Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

Kailangan sir open ang gear para sure makita ang mga parts sa loob. Pag okay ang carrier, bearing, pump at clutch lining. Nasa valve body lang iyan. Pwede din marepair ang valve body. 03-72Le o A44DE ang model ng gear mo sir.

Sir MoonbeamTURBO may kilala ako gear specialist. Eto sir contact number 09176984278 name sir Mr jun.

*mrjeff Nice one! Thank you sa recommendation, sir! Si Mr Jun saan siya base? Subukan ko tawagan siya bukas.

I see. Pag for example valve body ang kailangan irepair, gaano kamahal kaya at gaano katagal gawin ito? Tapos paano pag carrier, bearing, pump at clutch lining, gaano din kamahal at katagal usually?

The APV is now back on the road! I just bit the bullet and pushed through with the casa service. The problem was solved by changing the ATF and transmission filter. But the problem is that there are no parts for the transmission filter outside and I need the car fixed asap.

Total bill is PHP 10,665 after discounts (originally PHP 11,903) with the services mentioned above, plus some adjustments for valve tappet/clearance.

They are recommending me to change the P/S fluid, gear oil, fuel pump and filter which will bring the total amount to around PHP 31,500. I don't see any issue with the fuel pump though. For the P/S and gear oil, I'll just have it changed by my suking talyer.

The van is running great! Thanks to everyone!

Napapangiwi pa rin ako sa gastos ng APV ownership. P10,665 for an ATF oil change!?!?! I survived 165,000kms without changing the fuel pump and filter (nasa loob ng fuel tank kaya magastos labor). Among the fluid changes, gear oil lang ang medyo advisable at medyo cheap.

If I were to do it all over again, after ng warranty ko pa sana na-dispose APV ko. Bakit kasi mabigat ang sentimental value sa akin, the APV being the first car I bought dito sa Pinas.

The Swift on the other hand is really something. I love this car.... so far hehe.

[MoonbeamTURBO]

*Macky Hahahaha I know how you feel! First car ko din itong APV at daming memories ako dito! Sa totoo lang, dependable naman talaga ang APV pero super mahal mga parts at service. Tapos hindi lang mahal, wala pang mahanap! :D

Tawa nalang ako ng tawa nung PHP 10,665.00 bill ko eh hahaha. Ibang kotse namin hindi naman ganito kamahal pag palit ng ATF. Filter palang is PHP 5,544 na, special order pa. :D

APV Update: Changing tires. Front tires muna palitan ko. Yung Kumho Radial 857 na nireplace ko nung 2012 both nagoblong na. Got around 48,000 km from it. Not bad na din vs. stock Bridgestone tires (only lasted me around 35,000 km, out of stock din nun).

New tires are Kumho PorTran KC53 185R14C 100R. Phased out na yung Kumho Radial 857. Looks more like H/T tires than the 857, plus higher speed rating.

Congrats! Another Apv is on the road na may makakasama ng makita sa daan hehe.

Talaga bang mahirap mag hanap ng gagawa sa labas instead of casa if casa talagang mahal. Parts mahirap din mahanap? Pero kung parts availability meron nga sa casa pero yun lang mahal? Parang nakaka depress tuloy owning an apv grrrr

Beep beep brother! See you around.

Yup, medyo mahirap yung parts. Yung gagawa, depende din. Alala ko 2 years ago yata bumili ako ng brake shoe. Ayun, half day umikot ng Banawe walang parts. Bagsak casa parin. PHP 6,500.00 for one pair of brake shoe!

Mine is at 75,000+ km, 2009 model year SGX A/T (Type 2). My mileage is more or less the same as yours for city driving pero usually 6 km/L ako. For highway driving, I can push 10 km/L.

I find your mileage surprising because you are driving a manual yet it drinks gas like an automatic. :|

Hahaha yes! Naexperience ko din yung engine roar. Can't remember how I solved it. Umingay siya nung nagpalit ako ng air filter. Pero yung next ko na servicing nawala for some reason.

Tama ka dyan sa sports car hahaha! APV natin mid-engine, rear wheel drive. Parang Ferrari at Lamborghini lang wahahaha!

[rey752]

Now sir moonbeam,wala ka ng engine roar? Naiingayan kase talaga ko sa ugong ng makina nito.my FC is worst I guess dahil sa puro short distance lang ako ngayon.(rapid,moon ilan usual travelled distance nyo? )


Just to add I'm not my radio din pala most of the time kung gamit ko man sobrang mahina lang.kaya focus ung sense of hearing ko sa engine.

[JonJon Villegas]

guys papa change oil ako sa shell, gusto ko fully synthetic.. ano sasabihin sa kanila na pangalan para sa apv natin, wala ako dala kundi sasakyan lang. ty

[Dexterity]

5w30 ata gamit sa atin. Tapos 5w40 yung meron sila. Ganun ginawa sa akin last time.

[JonJon Villegas]

0w40 pinagamit yung ultra nila fully synthetic. thanks

[JonJon Villegas]

5w40 is pang diesel nakalagay

Yes sir, wala na. Pero hindi ko alam exactly kung paano nawala yung roaring noise. Nawala siya during periodic change oil/maintenance ko. Hinigpitan yata yung air box or something. Check mo yung airbox kung ok pag install. Kasi pag rev doon ko siya napapansin lalo na pag mabigat apak ko.

Dati usual mileage ko 180 km/week. Ngayon 50 km/week nalang siguro. Usually yung isang kotse ko yung ginagamit ko ngayon kasi lagi ako magisa nalang. Pero this Christmas season madalas APV gamit ko (Christmas hauling haha).

Average fuel mileage is around 6.5 km/L.

Updates on the APV:

Yung hesitation bumabalik nanaman. Pero hindi na talaga transmission ito. Hinala ko fuel pump na or yung ignition coil. Pag medyo babad ako sa traffic (especially after 30-60 mins of driving) medyo may sensation na umuubo yung makina pag aabante from standstill. Tapos pag gusto ko ng point-and-shoot na power hindi masyado maganda yung response.

Pag inuubo yung kotse pinapakiramdam ko yung revving pag naka N or P ako. Ayun, parang rough yung unang buga niya. Dapat swabe yung rev pag unang tapak sa gas — yun yung normal feel niya.

Earlier this week, pumunta ako ng Suzuki Service Center. Napalitan na nila yung transmission fluid dahil may ganito akong reklamo dati. Ok naman daw yung transmission, walang problema na daw, pero may konting hesitation pa. So nirecommend din nila mag replace ng fuel pump (PHP 15,000+ yung quote). Baka ito na nga talaga yun.

Pansin ko din mas malakas uminom ng gas yung APV ko. Kanina nag pa-gas ako, parang mabilis bumaba yung gauge.

Medyo similar dito yung symptoms: http://tsikot.com/forums/suzuki-cars...65/index2.html

Yung PHP 15,000+ na quote buong fuel pump module na yun. Baka may ibang alternatives other than replacing the whole thing? Like change fuel filter lang dahil madumi na?

Merry Christmas to all!

Sir moon,I remember one time meron akong kasabay sa Suzuki Caloocan same ng sinasabi mo ang pinalitan ignition coil nasa 4.5k-6.5k ata per piece Yon.sabi nya nag power loss daw pag mainit na yung engine.
