Ssangyong Actyon: Poor Man's CX7?

[jeanpierre]

My transmission was replaced finally ...got back the car last Saturday. So far so good.

How long did you wait naman for the new trans?

It took them 3 months to troubleshoot...and another 2 months to order/ship wait for the parts...sighhhh...

Tagal pala. Hussle kung isa lang car mo. But I'm surprised kasi tagal nila troubleshoot eh di ba computerized na engine that by just plugging sa diagnostic port dapat maidedntify na nila problems sa system?
Sa unit ko minor lang naman problem, yong rattle sa doors

Ang nangyari kasi...downlevel code ng computer nila so kailangan pa nila upgrade yun computer code nila....it added to the total waiting time because they need to go over the whole procurement cycle to order the new code from Ssangyong pa....waaa! Pero at least guys....if you will ever need the computer from Erod for diagnosing your car.....for sure bago na yun computer code dun..
Nahirapan sila itroubleshoot kasi pag sa traffic hindi mo mararamdaman yun nginig ....sa long stretch lang....pero magaling yung bagong service manager nila dun ngayon .... nakita nya agad ang problem...compared dun sa nagresign na manager....di nya nakita.

tgal ko ng hnd nkapost dito....welcome sa mga new owners haha

anyway, still loving our actyon around 20k mileage na siya and going 3 years na this coming december haha...

i encountered a problem with our actyon. you sa interior ung parang lagayan ng mga "cigarette ash" ung retractable (between the transmission and the middle storage cabin) parang may sira. kasi it is so hard to push it down and to pull it up parang may problem yata sa alignment? anu sa tgnin nyo co-owners? and i saw parang may nahuhulog na long sticks sa loob...alignment lng kaya problem nito?

Well it happend to me also. The sliding cover is actually supported by a plastic stick bone and its actually placed at the back of the sliding cover. All of it will eventually drop off and this is actually a design flaw. The only disadvantage once everything falls off the center of the sliding cover you will notice it will be soft and once you mistakenly put a heavy object on top of the sliding cover it might break it so be carefull. Well even without the stick bones it still work properly and that is what I have for now.

This can be fixed where you can put a support at the back of the sliding cover but parang mahirap ang DIY, so hinayaan ko na lang.

Just to share: My Actyon already reached the 30K mark last august and change my oil using Motul 5w/40 CRDI bought it at ACE hardware. Well ang lakas ng hatak compared when I used Liquimoly 5w/40 or 5w/50. Also replaced the front & rear brake pads at 30K, but you should check it na at 25K. At 30K the front brake pad almost pudpod na. I will post a compatible brake pad for our actyon once I find one alternative to casa.

Guys may alam ba kayo na shop na kayang repair ang deep scratches sa plastic bumpers ng Actyon natin? Sa QC lang sana location para malapit.
TIA

Grabe linis lang aabot na ng 17K? Baka naman yong filter madumi lang. Pa check mo kaya sa Makati or Roxas Blvd Ssangyong outlet at baka iba naman findings nila.

Atc1688 - Good afternoon! had a similar problem with my ACU 4months ago. What I did was dismantled the filters and had it blasted with air at a nearby Vulcanizing shop. Alas! ACU fixed...you can do it yourself by referring to the manual and would only take 1hr to fix. Up to now I only use nos.1 setting.

Hope this help...
