What I do now is: sa last 2-3 minutes bago ko patayin ang air-con at makina, lini-lipat ko sa high heat and high blower ang air-con. So far parang di na umulit yung ganun ka baho...

But does anyone know why this happens, and/or has a better solution?

Btw, pumapasok sa aircon yung exhaust fumes ng auto sa harap ko while in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Nasa recirculate naman ang setting ng air-con. I know this shouldn't happen in a brand-new car. Where should I be looking for the leak?

Thanks!

no problems with the airconditioning having a nasty smell in the morning however i did notice the same with the exhaust fumes entering the cabin even in recirc mode. BTW had my 700km PMS. cost 3000 for 4.5 liters of ful syn oil. and just this morning started the jimny as usual then conked out after 1 sec parang naubusan ng gas. tried to restart the car . no go. started it again whirring sound from the engine bay. parang starter umiikot pero wala redondo. after 5 secs nagstart naman. weird. open parking din jimny ko

Hi, new to the forum...have an 05 AT for six months now...The one with manual transfer case... I noticed that my temperature gauge needle gets up to a little over one half of the dial... Is this the normal level...also owm an old toyota fx but needle on gets up to one third of the range... So was a bit concerned...water levels are ok in the reservoir and radiator

sakin a little less than half temp sa 2 month old jimny ko. baka palit coolant ka lang

**bongth** · July 13th, 2012 10:10 PM

when i got it eh green ang coolant.... and the needle was already at that level ever since.... so this week i drained it and used purified water...ganun pa din ang needle.... I've been using purified water in both my cars since 1997 when i opened a water refilling station..... at times ubos na ang water sa reservoir and kulang na ang laman ng radiatior... no overheating for both cars... park for an hour... and you will notice that your temp needle goes down... easy to cool hard to heat up... it takes a while for your temp to reach normal level.... i also use purified water also for my windshield washer.. no clogs... my 05 has racked up only 31000 kms on the odometer.... it probably is close to the normal level... thanks

Possible causes siguro ser, thermostat, waterpump, rad/aux fan, na try nyo na ba on at off aircon. Better po madala nyo na sa trusted mechanic mahirap pag tuluyan na bumigay at mag overheat sayang. Nasa below half po ang normal operating temp ko.

compared my temp readings to a 2011 where the gauge is horizontal while my 05 model is vertical... almost the same... brought the unit to my trusted mechanic and we tested it without aircon and the reading was the same... fans were opeating normally... constant temp in city or hiway driving... will monitor further...

Sir Vegetablejoe, saw your post sa Big Jimny... is the bluetooth adaptor for the obd2 port available here in the philippines?

Kindly PM forumite "AC" here on tsikot. I think he has just brought in OBD2 Scanner units, pero with USB connectors. If I understand it correctly, yung may USB connection ay pang iPod/iPhone.

Kindly also look-up OBD2 sa **************... the seller is from the Las Pinas and offers free testing before purchase, but only on the south side of town. The seller's brother, Juper, will be the one who meets-up for testing. His cfon# is +639153639131.

doc, ito higher resolution para ma-zoom in mo hehe

ang ganda nung set up niya. pati ilalim may armor na. tapos LED na yung light bar niya. masakit lang siguro makita yung pag drill para sa roof carrier niya.
