Suzuki Esteem Wagon [Merged]

Hi Macky!
Now you know that i`m just a foreinger not a foreigner.

Sorry, ano ba ang EB`s and what is CSP?

Ngayon may bago nanaman akong mga tanong for you and everybody else.

1) Lets say i started my esteem early in the morning (so obviously malamig pa ang engine at off pa ang engine fan), pag i-on ko agad ang A/C ay dapat bang sabay din mag on ang engine fan regardless na malamig pa ang engine ko? At pag i-off ko ang A/C ko (still with a cold engine) ay dapat mamatay din ang engine fan?
Pano sa akin pag i-on ko ang A/C ay hindi nag o-on ang engine fan (not unless mainit na ang engine), so nag ha-high pressure ang A/C system ko (verified with A/C gauges hooked up) coz di kaya nang A/C fan only na ma cool yung condenser, so no cold air!

2) So kung mainit na ang engine ay obviously mag o-on ang engine fan, at pag malamig ay mag o-off ang engine fan. Pero pag pinatay ko na ang engine ko (while its still very hot) ay dapat bang tumuloy pa for a short time yung takbo nang engine fan until the engine gets cooler at dun palang siya mamamatay OR basta na lang mamamatay ang engine fan pag pinatay ko na ang engine (even if hot pa yung engine) ?

Thanks Again!
patrick

What surplus shops can you recommend that have a lot of Suzuki parts? Or maybe a shop that has the most number of Suzuki parts available? I'm looking for a driver's side door, kasi I think the last owner of my car had an accident and the door isn't "straight" and I'm thinking of changing the door na lang.

Try Olympia along Araneta Ave. Look for Jonathan.

Got mine sa casa (Suzuki Alabang). Yung right side covering the compressor costs less than P400 lang including installation.

Can you find interior parts in surplus shops?

Check mo if liquid type ang dampers mo. AFAIK, yung shock refilling is only good for liquid type dampers. Besides Zee, Cruven also recondition shocks. It's good as new for the first 3mos then pa-refill refill ka uli. It's cheap and can suffice if with limited budget ka.

Hello mga Sirs ,

My brother accidentally broke the back glass of my ride, any idea on how much would it cost a back glass for my ride? Nag tanung na ako sa Aguila AutoGlass and ang sabi nila mga 8K daw, parang it is expensive para sa back glass, right? They told me na original daw yun, and i am looking for semi class type of it..

TIA for the Suggestions/Advise.

Hi Guys!
Meroon akong 1998 Automatic transmission GLX. Baka masama na yung driver side Outer Constant Velocity bearing (yung sa may gulong). Ang sabi nang mekaniko ay di daw mahihiwalay and velocity bearing sa axel shaft unless may "special tool" na gagamitin dahil imposible daw matanggal yung circlip (lock) sa dulo nang axel dahil sobrang malalim ito sa velocity bearing. Ano palagay ninyo? Baka naman may ibang paraan dito? o baka naman puede gumawa o magpagawa nang "pinoy style special tool" ? Ano kaya? Pero kung kailangan palitan paano ko kaya tatanggalin ito? Pukpukin ko lang ba nang malaking martilyo???

Second question- Para matanggal ko ang kabilang dulo nang front axel shaft na naka pasok sa transmission, ang pagka intindi ko ay kailangan mo nang malaking screwdriver o pang sikwat para matanggal ito. Ubod nang tigas ba ito tangalin? Mahirap na kasi kung pipilitin ko lang di ba? Thank You!

Hello Everyone!
There is a little fluid leak coming out of the cv joint Axel inserted on the transmission side (right side of car). Maayos naman pagka pasok nang axel sa transmission. Baka yung oil seal sa loob nang transmission? Is it easy to remove this seal? Di ko pa kasi nagagawa ito. How do i remove it? This is our everyday car, so i need to fix it asap. A response will be appreciated, thank you!
