Motoring For Dummies - All Your Car & Driving Questions Answered H

[willow_boy]

hi! I own a 93 Nissan Sentra Automatic. I just need to ask a question. Lately may napansin akong may kumakatok under my car. everytime yun pag naka idle akong matagal or pag umaatras. any ideas? tatakot kasi akong mag dala sa Mekaniko ng walang idea e. baka mag kagaguhan. ehehehe

 

If it's during idling, your car may have what they call in the US as "engine knock". Do you stick to one particular brand (Caltex, Shell, etc.) and type of gasoline? If not, then I suggest that you do after you've had your engine repaired. Some people may say na pare-pareho lang ang gasolina pero it's not true. For those who are really very particular about their cars and have a "feel" for their car's engine, mapapansin nila ang difference in performance once they switch brands.

I think changing shocks for your car is relatively easy and straightforward. Kaya kahit saang experienced car shop mo dalhin ang kotse mo would be fine.

 

That said, I changed shocks on one of my earlier cars in this place along the former Laong Laan - Nicanor Roxas na siya ngayon - in between Banawe and D. Tuazon. Sorry, can't remember it's exact name but coming from Banawe it's about <100 meters in the right side. They specialize in under chasis repair.

 

What I did was I bought my shocks in one of the nearby shops along Banawe (brand 555 ata and the shop was Kenricks) and brought it to the repair shop. Nung may kulang pa akong piyesa habang ginagawa na yung kotse, all I did was walk to Banawe, buy the needed part and walk back.

 

By the way, I remember paying 5K for a pair of shocks back then and the labor was unexpectedly cheap (parang 300/shock). But then again, tagal na nito.

Used to own a 1984 ford laser hatchback 5 speed manual done a lot of repaired on that little car from starter to bypass heater pipe and other minor maintenance works. I'm no mechanic but sometimes you just have to do it yourself if you want to save some bucks, but of course, if the repair is more complex you'd be better off getting the expert just in case you stuff it up otherwise it could be even more costly.

 

cheers

pag kaya ko i do it by myself sayang pag dinala agad sa shop e

[Sakristan_Mayor]

I agree, mas ok pag ikaw mag o iol change. u can let it drip overnyt pa para sigurado linis. timing is something hard to do for me, i go to a shop for that

[heartbreak18]

pag kaya ko naman, like fan belt, spark plugs and basic electricals, pag di umiilaw yung signals... pero pag kalikot na ng kalooban ng makina, lam ko na kung san dadalhen...

Pero bro, pano yung used oil, saan mo itatapon?

[Zamba]

Not only repair, but everyone else's car. From overhaul to, missing light bulb.

[Borgie]

i only go to a shop for major repairs... everything else i do it myself...

Ano ginamit nyo panlinis ng Windshield?

 

Kasi sabi sa akin pag hindi daw makuha ng Windshield Cleaner na Paste, bilhin ko na lng daw yung Rain Away na brand. Yung water daw narerepel daw sa windshield.

 

Pero kung wala pa rin baka palitan ko na lang buong windshield. Kaso mahal sa Casa. Pero dun sa mga Replacements around 5thou daw kaso sympre hindi pa ako sigurado.
