ISSUES FOR THE MONTERO SPORT. Please post them here.

[locoroco777]

yun pajero ko 265 din pero malaki talaga difference sa MS. matigas talaga steering ng MS compared dun sa pajero, di ko rin sure kung bakit

check your tire pressure...baka masyado malambot....
check your power steering fluid, baka wala ng laman...

third, try comparing it to other units of montero sport and see if they have the same feel of the steering....

But if yours has a different feel, you should bring it to the dealership and tell the SA about the problem...

At least they bothered to document it, although walang explanation. Like I said, "go figure..." (I mean may kalabuan)

yeah ganun na nga lang siguro.... it seems that the headlight assembly isnt fully sealed. wala rin ako napansin na parang butas para mag-evaporate yun tubig sa loob ng headlight. I just hope hindi kaagad iitim yun loob at mag-dull yun assembly since made from plastic pala ito. sana rin hindi mapundi kaagad yun Headlight bulbs since yun ang major cause ng maagang pagpundi ng bulbs... mahal din kasi ang branded bulbs, sayang naman kung di man lang tumagal ng 1 yr man lang.

If this is the case then it means that my unit has a factory defect because it's just 2 weeks old and has been like that since day 1. But I was expecting it really due to feedback I've heard.

I just read from one of the MSCP threads that something similar is caused by a faulty SVC, but what they are describing is I think is different from what I'm experiencing. I don't have loss of power and the "jerk" is not unpleasant (it's far from the feeling of being bumped from behind), to me that is. I even think it is the max-torque kicking in because it's always at 2k RPM. But I'm not really a car-techy guy so what do I know. Nevertheless I'm really observing everything now since it's new.

im not really sure kung factory defect... maybe more on dirty diesel?... 2 weeks na yun MS ko and napapansin ko medyo madalas na yun stallin effect. 200 + pa lang naman tinatakbo. Yun pajero ko same symptoms din... yun culrpit now eh may leak sa injection pump. kaya malakas sa crudo at parang mahina rin kagad arangkada sa una... pero the other one is a 20 yr old car while the other is a 2 week old car....

ang mali ko lang siguro eh ginamit ko yun free na 10 liters fuel sa caltex courtesy of my SA. pero after that shell diesel na kinakarga ko...

i dont think na tire pressure since hindi ko pa nga binabawasan yun pressure nung nilabas ng casa, at tingin ko overinflated pa nga yun tires. Tingin ko normal lang naman since yun adventure ko at yun isa ko pang pajero eh same lang din ng tigas ng steering. Isa pang factor na din siguro eh dahil mas maliit ang diameter ng steering wheel ng MS

[alainroyce]

On my experience, before malambot yung steering ng MS ko. after my 1k PMS tumigas na sya, sinikipan yata nila or may adjustment na ginawa sa steering, parang dun sa steering column.

Para siguro mailiminate nila yung knocking sound sa steering column..

Not sure kung tama yun, pero bumalik na ulit ngayon medyo malambot after 10k.

UPDATE LANG PO SA STALLING!

What they said at the casa is "if the EGR and SCV is damaged, the micro switch indicator will light up on the dashboard"
In my case, the dashboard has no indication. What did is they tuned up the Small Injection Quantity Learning (SIQL).

IMHO, it implies the learning process of the cumputer to suit your driving character. Too much slow running can train the engine to feed small gas and run slow to balance efficiency of gas consumption. So after a slow run (too much iddling and traffic), and you suddenly sprint fast, the engine computer cant respond immediately.

Comments are appreciated. Know your engine and get the best of it.

After the tune up, the sprint power has declined o yung arangkada of birit ay humina. The sudden stalling and lag was gone but the power had lost dramatically bad. I went back today with driver and they replaced the SCV. They receipt says it cost almost 6 thousand but was under warranty. After one year, aka Ito lag papalitan na. Added maintenance cost.
Ngayon is test time.

mas mabigat than sedan pero magaan pa rin for me, kayang-kaya ng lady driver

*boldventure,

thank you sir for the reply, although my wife will also test drive the unit before we finally get the SUV. At least this forum really gives valuable information to car buyers.

hello,

I own MS 4x4 GLS 2.5L M/T.


2. And talaga bang mabigat ang steering ng MS? have my honda civic pero sobrang layo ng steering force nila. Lagi sumasakit mga balikat ko pag gamit ko ang MS...



thank you

Im driving a 2010 GLS a/t and yon din napansin ko na mabigat pihitin ang steering. Sabi nga ng mga kids ko bakit parang hirap ako kumabig? Mabigat na maliit pa diameter ng steering wheel plus payat pa yung material. Ang dami ng ikot nun manibela pero maliit padin yung kabig. Balak ko tuloy lagyan ng steering wheel cover para tumaba hawakan at baka makatulong sa pagpihit. Meron kaya ralliart design na steering wheel cover?


And another issue na napansin ko, maingay yung auxiliary fan ng ac. mas maingay pa sa makina everytime mag turn on sya. Sinabi ko na sa SA ko at suggest nya isabay na lang daw sa 1T check-up.

[raracho]

Medyo mabigat yata talaga sterring ng MS. I placed a steering wheel cover to fatten up the overall diameter and it helped a lot. After a month though I missed the feel of the leather so I removed the cover. Instantly bumigat na naman ang feel that my hands were slipping pag maniobra. I resorted to tying plastic ties around strategic portions of the steering wheel just to add friction.

[rickygls]

Bro raracho merong available na real leather steering cover sa market that cost around 650pesos, pero hinahanap ko yung ralliart design sana
