Bad trip, the inevitable has finally happened: Nasayad ko yung front bumper ko sa mataas na driveway. I knew it was bound to happen someday given the long front overhang. Buti sa ilalim lang yung scratch mark and it's not much.

You lasted that long without ever scratching your bumper? Impressive.

I can't even last a week without hitting the underside of the bumper on some driveway.

I actually went through even higher curbs (with a load) without scraping my bumper, as against the incline where i scraped mine. It was just one of those brainfart moments where it did not just register in my mind when i approached it so i failed to take my usual precaution of approaching much more slowly and sideways.

haha nice - "brainfart moments" - guilty party here as well.

i'm on my 20k kms already and i was thinking of skipping the 'recommended' aircon cleaning for around Feb next year before the weather heats up again for the summer.

From where I park in Shopwise Araneta, it's just impossible not to scrape the bumper. Going at 1 kph and a little bit sideways just makes the scraping sound more agonizing

I skipped my aircon cleaning and now it's noticeably not as cold as when it was brand new. I'm at 43,500 km though, and at 45K I'll probably bring it for cleaning.

IMO, as long as you don't skip it altogether, it should be fine that you delay it a little bit.

No need really if you ask me. The A/C system getting dirty is also dependent on how you use the car and keep your interior clean.

Do we have a A/C filter?

Yes, says the spec sheet. "Clean Air Filter" daw.

Guys, sa AC filter ng Vios pinapalitan if not ever 5,000 eh 10,000kms ha. Baka sa Altis need rin palitan ng ganun interval.

Mura lang naman replacement, under 1k. Got mine, for the Vios -- wala pa kase -- for 330php only. Pag orig denso, 770php.

Just sharing. Hehe.
