Hi Sir High King,
Newbie lang po ako sa forum na ito, I would like to request for an update on your car kase po ganito rin ang nangyari sa Avanza ko na 1yr old. Nadala ko na sya sa Toyota Balintawak, 3weeks ng andun atsaka pa lang na-diagnose na papalitan ang ECU ng airbag, tapos 1month pa daw bago dumating ang stock so pinull-out ko muna. Up to now di wala pa ung order. I wonder kung ano ang ginawa sa unit nyo. Regarding sa ingay ng clutch, may mga mekaniko na nagsabi na eventually mawawala din ang ingay (totoo ba ito?) di nman daw serious na concern ito.

Regards to all ... sana maayos na lahat ang cars na biktima ni Ondoy.

damaged parts (Instrument Panel, Power Window Switch, Resistor Block, A/C Blower) to be repaired. My advice is replace them. Instrument Panel is impossible to be repaired. Power window switch might be repaired depend upon the model. But no guaranteed it will work well as before. A/C blower bring to A/C technician. If burned out, replace.

Most likely release bearing yang umuiingay. Not so much big deal kung hindi ka nahihirapang magkambyo. Since binaha yan syempre lumubog sa tubig at kinalawang. Probably sana mawala ang noise kapag ginagamit parati. Or else replacement is needed and your transmission or transaxle will brought down. Once it happened, change/replace 1. release bearing 2. pressure plate 3. clutch disk.

If totally submerged in floodwater with mud, better trade in that car. As an experienced technical man in automotive,restoring that car submerged in floodwater there's no more guaranty that it's performance would be good as before. Makukunsumi

ka lang.

Regarding our Nissan Urvan Estate, nakabili na kami ng ECU but the engine won't start pa rin so we had no choice but to bring to the casa and the estimate was 79k. 65k daw ang calibration ng fuel pump. Ganun ba talaga kamahal yun?

Yikes! ang mahal naman. Is that Diesel or Gasoline?

Finally my Jazz is running again after having my fusebox replaced (ECU was OK surprisingly). Ang dami ko pang kelangan ayusin: A/C, power windows and locks, HU at ang pinaka magastos is ung EPS for power steering. The engine seemed to be as quiet as before after bringing it in sa CASA for performance check and reprogram of ECU. Konting gastos pa and I can restore it close to it's original state. I hope everyone's car gets repaired and restored as well. Just keep your hopes high just like I did.

after two months na ginagamit ko yun grand starex vgt ko na binaha until flooring, the transmission got locked sa 4th gear. ayaw nya magshift ng gear. sabi ng hyundai when i called them, dahil daw sa baha pa din yun. now lang daw naglalabasan mga problema. never ending perwisyo from Ondoy... sobrang intay na naman sa insurance company ito!!! at parts malamang!!!
