Ang ganda! banat na banat! yan ba yung light grey? nag inquire ako kahapon sa seatmate mandaluyong...8.5Kdaw pang innova..

[pong_li]

mukhang ok yung sa seatmate ah within my budget pa. may nag suggest din po luxe car seat korean leather daw,much better than german leather na made in china. and leatherplus italian leather naman daw.baka po may mga nakapagpakabit na dito.

btw sino po may equinox na dvd with gps dito? planning to buy one naka sale kasi. ang concern ko po is yung sa gps nya metro manila lang daw.built in daw gps.compatible po ba kaya dito yung SD card na may Gps updates na like lets say, garmin.? nasa province kasi ako eh so hindi rin mapapakinabangan yung built in gps nya pag MetroManila lang.tnx...

paano ba linisin ang rear evaporator coil?
nilagyan ko na kasi ng plastic ang buong carpet except the front side, para isang tanggalan na lang.
na access pala ng kamay pag kinapa sa malapit sa exhasut yung rubber flaps na sinasabi mo manipis lang pala ito parang rubber interior lang tyre.
any suggestion mga fellow tsikoteers? TIA

After a 3 day delay due to production plant malfunctions, finally brought home my Innova 2012 G AT, aptly named "GInno" by my wife :-) everything checked out ok :-) definitely a pleasure to drive :-) thanks for the tips guys :-)

Now I'm planning on getting leather seats :-) kahit synthetic lng para mas mura (daw)... saan po b recommended ninyo? seatmate, leder..., MG? asa Proj8 area po kasi ako, me mejo malapit po kayo mairecommend?

Ano po maganda pang secure sa spare tire para hindi manakaw?

Ano gas station po maganda diesel? Namimilit knina gasoline boy s Shell lagyan nun bago diesel nila (V2 daw po). Kailangan po ba natin ito? Sabi kasi nun gas boy ginawa daw un talaga para s bagong mga diesel. Regular diesel lng muna ipina karga namin.

Ano po pala GPS maayos ilagay? Meron po ba un me tracker n din?

Kailangan p po b natin mag warm up? un 2006 crosswind ko po kasi dati, hindi ako nagwawarm up pero before long naging white n smoke s exhaust. Masama dw un s makina. E akala ko po kasi pag relatively new model hindi n kailangan warm up. Ang innova diesel po b gaano katagal dapat warm up if ever kailangan?

Paensya n po kung me umulit s tanong ko. I've been trying to back read the forum pero napaka haba :-( please point me in the right direction :-) thanks so much po :-)

try the suggestions ng ka-innova naten:
interior protectant:
1. 3M fabric/carpet protectant para di masyado madumihan kung magbago isip mo na di lagyan ng seatcover or leather seats.
2. 3M anti-slip para sa interior paint next to scuff plate madaling magasgasan yan.
optional lagyan mo ng plastic cover yung carpet kung lagi ka magsasakay sa 3rd row, pag pasok ng passenger sa 3rd row madaling matapakan ang carpet at hindi sa mattings. (beige pa din ba interior ng G 2012?)
exterior side:
mag pa detail na paint protection, sabi ni ma'am liv maganda daw ito.
finally kong dark color ang innova mo, punta ka sa detailing thread para magka-idea ka sa proper car washing and paint maintenance.

yung spare tire lock mga master na lang dito sumagot kasi wala ako hehehe, para may nagsabi sa ka-innova naten iba pa din yung spare tire lock sa casa para mas maganda mahal nga lang.

happy driving and be safe...

Sa Seatmate ko pinagawa leatherette seat cover ng '07 Innova namin... Exact fit siya at hindi nalulukot.... Doon ko pa rin ipagagawa ung sa 2012 Innova namin.

8K as per inquiry ko 2 weeks ago.

Sa seatmate ortigas ako 3weeks ago. Im happy with it. 8k. 2012 innova g ako. Wish ko lng is yung sa 2nd row arm rest lagyan nila ng velcrow sa bottom in addition to the zipper

Seatcovers ko from Lederland in West Avenue. Magfive years na and just like Mile2's, in excellent condition. German made synthetic leather ang ginamit ni Jerry.

Ano po maganda pang secure sa spare tire para hindi manakaw?
In my opinion, original spare tire lock. Alam ko may mabibil kang original sa labas. Mas mura kaysa sa kasa.

Ano gas station po maganda diesel? Namimilit knina gasoline boy s Shell lagyan nun bago diesel nila (V2 daw po). Kailangan po ba natin ito? Sabi kasi nun gas boy ginawa daw un talaga para s bagong mga diesel. Regular diesel lng muna ipina karga namin.

Gamit ko petron or shell, yung ordinary lang okay na. Last 2 full tanks ko ay gumagamit ako ng petron turbodiesel pero wala naman akong maramdamang difference so balik ako sa ordinary. As much as you can, stick ka sa isang station kung regular route mo.

Ano po pala GPS maayos ilagay? Meron po ba un me tracker n din?

Kailangan p po b natin mag warm up? un 2006 crosswind ko po kasi dati, hindi ako nagwawarm up pero before long naging white n smoke s exhaust. Masama dw un s makina.

