Brought my unit back to Diamond Motors Greenhills EDSA last Saturday to have it re-tinted since 3 windows developed bubbles. Never sumipot the tinter and had to reschedule it for Wednesday. While kausap ko the SA and their manager re: the non appearance of the tinter and requested for an early appointment on Wednesday. They told me that hindi pwede since contractor yun wala silang control sa oras and earliest they can accomodate was 10. Grrr... Ngayon lang ako nakarining na ang contractor ang nagseset ng oras and not the dealer. Luckily knew someone in management and raised my concern nung nalaman na I was complaining biglang inaccomodate my early apppointment request.
Rained hard tonight and after 3 months of owning the unit, this is the 1st time that I experienced driving in the rain. Epic fail palpak the wipers and nagskip. Hirap tuloy to drive in the rain.

i assume sir you are still using the stock wipers. 2 days after i got the unit while going down from baguio on heavy rains, wipers didn't serve its purpose:-(....will be replacing them soon especially rainy season is coming. Safety is my main concern.

i agree. it's an epic fail. the OEM wipers (at least the rubber on the wipers) are really crap. you can change the rubber or the whole wiper (bosch aerotwin seems to be the recommendation of many MSCP members)

I normally drive slow (smooth acceleration) but after weeks of driving slowly, when I did "sprints", I can see black smoke on my rear view mirror. After about 3-4 "sprints", the black smoke is gone. Does this mean we have to do "sprints" every once in a while? I do enjoy it though, hahaha. Is this normal with all diesels? I have no experience with diesel cars since I have been driving gasoline vehicles ever since.

good day po! i'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, please correct me if i'm wrong...
I'm from Bacolod City...i'm wondering sir if the dealer quoted me right for the MS GLS-V for 1.448M against the SRP of 1.408M....they say the reason for this is that it's the normal pricing for units away from NCR....thanks in advance po!

Kinda normal since meron talaga carbon deposits eh. if you want, you can try putting 5ml of 2T oil per liter of diesel. Use the 2T oil with FC rating like Castrol Activ. Read the link below for the explanation.

Agree also on the Bosch Aerotwin as this is what I am using. Very effective during rainy season.

Maybe due to the shipping cost...?
