It does a nice job of cleaning your radiator including the engine block (the thermostat was removed during the cleaning process)

Pero nasayang din lang pala yung pera ko kase may leak yung radiator ko na plastic top. Instead of having it repaired i just bought those local but quality made evercool radiators. I plan to have that Lav ramon thing done to my evercool siguro after a few yrs.

there are 3 places in MMla I know of
-AUTOTECHNIKA fairview
-caltex in e rod. (where a carbon clean located
-servitek (3 sisters kapitolyo)

curious lang ko since I saw the machine same time I went to these places

googled it out of curiousity- wanted tsikoteers 2 centavoses on this

[Supierreman]

yep sa Carbon clean yung pinagawan ko. Its around 900 for the cleaning service + 2Liters of Caltex coolant (Php220 per liter) pero you can bring your own coolant din.

Someone posted at HCP sa Dallas sa Tomas Morato meron similar way of cleaning the radiator. They call it descaling and mas mura daw kaysa Lavramon

afaik... lavramon is the process term or labatiba ng radiator and engine block or whole cooling system.. descsaling machine yung gamit sa process..
correct me if i'm wrong na lang mga paps heheh.. Sammy's sa Sucat,Pque. nga pala ko nagpapa-service nito..

[FrankDrebin]

Meron nga sa GoodYear Kapitolyo in front of 3 sisters as Sir rlp1099. For Php900 parang medyo pricey siya. Ano pala ang difference nito sa DIY na cleaning?

[buknoy2002]

how often should this be done?

[ILuvDetailing]

Do they still charge 900 if you bring your own coolant + distilled water?

[benchph1]

im going to get my sx8's radiator "lavramoned" :D this saturday..will post my feedback on this thread

[Supierreman]

bing,
inquire mo muna sa dallas baka mas mura :D

ILD,
yep 900 is for the lav'ra'mon procedure only (it also includes 1 bottle of their cleaning solution)

[ILuvDetailing]

Supierreman: Any advantages over DIY radiator flush? Tsaka ano difference sa procedure ng Dallas at Lav'ra'mon? Thanks.

[OTEP]

I think Lav'ra'mon is the name of the machine (or the process). Mancor and Dallas both have that machine.

wiretap_md had his Vitara undergo said procedure. He was pretty satisfied with it.

[mantoy]

yung machine na yan ang gamit sa Dallas for their descaling process. had my car brought there late last year. if you bring ur own coolant a little less than P600 ang charge. but that was last year pa ha.

[Supierreman]

ayun mas mura nga sa dallas! napost ni whoopass sa HCP 300 lang daw sa dallas pero that was way back early 90s pa yata :D Reasonable price na yung 600 sana di pa tumaas :D


ILD and frankdrebin,
DIY cleaning diba simple radiator flush lang? yung Lavramon procedure i think the cleaning solution does a better job in dissolving those deposits sa radiator saka malakas yung flow with that machine sa tingin ko mas nalilinis nya mabuti yung radiator pati na yung engine block.

San to? Address? Landmarks? mabisita nga. hehehe. TY sa info.

[odell]

hinde ba same as spraying it with pressurized water?

[Supierreman]

ILD,
Dun sa Tomas morato.. coming from E rod right turn to Tomas morato a few meters lang nasa right side yung Dallas. Meron silang sign na Caltex lube express.

papagawa mo xtrail mo or ibang oto? baka masyado malinis pa pag yung xtrail bago pa kase.

Yung sa CR-V ko na 5 yrs na nung pinalinis ko sa Lavramon konti lang dumi lumabas eh.. mga small specks lang. pero yung 96 civic nung kakilala ko sa HCP putik daw lumabas sa radiator nya hehe.


odell,
yung pag spary ng pressurized water i think sa exterior part lang ng radiator yun para matanggal yung mga dahon saka putik.

[ILuvDetailing]

Supierreman,
Para may reference lang ako in the future. Tsaka maalikabok dito sa amin. Ayaw ko mangyari uli yung nangyari sa Vitara namin na nagoverheat dahil nabara yung radiator.

[odell]

dapat ko ata paservice un sa alfa ko.. dem.. ang bilis amg over heat pag traffic...
