makikigaya lang ako sa MAC sa kabilang thread http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21509
very helpful yung info nila sa current and future adventure owners..

dito naman eh puro revo defects..

let me start for my 2003 Revo GSX 2.0 gas M/T

factory defect
1) aircon busted, leak on upper aircon hose at 15T km odometer/1.5years - toyota replaced the rubber hose and freon free of charge
2) moist on LH foglight after 1 year/10Tkm odometer - casa replaced it for free
3) back door noise/squeaks - for me, NOT a factory defect - kelangan lang regular ang paggamit ng WD40 or grasa dahil natutuyo and kelangan i-adjust ng tama yung hinges..

this is for my Dads 2000 Revo GL 2.4 diesel M/T

factory defects
1) Voltage regulator - (after 1 year) relay type on black metal box, casa replaced it free
2) Water leaking rear windshield/backdoor (after 2months) - casa resealed the rear windshield and replaced the damaged rear siding

Repairs done
1) sanden compressor outer bearing nasira (after 4.5years/75T km) - cost me 2K to replace/repair sa sanden quezon ave .. taga dito
2) nabutas muffler sa lugar ng rear wheels (after 4.5 years) - mga 2meters yata yung pinalitan sa nodalos
3) nag wiggle yung sanden compressor (after 5years/90T km) pero malamig pa din - beyond repair na, suspect ko is masikip yung aircon belt nung inadjust just a few months back lang.. cost us 5.5K for a surplus denso compressor including freon from Mang Mario ..malamig na ulit..
4) nabutas denso radiator ((after 5years/80T km) - overhaul at hinang sa shop ni zeagle .. mga P1.6K din yata gastos
5) nag-stockup yung right front disk (after 5years/90T km) - used a brake cylinder repair kit from casa

pero all orig pa rin ball joints nya and all underchassis parts..

wala na ibang nag-post..

so ako lang pala meron factory sa revo namin hehe

yung sa akin naman (revo diesel), yung vacuum switching valve (VSV) which is responsible for controlling the engine rpm and increasing it kung naka-on yung aircon... yung nangyari sa akin nai-i-stuck yung rpm doon sa high-level kahit na naka-off na yung aircon, happened intermittently for a while and casa had difficulty determining it... good thing lumabas yung problem right before mag-expire yung warranty kaya kahit out-of-warranty na yung ride ko nung ma-determine nila yung sira.. covered-pa rin ng warranty

Hi, I have a 2002 SR Diesel and parang napapansin ko din yung noise sa back door pero intermitent. Pwede paki specify saan banda dapat lagyan ng grasa. Thanks in advance.

i had a 2002 glx gas m/t, used it for almost 50,000 kms with no problems at all.. i got a regular 10-11 km/ltr using the top-off method and casa maintained all the way until i sold it last year.. very reliable & comfortable workhorse indeed..

edit: the only major expense other than regular maintenance were the brand new battery and new set (4pcs) of ducaro trinuum good year tires i installed a few months before i sold it.

Up ko lang ang thread na ito.


Any suggestion on how to improve the fuel economy ng Revo VX200 Automatic or talagang gnoon na talaga ang fuel consumption nya? My average is 5.5-6.5 km per liter city driving.

On the other side naman, malakas tlaga ang hatak ng VX200.Hindi ka mabibitin...mabibitin lang sa gas..tos.

Nakakapanibago kc, gamit ko kc dati diesel engine.

[wakin]

i had the revo dlx for 5 yrs at 72k on the odometer before i sold it.
defects would be:
1. back door noise
2. lakas sa gas
3. mataas ang emmision rating. i usually get 3.5 -3.7.

sir, di pa rin napalitan yung mga wheel bearings nito?

[revoGSX]

sir, di pa rin napalitan yung mga wheel bearings nito?

sir twice na po napalitan front wheel bearings from year 2000, pati break pads din twice na din po...

