2 weeks standby

[sparkle_009]

Question again po mga sir... I'll be out of the country for 2 weeks kaya standby lang po yung car sa parking for 2 weeks din.... There's no one to use or drive the car... Sabi po kase ng iba baka daw mag stuck up... is this true? Ano po ba ang magiging problem?

Thanks po.

[Picard]

Ano ba ang kotse mo? YEAR make model and condition?

[baiskee]

hhhmmm...iwan mo sa akin. hehehe

lifting your car is not necessary kasi 2weeks ka lang naman mawawala.

disconnect battery cable wires siguro.

[sparkle_009]

sir, civic vti 2000 a/t po. good condition naman po.

[Horsepower]

nah, i don't something will go wrong with it if you dont use it for 2 weeks.

[5Speed]

2 weeks lang??

okay lang yan... just disconnect the battery and make sure that everything is tightly closed. also check the contents your trunks back passenger areas for some leftover foods or groceries.....otherwise pagbalik mo eh malamang mabantot na yung loob ng car me

or better na nga siguro kung pahiram mo muna sa amin...herherherherherher

[baiskee]

yep...wag ka magiwan ng mga chips sa loob, pa linis mo muna.

carwash, vaccum then cover the car. pwede na iwan yan. mabilis lang 2 weeks.

[sparkle_009]

Salamat po mga sir... I appreciate it very much.

One last thing. Keep all valuables out of sight. Just to be safe from anybody who manages to sneak in (I hope not).

[afrasay]

ok lang yan. kahit di mo na remove battery. yun sammy ko more than two week whenver we are on vacation. It always fires up when I start it. Pero kiss mo muna before you leave and kiss it again when you return.

[OTEP]

Just park it. Now that the sun is up, I rarely use the Pajero. More than two weeks pa siyang natutulog lang sa garahe.

[BoEinG_747]

for two weeks pwede na nga di remove ang battery clamp,

nagyari na sa akin din iyan mahigit two weeks.

wala naman ako mautusan sa bahay para mag alis..
kaya nakakabit lang around 20 days.....
pagdating ko
silip sa loob ng Engine bay
.,baka may daga or pusa na namahay.
check din ng water level ng radiator.,
start ko agad..Ok naman

more than 2 years na din ang car batt ko noon

2 weeks lang? naaaah! you don't even need to disconnect the battery. i leave my car for 1 month everytime.

what i would recommend you do is the ff:

1. don't leave the tank almost empty, fill er up. if the fuel level is low the fuel tank will "breathe" as a result of the air warming up during the day and cooling down during the night. this allows water vapor to condense in the tank. a full fuel tank minimizes water vapor intrusion.

2. clean it inside and out, for 2 reasons. first, ants will not breed inside if they don't have any food, and second, it will be ready for use when you get back. it will be a good idea to spray lysol inside, too.

3. put car cover.

lam mo, para me peace of mind ka, pahiram mo na lang sakin kotse mo for two weeks :D

[PaEnG]

in my case, pag naiimbak ang kotse sa garahe ng matagal, i try to open the vent of the a/c..

lam mo, para me peace of mind ka, pahiram mo na lang sakin kotse mo for two weeks :D

mas mahirap yan bro...baka lalong mawala yung kanyang peace of mind. hehehehehe.

yebo's right.. no need to disconnect the battery. when i go out of the country, minsan one month, minsan two months. pag balik ko ok naman.

just keep it clean inside... mahirap na pagbalik mo eh puro langgam yang loob ng oto mo.

[puroy]

pasingit na rin...paano mga sir kung 5 weeks? alis din kasi me. pwede bang iwan na lang kahit di pinaaandar? 95 civic here, kaka-change oil ko lang last aug. and sa dec. na balik ko.

[5Speed]

the reason that I've suggest to remove the battery is the alarm...nangyari na sa amin to, me covered parking naman kami but everytime na tumatalon yung pusa namin dun sa bubong or medyo nabubundol sya ng mga kasambahay or even malakas na kulog eh nag-iingay yung alarm hehehehe ilang gabi rin daw na binulabog nung sasakyan yung mga naiwan naming kasamahan sa bahay....worst yung susi eh andon sa master's bedroom namin na naka-lock.....

pero kung wala kayong sariling parking....eh hayaan mo na lang mag-ingay yan....

nangyari na rin sa amin na sa sobrang kakulangan sa oras eh di na namin na-check at nalinis yung loob nung sasakyan, ayun pagbalik namin eh ang bantot na nung loob (me bulok na kapirasong saging at hotdog sandwich) at nilalanggam pa dahil me mga naiwan na chocolate yung mga anak ko...nasa ilalim ng upuan....
