When it's time to replace worn out parts

**1D4LV** · July 18th, 2005 07:42 PM

i go for OEMs for critical parts like compressors, radiator fans, alternators and as such. pero i go for replacements dun sa mga non-criticals or semi-criticals such as oil filters, shock absorbers, etc.

ang mga replacement parts na nasa car ko ngayon ay KYB shocks, GMB water pump, 555 brake pads at NGK wheel bearings.

For more important parts I would get OEM/Honda though.

Likewise here. but, sometimes i also use surplus parts.

I think you should consider changing a worn out part after you get into an accident because of the worn out part. Or was that you should do it before? ;)

I'd go with OEM or better.

price wise

sa konting diprensiya, sa oem na. especially kung critical part like t belt etc. den pag oem usually sa casa para sigurado and pwede credit card. =)

pero kung me oem outside of casa na reliable naman ang seller, don na ko bili.

other than that , replacement will do pero dapat high quality din. wag naman yung sobra mura. siguro yung mga 1st-2nd class replacement ok pa.

i usually go with OEM parts, may bad experience na rin kasi kami sa mga cheap parts hehe

pero sa tulong ng tsikot, i now know which quality replacement parts to buy na hehe

OEM but not from the casa. Pre-used (hehe second hand) kung kilala ko yun previous owner so I'll know how long he/she has used it.

pag engine parts, i go for oem not from casa. pag suspensions 555 brand will do and i buy sa mismong suppliers sa manila, kahit mga oil seals and bearings I personally buy them para orig na and cheaper pa. Nakabisado ko na nga maynila kakaikot para sa mga parts na ito. Yung surplus parts naman usually na bibilhin mo ay mga door mouldings, rear view mirrors or any accessory na hindi maapektuhan ang performance ng car mo, interior baga?. Pero sometimes kung dun lang fit and budget, mas ok kumuha nun kesa replacement na tsina.If you're going to buy replacement parts tanung mo yung "mas japan" at sigurado may ilalabas pa syang iba. pag japan lang, yun ang japeyks!

for our ford lynx, we went to this repair shop in pasay (jojie's) and had the auxiliary motor and fan blade replaced with a surplus one from a toyota. exacto and size and they just refitted the original lynx frame. total cost: PHP1,200 lang

so far, its been 2 months and wala namang problema. na solve tuloy ang overheating sa lynx and erratic rpm during idling

now, the car runs smoothly
