Another question regarding naman spark plugs. Based sa manual every 40k ang palit ng spark plugs. Pero sa casa every 10k ang palit. Baka pag 40k un yung iridium? Right now almost 12k na mileage ko since changing my spark plugs. Ndi na ako sa casa nagpapa pms. How long do i really need to change spark plugs? Thanks and sorry for the noob question.

when we were younger, we would pull out the sparking plugs at least once a year, and if they do not look too worn, clean and gap them, then re-install. and they do last several years..
these plugs' service lives are much longer than what the "advisers" recommend..
i do not know why today's "mechanics" replace them as a matter of dumb routine. maybe it's because sparking plugs are not really that expensive.
iridium plugs? i read somewhere here, that there are two types of iridium.. one that has a regular lifespan, and another that has a considerably longer lifespan.. now which is which...?

I want to check my spark plugs or clean the used one but takot ako kc nasa may engine sya and i have no idea on the mechanical parts. Mine is the regular spark plugs worth 85php each sa toyota. Mileage ng vios ko is at 32k so twice na sya napalitan ng spark plugs. 10k pms in casa and on 20k sa banawe.

mag-paturo po kayo sa mekaniko, kung hindi pa malakas ang loob nyo. it's not difficult... just some common sense.

Better papalitan mo sya every 10k na takbo.yun lang para no need to DIY.

Nung last change ko sa banawe ng spark plugs nakita ko panu tinanggal and mukang madali lang. Sa next na palit ko papaturo nako para pwede ko malinis. So on ordinary spark plugs? Is it ok to use it until 20k life span? Considering never nalinis un plugs.

I usually change my spark plugs religiously every 10k kms. Mura lang naman ang plugs. I always buy sa casa +- 90 pesos lang each. Pwede pa yung plugs pero pinapalitan ko na para maganda lagi sunog ng gasolina.

For reference lang for those who might wanna know.

Just very recently (yesterday) replaced my 06's clutch disc, cover and release bearing. Spent 3.5k for replacement parts and another 3k for labor (including tip sa mechanic).
+ piso pantahi sa butas na bulsa. :D

San po ba kadalasan nilalagay yung after market alarm box ng vios? Gusto ko sana i adjust alarm sensor sensitivity. Nakuha ko kasi itong vios 2nd hand. Hindi na din maalala nun may ari kung san nakalagay. Lightning lab po yun brand nun car alarm.

[sirkosero]

usually driver side. ilalim ng dashboard tapos nakadikit sa bakal via double sided tape

[gadtechs]

Ma acces ko kaya yun alarm box without using tools sir?

[sirkosero]

Ma acces ko kaya yun alarm box without using tools sir?

kaya naman makita yun ng walang tools. silip lang. kung gusto mo ng better access may cover ka lang na tatanggalin

[jefp0y]

Sir paano kaya malalaman kung palitin na po clutch disc and release bearing?

[blank check]

Usual sign is slipping, you rev the engine pero it doesn’t pull you as quick. Another is wild vibration when taking off. Kahit paano mo i.templa yong clutch, it still vibrates.

The latter happened to mine first, then later on meron ng slipping from time to time.
