Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

[12vdc]

anyone here knows if the shocks on the APV are gas or fluid? thanks.

From what i remember, its oil-filled at the same time nitrogen-filled. idk what its called, gas-liquid shock maybe.

nasanay ako sa kotse. Ganito ba talaga ang Van medyo mauga? hehe

Has something to do with the wheelbase and narrower track i think. Parang hinihigop kapag may dumaang mabilis na truck. But.. the Jimny rides even more harsh due to the solid axles, pati steering wheel gumagalaw kapag dinaanan ng humahagibis na truck.

if it's nitrogen filled then gas type it is. just want to know sir how sure you are of that information. because i am planning on replacing my shocks with gas type. but if it is already gas type then no need for it. thanks.

Cross-referencing part numbers from OEM manufacturer shows front as oil-type while rear plain hydraulic(i guess what they mean by hydraulic is also oil-type).

RR/RL - 41700-61J10

did a little research myself... seems like the stock shocks are fluid... with the lowered suspension i don't think the fluid shocks will be able to handle it...

You lowered the van? Wonder how bouncy that is.

yes. haven't driven it though since it is being painted. that's why i am planning on changing the suspension to gas type to make it a little stiff to compensate with the lowering springs and reversed leaf springs.

thanks.

actually the springs used for the front are surplus ones. not sure for what model. it is not 100% fit since the springs used is a little bigger (coils) compared to stock. i might add some rubber lifters since the drop is too low. only 1 finger clearance from the wheel well. will post pics once i get the height that i am aiming for.

mga sir tanong ko lang po balak ko po kasi tagalin battery ng apv ko para dagdagan ng tubig pag tinangal ko po ba ung battery ma rereset po ba ung ODO METER?.

[Eman Dela Cruz]

Good day mga sir. San po pwede mag papalit ng Aux Fan Motor? Umuugong na kasi ng malakas. Laguna area po ako. Any suggested auto shop?

[12vdc]

^ Bought mine at Zuk Manila Bay for P8145. AFAIK, only Denso makes it and no replacement part yet.

OE PN# 17120-61J20
Denso PN# 168000-4840

Take note, its not an ordinary aux fan. Its a 2-speed fan acts as Radiator and AC Condenser fan.

Kung hindi naman nag interfere ang wires sa filler plug, pwede naman po dagdagan ng tubig ang battery kahit hindi tanggalin. Incase na tangalin ang battery terminal/s, ang marereset lang ay ang clock and car stereo memory.

Yung odometer po kapag nareset yun, matutuwa ako kasi from 140,000 magiging 0000kms na ulit, parang brand new.. hehe

So true. Mahirap nga sir makahap ng replacement. Kaya sa casa talaga bagsak ko neto. Thanks for the info sir.

^ Correction, price at casa last year was P7785, got mixed up in the invoice with some other parts i bought. You can actually buy them at Banawe (Fronte, Icon) but selling price is around P8k.

[abramos]

tapang mo ah 100kph tapos almost empty na........... hehehehe mag 1/4 pa lang ako takot na ako, by the way di advisable na ma punta parati sa e yung gauge since it might destroy the fuel pump and some sensor i forgot the name of, a gas engine mechanic told me ones but... im not sure though but i try to follow his advise.

Not really, my adventure goes almost on E and always 1/4 or 1/2 for the most of its 13 years. Still running smooth. Religously change of fuel filter no signs of engine failure. Now running at 133,xxx km odo.

Naka purchase na ako at napalitan ko na rin.. Nasa P4,700+ para sa fan motor lang buti walang basag yung elesi at frame chassy. Then pinakabit ko nalang sa suking aircon shop.
