hi sir,

help lang po..

ngayon ko lang napansin, while on reverse and the radio is on, hindi gumagana yung reverse/back camera.

pero nung nag try ako naka off radio, ok naman.

just had my volution turbo timer installed last week. (ngayon ko lang napansin yung sa camera)

san po kaya ang problema nito?

thanks. (glx '13)

Electrical problem yan sir. Parang short sa electrical power o d maganda yung kabit ng timer. bat kailangan mo sir ng timer? for me sir d na kailngan yan unless laging malayo yung travel mo o paincline yung lugar ninyo o laging hataw to da max magdrive bago mag park. pacheck mo sir sa kasa o sa trusted talyer. Mukhang mavoid yung warranty mo sa electrical kng makita yung timer mo sir.

Does anyone of you have experienced this?
I have a Monty GTV 2012. Recently, I have sent my unit to DMVV to have my unit checked. The issue here is that whenever I make a hard acceleration (heavy stepping on the accelerator pedal) around 3rd-5th gear (40kph or more) then suddenly releasing it, I hear a weird sound at the rear part of the vehicle, more like the sound of something that is slashing or rubbing. I have already checked the tires and the backing plates, all were fine. Their SA even claimed that this is not an isolated case, as some other units also have this issue but nothing to worry much about. Well, I'm more worried now as I didn't experience this on our other cars and the faint sound have already become more noticeable. I would like to hear some thoughts on this from other monty owners, especially to those who are familiar with this. Thanks a lot.

Oil leak from turbo? Just passed 20000kms oil leak na.
Please give your advice on its possible cause.
Llif its not a loose hose kr something pa warranty naba ito.
Car feels normal except hindi ako satisfied sa fuel consumption. Best na ang 10kms/l pure highway o crusi g at 2000rpm

Thank

If the leak is really coming from the compressor side. Its either:

1. sobrang tagal nyo naka idle
or
2. sobrang dumi na ng air filter ninyo
or
3. May leak ang hose after the turbo (may leak ang intercooler)
or
4. at worst, the seal of the turbo is damaged (rarely happens unless starved with oil or some metal chips is lodge).

Turbo shaft oil seal is like piston ring. There is no soft rubber that will prevent pressurized oil from leaking.

Its the positive pressure of the exhaust that pushes back the oil and prevent oil leak on the turbine side.

Its the compressed air that pushes back the oil and prevent oil leak on the compressor side.

Clean it up and check probable cause 2&3. Avoid probable cause 1 (very long idling) summer na rin kasi ano mas masarap magpa aircon heheh.

If oil leak persist. Its probable cause 4. Pa replace nyo na turbo kung may warranty pa.

In the montero's lifetime maybe the longest idle i did was 30 mins but usually its only 10 mins max. But as you mentioned mainit na, madalas dalas gawin 10min idling at this time. Car is stock, no modifications. Maybe the air filter is worn out with age but not that dirty, i have an air compressor and within the 5k kms oci i usually clean the air filter ( i know not too close to the filter itself) mid point.

Oil starvation?? Medyo sobra nga lagi mag lagay casa service.
Wala namn ako na spot iba oil stains but now i will further inspect.
Experience ko pag ganyan itsura may loose hose pero wala namn.
Well sana hose lang or its crimp lock

So i wont accept a repair kit type job from the dealership.
Pag sira hose/s dapat palit. Pag sira turbo dapat palitan.

Thanks arsen

Another angle, may dumi sa area ng higpitan ng hose from air filter
