Hi Bodgie,

Puwede ba sakalin ang SF para medyo tumipid naman sa Fuel Consumption?

Actually Sir marami pong factors kaya mataas fuel consumption natin
Road Conditions, Weather Condition even Driving Habits, have heard a lot of good comments sa SF nila but sometimes hindi po talaga maiiwasan na merong hindi masatisfy, if ever po na may concerns kayo inform nyo lang po ako baka po makatulong....

Ok thanks.

Baka jan ako uli ako magpa-5k PMS next month.

Actually jan ako sa Global city nagpa-1k PMS last October the day there was a blast at Glorietta.

Don ba sa 5k PMS kasama ng papalitan ung ATF?

Sa Balintawak kasi 1k PMS pa lang palit na pati ATF.

**bodgiegarcia** · January 4th, 2008 04:10 PM

Sir Hindi pa po dapat palitan ATF as per HARI po dapat po sa 40,000KMS and 80,000kms ang palit ng ATF, OIL FILTER and OIL lang po ang dapat palitan, pipili nalang po kayo kung semi synthetic of full synthetic ang ipapalagay po natin...

**bodgiegarcia** · January 4th, 2008 04:14 PM

If ever po na mag pa PMS kayo inform nyo lang po ako the Day after para po ma i Priority tayo, at least po hindi kayo kailangan maghintay ng mas matagal

*godwacker, - Magiging reference rin naman yung case mo for other owners. Like me personally, interested ako sa development nyan. Dealers kasi wouldn't risk stacking their inventories with parts not easily disposed of. Pero imo, headlights should be readily available sa dealers kasi may mga accidents na sa harapan ang tama, so natural na tamaan ang headlights. Sorry OT.

Hmmm. Iba iba kayo ng standard in that case.
kasi sa Quezon Avenue kung san ko kinuha ung SF ko, ganon din ang sabi. kasama ang ATF sa papalitan.

Di na lang ako sa kanila nagpa-PMS (balintawak or Quez Ave) and I chose Global City due to proximity from the office here at makati and due to the fact na you have extended office hours which I find convenient para there is no need to rush after office just to get my unit.

Ang reason ng tiga-balintawak to have the ATF changed is due to possible presence of metal chips on the ATF. Dahil nga sa bago ang sasakyan, metal chips may still be present on the metal surface and some of them could not be removed in the manufacturing process. These metal chips may be dissolved in the ATF themselves and it is just logical to have them changed after the 1k PMS.

Di ako nakikipag-debate. I am just sharing some information I got from different SAs I have talked to.

Nasa 3970 na ang Odo ko and I project bago mag-end ang January eh aabot na to ng 5k.

Gaya ng sinabi ko dati na ni-reserba ko lang kung kailan ko gugustuhin makigpag ayusan ng HARI directly is a calculated risk on my part. Now you said SOP -Standart Operating Prodecure. And talking about procedure, they deviced it that way so that things would be orderly and smooth. Procedures are supposed to make things go faster and in a very efficient manner. You make shortcuts(like talking to HARI directly) make things go haywire and clearly breaking the rules of procedures as what you say -SOP. This is how professionalism was meant to be kung meron man sila nu'n.

I would still sustain that when my dealer explicitly told me they already have done the procedurals from their side and no approval yet from HARI, I am more inclined to believe my dealer and that HARI is just sitting on my warranty claim for more than a month now. So the big question is sino kaya ngayon ang inefficient sa dalawa?

i would not say that this is a design flaw of Hyundai only (if there is a design flaw) my lancer mx before had the same problem and even my honda civic SiR... i've even seen toyotas and bmw's with this problem.
