Not sure where you can buy surplus fuse box of our dear Vanette, bro. You can try Evangelista or Banawe....

Anyway, you can use a non-Vanette fuse box and just mount it properly. There is nothing special about the fuse box....

Pwede pala kahit hindi Vanette, honestly I don't know that. I only know few things about car because I am outside the Philippines and just learn to drive only for a year. I will call my wife and will ask he to replace it immediately.. Thanks for the info bro...

On the E10,- I guess you mean that there is no issue with the way the van drives, right? Have you inspected the fuel lines and the carb? I am just benchmarking with you, because I myself have not felt any degradation in the van's performance nor seen any physical manifestation with using E10....TIA.
9202:toothbrush:

Correct. In my case, driving E10 is the same as in driving the old Unleaded.
No, I have not inspected the internals of my van, since I don't know anything about that stuff.
I just stick to the regular 5k kms tuneup/changeoil, and let the mechanic tell me what to look out for.

Sa kin din sunog na, ginagawan lang ng paraan ng electrician, kaya ok pa rin hanggang ngayon. Nagpa-canvass na ko dati sa Banawe at meron naman nakita. Less than 2k. I don't know the exact place, and I forgot the exact price.

[smdelfin]

just wanna share... i just converted my vanette to lpg. Grabe sobrang laki ng natitipid ko! almost 50% savings! yeah! before pag sinusundo ko si misis 250pesos ang karga ko sa gas, but now 120pesoos na lang on lpg! yeah! hehehe

Uy pareho tayo! ... ng natitipid!

I tried filling up the Vanette with Petron-Blaze (still pure gasoline AFAIK), and guess what?- There is some level of hesitation on the ride when accelerating! I guess the vehicle's engine is not tolerant of high octane gasoline....

For my case, the fuseholder of my A/C got whacked, when the compressor was acting up some years ago and I kept on using it, as it was intermittent anyway and we were on travel (until it gave up on us).

Anyway, the electrician just removed the connection from the original fusebox-holder and installed a solitary fuse holder for the A/C.

It also gave me the opportunity to convert from R12 to R134a, and to reposition the second condenser (heat exchanger) to underneath the seat of the front passenger.....

sir bongskie, talaga bang kailangan pang painitin yung makina bago gamitin, yung sa akin kasi (93 model) every time gagamitin ko basta mga 8hrs na d umaandar (engine off) kailangan ko muna paandarin engine start) or painitin yung makina ng mga 5-10 mins kasi namamatayan sya, kahit nasa 1 na yung menor nya ganun pa din.

[=NismO=]

guys ask ko lang, bakit ganun yung headlight ko, pag unang bukas ok naman sya then pag pinatay ko then binuksan ko ulit mawawala na yung right side. then mga after 1-2mins bigla na lang sya magkakaron. then yung high beam ko totaly nawala na. pati yung sa panel gauge na indicator ng hi-beam nawala na.

Same is true with my 98 Vanette baby, bro, eversince I acquired it more than a decade ago....

I did not research if there is a fix.

Check your headlight relays, bro.

Logic lang iyang switch sa may manibela. It enables a relay to connect the headlights to the battery (high current)...

[=NismO=]

san po nakalagay yung mga relays? and san din nakalgay yung mga fuse box? tnx..

[CVT]

Fuse box,- underneath the steering wheel column, to your left....

Relay for the headlights, will look for it later.....

Ako naman gusto ko matutunan kung asan ang control/pihitan ng idling pag no load, at pihitan pag may load (aircon). I suppose magkaiba yun.

[shauskie]

*michaelszky - pagmaganda ang pagkakatune ng carb mo using pure gas, papalo lang sa 200-300rpm ang engine mo sa umaga (or cold engine) dahil walang autochoke ang vanette natin, then aakyat sa normal na 800rpm (kung dun sya nakaset for idling), unlike EFI, pumapalo ng 1500rpm on cold engine startup then balik sa 800rpm. pag E10 fuel gamit mo, hard start ka na, and mamatay talaga pag umandar man kasi mas baba pa ang idling mo (mahiraphirap i-burn ang E10 than pure gas..mas richer mixture ng konti kailangan mo, so kailangan mo magretune for E10 fuel). kailangan mo apakan na lang muna yung accelerator pedal para tumaas yung idle for ilang seconds para uminit makina until mag stable na rpm mo sa normal idling. matagal na ang 5 to 10 mins na warmup para hindi mamatay engine. pagmaganda tune up mo, mga 30sec to 1min of cold engine start pwede mo na sya drive, di sya mamamatay, mas mabilis pa magwarmup.

*smdelfin - nasa tabi ng kabitan ng throttle cable sa carb yung tinutukuran ng vacuum canister plunger ng para sa dagdag idling pag nag activate yung aircon. may adjusting screw dun para ma iset mo sa parehong idle speed ang engine pag may aircon at wala.

*nismo - try mo hanapin sa ilalim ng dashboard malapit sa unahan ng cool box yung mga relays. i'm not sure kasi yung sa vanette ko modified na yung pang headlight at horn lang, nakalocate na sa steering column cover, malapit sa ignition switch.

Mga pare, me problem ako sa vanette ko. Me nag leak sa baba ng intake manifold , daluyan ata ng tubig kasi nag overheat ang sakyan ko. Patulong naman kung ano pangalan nun, aluminum ang make niya at doon kinakabit dalawang hose isa papunta radiator yung isa pa punta ito sa engine. Anong tawag dun kaya kasi papalitan sabi ng mekaniko, doon ang leak hindi sa hose. Pa advise naman po.

Bro., 14 ang size ng gulong natin. Mas mababa ang unahan na tambol dahil leaf spring iyan kaya yumuyukod overtime pag naluma.... I think it will be best kung ia-akma mo, to judge for yourself if it will work.... Just to share, I still have the original tyre/mags configuration and when I was traveling at 100KPH or so at NLEX a few years ago and I hit a sudden change of grade on the road, my right front tyre scraped the body, torsioning and cutting a screw in the process...
