I just had it serviced at a Mitsu Casa. They say it's the WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY (that's 7k already!!). What do you think? I already asked the BYPASS HOSE when I went to RAPIDE and they don't seem to know where it is. That's why I left it to the experts at MITSU. The only problem is you're completely under their control and before you know it...your wallet is empty :shocked2:

I tried to have it aligned last 9/29/07 at RAPIDE. Then they told me they cannot bec. of the Tie Rod and Suspension Arm (which I think causes my car to veer to the right when the steering wheel is released). And the estimate...around P25k! Is that justifiable? So I went to other Mechanics. They told me it's only a TIE-ROD problem. Others, the Suspension ARM only. Now who the heck would tell me what the real problem is?

sir san po located yung shop nila? reasonable po ba ang pricing? i wanted a reputable and trustworthy shop to analyze my car's suspension needs eh.

Not bad for it's class. This drastically changes when u don't use your aircon (remember 70% of fuel is consumed by the A/C). And of course the TRANNY. If you're going for the Manual Tranny then it's less consuming than the A/T.

Ok naman kasi hindi din naman pansin 'yun eh as long as malamig naman 'yung tumatamang hangin sa upper body pati sa mukha. May kabig din sa kanan 'yung kotse kaya sabi sa akin ball joint daw.

yung sa relay ko parang pinasa nila sa HEATER...since di ko naman daw gagamitin un (nga naman, wala naman tayo snow eh

). my aircon is the digital one. about sa kabig ko sa kanan, I'm still hesitant. Tie-rod, suspension arm, ball joint or all of the above?? Alin nga kaya ang problem. Someone out there got tips for me?

Dinala namin sa Zee yung Galant para ipacheck suspension. Medyo malakas na kabig sa kanan pati maalog na kahit konting lubak. Daming papalitan eh pero siguro it's about time kasi since pagkabili ng Galant wala pang pinapalitan sa suspension system. Ang estimate 8,080 - the whole works plus fries on the side. Pinagawa na namin kasi mahirap na baka sa daan pa abutin ng problema. Sa Cruven sana namin dadalhin mas malapit sa amin ang Zee. Tomorrow makukuha na namin yung Galant. I'll post kung okay naman ang gawa nila pero with what I've read and heard about Zee's suspension jobs, pulido daw talaga.

Sirs, I have a question... I'm planning to buy a '96 VR4, is it true na mausok daw ung muffler? Not sure kung true ung sinsasabi nung kakilala ko. Thanks in advance!

Saan yung ZEE dude? I'm from Laguna kasi...ask mo naman if they have a branch here. Also keep me updated about dun sa problem mo. P8,080 is ok for me! Kaysa 21 k! Ano yung pati parts sagot na nila? Or ikaw na ang bumili?
