Suzuki JIMNY [merged threads]

[vegetablejoe]

sir vjoe ano fuel gamit nyo? ako caltex gold/xcs. 7-8 kms/l matic. baba ng fc nyo although manual pala jimny mo

I alternate between Petron and Total unleaded. Mukhang walang diff. in FC between tire inflation at 23 psi front and 26 psi rear VS. at 26 psi front and 28 psi rear....

Will next try loading up with 95 octane gas variants

[vegetablejoe]

^magaan ba paa mo sir?

Yup, dati pa magaang paa ko... Am hoping nga to find a good vacuum gauge (like Veglia Borletti) so I can find out how most economically to drive and shift sa Jimny.

These days, when I start getting the urge ibaon ang pedal sa traffic and stoplights, I try to concentrate na lang on listening to music that I love and try to play. Pinapakinggan ko maigi yung mga licks and solos, para mawala yung gigil ko makipag-gitgitan. Nagiging parang auto-pilot nalang yung pagmamaneho!

ahh kaya naman pala...hehe...problema kasi sakin pag nilakasan ko pa yung music lalo akong ginaganahan umapak hahaha!

lalo siguro pag nagka jimny ako...tapos lalagyan ko pa ng 31" tires after lifting...hehe most probably 7 to 8 din ang consumption ko

[vegetablejoe]

I finally found and bought the Veglia Borletti Vacuum Gauge I've been wanting... but now I can't decide whether I want to install it and chance on voiding the casa's (engine) warranty.

Saw this on the road today:

Good evening mga boss... Ask ko lang po regarding a newly purchased 2003 Jimny Manual Tranny SE, kapag arangkada ko sa 1st gear at 2nd gear may ugong ako nadidinig lalu pag nasa peak na(above 2k rpm about to shift) ng 1st at second gear, yung ugong parang tunog pag reverse/umaatras ng mejo mabilis, di naman sobra lakas pero dinig talaga, sigurado ko di sya sa engine kasi pag di naka engage ang gear or neutral kahit apakan ko gas hanggang high rpm wala yung ugong.
Normal po ba ito? Kung di po, ano po ang possible sira at san po recommended natin mechanic for this?
Sariwa naman po sya, labas loob, pati engine pinong pino pa. Napansin ko lang talaga yung tunog na yun sa arangkada.
Thanks in advance.

Tsaka san po ba recommended shop/mechanic ng jimny natin balak ko sana pa change fluids bukas, engine oil-differential oil-tranny oil- ano pa po ba?
Ask ko na din ano oil for tranny/differential and ilan liters. Thanks.

San po pala kayo nabili ng parts, bnew and surplus...

TA-BP5 20R vacuum METER

I won't be able to see this video til I get home to my pc tonight, pero saan po kayo nagpakabit ng vacuum gauge? Maghahanap pa pala ako ng bracket or casing na babagay sa vehicle...

[jaymd]

nakita ko lang sa youtube yan video not actually my car. balak ko din pakabit yun 3 gauge na vacuum/oil temp or press/ volt meter. kabit sa pillar kung pwede or patong sa gitna ng dash

on another topic...

Sometimes after I start up and turn on the air-con, amoy mabahong trapo yung buga ng air-con (parang yung ginagamit pang pahid sa mga lamesa sa ChowKing ) for the first few minutes. Am not sure if this first happened after it rained hard overnight (walang bubong yung garage ko).

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

[jaymd]

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

[bongth]

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.
