good morning sir, why not bring to the dealer and let them fix it. if not, try spraying wd40 on the silencer kit. (rubber between leaf spring)

baka wala pang silencer kit yung leaf springs nya sir, since 600km pa lang ang odo reading.

anyway, as for the squeaky leaf springs sir, try bringing it back to your casa and opt for the silencer kit for the leaf springs. and if the problem persists, apply WD40 or that Singer Oil made for sewing machines as the other owners suggest.

as for my opinion regarding the squeaks, hinayaan ko na lang yung sa strada ko since it comes and it goes. minsan tahimik, minsan parang may nakatagong daga sa likod ng strada ko

Hi bro tc,

sorry about your beloved strada. i know how you feel.
nabangga din ako nong march this year. sa may bumper din.
basag whole fog lamp ko including housing. pati fender sira.
50K ang gastos pero shouldered ng insurance (tagal lang ng service).
participation fee lang na 10k.

ang ginawa ng casa, pinalitan ang whole bumber, fog lamps and fender.
hopefully hindi aabot ng ganyan kalaki ang gastos mo sir tc.

looking forward to meet you here in davao!

sir, pwede kaya ang h4 bulb dyan? naka HID din kasi ako eh. relying on the diffuser for a more focused beam.
mas maganda output ng projector.
how much will it cost kaya din sir?
can we also fit angel eyes din?

sir, paano yung waxing and waning of power? meron kasi weird sa Strada ko ngayon....

even with a steady throttle pressure, may naririnig ako na intermittent na tunog. Parang wong, wong, wong, wong (as if pina-pump yung pedal). around 2,000 rpm nag sisimula. below that, wala naman. Pag 3,000 and above, hindi ko sure kung wala or baka nalulunod nalang ng ibang tunog. Steady naman yung RPM needle and speedometer habang nagyayari yun.

Napansin ko ito mga 2 weeks ago, kasabay ng feeling na hindi gumagana yung Turbo (naging linear yung acceleration vs, isang biglang hatak at around 2,500 rpm). Nadala ko na sa casa the next day, and wala naman silang nakitang problema. Biglang hatak na ulit pag dating ng 2,500, kaso meron parin nung wong, wong, wong. Sorry, hirap i-explain eh. Haha.

Looking for ideas, para maisabay ko na sa 5,000 km check up. Thanks!

Last Saturday night, while driving my strada (2007 3.2 GLS Sport A/T) I experienced waxing and waning of power while accelerating at Nagtahan bridge which lasted for a few seconds then again it happened while at Gov. Forbes and this time my "check engine" warning light litted.

Earlier last month, I experienced the same, lasting only for a few seconds but did not recur after observing until this episode. Kinabahan ako ngayon kasi may kasama nang warning lights na hindi na namatay. I was able to drive my strada home in QC. I called my service agent and he volunteered to get my strada to bring it to Diamond Motors Q. Ave.

Monday, the casa checked and fixed my strada. The problem: Broken / clogged Suction Control Valve (SCV). The solution: They replaced it. The cost of replacement: FREE !!! kasi under warranty pa, hehehe. I was absolutely happy kasi my 3 years warranty will expire in 2 months at nakahabol pa.

So presently, my strada is in the pink of health.

Yun lang...

chief, nararanasan ko din yan wong wong wong na yan from time to time. pero hindi sya madalas e. most likely bad fuel ang cause nyan sir. kasi ako everytime magpakarga ako ng diesel, full tank palagi, saka hindi lang sa iisang gas station (usual ko nararanasan to sa Shell sa may Maine Ave. approaching cubao underpass, pero ngayon naranasan ko din sa Shell Oliveros). minsan kapares ng wong wong wong na yan e yung intermittent spurts ng power. pero pag nakaandar na ko ng mga around 15mins or so, or basta mainit na yung makina (pag nasa gitna na yung temp gauge), ok na sya ulit

other strada owners experience this?
