SPEEDOMETER CABLE PROBLEM...

Hi to all!

Share ko lang din ang na-experience ko when the speedometer cable of my 3.5 year old avanza 1.3J got broken.

Paakyat kami ng Marcos Highway when I noticed my speedometer is not working anymore. After a few meters, I felt like the engine stalled. The feeling is like "nakabit mo sa neutral ang kambyo". Then I have to go on shoulder. After a few seconds ok na ulit ang engine.

After a few hundred meters uphill, lumabas ang "check engine" indicator. Nothing happened since I was thinking then that it's because of the broken speedometer cable. Stayed in Baguio for another 3 days.

Pagbaba na namin, the travel was problem free except when we reached a portion of Bocaue along NLEX. Again, nag-stall ang engine kaya I need to go on shoulder again. It happended 3 times along that stretch. Nakauwi naman kami safely sa QC. I called up a friend and suggested that the engine stalling is caused by the computer box not detecting any speed from my car. At prolong RPM, it stops the supply of fuel.

Nagcanvass ako sa TYT Q.Ave but out of stock. Even in Celica Genuine Parts along Araneta. They gave me a price of Php 2600 but I have to wait for 7 days.

A friend referred me to THK in Banawe. Katabi ng Toyorama very near E.Rod. They have a replacement cable na Made in Japan. Php 600 only. I have no choice so pinakabit ko sa trusted mechanic ko sa Araneta. Labor fee is Php 500.

The next day, we traveled to Pampanga. No more stalling.

parang mali yata ang program ng ECU ng avanza pag ganyan.. hindi dapat mag stall ang engine kasi hindi naman part ng engine ang speedometer cable... minsan nga may busted na sensor pero hindi naman dapat mamatay ang engine.. iilaw lang dapat ang CEL pero dapat tuloy ang andar nyan.. kasi delikado pag nag stall ang makina...

Ako din nagtaka kung bakit pati speedometer cable will bring stalling problems. It's really dangerous lalo na sa NLEX high speed driving ang mga kotse.

So far so good yung Made in Japan replacement I bought. Mahirap lang ikabit since the cable is located inside tha dash.

This is how I periodically maintain my Avanza 1.3J 2008 model:

- I change spark plugs every 10,000 kms. I now use the Denso XU22EP-U replacement spark plug. It costs Php 110 each.

- I replace the air filter every oil change (i.e. every 5,000 kms.) since I am only using a replacement air filter but resembles the original Toyota air filter. It costs Php 250 each only.

- Labor charge from my trusted mechanic: Php 200 (engine tune-up)

- Change oil every 5,000 kms. using 3 liters of Castrol Magnatec 10w-40. Php 300 per liter.

- Change oil filter every oil change using Vic oil filter. Php 200 each.

- Labor charge from my trusted mechanic: Php 250 (oil change)

Basically same tayo, iyon lang nga nasa 19,000km na ang plugs ko, papalitan ko sa next change oil. dati talaga, every 10,000km ako palit plugs. first time ko ginawa ng more than 10,000km.so far ok naman.

naka aftermarket filters ako kaya madalang nag palit.

3 liters of magnatec and vic oil filter din.

kaso, every 5,000 km change oil, palinis ng brakes. gamit pa ng 3M brake cleaner.


btw 2007 avanza J. 4-spoke na ang manibela with driver aigbag. odometer is now at 109,XXX km.

Meron ako available pre fabricated stock ng Avanza hand break button. 500 pesos lang. Alumnium alloy material kaya mas matibay sa plastic na nakakabit sa avanza natin. Walang hand break button sparepart para jan ang toyota. Full hand break replacement ang offer nila. It will cost you 4,000+ pesos. Meet up anywhere as Alabang or dito sa SM Molino kung interested ka. Exact size. Ikakabit mo na lang. Na offer ko na rin ito sa Toyota Dasma as replacement part. Txt to 09272711420 kung sure buy ka na. Thanks.

sir pwede ba shipping? QC kasi ako

[zaldytor]

Sorry, cash on delivery. Talagang meet up lang sa Festival Mall Alabang or Alabang towncenter ang pinaka malapit sa akin. 6 pieces na lang ang available. Probably kung may bibili lahat ng 6 pieces at 1 place sa QC possible kong i drop by.
