Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

**straker** · June 29th, 2015 01:09 PM

Macky,

Seems your stint in this forum is over. We'll see you in another thread. I'm contemplating to sell my APV, but might take a while.

To the remaining APV'ers,

Has anyone used Iridium or Platinum spark plugs on your APV? I'm still using the OEM BKR6E plugs.

New owner here with some questions.

Madaling nakawin ba ang spare ng APV?
Do I have to buy a lock for the spare?
Do I need to increase the insulation for the engine or ok lang sya?
I've seen some glove box conversions done for the empty slot where the optional airbag is. Where can I buy this?

Plenty more questions to come once I get the unit later. Thanks.

You can add additional chain para sa spare tire.
Ok naman kahit di na dagdagan ng insulation. Malamig parin kahit tirik ang araw.

BTW just hitch from a co-worker going to work with his montero, i felt the ride was stiff kaysa sa ating APV. Riding comfort ng APV was much better. Looks lang talaga ang monty.

Mungkahi lang o suggestions po. Try palit air filter and change your ATF, before replacing your spark plugs to iridium. And check its Ignition Timing too. Then observe nyo po kung may pagbabago rin sa Fuel Consumption. [emoji4]

Took the APV for a spin yesterday and had a nice time naman driving. Took me a while to go back learning manual after driving automatic for years. I like the power of the APV, very responsive. As I parked it in the garage, i've noticed that is way shorter than a Honda City but a lot roomier. Some other questions/concerns that I hope you guys could help out.

1. I was playing around with the Odometer and saw it had a Trip A and B and had one mode that showed three o's (ooo). Anybody knows what that is for?
2. The wipers chatter too much. Is this normal?
3. The middle seats aren't locking in place. I think I have to adjust this as well.
4. I have the GLX model and seems that I only hear 2 speakers on the doors. I've notice there are speaker receptacles on the dash and at the back 3rd row seating. Are these empty?
5. Does anybody have any idea how much is it to get a duplicate key fob at Suzuki? Any alternative?
Thanks.

The three ooo might be brightness level of instrument cluster. Read the manual.

Hi All,

it's been a while since my last post.

since replacing piston rings, valve seals and valve cover, its been great! switched to Motul fully synthetic and it runs very smooth

Fc is still 5.5km/l city and 8.3km/l highway.

alog lang yung brake caliper ko. sabi ng supervisor sa casa lumuluwag daw talaga minsan. the fix is to put a sleeve sa pin to prevent it from shaking.

any thoughts?
