2010 Mitsubishi Strada [continued 2]

[Ry_Tower]

Sa mga 2011 Strada GLX owners ,question lang mga Sir , does this new VGT engine uses timing belt or timing chain ?

Salamat po !

it's still a 4d56 so timing belt pa din yan. Change due at 80-90K kms.

I'm not so sure sir. Ang sabi lang sakin is yung mga bagong lumabas so I guess the 2011 units are already revised. Pero sabi naman nung kakilala ko sa Mitsubishi daw pag may ganyang problema, lahat daw ng unreleased units papalitan.

I haven't experienced the scv problem with my 2010 glx. Nasa 11k plus na at maayos pa rin takbo. Sa december mag iisang taon. Sana naman wag magloko after the warranty.

Hi mga sirs,

I'm currently hunting for the best deals out there. Planning to get Strada GLX.

Question how much yung chattel, TPL, insurance niyo nung nagavail kayo ng Strada niyo?

Kung pwede freebies na nahaggle niyo rin. :D

Thanks!

Thanks guys.

May nakapagsabi sakin from Strada Club na revised na daw ang SCV ng Strada from euro 4 to euro 2. Napansin ko din ito sa mga ads ng bnew strada.

I also contacted one of my friends in the engineering department of Mitsu Cainta. He said that they already remedied the problem by making the SCV euro 2 compliant instead of euro 4. It has something to do with the holes daw wherein mas mailiit ang sa euro 4.

It has nothing to do with the latak daw. Its really the viscosity of euro 2 fuel vs euro 4.

Hope this helps.

Tama po kayo but the most common reasons given to us by the service advisers are due to dirty fuel daw. Tsk tsk tsk. Talaga naman mga taga mitsu. At least they did something about it na. Thank you Sir for sharing the info.

We at the Cebu chapter just held a successful fun run /outreach yesterday Sunday. 16 Stradas in convoy. The children in the outreach had a great time and the people and the cars in the opposite lane really took notice of the convoy, literally with several who turned their heads and watched us go by.

For my daily use, I normally get 8-9km/liter on my 2.5 glx 4x2. For this fun run, I normed 11.5km/liter, 213kms using 18.6 liters.

Good pm sir...

I myself bought a GLX last nov 2010. some advise/things i would have differently would be:
a. Insurance. almost always exagerated yung price in paper. parating tinatawaran yan (if not nahahaggle for free). may casa na ang insurance price nila on paper nasa 40plus. dapat nasa 20 something lang. try asking na din kung pwedeng waive yung first deductible. and ask kung may ibang in-house insurance provider, etc.
b. standard freebies (tint, seatcover, mats). to be frank about it, walang kwenta yang mga yan kapag galing sa casa. its something na i would have done differently. i read dito sa tsikot, baka pwede mo irequest na wag na isama yung mga 'freebies' na yon then add discount na lang sa price instead. go for that, kasi you'll just end up replaceing those anyway.
c. extended warranty. may nabasa din ako na kung talagang kuripot sila sa discount, baka pwede niyo mahirit yung 'extened warranty' instead. at least you'll be getting something pa din. (though extened warranty works both ways, it could be good or bad).
d. kung cash buyer po kayo wag niyo sabihin sa agent. akala ko mas makakadiscount kapag cash buyer, yon pala baliktad. agents prefer pala na installment ko hence may give better deals.

shop around sa different branches/casa.
and may recommended agents po ang club, try them.

Goodluck

Nakalimutan ko pala, we had 1 guest montero in the pack. Plus one of the stradas is owned and driven by someone from the sales department of competitor T-Y-T-...

Hi Sir,

Salamat! Sana ma-approve ako sa Metrobank :D may promo sila ngayon kaya mababa. Also sana ma approve yung additional discount na nilalakad ko dun sa Valle Verde.

Sana rin makasali ako sa club this August. Excited na ako :D

Salamat sa inyo!

[incisor]

Hi Guys,

Just got this information from my SA from Valle Verde.

May price increase daw sa September ang Strada. 30K daw for Strada GLX M/T.

Tapos hirap daw humanap ng Red GLX MT kasi may darating daw na 2012 version O.o

Gaano kaya katotoo to?

:D

Good Day,

Asking for food of thought, sa mga user ng FNN air filter for strada, yung OEM part mayroon pang padding, where the filter is seating while the FNN air filter(33-2951) basing on the pics. seems filter lang at walang padding sa ilalim, please correct me if mali ang tingin ko. I also browsed the Hurricane filters, what is your feedback to this hurricane, seems also washable as they claimed & cheaper than FNN by almost half of the price.
Thanks for any info/comments.

[locoroco777]

HI sir RTS!

first po...KNN po yung brand sir hehe....

second yung sinasabi nyo yatang pading is yung thin foam lang which IMO parang wala lang dun use hehe...

I'm Very much satisfied po with KNN...medyo pricey lang pero the best parin talaga rather than the other filters...

[incisor]

Salamat sir,

Pero mukhang mapupurnada pa pagkuha ko. wala na raw 2011 Strada GLX MT (

Phased out na raw, 2012 model na raw darating this august.

Tataas siya ng 30K.

Sabi sa Valle Verde, accessories lang daw ang bago.

Sabi sa Citimotors Makati, may ABS na raw at integrated na ang alarm sa key.

Ano ba talaga totoo?

Hayz

hehe, i got mine in that same branch.

see you soon in club eb

Hi Sir locorocco 777,
Thanks for your reply & sorry for the typo error, so then I'll go for FNN then even price is a little stiff but in the long run still economical pa rin not like the OEM disposable & cost Php2K +. Is the cleaning liquid & oil "A must"to be with?

RTS

[locoroco777]

yup definitely sir....its good to have that recharging kit but I think it would survive without it hehe...

[Ry_Tower]

Sir LR you mean wash lang yung K&N air filter mo and no need for a recharger kit? Parating sa Dec yung order ko eh kaso la yun recharger kit na kasama eh.

Cleaning and recharging is every 70,000 kilometers under regular city driving. Kung may halong offroad, around 60,000 kilometers siguro. So it's economical for maintenance and for fuel consumption (less restrictive compared to the stock paper filter with same mileage).

Actually, pwedeng isang tipid sachet of any liquid dishwashing soap ang gamitin sa cleaning. Ibabad lang (totally submerged) for 1 hour, rinse with slow running water tapos air dry away from sunlight. Pero yung recharger kailangan yung K&N talaga. Di pwede penetrating oil as substitute.
