one thing i noticed when i inspected my unit for the first time is the battery. its not maintenance free & only the + terminal is covered with red rubber. the negative terminal doesnt have a black rubber cover
ganyan din po yung isa naming car when we got it a few years back, not maintenance free and only the + terminal is covered w/ red rubber.. sabi nila ganyan daw talaga un, though i didnt ask na kung bakit.hehe :D
re: the clutch, kahit po diin na ung clutch, di parin smooth.. yung sanyo ba di ganeto? swabe ba?![]()
hindi talaga maintenance free ang battery nakiata ko na sa factory picture sa thailand on topgear ph. ang brand pa yata is HITACHI AT GS GANYAN NAKA KABIT SA MONTERO SPORT. BUTI PA PAG LOCAL ASSEMBOLED MAINTENANCE FREE NA ANG STOCK BATTERY. AT DOON SA TERMINAL NA NEGATIVE WALA TALAGA RUBBER COVER KAHIT SA IBANG BRAND KAHIT IYONG XWIND NG TATAY KO WALA DIN RUBBER COVER ANG NEGATIVE TERMINAL
Upgrade to an Amaron battery? Hehe.
Only the positive terminal is covered since the vehicle uses a negative body ground system and it wouldnt matter if the hood actually made contact with the negative terminal od the battery.![]()

^the hood will never get into contact with the battery terminal because there is a heat insulation covering attached underneath the hood itself
tsaka hindi kasi motolite baka hindi tumagal![]()
That insulating thing is just about worn down on my 95 Toyota. But the terminal cover seems to be holding up well.
The terminal cover also averted a possible disaster when a pal set some tools down on the battery during routine maintenance. One end of the long wrench landed on the cover, the other landed on the terminal cover. Hehe

I suspect yung Alarm na locally installed lalo na kung meron tong immobilizer function. kasi dinemo sakin kung pano i disable yung alarm once na nagloko yung Smart Key. then yun nung pinatay ko ayaw magstart. pinress ko yung unlock then push start, gumana na.
In case pala yung Key nawalan ng battery, open the car with the physical key at the passenger side door, this will trigger the alarm. so kailangan i disable yung alarm by using the override/valet switch located under the dash on the drivers side.
mejo dissapointing yung mga problems na lumabas since kalalabas palang. pero kayang kaya pa naman ayusin ng CASA.
^pag natagalan nilang ayusin yang new ride mo, request for a service unit, para may nagagamit ka
hassle yan eh
