2011 Mitsubishi Montero Sport [continued]

Sir may i asked what model?

Mine is gtv city driving 6.5 km/l, long drive 8 km/l.

I find it not fuel efficient, considering it is only 2.5 liter.

My previous car is a dmax and it is a 3 liter and also powerful as well. I find it more fuel efficient.

I think break-in phase pa lang yan, titipid pa yan after the 1,000 km PMS.

i too have water marks especially under the mirror

Is this 3m Liquid Wax clear coat safe?

Yes, clear coat safe din yan

mga sir:

pumunta kayo sa tsikot shop sa taguig, 2.5k lang rear camera or carland sa makati.....lahat naman ito may warranty. value for money.

I think kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. The 2.5K camera by tsikot is mounted at the LTO plates screw....may chance na manakaw although pwede yung DIY ng one of the forumers who cut out the plate cover. The one offered by the CASA is OEM kaya pricey and di ito mananakaw because it is mounted at the rear plate lamps replacing the OEM lamps. In order for it to be removed you have to open the trunk door and remove the back sidings to access it. Plus, assured ka na i-honor yung electrical warranty ng Mitsubishi lalo na sa MID, and this is my experience.

So it really depends on what you want, kung important sa inyo ang price, then go for the 2.5K camera, kung important sa inyo ang OEM and warranty not of the camera per se because lahat naman magbibigay ng warranty, but the warranty of the electrical/MID system, then go for the CASA or winterpine camera.

mine is a GTV and using petron diesel max

Thank you for the reply. I was told by my SA to use regular diesel, because base on their experience it maybe the cause of the excessive smoke. I do not have an issue on excessive smoke on idling.

One more thing I have a friend from other forum that works from shell refinery that their is not much difference regular diesel or v power diesel or max.

May SA also owns a Monty.

I hope so too.

Mga sir,

I am going to get my monty by tom, my first concern is since this is our first diesel engine car. i am a bit bothered with the noise of the engine like what people used to say na pag diesel maingay daw ang makina. is this still true for the new monty?

please share some insights about the engine performance of the new montero4x2 gls-v

I been using diesel engine for a long time mazda, nissan and lately isuzu. In fairness montero v is quite engine.

Are you planning on going to Inav to have your gps updated? I've compiled a slide show to help you get there.

*Slicks50 , appreciate the slideshow sir!

I just past through Ortigas avenue there was quite a bit of flooding. I was driving 40km/h, I lost visibility for a full 2 to 3 seconds because of the back wash from the front tires. Is this normal?

sir slick do you mean the splash from your own front tires went up 360º to your windshield?

[Slick50]

Exactly! I can take a video later when I go home and pass through Ortigas again. But I am going to make sure that there are no cars or pedestrians in front of me. Someone mention here before a similar incident when they past through a swollen creek.

If they are non-CRDi, malaki talaga difference. But honestly, mas tahimik Toyota. Pero crdi ng dmax mas maingay nga.

this was the first time i drove the monty through the floods of the metro and i must say that it handles itself pretty well for an SUV. The floods were not too high though, perhaps a foot at the deepest parts. What surprised me was how surefooted the vehicle was at varying speeds, anywhere from 20 to 100 km/hr was very manageable in the rain. Big props to the designers and engineers at mitsubishi!

my error.those figures are for the bridgestone dueler H/T 840. some monteros have this but when i checked my tires again, iba pala

my stock tires are bridgestone dueler H/T 684 II

thus, the tire weight is 38lbs and if replaced with yokohama geolander A-T/S 265/70 17, the variance in height(diameter) is +1.01 and speed variance is +3.29%, weight of this tire is 40.79lbs

for the same tire but size is 275/65 17, the diameter variance is +.47 while speed variance is only +1.55%.weight of this tire is 41.45lbs

Sir I just like to share that oem tires isnt a perfect match after all. On oem, I am running 140kph on my gtv's speedometer, but actual speed readings from 2 gps units read just 132kph. I tried 265 70 17 tires and my readings were identical (gtv's , 2 gps units) meaning, the stock tires are a bit small than what it should be. Changing to 265 70 will be perfect, giving you exact speedometer reading. Power and torque is negligible, we are just talking of 2.64 lbs of rotating mass. Change all the lug nuts with a performance nuts and it's gonna be all even.
