New Adventure No Under Coat??

[RafRaf]

People, dont forget about your yearly rust warranty checkup! I had mine last year (even though it was already a month off, sinabay ko kasi sa PM). No rust formation. And last month I spotted small rust on the passenger door, malapit sa fram ng window, (maliit lang siya) lagyan ko ng konting grease for protection. Brought it to casa for my 35K PMS and raised my concern and walang ka-proble-problema inayos nila free of charge - sa job order nakalagay it cost P1.8K. Then, I had my second year rust warranty checkup again - no rust formation ulit. 30mins lang ang checkup and free of charge! It is really worth it!

The service engr informs me of bumps seen in underchassis most likely due to rocks, but no rust formation there! They recommend 3M undercoating (well, they'll do that)... but I am confident I won't need it for at least another year.

the new adventure has a three warranty against rust. what is important is that on a year anniversary you have to bring it the your dealer for warranty check for three years. if you don't do it the warranty is void, so it is important to do the annual check-up.
if you do the undercoating during this period, the warranty against rust will be void also.

Mga sir im newbie here....... i just like to share my knowledge and experience about undercoating....

Undercoat is different from rust proof........

All new mitsu cars have 3 years warranty for rustproof. They (casa) claims that their units have undercoat as well. But I doubt it.

As what i do with my L300 van, Pajero field master and my latest advie, from casa i have it undercoated outright. habang malinis pa ilalim and rust free as in. these does not void the warranty of rust proof from casa.

Upto now my old L300 underchasis (94) is rust free, same with pajero (2002).

When I availed of the casa's collision repair service two years ago through insurance, they threw in free undercoating as well.

casa has ol d pandaraya options, they r offering 3m undercoat for less then 5k pero may warranty naman na 3yrs, and trick nila once u failed to bring ur car for km tsek up at mag reklamo ka then ikaw na ang bahala sa mga complain mo

that is too bad..hoy mga taga casa heto sa inyo!

Lahat naman ng kotse walang undercoat coz they're all treated before painting, undercoating is just an aftermarket thing that dealers make money off. Do a search about undercoating here we have a long thread about it.

Basically it's not a necessity but not a bad idea either if done correctly, but just for the sake of the thread title, bnew cars shouldn't have that gunk underneath.

Sa tingin ko ok na po ang factory rust proof ng Mitsu. Nagkameron kami ng L300 & LancerGTi, ang Lancer 14yrs sa amin tapos ang L300 e 12yrs sa amin e wala naman po kami naging problema sa rust. Ito Honda namin e hindi namin pina-undercoat e meron na kalawang, 7yrs na po sa amin ang Honda. Sa Starex naman po namin e meron undercoat ang problema e nababakbak po sya ng pressurize water sprayer.
