    mirage G4 year 2015, newly replaced na battery, ayaw mag start.

    Parang common na sakit na ata yan ng Mirage.

    Meron kami Mirage hatch ganyan din sakit, minsan ayaw mag start talaga...

    Vapor lock ata issue, buksan mo fuel cap for 20 mins, then try mo start while pumping the gas pedal.
  • forgot the name LOL
    pero kilalang vkool installer yun, along ortigas; katabi ng mchome depot

  • ok lang ba 3m na orig ipalagay na tint?
  • ok lang ba 3m na orig ipalagay na tint?

    Depende sa series ng 3m, check mo sa car 101 thread. May post si bro dm doon re: tints
  • ok lang ba 3m na orig ipalagay na tint?

    Go for CS series or higher. Wag yung FX.

    Katumbas sa V-Kool ng CS series is yung OEM series, same price lang.

    Advantage lang ng V-Kool, slightly higher heat rejection tapos mas maliwanag ng onti from the inside vs 3M CS.
  • madalas kasi ung DELO GOLD sa gasoline engine :D (pang mumug before using Fully synthetic)
    question sino na naka gamit ng gantong oil sa kotse.




    Php 150 kasi ang per liter?? monograde (summer naman eh) baka lang may nagkarga nito na nag titipid.

    ala akong nababasa na thread, pang motorcycles lang ata to??? baka lang may nag mumug nito sa engine nila bago nag karga ng mamahalin na langis
  • dati gamit ko yan sa EE90 ko.... ngayon.... pang mumog ko DELO 15W-40 pang diesel nung nakuha ko yung makina (surplus).... pero may nakita ako Havoline 20W-40 175 petot ata pero litre, mas mura kesa dun sa Havoline 15W-40 o kaya sa DELO 15W-40 na nasa 215 per litre... 3 litres kinuha ko tapos isang lata ng pertua....

    gusto ko sana ng 10W-30 o kaya 15W-30 para dito sa 4AFE ko.... kaso walang mineral, puro synth yung 10W-30...
  • @redwing001

    pwede narin palang pang alternative sa delo if ever.

    3 litres kinuha ko tapos isang lata ng pertua


    ganto rin ung balak ko na combo para sakto ung dami ng langis

    salamat sir!
  • ano po ba brake cleaner recommend niyo, gusto ko kasi diy change oil. sa casa(mitsubishi) yun observe ko gamit nila pang linis dun sa tapat ng oil filter. same lang ba sa degreaser yung brake cleaner ?
  • buti naayos ko yung backup LED taillights ko.... palitan ko at mas maganda itsura nitong mga ito kesa sa gamit ko ngayon....

    pinalitan ko yung bulb socket nito.... dati tinatanggal ko lahat ng naka saksak sa bulb socket para malagyan ng wires.... big no no pala... mas maganda na iwan mo yung filament holder ng bulb kasi pede pala hinangin ito at dito mo lagay yung wires papunta sa LED... mas malinis tignan at may structural reinforcement pa yung bulb socket...

    may nabibiling brake cleaner... spray can ito... nakalagay mismo sa can na brake cleaner.
  • 3m merong brake cleaner
    sa ace o handyman meron nito

    Wurth yung gamit ng casa, kinuha ko yung natira
  • ano po ba brake cleaner recommend niyo

    ako gamit ko compressed air (me Vespa compressor kasi ako) tsaka paint brush. syempre, wear protective dust mask.

    tapos konting liha using sandpaper sa brake pad.

  • @redwing.grifter.flipo,padre:

    salamat. try ko pa hanap dito sa amin, sa handyman/ace/tru value kasi dito sa amin sa cdo....degreaser can lang nakita ko.
  • mga sir,

    Ok lang ba gumamit ng diesel engine oil sa gasoline na kotse pang change oil? i.e Petron Rev-x DIESEL Engine Oil SAE 15W-40 sa sentra gx 2006? mas may proteksyon daw yon lalo na high mileage na, odo is 160k.

    TIA!
  • pede kung meron nakalagay na letter S dun sa oil rating niya like SF, SL, SM, etc... pag wala, hanap ka na lang high mileage mineral oil... yung mga 20W-50 high mileage oil yang mga yan para sa mga matatandang makina.
  • lakas pala ng overspray nitong haupon.... nagpintura ako ng rear bumper pero napansin ko pati yung quarter panel (yung nasa taas ng bumper at nasa baba ng trunk) parang gumaspang.... niliha ko uli para matanggal yung nag build up na clear coat.

    kelangan talaga mapinturahan ko na yung trunk para masimulan na yung clear coat ng kotse at matapos na yung kalbaryo ko dito sa kotseng ito... clear coat na lang kulang e...

