[olidotcom]

maraming salamat sa advises boss oli. bata papala apv mo 3yrs old, mine is 6yrs, 75kms na takbo. my dad told me upon reaching 80kms pa-change nako timing belt so malaki laking gastusan by next year. by the way, thanks sa info about "rapide" once lang ako nag-try dun, di nako bumalik (mahal eh, masmura pa sa casa labor lang mahal). maraming salamat ulit.

no problem sir, hope we can share experiences here moving forward since... (hope not to offend).. more 'experienced' na APV mo compared to mine.. post lang sir mga issues and discoveries.. para sa mga ibang APV users din dito.

Hi Sir Grit,

here are your calculations regarding your choosen package:

based on a 48,000php downpayment.. and I'm assuming that the GA model is around 570,000php cash price.. (i think ganun pa din ata)

for a 3 year payment plan - you will be paying a total of 803,100php which is over 233,100php extra
for a 4 year payment plan - you will be paying a total of 842,784php which is over 272,784php extra
for a 5 year payment plan - you will be paying a total of 893,400php which is over 323,400php extra

if you can increase the downpayment (payout).. im sure that your monthly payments can be reduced.

[olidotcom]

btw, for reference din po..

my downpayment was 180,000php 5 year payment scheme of 10,050

so that will be a 783,000 total payment for 5 years... extra payment only of 213,000 over the cash price of 570,000

but i dont have those 'extra' sensors, tv-dvd, 2 headrest monitors, etc.. just a simple GA model.. but im thinking you got a good price there..

but again.. im pushing to have a higher downpayment.. for a lower monthly rate.. lets pull down the 'extra' cash that you will be shelling out for them. :D

maayo buntag! ask ko lang update sa break in mo and if nag improve ba fuel consumption. by the way is your apv a GA or type II? salamat

Maayong buntag pod bai Sam! Our APV is now 8500 kms, the FC is around 7-8 km/l (non-syn) but, when we bought it new it was 5-6 kms/L. Among i-change og syn inig 20kms. kani, mo-improve ang FC. BTW our APV was type-II and GLX.

[MoonbeamTURBO]

Question lang guys. Due for change oil na ako kaso walang available na 10W-30 or 5W-30 which is recommended by Suzuki. Okay lang ba kung gumamit ako ng 10W-40 or 5W-40 na Shell Helix Fully-Synthetic? Dito sa office namin aayusin yung APV ko. Thanks!

[olidotcom]

hi sir, a 10w40 or 5w40 will do just fine.. possible lang that you will have slightly higher Fuel Consumption due to the oils viscosity. Im using RP 5w30...

Thanks sir! How much is the RP 5W-30? I might try using that.

[olidotcom]

Thanks sir! How much is the RP 5W-30? I might try using that.

you may search or PM sir SpeedyFix here in tsikot.. he's my suking shop ever since.. but you can buy the oil from him. not sure with the price though.. i believe (if im not mistaken its around 2800 for 4 quarts, including vic oil filter and labor...)

Good Day po mga masters, I hope its ok to join this thread. This is my first post here * tsikot.com. I'm glad na nakito ko tong forum site na ito dahil lang sa query na hinahanap ko kay Dr. Google.

I bought a Repo APV 2007 model from a bank last Sept. 41k na yung natakbo nya. I think its a very good buy kasi kasya kaming buong pamilya pati na yung stroller ng pamangkin ko. The only complains I have ay yung malakas mag consume ng gas at matagtag yung likod.

maraming salamat sa advises boss oli. bata papala apv mo 3yrs old, mine is 6yrs, 75kms na takbo. my dad told me upon reaching 80kms pa-change nako timing belt so malaki laking gastusan by next year. by the way, thanks sa info about "rapide" once lang ako nag-try dun, di nako bumalik (mahal eh, masmura pa sa casa labor lang mahal). maraming salamat ulit.

Sir confirm ko lang, upon reaching 80,000Kms ba dapat magpalit ng timing belt or napapalitan ng ng dad mo yung timing belt before upon reaching a certain Km reading?

Maraming salamat po.

hi sir.. welcome to tsikot.. best is consult your APV maintenance manual.. di ko rin kasi memorize yung correct kilometer reading on changing timing belts.

best also is to have it checked sa CASA or your suking carshop/mekaniko.

Newbee po dito sa tsikot.com

Current ride ko po is Isuzu 2003 Crosswinds XUV. Very very very satisfied po ako sa durability / performance / FC.

Balak ko na po palitan yung ride ko kasi 1 year na lang hindi na po tatangapin ng Insurance Company. Important po sa akin ang Insurance sa sasakyan.

Kahit masaya po ako sa current make ng ride ko, ayaw ko po kumuha ng 2012 Isuzu Crosswinds Sportivo bilang kaplait. Harang na harang po kasi ang price nila sa 2012 Isuzu Crosswinds Sportivo. Over Over Over Overpriced !!!

Ang mga option ko po ay:

1. 2012 Toyota Innova 2.5G MT
2. 2011 Hyundai Tucson Theta II Engine MT
3. APV Type 2 MT or AT

Tanong lang po.

1. Sa mga nababasa ko po sa different forums parang madali masira ang APV. Like Radiator Fan / Auxiliary Fan / Dashboard Clock etc.
Sa mga may ari po dito ng APV Type 1 at Type 2 puwede po ba sabihin ninyo kung ano ano na ang nasira sa sasakyan ninyo at kung gaano kabilis ito nasira mula sa time na binili ninyo (Example: Replaced Radiator Fan - 4 Months from purchase).

2. Sa mga nabasa ko din po. Mukang pahirapan ang parts. Baka pwede po ninyo i share yung waiting time ninyo sa parts na kinailangan palitan (Example: Radiator Fan - 3 Months Waiting Time Casa - No Parts Outside Casa).

