Most likely is u need to repair/replace/overhaul the steering rack assembly. Yan talaga madalas masira sa mga converted delicas eh. Might cost u around 8-9 K for the labor and parts (surplus or from hyundai ???), orig parts could be had but carries a steep price 30K + ata (found some steering rack assembly sa ebay phils at that price range)

Share ko lang po.

Yung friend may Delica na M/T .. binili nya nung year 2001. Tumakbo pa naman pero ... yung ginagastos nya sa maintenance ay sobra-sobra na dun sa pagkakabili nya ng sasakyan. Lahat na yata ng sira ay naranasan na.

- overhaul ng buong pang ilalim
- overhaul ng makina
- promlematic ang electrical wirings
- palit ng alternator
- pag alis nya ng carpet ay puro kalawang pala yung flooring.

This could be an isolated case... pero sobrang daming bumili samin ng Delica at ngayon ay sabay-sabay yata sila gustong ibenta.

pero sabi nung friend ko ay hirap na hirap pang umabot ng 120 km/h ... maski nga umabot ng 100 km/h ay sobrang tagal din. Pero maganda ang 4WD nya... na try nya talaga .. kahit sa ilog eh tumatawid talaga... hehehehe...

Take note : malakas din pala kumain ng diesel.

PEACE !

matakaw talaga nag delica..mine (a/t) could barely squeeze 12 k/l,mostly 8 k/l..100-120kph medyu hirap na din delica ko..ang experience ko for this reasons is:
1.delica is heavier than what you think...kung kala nyu van lang yan,wrong kayu dyan..almost 3 tons ang van..kita naman siguro sa underchasis components...malalaki
2.its of more to a people hauler and off-road use..kaya ganyan lang yan.
3.it ride height is high..having a high center of gravity..

for me naman,going to 5 years na ako owner..i've experience all problems except the engine/drivetrain problems...dito ako sinuwerte..actually this van suits my needs the only draw is the left-side door which i consider a minor problem..if i were to sell my delica it is not because it broke down,but because nagsasawa na ako sa van ko...need to upgrade to a much newer model ika nga...

now this is my prob..to keep this or change to a jdm delica spacgear 4wd..but new models came up every month with newer technology(although luma na din sa country of origins)..im also considering the grandis,sedona,etc..but until i make a decision,i'LL still keep my delica...

di ako mapera,most major investment ang vehicle sa akin..kaya i reaseach well to get my money's worth..

ko kasi dito pag malakihang trabaho at walang deliver sa hardware,personal mechanic namin dito sa bahay..nagpapa-align ako sa zafra(teka kasama diba ito sa unrecommended shops?) visayas ave...pero kasi kakilala ko na ung mechanic dito,e..

tama sa banawe..but my rack and pinion is a refurbished hyundai grace part and was bought at "kool-aire" in banawe..may shop din sila...they can fix your delica there..kasi madami di nagpapagawa ng jdm converts dun(may evo3/civic siR's pa nga kalimitang nakapark dito,e)

along side ng mcdo and jolibee near orthopedic,tapat nung school na forgot ko na ung name..basta,korean parts dealer sila and may aircon and shop..maganda sa banawe ka na pagawa,malapit na sa parts kung maghahanap..

taga saan ka ba?

**chizcake71** · February 12th, 2005 06:59 PM

Walking distance lang ako sa banawe. Tumingin kami kanina sa Banawe ng surplus na steering rack and pinion assembly, 4,500-9000 ang range. Delica daw yoon. How should I know which to buy? Any suggestions? P1000 to 2000 ang labor.