    ^_^
  • ^ may pics ka ba lodi?

    long drive sa pangasinan bukas, madaling araw na ata ako luluwas vs 6am
  • @redwing0001,

    Thank you sir!
  • kunan ko before and after ng pintura ng trunk at body.....

    madaling lang kung trip niyo mag DIY, e.... mahirap lang yung pag timpla ng spray gun.... di pedeng sobrang liguid, di rin pedeng sobrang air, dapat tamang tama lang dun sa viscosity ng paint....

    kunan ko ng pics yung aftermath ng pag pintura ko nung bumper.... 4 (relatively thick... na dapat 6 or more thinner) coats all in all pero nung tumigas, maganda rin yung results.... may runs pero madaling lang tanggaling yun.... kasi nagloko yung trigger ng spray dun, ayaw mag off... nilangisan ko pa para di mag stuck sa ON.

    saka dahil meron na siyang clearcoat dati, walang problema yung compatibility ng paint... pareho silang polyurethane clear coat...
  • @ kernel_panic

    Yan gamit ko pang flush. Ang gaan nyan sa makena hehe MO40 panalo
  • @milesdsc

    nakita ko lang sa auto supply nakita ko monograde pinang top up ko lang (di ko parin kasi napapa ayos ung oil seals etc etc ko) then after 200kms mag change oil na ako.
  • pagnapamumog mo na yang oil, palit oil seal at saksak ng bagong oil na ulit.
  • Anyone nakapag decarb na?
    Thinking lang kasi 50k na odo, nalinis na EGR.
    innova 2012
    Pati aircon hindi ko pa pinalilinis heheh, malamig pa naman, more on short trips kasi ang byahe kaya mababa ang odo
  • sakto usapan sa taas, mag che-change oil na rin kasi ako. Dun sa performance store na alam ko, 1k ung 1 gallon na ZIC x7 (gasoline engine) Fully synthetic. Pero i pi-pickup mo pa sya sa QC.

    Pero nag he-hesitate kasi ako kasi minsan ko nalang rin kasi gamitin tsikot namin. Mga isang beses ko lng nagagamit sa loob ng 1 week. Minsan hindi ko pa talaga ginagamit. Painit makina na lang.

    Kaya baka mag ganto na lng ako. <click here for link>
  • Before you decarbonise, please consider the following:

    - Decarbonising a modern emissions-compliant fuel-injected petrol / common-rail diesel engine isn't really warranted and doesn't improve engine health to any great extent.
    - Frequent decarbonising is a procedure best avoided, by all expert opinions. Most automobile manufacturers (Tata is an exception) don't recommend decarbonising as a routine maintenance procedure.
    - Have you properly troubleshot the real reason behind your engine running rough / sluggishly? Is it really carbon deposit that is causing the problem?
    - Is the mechanic performing the procedure aware of what he is doing? An 800cc petrol engine doesn't need as much decarbonising solution as a 3.0L diesel does. Overuse of decarbonising chemicals is harmful to your engine.
    - Decarbonising an engine that is 100,000+ kms old could actually increase its fuel and oil consumption. Either way, don't expect a radical boost in FE after decarbonisation, whether your engine is old or new.
    - The perceived improvements (post-decarbonisation) are temporary, for just a few thousand kms, before the engine goes back to its old ways.
    - There are no scientific evidence-based studies that attest to the effectiveness of these proprietary machines and chemicals.
    - The carbon emitted from the exhaust (in the form of smoke) pollutes the air you breathe.
    - Decarbonising isn't cheap. It is easier and cheaper to carry out preventive maintenance; pure fuel supply from reliable pumps, timed oil changes, higher quality oils etc. are effective in preventing / reducing carbon buildup.

    To conclude, chemically decarbonising an engine isn't the cure-all that manufacturers of such equipment and chemicals tout them to be. There are pros and cons to carrying out the procedure, and I personally do not recommend decarbonisation, especially for an engine that is running in a healthy state. That said, the procedure can be considered as a last-ditch measure after all other options have been explored, in situations where engine performance remains poor, and you are keen to try something a little less 'invasive' before opening up the engine.

    In the end, it's your car, and it's your choice.
