sir.. ka che check ko lang sa http://www.avanzaclub.ph/ ok naman ahh

Yup, oks rin naman siya dito.

Baka natyempuhan ko lang na may maintenance kanina umaga...

Sa pagkaka-alam ko kasi sa YAHOO naka web-host ang official ACP website, tapos kaninang umaga pag-access ko, nag-piping-pong lang between YAHOO <--> SERVERBEACH (Domains.Ph). Ngayon nasa SERVERBEACH (Domains.Ph) na sya naka-webhost.

Just for my 2 cents worth...

Mga sirs, dapat po ba i-start everyday ang avanza? Sabi sa casa, every other day puwede.

Once a week ko lang po kasi magamit ang sasakyan.

tia.

To those going up to Baguio, the city is under heavy fog at this moment. Like on cloud nine.

I think thicker fog at avanza 84's place. He's at higher location I think (P. Burgos area). Cool! Hehehe.

last year nung march. more than a week di nagamit si Vanzki namin kasi umalis kami. pagdating ko, isang click lang start naman. depende siguro sa age ng battery yan. ok lang kahit once a week painitin para gumalaw mga parts. hth

CASE OF MY BNEW AVANZA

mga tol tulong naman. I just got my bnew Avanza 1.5G MT last week and within hours from the showroom nagkaproblema agad:

As you can see nabali ung metal rod na pangtukod sa engine hood. My mom at uncle ko ang naglabas s casa, and after an hour or so, ng magpapa-gas n sila, napansin sila na naka-uwang ung left side ng engine hood. This left us wondering how did it happen. Paano nabaluktot at nabali ung metal rod samantalang isira lng nmn ng tiyuhin ko from the showroom ung engine cover during the final check prior to the unit's release.

Medyo nakakainit ng ulo to find out about this. Kasalukuyan pa akong nasa Dubai and will be home this April.

Sana mabigyan nyo ng thoughts paano nangyari to.

As of now, the unit is being fixed by toyota balintawak. They promised to replace the hood na na-deformed na dhil s sobrang pagkaka-sara ng mag nakapasak na metal rod. Ito lng ung anggulong tinitingnan namin.

Pero tiyuhin ko lng ang nagsara s showroom. And he assured na inalis nya ung metal rod before closing the hood.

Which left me thinking kung nagsasabi sya ng totoo.
Pero kung hindi namn, makakaya nya bang isa ung hood without noticing na may metal rod na naka-kalso dun? Sobrang lakas nmn nya ata.

And if ever naisara nya nga, for sure gagawa un ng ingay of a breaking metal which will get the attention of everyone in the showroom.

Moreover, I tried closing the engine hood of my Suzuki SX4 here in Dubai to re-enact the situation but napakahirap.

Guys, give some of your thoughts naman.
Medyo nakakabaliw 'tong sitwasyon ko which even at Toyota, hindi na-explain ung fault according to my mom.

Many thanks.

[_Qwerty_]

hmmm.. malamang naisara nga yan nang hindi ayus yung metal rod.. pero kung sa casa nangyari yun.. eh di dapat nakita nung mga tao don bago lumabas.. malamang yan binuksan sa gasoline station.. tapos sinara nang hindi ayus.. tsk tsk tsk

Hi Sir, afaik detachable sya. Sports rail pa lang kc napapalagay ko wala pang budget para sa rack eh. Sabi nila ii-slide lang daw yung rack dun eh.

For more info call Shark - 372-3640 look for Chery.

Another Toyota Alabang horror story

Hmmm... madalas bang may issue mga ni-re-release na sasakyan ng TA? During sa showroom, marami ring na-recognize Mom ko about vehicles being returned to their custody. Iba ba ang stock ng mga vehicles ng TA? As long as it is Toyota, di ba dapat uniform ang quality and must not depend on distributors?

...malamang yan binuksan sa gasoline station.. tapos sinara nang hindi ayus.. tsk tsk tsk...

As far as what is told me, they noticed na hindi pantay ung hood while on the gas station. And also please take note, hindi kya imposible to force na isara ung hood without noticing the metal rod in place?

As is my case, it may take a considerable amount of force to bend and break the rod.

Also, consider where in the hood would most likely the force be exerted. Based on what is told me, sinara nya raw from the front. In this case, di kya mas greater ung force na i-e-exert nya compared when closing the hood from where the metal rod sticks up?

Look at the damage from the inside:



Forgive if this issue is just a simple case of stupidity which I consider it.
But please do indulge and give in your thoughts.

The last thing I can blame is the mass of wind pushing downward concentrating on the left area while driving at 40-60kph from Alabang to Munoz.

Good thing though, Toyota agreed to fix it after declining that the problem is not covered by warranty. At 4pm Manila time, the unit will be released from TBalintawak. they have agreed to replace the entire hood panel with a new one since it is already deformed and will be far from repair.

I'll post the new pics of the repaired model once I have them.

Nah, walang significant na pwersa ang ganyang hangin... besides, the way the rod was bent (from your pics) suggests that the rod was still in place when the hood was closed. Baka dating Mr. Philippines iyung uncle mo?
Di ba merong mga sasakyan na spring-loaded ang hoods? Baka akala nung nagsara, spring-loaded lang, iyun bang mabigat pag unang hila, tapos gumagaan na pag nag-retract na iyung spring/jack...

Mas malakas talaga ang pwersa kung sa harap hahawakan iyung hood pag-isasara. TORQUE is the key. Di ba pag masyadong mahigpit ang lugnuts ng gulong, ginagamitan ng tubo, pang-extend sa cross-wrench? That's for added TORQUE. Besides, no one (well, close to no one, I guess) closes the hood by pushing it on the sides, because the lock is in front. Pwede pang sabihing pinigilan nila sa sides, tapos from a significant height, binitawan para mag-lock pagbagsak niya.
