    Sir Basti08 Civic din ba auto nyo? Kasi sakin civic 98Lxi, sabi sa casa sirain daw talaga yung part na yun.. Nagpalit kayo ng segunyal o machine shop lang ang gumawa? Salamat
    nope. Adventure oto ko bro. nagpapalit kame ng timing belt sa personal naming mekaniko. mekaniko na namin yun way back pa. sa mga lola ko pa dun na sa kanya nagpapagawa ng oto. sya nagme-maintain ng mga Cortina at nung Opel Rekord namen. nagpalit din ng t.belt ng 2 Corolla cars namen before. kaso sumablay sya dito.

    ginawa namen bumili kame sa banawe ng sekunya aka crankshaft galing sa isang prototype pajero gen2 16 or 18k ata kuha namen tapos pinaukitan yung kabitan sa machine shop kase na-loose thread sya sa kakaikot pero di nga kase mahigpit so inupod nya yung kabitan ng sekunyal kaya niluwa.

    laking hassle talaga...

    Lancer Box Type - timing belt broke. Buti na lang sa loob ng subdivision and I was able to easily diagnose that it was the timing belt kaya hindi ko pinagpilitang itakbo..... May narinig akong parang naputol and then when I checked, I found out that the rotor in the distributor is not rotating, so that's it.... Ipinahila ko na lang....

    Corolla,- blocked fuel line. I don't remember the details... Basta alam ko, nakabihis kami at may lakad....

    Noong puro hand-me downs ang kotse ko, madalas. Overheating siguro pinaka common, electrical, wiper failure (in strong rain!), and my wheels got torn off due to loose nuts. Ngayon, and since nire-research ko reliability ratings ng rides ko, not in recent memory.

    Yup. The timing belt of my DSM turbo shredded apart at +90 mph. Along with that, 12 of the 16 valves were wrecked/damaged, requiring an engine transplant later.

    The worse part is, it happened 170-200 miles away from home in the middle of nowhere. I mean literally. It's desert with not a house/building/traffic in sight.

    Good thing I left a note saying where I'll be along with a map. I also had a cellphone. Back in those days, they were quirky and can't be relied upon especially in NV. But, my uncle eventually came by although not until the next day. Then he had to send out a tow truck to retrieve my car. He also gave me a good chewing out. I just took it without question since he was paying for the tow job.

    It's about 50-60 miles from here:

Nakaranas na ba kayo ng nasiraan o tumirik sa daan?