3. Meron ako napagtanungan sa parking lot last week nung nag park ako. APV Type 1 dala niya. Ang tanong ko ... Boss ano reklamo mo sa APV kung meron. Unang sagot niya sa akin "malakas kumain ng gas". Talaga ba na malakas sa gas ang APV?

4. Sino po dito sa inyo ang masasabing "pinag sisisihan ninyo ang pag bili ninyo ng APV? Yung tipong .. sana ang binili ko ay ibang sasakyan na lang.

5. Sa inyong personal na opinion. Worth it ba ipagpalit ko ang luma ko na 2003 Isuzu Crosswinds sa Suzuki APV 2. Masasabi ba ito na downgrade sa status ng ride?

Sana po meron mag share. Salamat po sa inyo in advance.

[olidotcom]

Hi aimphilippines.. welcome to tsikot as well. here are my answers to your questions below.

1. Sa mga nababasa ko po sa different forums parang madali masira ang APV. Like Radiator Fan / Auxiliary Fan / Dashboard Clock etc.
Sa mga may ari po dito ng APV Type 1 at Type 2 puwede po ba sabihin ninyo kung ano ano na ang nasira sa sasakyan ninyo at kung gaano kabilis ito nasira mula sa time na binili ninyo (Example: Replaced Radiator Fan - 4 Months from purchase).

I have a 2009 Type 1 APV - nothing broken as of yet. daily drive currently reaching its 50,000 kilometer reading.. regarding the aux fan - I have heard number of issues that either the fan is noisy, or others not working.. but still a small percentage, also, its normal for it to loose its power.. (wear and tear - ika nga..) but mine is still working with no issues.. Dashboard clock? actually the issue with that one is its powered by a separate button battery and it can be easily removed..


2. Sa mga nabasa ko din po. Mukang pahirapan ang parts. Baka pwede po ninyo i share yung waiting time ninyo sa parts na kinailangan palitan (Example: Radiator Fan - 3 Months Waiting Time Casa - No Parts Outside Casa).

After my 1st PMS sa CASA.. i already stopped going there for its PMS schedule.. changed to my suking talyer for my every 10k change oil.. as far as I know.. if the part is not available, they can have it shipped or produced within 2 weeks to 3 months.. depending on the part. (this involves all suzuki models).. but anything in particular with the APV.. none yet. But since the APV has an old G16A engine.. parts are readily available outside CASA with much cheaper price.

3. Meron ako napagtanungan sa parking lot last week nung nag park ako. APV Type 1 dala niya. Ang tanong ko ... Boss ano reklamo mo sa APV kung meron. Unang sagot niya sa akin "malakas kumain ng gas". Talaga ba na malakas sa gas ang APV?

If you have a brand new APV.. then the answer is yes... after your 2nd to 3rd change oil.. the engine should be broken in by that time and seals and gaps should be more easy for the engine to move.. when I got the APV i was running 6 to 8 kilometers/liter.. but now im playing around 10 to 11 on mixed city and highway driving.. average of the APV members play around 9 to 10 kms/li on city driving.. except AT transmissions.. around 7 to 9 kms/li

4. Sino po dito sa inyo ang masasabing "pinag sisisihan ninyo ang pag bili ninyo ng APV? Yung tipong .. sana ang binili ko ay ibang sasakyan na lang.

didnt cross my mind. but i would sure like a electric/hybrid car for a daily drive home-work-home etc... just being more specific...

5. Sa inyong personal na opinion. Worth it ba ipagpalit ko ang luma ko na 2003 Isuzu Crosswinds sa Suzuki APV 2. Masasabi ba ito na downgrade sa status ng ride?

even im a APV owner.. i can "personally" say that it depends on what you need. if you need space up to the third row? then I'll go with the APV.. I have big friends that always ride with me on long trips and they are very comfy in the last row seats.. which is one of the purpose of having a midsized- to large vehicle..

durability? i believe that all isuzu parts are very durable.. as compared from an APV.. but durability as well comes with a price din naman.. but definitely very durable piece of machinery.

[olidotcom]

... one more.. strangely that your insurance company is not accepting your isuzu for insurance renewal.. if thats the only reason that you're going to have a new vehicle and as you stated that you are very happy and satisfied with it..

if I were in your shoes.. ill look for another insurance company.

I don't believe your insurance company wont accept to renew your ride.. unless they have a valid reason behind it.

[Blackspeed]

hi sir, a 10w40 or 5w40 will do just fine.. possible lang that you will have slightly higher Fuel Consumption due to the oils viscosity. Im using RP 5w30...

Newbie here, sir may effect pala pag hindi specific ang oil na ginamit?

Marami na ako napagtanungan na reputable insurance company for FULL COVERAGE. Sabi sa akin maximum age ng car tinatangan nila hangan 10 years old lang.

Yung anak ko kasi mag simula na mag drive at once in awhile gagamitin niya yung current sasakyan ko. Baka kasi mabanga siya o maka banga siya laking sakit ng ulo at gastos yun kung ako sasalo both vehicle na na involved sa accident. So kesa gastusin ko sa pag pagawa ng vehicle gamitin ko na lang ang pero ko sa pag bili ng sasakyan at may full coverage ng insurance.

The last time nag claim ako sa insurance was about PhP 200,000.00 so kung maulit ulit yun naku po sayang PhP 200,000 ko,

Kung ibenta ko or trade in yung Crosswinds ko mg PhP 350,000.00 pa cost plus may cach ako na PhP PhP 100,000.00 so meron ako PhP 450,000.00 na pang down. Kung APV ipalit ko kaya ko mag down payment ng almost 60% so liit na lang yung hulog ko.
