drodmd99 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 the better and cheper alternative is dalhin nyo sa mga radiator repair shops sa mga kanto. they change the plastic part into metal..copper ata or something.... ginawa ko na ito sa toyota ko and so far, wala naman problema. just make sure that you check the radiator fluid level every now and then and add radiator coolant to the fluid. the cost....P1000.00 at P50.00 na merienda sa tabing tindahan..

biker620 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 before yes! now no! digital age na! meron na silang ECU (on bord computer which monitors engine functions) I can troubleshot any engine problems and marunong akong mag fix. Well there are some additives that really works like metal treatment pero yong additive sa oil, enough na yong nasa oil mismo. Tip lang! kung magpa change oil kayo wag na kayong bumili ng flushing oil believe me KEROSENE lang po ang laman non! kaya bili na lang kayo ng kerosene and yon and ihalo nyo sa engine and let it idle for a minute DON'T REV it! turned off the engine and drain the oil! tnx!

Switlass Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Guys & Gals, Have some questions: 1. Would you consider repairing your own car? or mas comfortable kayo dalhin sa talyer ang auto nyo?2. Hanggang saan ang kaya ninyo?a. Flat tireb. Kahit anong under the hoodc. Maglagay lang ng tubig sa radiator 3. naniniwala ba kayo dun sa mga nabibiling mga octane booster, whatever fix-it or pang improve sa auto?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> If it's just a minor thing like changing the tire, replacing dome lights and such - I'm comfortable with doing it by myself. Anything else, the casa can handle it. a. Flat tire - yepb. Kahit anong under the hood - battery check lang. Pag hinawakan mo at nakuryente ka, then the battery is not the problem! (just kidding!)c. Maglagay lang ng tubig sa radiator - malamang. Quote Link to comment
kanski Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Have a querry about motoring but can't find the appropriate thread? Ask it here.Want to post something about motoring and can't find an appropriate thread? Post it here. ----------------------- Question: Would it be possible to install a car alarm with remote key access in vehicles without power-locks? If so, will I be able to open and close all 4 locks of the vehicles simultaneoulsly as if it had power-locks, with the use of the remote? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
toweringinferno Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 1. Would you consider repairing your own car? or mas comfortable kayo dalhin sa talyer ang auto nyo?-----i feel much comfortable doing my own car. sometimes, i hate those dirty and disorganized mechanics. wala lang ako obd kaya i leave that to the experts. 2. Hanggang saan ang kaya ninyo?-----from trouble shooting, change oil, tune up, suspension, a little electronics, brakes, flat tire, little detailing stuffs, etc. (nothing major like overhaul) 3. naniniwala ba kayo dun sa mga nabibiling mga octane booster, whatever fix-it or pang improve sa auto?-----octane booster na nilalagay sa fuel tank, yes. specifically iyung whiz octane booster or whiz fuel injector cleaner. this really works. kung sa mga add-on na gadgets, believe me folks, nothing of this stuffs are worth trying! waste of money! a total rip off!

hitomi Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 ^am curious, why would you not want power locks? if your car does not have this, you can buy a powerlock system for it and have it installed in lots of shops, including a car alarm. just curious Quote Link to comment
moneyball Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 kahit tune-up kakayanin ko. pero kapag body repair na, o malalang sira sa engine, sa aircon, sa transmission, sa computer o kung anuman, yari ako dun. diretsong talyer na ako. yung mga devices na dinadagdag sa kotse, tulad ng mga turbocharger, sports filters, etc., gumagan sila, pero bakit ka bibili kung sapat na sayo ang horsepower ng oto mo, di ba?

bubuy Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 b. Kahit anong under the hood - battery check lang. Pag hinawakan mo at nakuryente ka, then the battery is not the problem! (just kidding!)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>ito namang kapatid ko nagpatawa pa.. i miss riding your monster truck sis.. minor repairs lang meaning yung kaya ng tools na meron ako.. pag wala akong tools para sa certain job sa mechanic na..

jhojhie45 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Much better if distilled water (e.g. Wilkins) ang ilagay mo sa radiator. Ingat ka lang sa coolant. Too much coolant additive will damage your radiator. Quote Link to comment
kanski Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 ^am curious, why would you not want power locks?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> you probably just misunderstood, i do want power locks for my car. that's the reason for my query. if your car does not have this, you can buy a powerlock system for it and have it installed in lots of shops, including a car alarm.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> didn't know this, that's why i was asking. well, on the day that i was to take delivery for my new vehicle, my sales rep gave me a call and suggested that since i was overcharged 1.7k (for a tpl despite a comprehansive insurance), i could have power locks installed for an additional P800. naturally, i jumped on the offer. problem solved.

kanski Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 next questions: 1) could you recommend a shop that installs a car alarm system and does quality work? also, kindly suggest a good brand for a car alarm. 2) if i were to change my wheels to one with a bigger size (say from 15" to 17") and the tires to a lower profile to match the bigger rims, would that make my vehicle's bumpy ride even more bumpy? again, any help would be appreciated. thanks.
