Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[pulilanboy]

if di mo naman habol yung facelift ng newer model, go for the one that suits your budget. mostly cosmetic upgrade lang ang crosswind. turbo upgrade is only for emission not performance...

turbo na rin ata ung 2008 na sportivo. tnx sa advise.

Better check kung turbo na siya. At least mas mabilis mag accelerate pag meron turbo at meron option ka na lagyan ng devilsown. Mine is 2001 XTO at naka turbo na siya. Also note na takaw huli ang Isuzu dahil sa usok maski na bago pa siya.

hello, newbie here. my wife and I wanted to buy an isuzu crosswind. budget is 500k. with this budget would you guys rather recommend to get a new 2013 xuv or a 2nd hand 2008 sportivo xuvi? meron kase nag offer sa amin halos 600k for the latter model. im torn between the monthly amort kung new model but then want a higher albeit older model. need your inputs.

tnx

The main difference between the XUV (side-facing) and Sportivo (front-facing) is the 3rd row seats. In addition, the Sportivo got the better HU and rear camera. Things that are easily addressed in the after market. The driving mechanicals are essentially the same.

Dont limit yourself sa dalawang sasakyan na yan. Maski walang usok yan pag nakita ng usok boys yang sasakyan na yan ichecheck mila. Malaking abirya pag lagi kang na checheck. Seldom go sa makati.

[jancruz]

^sir salamat sa advice..

mga sir yung automatic tranny ba ng crosswind eh may option na ma release to manual para in case ma drain battery eh pwede matulak crosswind AT.

Hindi pwede sir. Just always bring along power cable na pang series. As a precaution narin mas maganda kung may voltmeter ka to monitor kung kumakarga pa alternator mo

what you mean matulak....if you mean tulak to bring to your house or auto shop, pwede put the gear in N position..
but if you mean tulak to get it started like manual tranny...NO ( it is written on User manual )

Marami sa mga Crosswind owners na member ng Team Isuzu Pilipinas ang gumagamit ng 2t with ther Crosswind, according to them effective daw nagiging smooth ang takbo ng engine plus nababawasan ang usok.

hmmmm.. halos araw-araw ako sa makati driving my isuzu pero wala pa namang sumisita (knock on wood ). i guess, courtesy of Devil'sOwn!!! nasubukan ko na din once yung 2T kaya lang di ko pa na check kung talagang bawas usok kapag high rpm na.

btw, had "unplanned" replacement of front brake pads (orig TDW to Delta brand) sa Timog Tirehause. Inabot ako mga 2k (inclusive of P500 labor + tips). i know driving-habit dependent pero parang ang aga yata for 35k mileage? sabi nung mechanic mabilis talaga dahil AT.

any suggestions on the brake pads for rear? (preparing for it next)

[nelany]

Daan ka sa C5 Kalayaan sa umaga (from C5 turn right ka sa Kalayaan) at ma che check ka.

Normal wear yung front brake mo sa ganyan milyahe sa Crosswind. Yung likod will take time para ma upod.

pag nagpa reface ng rotors, kelangan bang bagong brakepads din? wala pa kasing 3 mos yung existing pads . pero di n din pantay kasi may konting uka sa gitna nung pads.

goodmorning, upon reface of rotor, had to replace a new brake pad i recommend use bendix made of australia. e2 gamit ko sa crosswind xuv, maganda ang performance.

About 2T oil, dba ang mga trycicle na 2 stroke engine ay gumamit ng 2T oil din napakausop. Paano kung lagyan din ng 2T oil ang diesel fuel ng Xwind natin baka ang usok ay parang usok tricycle na rin.

paki search na lang thread dito tungkol sa 2T and diesel mixture. i think dvldoc started it. lots of insightful exchanges in that thread. baka informative sa yo. di ako expert dito ;)
