    hi sir. did you change oil viscosity? try 5w30.

    regarding tune up.. i believe kasama yan sir every change oil sa casa..

    I'm going to have my APV tuned up by one of philhino's chief mechanic on the 27th. hopefully gaganda FC ko, more silent engine, and maybe a faster/better response.

    will give feedback here.. maybe pictures as well.

    hi mga sir.. after my tappets adjusted.. it was comparatively more silent than before. the tap-tap-tap noise was still there but minimal, even gone when we returned the seats back to its closed position.

    before, you can really hear it tapping when in idle (hot engine).

    Im currently checking my fuel consumption and expected results within the week when I reach my 100 to 200 kms reading.

    response is good, but not significantly because i haven't driven hard today since im saving fuel to check on my current gas consumption with my typical daily driving style.

    will keep you posted as soon as possible.

    Hi po!

    I got my Suzuki APV GLX last April 17, 2012 (Current Reading 2,100KM). Here are some feedback for what it's worth with forum readers.

    THE GOOD SO FAR:
    1. Malakas talaga humatak from Gear 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5. No Issue.
    2. Mabilis talaga tumakbo. Nahataw ko na hangan 140 KPH. No Issue.

    THE BAD SO FAR:
    1. Yesterday, I had my unit installed with O-Sulee Spring Cushion (O-sulee Spring Cushion - The World's only modular Spring Cushion | SpringCushion.com.ph) to improve suspension. In the process, I discovered the following:
    1.1 Sira na agad ang Rear LH Shocks ko (May Tagas na). Hindi ko alam kung bushing lang or the whole assembly na.
    1.2 Sa underchasis in the area the muffler. Natutunaw ang undercoat. Mahinang Klase yung Undercoat na ginamit.
    1.3 Undercoat about 25% na lang ang natitira. Yung ibang parte labas na ang metal. Kaya ASAP na ako sa pagpatong ng matibay tibay na undercoat.
    1.4 Ang nipis ng pintura ng APV. Kaunting tama lang nagagalos na agad pintura. I had a very minor accident sa bumper (tinmaan ng dog cage ng pet ko). Lumabas na agad yung metal. when I checked kung gano ka kapal yung paint... sobrang nipipps compared sa other vehicles that I had.

    MY VERDICT SO FAR.
    For the price of the unit PHP 745,000.00... Ok na ako. Pansin ko lang. Yung quality ng most materials na ginamit for both interior at exterior hindi mga Class "A".

    yes boss very true...

    2. Mabilis talaga tumakbo. Nahataw ko na hangan 140 KPH. No Issue.
    yes again boss, very true..

    THE BAD SO FAR:

    sad to hear that boss, i'm sure may explanation dyan ang casa kinunan mo ng APV, cover naman yun ng warranty nila for sure..

    1.2 Sa underchasis in the area the muffler. Natutunaw ang undercoat. Mahinang Klase yung Undercoat na ginamit.
    i got mine w/o undercoat, actually mas gusto ko talaga ang walang undercoat, yung sa akin body color lang din, alaga ko naman sa linis ang ilalim ng APV ko so no worries sa rust..

    1.4 Ang nipis ng pintura ng APV. Kaunting tama lang nagagalos na agad pintura. I had a very minor accident sa bumper (tinmaan ng dog cage ng pet ko). Lumabas na agad yung metal. when I checked kung gano ka kapal yung paint... sobrang nipipps compared sa other vehicles that I had.
    medyo di ko nakuha ibig nyo sabihin dito boss, sorry to say.. sabi mo boss sa bumper? tapos lumabas agad ang metal? alam ko ang bumper ng APV ay made of plastic or fiber glass, and definitely not metal.. regarding naman dun sa paint, alam ko standard naman lahat ng paint ng mga auto ngayon.. actually may device naman panukat ng paint kung gaano sya kakapal..

    MY VERDICT SO FAR.

    that's good boss!
