km check up. hindi mavo-void ang warranty kahit magpaservice ka sa labas. if sa labas ka nagpapachange oil and my nasira sa aircon mo or suspension, dapat i-covered ng warranty nila un. even if may nasira sa engine mo, dapat i-covered pa rin nila un. as said only 1500 and 5000 km c/ip are covered ng warranty..

pre, 1500 and 5000 have warranty labors which means libre ang labor ng PMS,which is forcibly serivced by the casa... but kung talagang magpagawa ka sa labas, the waranty would be voided...

Fellow D-Max owners, ano kayang magandang gawin dito? The rubber damper on the engine side of the hood is rubbing against the body panel where the radiator and headlights are screwed on. Malapit nang lumabas yung primer.

Ang mga salarin:




I'm thinking of applying undercoat on those surfaces.:confused:

akin din ganyan e. napaisip tuloy ako. lagayan kaya natin nang 'soft' rubber yung contact surfaces? medyo matigas na klase kasi yung rubber strip na ginamit ng Isuzu.

ang gawin sa 5k PMS ay ang engine change oil/filter, brake cleaning, probably a tune up or check sa valve clearance.... inspection sa underchassis,electrical, bolt tightening.... and its the start off sa every 5,000kms interval ng maintenance....
memps, i suggest that ipasok mo muna sa casa ang dmax mo... you will never know baka meron masira under sa waranty and napa ayos mo na sa labas ng casa.... meron kami customer just today nagpaservice sa labas and 10k pa ang mileage... yun voided ang waranty in case meron mangyari sa engine or other parts ng ride niya...

I really intend to keep the servicing sa casa lang maybe until 20k. The Isuzu Dealer here has complete facilities and so far for our other cars they've been rendering good service. Even if I can do myself the basics like change fluids and a bit of tightening, sila nalang.

Mahirap na . Thanks for the checklist!

Isketi - Yikes! Pareho rin yan sa Hi-lander namin dati. The soft rubber is a good suggestion, let's just make sure na yung good kind na hindi natutunaw na parang sticky like chewing gum.
Ok naman siguro as temporary protection ang top coat but we have to stop that rubbing action!

Isketi:
That's common to most vehicles. Just let it be. By the time rust forms, your outer body paint will most probably be worse and its time for you to re-paint.

guys kung may kilala pala kayo nagbebenta ng 2nd hand rims 18's or 20's for our dmax sabihin niyo sakin.

Sa ibang auto usually dun lang sa mga bilog na rubber dampers, masyadong extensive itong sa D-Max. I'm getting OC about it, I just can't let it happen.

as for the soft rubber, you could improvise- old bicycle tube cut crosswise and put on the contact surface. i've yet to test this. will post the pictures once i'm done
