not using your car for a week

[cardo]

anong preparations or things you do when you don't use your car for a week? before you stowe it away in the garage?

lately yun diesel van lang ginagamit ko for commute to work and home - para tipid sa crudo. my other car just sits in the garage. i just start it up every two days. then gagamitin lang on sunday usually sa church and/or mall.

If its only a week, nothing to be done...
I also alternately use 2 cars. 1st car I use
4 days a week, the second is 3 days a week.
When its not being used, the car just sits there
in the garage for 4 days. I don't even bother
starting it to warm it up or sumthin..

wala. ako nga 1 month wala sa pinas e car cover lang.

depende sa condition ng battery , if its that old , disconnect it yet kung 1 week lang ay i dont think kailangan ito , maybe months advisable na ito to avoid draining the battery .

[sauman]

ganito rin cycle ko pag ginagamit ko yung kotse na iniwan sa akin ng kuya ko, once a week ko rin ginagamit yung corolla niya (tuwing coding yung sasakyan ko) at so far wala namang nagiging problema sa bat nito, pero just to make sure wina-warm up ko rin yung sasakyan at least every 3 days

[kinyo]

esi ko halos hindi nagagamit, 2 months na yata, warm-up every 2-3 days, handbrake disengaged para hindi dumikit, naka-nuetral lang ang transmission kaya bato lang ang kalso, merong cover

nung minsan ginamit ng pamangkin ko, dumaan sa baha, nasira ang horn at bearing ng a/c compressor, pinaayos, akala ok na, pero nadiskubre ko 2 weeks later after another bagyo (continuous very humid weather) na nabasa pala ang carpet at nagkaroon ng amag, nagka-amoy amag syempre, nilinis ko ang basang carpet at tinanggal ang amag, kung anu-ano ibinuga ko para mawala ang amoy, hirap matanggal ang amoy ... i ended up using baking soda, ayun malaking improvement na ... kung hindi umubra ang baking soda, inihanda ko na ang white vinegar spray na effective din daw

i'm starting to worry about wheel bearings and/or tire deformation so maybe 4 pieces of jackstands might be coming soon

Hi, Newbie here, Just want to ask for recommendations.

I"ll be getting my new vehicle from the dealership this coming week, they informed me that the OR/CR will take 15 working days; likewise, they said I can drive it to home but I can't use it on public roads.

Do I need to disconnect the battery if I just let the car sit in the garage for 15 days? any other stuff I need to do to safely store the car?

I'd rather not risk using it inside the village, while it has controlled access I don't think it qualifies as having private roads since there are commercial areas inside, there are also police and traffic enforcer outposts, I'd rather not become a victim of this country's notorious government crooks.

Many thanks in advance.

You'll be fine. Just display the conduction sticker and temp plate conspicously. They don't really bother new cars anymore.

I frequently travel out of town/country, sometimes for more than a month. Your car will be fine.

If you're that afraid then don't get the car from the dealer until the plates release.

i don't use my car for 2 to 3 weeks at a stretch.
no special preparation whatsoever.

if i may,
the ORCR requirement is for public roads.
does your homeowners' association have provision ruling for such?

If that’s the case, just leave it at the dealer nalang.

That’s what i did with my truck eh. Truck arrived at around first week of December. Picked it up around December 20 na.

The homeowner's association doesn't have any clear rules, went to them a few days ago and gave conflicting advice. One said it's alright to drive around then another recommended that I refrain from driving the vehicle until I get the OR/CR so as not to invite trouble from the police or enforcers.

Thank you. I'll consider that, even though I've heard stories where some people from dealerships abuse the cars left in their care and do some tinkering so as to conceal signs of it.

that being the case,
use your car within the confines of the private village.
you should be fine.

if by the book and follow rules, hindi po talaga pwedeng gamitin. but if needed naman for convenience rather than commuting, and that's why you bought a car, pwede din naman, nobody will notice as long as you have the conduction plate attached on the plate area and have the papers handy in your car. just don't commit any violations and you'll be all good. if ever naman pinara ka and asked for papers or stuff, you can always alibi na kaka release lang or you just got it from the casa then papa gas mo lang cya then you're driving it home.

[_Qwerty_]

will not work if they ask for the sales / delivery docket.. nakalagay don kung kailan ni release yung unit..

years ago,
my SA gave me multiple copies of the same document, each dated differently...
"doc, heto pang this week.. itong pangalawa, ay for next week... and for the week after that, ito naman, and..."
heh heh.
