You'll notice the noise really more pag nasa highway ka... When you're driving, cover the shift boot with your hand and you'll notice the difference.

fuel knock ng MB100, usually nozzle tip ang papalitan. after mapalitan yan, tatahimik na sigurado.

yung mcr nga pala is located sa tapat ng GINZA, yung tindahan ng accessories. 289-B Banawe exact address. kung galing ka ng q. ave edsa, right ka ng banawe. after ng first road nasa left side mo siya. bago mo makita yung UCPB sa right. hindi na aabot ng 2nd road yung kanto ng UCPB.

yung rack and pinion nga pala mahal talaga kung papalitan ng buo. wala pa atang surplus na nabibili nito. pero may repair kit na ngayon. all seals will be replaced and will definitely be cheaper. mas mahal nga lang ang labor kesa dun sa repair kit. mahirap kasi gawin. nakita ko na gumawa ang mcr ng rack and pinion, kabisado na rin ni francis. walang tagas! kahit na tulo, wala.

Nagpalit na rin ako ng clutch fan after i got my unit kasi yun daw ang immediate na kailangan. at first, nasobrahan ng lagay ng silicon kaya maski at high speeds maugong pa rin, di nag automatic yung clutch. Then pinabawan ko ng konti. Gumaan ang hata ng makina at wala naman ako problem sa overheating.

i tried changing my oil over the weekend and used a diesel oil additive na STP. before putting on the new oil, I also used an STP engine flush for diesel. Parang medyo nabawasan yung smoke na lumalabas sa lagayan ng oil pero meron pa rin. I tried the flush kasi baka na stock lang piston rings ko and used an additive as advised by my neighbor. Anyway, konting gastos lang naman and it wont hurt trying naman.

ano ba ang usual na consumption ng MB100? Yung sa akin kasi arnd 5 to 6 lang per liter ngayon. I suspect baka di na maganda yung nozzle tips ko. What do you get on your MB100s at the average for both city and long drives?

What I did sa MB100 unit namin, I installed a NextBase Tablet DVD player. You can get the one with radio frequency so you can use your sound system para output ng DVD player. The package comes complete with adapter for cars but you can also use this at home.

At the bottom of the unit, meron sya standard sized na screw similar to tripods. I bought a holder from Concorde pero medyo mahal (almost 3k yata). The Nextbase package comes with a pouch that u can hang sa headrest mo so you can use that na rin. Mas maganda lang kasi tignan yung nasa holder na binili kasi you can adjust the angle of the unit itself.

Don't buy those things that you install sa ceiling, sayang kasi kung magbubutas ka. Pero if you don't mind putting holes sa sasakyan, mas maganda na yun kasi everybody (all your passengers, except you, that is) can see the movies clearly.

BTW, the NextBase doesn't come with a TV tuner so you don't get any soap operas, hehe.

Hey guys so far ok naman yung performance nung MB100 ko after ko siyang pina-tune up sa Constellation......

Pero one thing na napansin ko.......bakit parang malaks siya sa Diesel?

Kasi minsan, parang nagloloko yung gauge........Kapag hindi siya lumalagpas ng 1/2 parang ang bilis niyang umubos ng diesel.......Pero kapag lagpas 1/2 siya mabagal ang consumption niya.......

What do you think guys? Ano kaya problema?

Hindi talaga accurate ang mga fuel gauge of any car dahil masyadong complex ang shape ng fuel tank. The best you can do is do a rough computation :
1. pa-full tank ka
2. reset the odometer
3. pag 1/4 na o malapit na maubos fuel mo, pa-full tank ka uli.
4. record mo kung ilang liters ang reading sa fuel pump
5. record mo from your odometer kung ilang km ang tinakbo mo
6, compute, fuel consumption (km/liter) = reading from odometer or #5(km)/
reading from fuel pump or #4(liter)

Guys need your help........

Just recently nagpalit na ako ng nozzle tip ng MB100 ko.......Kasi yun ang sinuggest sa akin nung isa kong friend na may MB100 din since SOBRANG LAKAS sa Diesel nung MB100 ko......I spend around 250-300 a day.....Paranaque to Taft tapos balik na sa Paranaque....yun lang ang route ko pero kadalasan 200 na ang ginagastos ko.....

So pinapalitan ko sa Constellation yung Nozzle Tips nung van ko........Inabot ako ng mga 8k all in all.......Pero halos wala pa rin pinagbago sa consumption eh......

What do you think should I do? Any suggestions? Recommendations?

Btw around 2-3 weeks after change oil nagbawas siya ng konting langis.....From 3/4 to 1/2 nalang ang langis niya......Is this normal? or medyo bad sign?

Thanks dudes
