2012 Montero Sport Owners

[kebsikon]

awaiting feedback here also about the alarm. the manual for the alarm which came with the unit refers to a valet switch and a valet mode? but our keys have only the lock and unlock buttons and the car manual does not mention a valet mode. i wonder if the manual is for the alarm installed? it says " PA130P2-V4 MANUAL FOR KEYLESS ENTRY UPGRADE SYSTEM". do you have the same?

thanks a lot

Alam mo sir kung anong brand nung car alarm?

sirs matanong lang regarding sa nakuha ninyong tires... yung 4x2 GLS-V na nakuha namin came with Dunlop tires, sa inyo rin ba ganito? yung 2009 4x4 SE kasi namin naka bridgestone then yung iba naman na kumuha earlier this year and late last year naka Yokohama's daw... ano po nakuha nyo tires?

although i like the thread pattern and width 'profile' of the dunlop, mukhang mataba! hehehe

[QUOTE=pingpongdad;1927681]the 4x4 gls-v has the bridgestone ones[/QUOTE

hehe. it should be gls-v 4x2 pala dapat i believed they've used the bridgestones prior to 2012 model even on the 4x2 model ?

Question lang mga sir about the alarm of the 2012 glsv. Nag alarm yung montero ng 3 times sunod sunod sa garahe ko. Wala naman impact or nagbukas ng door. sinubukan ko disarm/arm using the remote pero nag alarm ulit ng kusa. Nilagay ko sa valet mode using the red switch under the dashboard tapos inactivate ko ulit using the same switch. Naging ok na ulit, hindi na nag alarm. Ano kaya nagyari? Baka kasi maulit ulit. Thanks.

Question lang po. Required ba maglagay ng turbo timer sa montero na vgt? Tnx.

i dont think its required. but it will definitely help prolong the life of your turbo. actually my unit doesn't have a turbo timer installed yet, but im planning to have one

i asked their technician about it, googled it several times, and it SEEMS, with the usual use of our Montys (max of 5-7 passenger travel, no heavy hauling, no heavy off-roading, no very high revving), a waiting time for "slowing the turbo vanes" before turning off the engine is not needed. a website explains further that the slowing down (lowering revs) we do before we actually park even after ordinary long travel is enough to cool down and slow the vanes of the turbo.

but then again, the last word from the technician "para sigurado, maghintay muna ng 1-2 mins bago patayin ang makina, wala naman mawawala kung maghintay".

so being an anxious owner of a brand new car with a fancy engine (vehicle costs a million and a half), i just decided to heed his advice to wait a min or so before turning the engine off...to be safe.

don't know actual cost of turbo timer installation by casa to avoid voiding warranty, but i guess it may be expensive.

sorry, if this further confuses you. if there is no standard answer from "experts" especially from the dealer itself, they actually don't know if you really need to wait before you turn the engine off. i also did not read anything about this in the manual.

good to read the opinion of others hence the beauty of fora like these!

just my 2 cents, normal driving with little hataw, i think waiting 30sec on the turbo timer is good enough. this is what i do with my turbo civic before. actually, driving slow from your village gate to your house then parking slowly is good enough

pero kung malayong fun run, puwede na 1-2min wait (or more)

first price from casa in mits. MOA 5k for turbo timer( installed) (TT,unit price outside around 2.5k to 3k)

first i ask SA if TT is necessary sabi hindi n daw kasi intercooler,, ngek... kaya nanghingi ako ng advice s may alam s makina (chief engineer) and what you read in the internet that s exactly his ans...

1)1-2 mins bago patayin ang makina, wala naman mawawala kung maghintay". (waiting for 2 to 3 minutes can save you some cash)

2)the slowing down (lowering revs) we do before we actually park even after ordinary long travel is enough to cool down and slow the vanes of the turbo.


(its a way to prolong the life of your turbo)

but if you don't feel waiting after a long trip its nice to have one

Nakakalito lang kasi. May mga agent na nakakausap namin na kailangan ng cool down meron namn nagsasabi na hindi na need ng cool down bago patayin un makina. First time lang namin mag turbo. Ano ba talaga? Tnx.