Mga 2 minutes lang after starting puede na lumarga pero hinay hinay pa rin sa arangkada. Kung di ka nanghihinayang sa krudo, pagalawin mo muna yung temp gauge needle pero medyo matagl ito pag idle ka lang.

Paensya n po kung me umulit s tanong ko. I've been trying to back read the forum pero napaka haba :-( please point me in the right direction :-) thanks so much po :-)

Refer to my comments above. You can raise any concerns and innova owners here will be glad to provide their indiviual comments/suggestions.

How to clean Innova rear evaporator coil - DIY


Yung flaps puede mo seal using duct tape sa labas para always close and external fumes and minute dirts will not enter your cabin rear aircon blower.

[Mile2]

Yah thanks Tim007, Jerry nga pala name ng owner ng Lederland who is also an Innova fanatic.

Speaking of spare tire, Jerry of Lederland gave me free Spare Tire Cover, dahil yung spare tire ko is placed inside the cabin.

Sa mga magpapakabit ng Leather/Leatherette seat cover. Check for yourselves which among the recommended auto interior upholstery shops gives the best texture and fit, forget muna yung cost, dahil satisfaction is more important. What made me choose Lederland is for the simple reason yung mga corner ends ng seatcover ay very nicely concealing the underneath original upholstery kaya parang hindi siya seat cover para siyang direcly uphosltered sa seat.

Here's a short list.

1. Boy C in Araneta
2. Lederland - West Ave.
3. Seatmate - Mandaluyong
4. MG Square - daming branch at pinakamura yata.

[MrQ5]

binuksan ko na kahapon malinis pa din parang bago pa, mag 2years na din innova.

siguro nga yung rubber flaps failure to seal properly, pag nag-engage na ang rear blower ang sanhi ng fumes/foul odor.

sa pagbukas ko rear a/c konting dumi alikabok sa blower at konti lang na dumi ng exhaust fumes sa inner side ng plastic moldings.

siguro dapat nililinis din yung rubber flaps every car wash para yung dirt na kumapit sa vents ay hindi maging sanhi ng incomplete sealing nito.

mag-try din ako lagyan ng duct tape. nung 1 year old pa lang innova mahirap isa yung rear door baka maging ganun ulit try ko nga.
ty sa info.

Hi, first time posting here, not sure if this is the correct place .... I have a 2008 Innova E (Gas) which was flooded by Ondoy. Spent around 200k to have everything fixed, except for the gas gauge and I didn't replace the air bag anymore. New suspension, new tires, brake pads...car is running fine. Question for the forum, how much is the car worth if I wanted to sell it? Thanks in advance!

mas mababa na ang value niyan lalo at na ondoy.

sa mga Innova VVTi owners....ano pong fuel ang kinakarga nyo? as per manual UNLEADED fuel only with 91RON or higher.
ang Petron XCS - (95RON), Galtex Gold(95RON) and Shell Super premium(93RON) ba unleaded narin? if unleaded, mas mainam ba gamitin un kesa sa mga fuel with 93RON (Petron Extra Unleaded, Caltex Silver and Shell Super Unleaded)

Currently Petron Extra Unleaded ang gamit ko sa Innova.

Thanks!

Actually pasok lahat yan basta unleaded kahit yung 97octane ng Sea Oil. Nasubukan ko na lahat yan, at wala naman akong makitang malaking pagkakaiba.

Malinis pa yung cooling coil?

If I remember right meron din flaps sa rear left side, sa side ng tool compartment.

I have tried Xtra unleaded and XCS before they were mixed with ethanol 3-4 years ago. Also used Blaze 98 and now currently using Blaze 100. I find Blaze 100 the most responsive. No more slow response from the gas pedal.

gamit ko ngayon caltex gold. dati kasi caltex silver simula nung pagbili. once nagkarga ako ng gold at gumanda ang menor, arangkada at mileage. nagkarga ako ng isa pang full tank para makasigurado na ganun nga. after which bumalik ako sa silver at nagiba ulit yung menor, arangkada at mileage. so nag gold ulit ako ng 2 straight full tanks. tapos balik sa silver. tapos balik ulit sa gold and from there, lagi nang gold.

sabi din ni misis na mas tumahimik makina at mas maganda umarangkada. kahit mas mahal gold, pag kinompute yung sa fuel cost e mas lumalamang pa din yung gold kahit mas mura yung silver.

it may be effective for me but not effective for others so i cannot say gold is better than silver. pero since positive ang effect sa innova namin, ill just stick with caltex gold or its equivalent with other gas stations.

just bought an innova 2012 G which includes sideskirts. Problem is we want to install stepboards kaso pag tinanggal ung sideskirts, may 6 holes yata for the clips. Pag kinabit naman ung stepboard below the sideskirts - masyado mababa ung clearance sa ilalim. Do you know any workaround to solve this? Thanks

if you remove the skirts, cover the holes with the plastic clips. ito nilalagay pag walang skirt. try to peek into innova's w/o skirts or step boards to give you an idea.

the holes are just below the doors pag tinnanggal ung sideskirts, hindi dun sa pinakailalim kaya kitang kita sa side

hmmm... tricky, can't think of anything else to cover those besides weld, masilya, paint