[BoEinG_747]

sir twice na po napalitan front wheel bearings from year 2000, pati break pads din twice na din po...

every 3 years ba ang palit ng wheel bearings at brake pad? or depende sa mileage

[3sgTe]

i have too.. mine is VX240D 2004. the passenger door often squeaks with rust during every after rainy season... solved with wd40.. ok but still comes up during rainy season.. and also when turning hard curves may tunog ng steering na lumalagutok...???

kung may CV joint iyon ,malamang iyon ang lumalagutok pag naliko ka ng todo

Thanks po sir revoGSX! Tama lang pala yung pagpalit ko recently ng bearings.. magpo-four years na rin kasi yung ride ko

[revoGSX]

yung palit ng bearings usually depende po sa road condition.. sobrang malubak lang talaga yung dinadaan ng 2000 revo diesel ni erpats hehe, pero yung sa 2003 gsx ko orig pa rin front wheel bearing (na-repack lang nun 20 at 40T kms sa toyota)

eto update:
2000 Revo GL Diesel M/T now at 120,000kms:
-pinalitan na ng brandnew na 3-row evercool radiator (mga around 5 to 6K) this march2007
-orig pa rin steering system nya pati alignment kahit ipa-check sa servitek eh good pa rin
-stuck-up yung front right brake.. lagi kasi nilulusong sa baha ng espana hehe, parang brake caliper repair kit ang ginawa

2003 Revo GSX M/T now at 50,000kms - wala pa ako major napagawa.. usual PMS lang sa toyota at spray ng wd40 sa backdoor hehe,
pati nga battery eh yung original na oriental battery pa.. one-click pa rin, add lang ako parati ng distilled water

[Ventoy]

Mine is 2001 SR/MT , So far since still less than 20K kms running without any defects except some enterior accessories tend to be britle especially rear aircon lubber, this could be the effects of console box cleaners

[stroker_200]

I have a 2003 Revo SR 1.8 AT. So far so good...wala pang problema. I've clocked 42,000 kms na and its still feels brand new. Matibay talaga. Malakas lang talaga sa gas.

Pinalitan ko na so far are the following:
1. Battery -> went dead after 2 years. I got a Motolite Truckmaster...so far so good.
2. Aircon louver -> nasira kadudutdot ng mga pasahero. Bale 2 louvers nasira...I got replacement from Toyota Makati...1,020 each....sobra harang
3. fuel filter -> nung 40K pms
4. wiper blades -> on the 3rd year pinalitan...malabo na...I got Toyota replacements...malinaw pa din after a year of use/abuse
5. fluids -> during 40k pms
6. shocks -> changed all four to Rancho. Wala naman problema sa stock eh...maluho lang ako. The ride improved a lot...mas enjoyable gamitin after the upgrade. I still have the stock shocks in my garage...don't know what to do.
7. sparkplugs -> changed to platinum during 10K kms...so far yun pa din gamit ko.

Hindi ko pa pinapalitan:
a) tires -> malapit na...mga 3 more months
b) brakes -> makapal pa eh
c) air cleaner -> puwede pa eh

Mga plano ko palitan:
i. tires -> Ok kaya kung 205/70/15? I'm after the added comfort due to increased rubber height. Mas ok kaya? ano kaya trade offs?
ii. front passenger seat -> gusto ko i-upgrade to bench seat...para mas comfortable. Saan kaya maganda mag-pa-upgrade?
iii. sounds setup -> I want to install amp, sep and sub. I want a small sub that I can put under the front passenger seat. May alam kayo?

Any comment, feedback and advise will be appreciated here.

thanks.

[stroker_200]

correction....upgrade of front passenger seat....I want to put a bucket seat...yun parang sa driver seat....mas comfy kase eh.

Yung nakakabit kasi eh modified bucket seat...actually, parang bench siya na naka molde lang na bucket...basta pangit siya...mababa...at hindi comfy. Nangangawit pasahero ko sa harap eh.

6. shocks -> changed all four to Rancho. Wala naman problema sa stock eh...maluho lang ako. The ride improved a lot...mas enjoyable gamitin after the upgrade. I still have the stock shocks in my garage...don't know what to do.

hello po... pwede po malaman kung anong model ng Rancho shocks ang ipinalit nyo and kung magkano ang bili nyo? and kung may local dealer dito sa pinas...

Thanks in advance...
