Hey guys,

any way we can improve the FC of our APV? 5km/liter talaga pag pure city drive.

Although when i went 100Km north of Cebu it went up to 8.3/liter so ok lang.

I have Type II A/T 45,900km odo reading

Had my emission test the other day, sabi ng suki tester ko normal daw:

here's the reading:

CO2 10.08%
CO 0.04%
HC 98 ppm
O2 7.63%
Lambda 1.50
AFR 21.89

this was taken at idle, normal operating temperature.

any thoughts on this? please share.

Thanks!

Hello sirs, about 3days na may squeaking sound sa rear door ng apv ga ko. 15 months pa lang tapos meron ng ganito. Ask ko lang kung anung remedyo ang gagawin ko para totally mawala. Salamat.

apv club members and owner never experienced any squeaking sound(those who bought it brand new and 2nd hand) mostly pag 2nd hand the problem is on the engine and tranny- not well maintained by the previous owner.

i understand your dilemma, if your vehicle is still brand new, have it checked, suzuki service and warranty claims is a smooth a silk(i guess this depends on the casa) try to claim the warranty.

if it's not brand new, and if the pms is not religiously followed... warranty would be void.

Brand new pagkabili ko sir, nag back thread ako page 174 may nakita akong nag post regarding sa squeaking sound, walang klarong sagot actually di naman siya nagtanong. Sinabi lang nyang downside ng apv is squeaking sound sa rear door. Baka kasi may naka experience ng dinadanas ng apv ko ngayon. Salamat.

Ganito rin nangyari sa akin 2 days after nauwi ko unit ko (GA) nag-SQUEAK yung right front door. Nawala nung nilagyan ko ng WD40 ang hinges pero bumalik din kinabukasan, dinala ko sa casa in-adjust nila hinges saka nawala tunog.

Ertiga na lang mas maganda. Daming masaya sa unit nila

Mga batikan na sa APV kelangan ko po ng tulong niyo. Nagpaplano po kasi kaming bumili ng sasakyan (fiirst car namen) at namataan namin tong APV. mas mura kasi siya kumpara sa Avanza ng kalaban at mas malakas pa ang makina. Eh nasa 600k lang po ang budget namin kaya hindi po kaya yung top of the line na APV II ba yun. Ayun po. Ito po yung tanong ko:

Ano po ba ang maganda sa APV kumpara sa Avanza at malakas po ba ito sa gasolina? Ano po fuel consumption?
- subjective ang ganda. I choose APV over Avanza primarily because of space. 1.6 cc vs 1.5cc, the higher displacement gets higer FC. 9-11 k/L mixed city mostly hiway ang nakukuha ko sa APV A/T

Hindi ko maintindihan din yung sa sinasabi nung mas mahal na version ng APV GA na dual aircon. Medyo malaki kasi difference niya compared dun sa tig 575k na GA. Ano po ba ibig sabihin nun?
- dual aircon means additional parts like evap,condenser,fans/ blower around 30-40k din difference kung magpapakabit sa labas

Hindi po ba mabilis magkadiperensya?
-depende sa gamit, pero matibay naman nippon denso parts din ang gamit ng suzuki tulad ng toyota

Madali ba makahanap ng parts kung sakali pong ipapagawa sa labas after ng warranty?
- madami na parts and stores and aftermarket/ replacement, take note may APV dropside and closed van versions which means commercial use kaya dumadami na ang parts supply-chain.

Okay naman po ba sa akyatan? ex. aakyat ng baguio tapos puno with bagahe.
- depende sa driver. naiakyat ko na sa baguio, sta fe, talisay batangas, quezon national park, bicol national park, at sa spiral road ng building parking.

Panget po ba yung APV GA kumpara sa APV II? Yun lang po kasi ang kaya eh. Paki state na din po ng differences nung dalawa.
- rear suspension lang nagkaiba the rest are toys. APV II using coils, older uses leaves.

Salamat po sa sasagot. Makakatulong po ito sa pagdidisisyon namin. Sa ngayon kasi medyo 40-40 po ang laban ng Avanza at APV sa aming mga isip. Yung 20 mag-commute na lang daw. hehe.
- you are welcome. Depende sa gamit, kung malapit lang ang pupuntahan nilalakad, bike, o commute ko lang, wala pa problema sa parking.

M/T nga po pala ang balak namin kasi mas matakaw daw ang A/T. Totoo po ba yun? Pakikorek na lang po kung mali. )
- depends. True for city drive, almost same or just a little difference MT being better FC on highway drives

Ertiga is an MPV while APV is a small 5-door Van, IMO not the same size and category to compare. Your decision should depend on the purpose. I was in the market for small car or MPV recently, purpose of which is for for transporting little kids to school, could be used for emergency long drives, and fuel efficient (above isuzu sportivo level) as possible. I ended up with a small AUV, a diesel Chevy Spin. My advice is.. Do your assignment - identify your requirements, test drive, then make your comparative test maybe by using a chart or ticklist.

Goodluck.

just had my 50k pms(apv 2 at *odo 30k) saw an ertiga in the show room, nice but i would never buy it, for one simple reason... my big fat arse can barely fit in the middle seats, my kness already grazed the front seats... what more if the front passnger or the driver adjusted their seat backward?

dont get me wrong it's a nice vehicle but i could not jus fit on it properly.

Greeting's Fellow APV Owners Happy New Year 2015....anyway wanted to ask? I own a APV GA the one that doesn't have a second rear aircon at the back...so i went to Philair 2 years a ago to let them install my rear aircon secondary....its been 2 years a half....the problem was sometimes it doesnt cool that much anymore so i went to aircon shop to let them check it they told me that theres is not enough Freon so i let them put Freon on the aircon after 2 months same thing occur...it doesnt cool up like before when your almost freezing....the trick i notice is that i have to turn off the aircon for 5minuted then turn it on again then like magic it will cool up again....did you guys experience same problem with me? so i went back to aircon shop to tell them that sometimes it doesnt cool that much....they told me that i need to add addtional evapoartor? im not sure if its condensor or evaporator they are going to add? help me guys they are askig around 8,000.00 pesos for the addtional parts plus cleaning of the aircon....is the aircon shop right? thanks guys....

Pero I guess manual APV can do better compare sa matic, medyo mahina talaga sa subic lang pag puno tas pag pataas na down shift kagad.

ilan sakay and gaano kadami baggage? tagaytay via sta rossa exit di naman hirap, yung overtaking lang kailangan iplan ng mabuti as against kung ang dala ko ay new suv- power when needed as against apv na mag grugrunt muna for a very long few seconds.

been to subic and used the road going to morong, not the anvaya cove the much steeper alternate road where you will pass to the former vietnamese refugee camp, di naman hirap apv
