Question about replacement parts

**bail** · March 12th, 2015 04:26 PM

Is it advisable to use toyota replacement parts? Im planning to buy water pump for my corolla 97 but its so expensive costs around 5k compare to just 900+ replacements parts in toyorama. Anyone uses replacement parts here? Madali ba masira or ok naman?

just get oem or reputable brands and you'll be okay. GMB is a good brand

Yung GMB brand reliable naman basta don't use pure distilled water, gamit ka din coolant kahit 40% or 50% lang and the rest is water. Use long-life coolant concentrate as well and make sure na ma-flush cooling system mo. Alam na dapat yan nang mekaniko mo if marunong siya. If not, sa shell/caltex/petron station na may mga bays puwede na ipagawa flushing. May coolant na din kasi sila.

a "toyota" brand was manufactured either by toyota, or sub-contracted to another manufacturer and packaged as toyota's. this assures the real and perceived benefits befitting the name.
toyota also "encourages" independent manufacturers to manufacture their own brands for toyota's replacement parts brands. these brands are in no way warrantied by toyota. they are usually cheaper than toyota brands. quality also varies. but word of mouth usually knows which to avoid, and which are ok..

when looking for replacement parts, imo its bettter to look for "made in japan" oem.

ano ba mas maganda aisin o gmb?

OT: meron din pala peke na GATES timing belt, kaya nakuha ko tuloy SUN made in japan. nagtaka kasi ako sa pricing, binulungan ako nung nagtitinda na in house mekaniko nila peke daw kaya ganun presyo.

sa Toyorama din ako bumili nuon (2004) nung nag overhaul ako ng toyota ee100 ko. ok naman bumili dyan basta tanungin mo sila kung ano mga pwede mo pagpilian at kung alin ang pinaka ok na tatak (expect mo na pinaka mahal din yun) at kung alin ang pwede na pagtyagaan (syempre mas mura yun). Tuturuan ka naman nila kung alin ang sulit sa budget. Kahit naman kasi original pa yan, nasisira din yan. Kung madalas naman talaga palitan yung part tulad ng spark plug or yung langis or oil filter o air filter o fuel filter kunwari then bakit ka pa bibili ng sobrang mahal eh mayat maya naman ang schedule ng palit. Ngayon kung major part yan tulad ng timing belt or yung part na yun ay tipong mahirap kalasin tulad ng piston ring then or kapag yung part na yun ay magdamay ng mas malaking sira sa makina then by all means bilin mo talaga yung the best. Kung kaya naman ng budget then lahat orig kunin mo. Kagandahan kay toyorama kumpleto sya at parehon orig at replacement part meron sya kaya makakapamili ka. Hindi ka nila lolokohin dahil sila din ang masisira. Mahirap lang bumili dyan kasi ang dami palagi customer.

bro, not necessary di tatagal ang taiwan or china made basta nasa within specs ng japan OEM. example I'm sure yan kotse mo may iilan china made or taiwan parts pero tumagal naman ito. ang importante lang ay dapat pasado sa specs ng car manufacturers.
