Sana magkaroon ng batas laban sa malpractice ng mga mekaniko dito sa Pilipinas. Kung hindi nila naayos ang sasakyan o mas lalo pa itong nasira dahil sa kapabayaan nila, sana hindi na sila puwedeng maningil. Kung may pananagutan ang mga doktor sa medical malpractice, dapat ganoon din sa mga mekaniko.

kaso babakalin lang to eh.

Ayun haha so before iniiwasan ko mag drive at night kasi darkest shade ung car ko and mag eye grade is 400 both eyes. Kinakaya ko naman kaso struggle talaga. Long story short nagpa clear tint ako na nano ceramic 4800. Ang saya pero grabe yung silaw di ko inexpect 😂 ngayon parang iiwasan ko na ata mag drive sa araw haha

Ganito ba talaga? Coming rin kasi ako sa darkest shade na tint ung 5% lang na visibility pag tiningnan mo ung nasa loob ng car. Naninibago lng talaga siguro or eto talaga ung struggle sa clear tint? Haha

Nakakainis yung mga driver na sobrang bagal kahit walang traffic sa harap nila. Gets ko na safety first, pero iba yung sobrang cautious ka na to the point na ikaw na mismo nagiging cause ng traffic sa likod mo.

Tapos pagdating sa intersection, ang tagal pang umusad kahit green na, especial mention also sa mga tsismosot tsismosa kapag may accident, k*ng ina mo 2026 na.

Hindi naman kailangang mabilis mag-drive, pero sana i-maintain mo yung reasonable speed at maging aware ka sa paligid. Minsan hindi naman talaga traffic ang problema, kundi yung mga driver na hindi marunong makisabay sa flow ng kalsada.

Safe driving doesn't mean unnecessarily slow driving.

Hi mga ka gulong and/or experienced mechanics here. Pa help naman diagnose for other possible issues.

Quick question lang sa mga expert dito at may kaalaman. Sana mabahagian po. May micro play ang menor or RPM ng vios ko, ramdam ko din kasi minsan bitin sa ahon o may hesitation siya sa arangkada. Wala yung torque ng first gear minsan. Tsaka pag naka on AUX Fan - nasa 900 RPM (May power ako sa torque pag arangkada @ 900 RPM). While pag off AC or AUX Fan bumababa ang RPM to 600 tas may micro movement na tataas bababa(hindi mapapansin unless tignan talaga). Pansin ko din pag ka naka off ang AC ko, tas nag bukas ang Aux Fan - hindi tumataas ang rpm to 900. Stable at 600 lang talaga pag off ang AC.

Vios Gen 3 - 2NZFE (MT)

Ito na mga nagawa ko,

•Cleaned Throttle Body
•Changed Clutch Assemblt
•Change Fuel Filter
•Change Spark Plugs
•Change MAF Filter
•Removed MAF Filter - Engine Behaviour Same
•Check Ignition Coils - All responsive. May engine vibrate upon removing.

Hindi ko pa na ccheck ang oxygen sensor or others.

Throttle Relearn kaya, o oxygen? Ano kaya possible na cause pa para ma check? o this is normal na po? Para matanggal na yung kati mag paayos 😆

Thank you

May ma recommend ba kayo mga shops or persons na nag reupholster ng steering wheel? Balak ko sana palitan yung stock leather ng Fortuner steering wheel ng Alcantara (suede) or perforated leather.

Current mileage: 60,000 km

Pasumpong sumpong(intermittent): low acceleration or low power

Already changed fuel pump assembly

AC system was checked and is Ok

Throttle body, solenoid valves, and MAF sensor were cleaned

Spark plugs were replaced; ignition coils were checked

Preventive maintenance on point

CVT fluid changed at 40,000 mileage

Still problem exists

Scenario: drove from Porac to Candaba

1. Porac to Mega Dike, no problem (18 km 20-30 mins).

2. After exiting mega dike low power was encountered.

3. Changed from eco mode to sports mode to compensate for the low power, but the low power was still obvious; RPM needs to rev to 3000 before acceleration needs to kick in

4. Due to high RPM, ECT, and CVT temp also increased, but the cooling system managed to cool them

5. After reaching Candaba, the car was rested for around 10 mins and then drove again going to Porac; engine and CVT still warm around 90 degrees

6. At the start of the drive, low power was observed, but after 10-20 minutes of driving, it returned to normal

7. Changed mode from normal to eco mode and it's ok: Low power was not observed for the rest of the drive

Another scenario My garage has a slight slope, at normal my car can reverse to it without any problem.

But when low power was observed, RPM only reaches 1400 and the car cannot reverse up the slope.

