Bago ko bili and install new tires. I need to make sure ayus yun pasak na gawa para in case the tires end up with a new user. Hindi ma cause ng harm.
So bumalik ako sa service center to ask what exactly the oil used and if they really used any adhesive or not. The technicians who did them confirmed ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid used) was put and no adhesive was used because they didn't stock any rugby. So I told them to buy a bottle of adhesive (and waited) so they can re do the plugging.
Ito binili nila na adhesive.
I asked them what exact plug they used. They showed me this.
Back of box.
ito loob.
I told him to remove the original string plug and put new string plug with rubber cement used and not put any ATF.
This is the attempt at removal of the plug (please note if the hole is damaged further and what kind of damages).
In the video, the technician tried to convince me meron daw sariling pagdikit yun string pug (kasi it feels sticky). Is it true?
This is when the new plugs were inserted with rubber cement applied.
here the technician tried to convince me the purpose of the rubber cement was just to make it easy to insert, as lubricant. That's why they substituted with ATF. Tama po ba? Diba the main purpose ng rubber cement is to bind them?
What is your comment about the removal of the old plugs and insertion of the new string plug? May old plug bits natira sa loob ng hole surfaces? If hindi ok, then I'd just destroy the tire so it won't end up with new owner. I told them to redone the pasak for sake of a new user who may happened to buy it. Ikaw, bilihin mo ba yun tire na na 2nd pasak above? Dati I bought 2nd hand tires kasi wala ako budget.
A new tire shop is asking me for 2000 pesos for the 4 tires to deduct from the 4 new tires. Saan ba puwede ibenta mga 4 old tires ko na more than 2000? (500 pesos each)? Ok new tires na Toyo 225/60 R17?