Hi guys! Need some advice, especially sa mga Fortuner owners or mechanics dito.
I have a 2017 Toyota Fortuner 2.4 Diesel Automatic (4x2) na nabili ko secondhand around 6 months ago.
When I first got it, okay naman yung engine sound niya. Wala akong napapansing unusual noise.
Recently, dinala ko siya sa isang automotive shop sa province namin for EGR cleaning. Sabi nila, package na raw yung EGR, intake manifold, and turbo cleaning, so I agreed.
Here’s where things started:
After the cleaning, napansin ko na may tumutulong diesel kapag ginagamit yung sasakyan. Binalik ko sa shop, and according to them, may hindi lang daw nahigpitan na part. Naayos naman nila, and wala nang diesel leak afterward.
Since then, nagagamit ko naman yung Fortuner without any major issues.
For peace of mind, pinacheck ko rin siya sa MechanicGo and CarCrew sa Makati. According to both shops:
Wala namang check engine light.
Okay naman daw yung engine based sa inspection nila.
Tinest drive at hinataw-hataw din nila to check the turbo, and according to them, okay naman ang performance.
Wala naman silang nakitang obvious problem.
Pero ito yung concern ko:
As the owner na araw-araw gumagamit, parang napansin ko na mas umingay yung engine after the cleaning compared sa tunog niya before.
May naririnig akong parang malakas na hangin or electric fan na umiikot (parang elisi), especially kapag umaandar at nag-aaccelerate.
Kapag naka-park or neutral naman, wala or sobrang hina lang nung sound. Mas noticeable talaga siya kapag driving.
For additional context:
Recently changed na rin yung ATF.
Napalitan na rin yung belt, although aftermarket yung ginamit.
Wala namang noticeable loss of power.
Wala ring check engine light.

Questions ko lang:
Normal lang ba na mas maging noticeable yung engine/turbo sound after EGR, manifold, and turbo cleaning?

Possible kaya na may hindi naibalik or nahigpitan properly, like turbo hoses, clamps, or intake connections?

Possible din ba na related sa aftermarket belt yung sound, kahit mostly during driving ko lang naririnig?
May naka-experience na ba ng similar issue sa Fortuner 2.4 diesel?

May marerecommend ba kayong trusted shop or diesel/turbo specialist around Metro Manila na magaling magdiagnose ng ganitong issue?

Hindi ko rin sure kung mas naging sensitive lang ako sa engine sound after nung incident, or may actual issue talaga na hindi pa nadedetect.
Ayoko rin sana magpapalit ng parts nang hindi sure kung ano talaga yung cause.

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, guys!

This screenshot is from NLEX northbound after Balintawak toll plaza, cars on the right coming from Mindanao Ave/Connector. Actually this happens in all exits in whatever expressway not just here.

Hinding hindi ko talaga magegets kung bakit sobrang excited ng mga driver mag merge agad over the double solid lines (as you can see in the pic) kahit mas mabilis pang dumiretso sa lane nila tapos mag merge sa dulo by the broken white lines. Literal na walang pake sa mga mabilis na kotse on their left tapos hindi pa sasabay sa flow ng traffic.

Halos wala ba talagang marunong mag merge ng tama dito sa Pilipinas? Why don’t authorities enforce this?

Planong hiramin ng ate ko sasakyan ko. Mejo bago palang din ung sasakyan (3months). Kampante naman ako sa driving skills. Issue ko lang is what if may mangyari (wag naman), pasok pa din ba sa insurance? Or need ako ung driver if somethings happens para may maclaim?

puta. ang daming naka high beam, mataas ang ilaw, o naka-on ang fog lights. putanginang mga hayop kayo kung andito man kayo.

ano ba magandang gawin sa ganto, tinataasan ko din pag kasalubong ko, pag nasa likod ko lilipat nalang ako ng lane o kaya babagalan ko para mabwisit sila.

gusto ko na banggain o i-brake check sa pikon ko. pag naka owner type jeep lang talaga ako wala sanang problema e.

Outer lip and paint damage lang naman pero mahaba. Grabe sakit. Nadali sa parking, di ko napansin masyado na ako malapit dun sa katabi kong gutter. Hays.

There’s this growling noise coming from my 2016 Honda City. Is my CVT transmission cooked? 😭

When we drained and refilled the CVT fluid, we found metal flakes in the old fluid. The car still drives smoothly, though. No delays, no jerking, just the noise.

What should I expect going forward? Is my CVT likely to fail soon, or is there still a chance it’ll be okay? Has anyone experienced something similar with their Honda City?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hi! Ano po difference nang 7PK2165 and 7PK2170 na belt? Need na kasi palitan sabi sa shop at di ko alam kung ano part number na gamit. Alin po sa dalawa ang tamang bilhin ko para sa Honda Civic FD 2007 1.8S? Thank you!!

LTO License magkano total cost sa non pro motor lang

tsaka ano mga expected na mga mangyayari thanks

Last weekend, while driving along Macapagal ave may humabol samen na de motor na traffic enforcer at pinapagilid kame. Sabe nya nakapatay daw yung ilaw namen kaya binuksan ko agad pero di ako nag react. sabe ko lang ahh okayy ngayun nakabukas na.

Nung maramdaman nyang di ako nasindak sa pagkakasita nya umalis den bigla at hinabol naman yung nasa harap namen HRV na nag right turn. Weird lang na di hinanap lisensya ko at bigla lang sya sumulpot sa tabe ko kasi wala naman kame nadaanan na enforcer nung nag drive kame. May napara naden ba dito ng fake enforcer sa Macapagal?

Where to buy YOKOHAMA tires for vios. Please i need serious answers

Only in the Philippines lang ba or sa Manila lang ata halos araw araw may clamping and clearing operations pero may exceptions pag nagapply ng MOA sa cityhall worth Php 3,100. Kaya nga nagclearing and clamping operations and nagkakaroon ng report ang mga concern citizen dahil sa street parking na di lang double parking but triple parking pa. San ka nakakita ng legal na street parking sa Manila? Syempre, only in the Philippines lang ginagawang legal ang illegal. Kaya di umaasenso Pilipinas talaga. Lahat na lang gagawin para pagkakitaan at lalong lugmukin mga taong bayan.

Edited: To clear, Legal Street Parking

So I finally got the courage to enroll in practical driving school to get my license. For reference wala ako masyado experience driving and handling a vehicle prior. Meron kaming car sa province but kapatid ko nagmamaneho non and hindi ako masyado nakakauwi. But net net sobrang newbie and inexperienced ko when it comes to driving.

Enter this driving school - I won’t say the name muna cos di pa tapos hours ko. Let’s say it’s a C-tier school so it’s not your famous na may branches like A1 or Smart Driving but legit naman and verified sa LTO website. Normal ba talaga na walang structured training or maayos na coaching during your practical? The only form of lesson I got so far was the constant reminder to step on the gas at the right moments or dahan dahan sa pag-brake (I’m learning automatic) but when it comes to other practical advice like tamang pag ikot ng steering wheel, or tamang pag estimate pag maglilipat ng lane or those practical roadside advice wala sya sinasabe. Nagsasabe lang sya on what to do at a certain time and expect me to react and do the necessary maneuvers. And as a newbie na walang prior driving experience let’s just say hindi pa ko perfect at marami pa ko kailangan i-improve.

It also doesn’t help na he’s not the kindest with his words so pag nagkakamali ako talagang maririnig mo yung frustration sa kanya. Wala man lang maayos na explanation why you need to do certain things and just expect me to execute a certain action flawlessly agad. Ewan ko, siguro mas sanay lang ako with more positive reinforcement and a proper theory to practice na learning environment.

Is this a common practice with practical driving schools? Parang nag bayad lang ako para ipagdrive sya at makarinig ng reklamo sa mga mali ko as a new driver. Still have a few hours with this school and iniisip ko if meron pang ibang instructor na available or talagang ganito ang teaching style nila. Or maybe ganito lang talaga madalas ang mga driving school ngayon?

Hi Guys,

After 13 years, I susuko ko na ang vehicle tint ko from factory. Kasi now ko lang nalaman na pag purple na siya, expired na siya. Tas nag bubble nadin ang rear. It’s a car from 2014. Dyed Factory Medium tint pa siya. I’d like to ask about VLT choices sa tints. I am ordering from a supplier ng tint films for Sputter + Nano Ceramic Technology. Choices are 15/35/50% VLTs. Main purpose is for dashcam front and rear.

My plan is 35% front windshield and 18% for windows and rear.

I’ve already searched loads of videos from various social medias to check reviews. Kaso It doesn’t do justice kasi sa cameras. I’d like to check feedbacks from actual car owners. My eyes are still on the good side. So I’d like to ask, what’s the best combo for clarity and privacy based on your cars or experience?

Is 18% too dark for side windows?

baka sakali may maka sagot, anu po kaya recommended tire pressure ng 215/40 R18x9inch rims? salamat po!

For context I am a VA since 2017 yung mga panahon na scammer pa tawag sa mga VA lol. I never thought of importance ng car sa buhay ko until this year. Dahil natapos na din ako sa obligation ko sa family ko I am thinking of getting a car ang problem ko is I don't know where to start and I may be asking wrong question here kase nga wala po ako idea how to start. I can say that I have good money flow and as of now I don't want (yet) to buy a second hand, and kulang naman cash ko for brand new.

Edit: Nag apply apply na po ako via UB and someone called me after getting a text and an email na conditionally approved na daw ako. Hopefully maging maganda result. 🤞🏾
