May sumulat sa Motoring Show sa Channel 5 about his Tamaraw na ni-replace nya ng engine from 2C (tama ba) to 7K.
Kapag malamig daw may tak-taka-tak na sound at pag tumagal at maiinit na ang makina nawawa la din... sagot nila may kinalaman daw sa valves...

ganito rin ang sa akin (revo sr) 2 years pa lang...
anybody encountered similar to this?
ano ba pwedeng gawin...ipaayos sa casa?

[Paul]

ganun din yung samin! sa valves ba yun? also, there's a cracking sound everytime pag start. sa cranking pa lang ng engine. pero pag umandar na, wala na. i'm thinking baka kailangan na ng change oil. tagal na din kasi e.

[benny010]

nawawala kapag na-change oil...pero after 2-3 days bumabalik...

[Paul]

bulok talaga revo! also i think revos in general has an electrical problem sa mga rear stop lamps. yung samin, double contact bulbs only lasts mga three weeks, then busted na naman. nabibiwisit na nga ko e. di ko na lang binilhan ulit after how many times ko nang bumili. i also see lots of revos na ang plates are like WGA or WTN, which means that la pang 2 years ang kotse, with similar problems. i think i saw one nga na X-plated na, busted na din isang stop lamp.

feeling ko yang revo, galing sa mga tira-tirang parts lang ng mga ibang toyota models e. pero i respects toyota. magaling ang engineering nila. dito lang sila sumablay. di naman kasi global product to e, actually for south-east asain nga lang e. siguro kaya medyo nagsacrifice ang quality. and they try to hide its deficiencies by making it look like a land cruiser and slapping leather seats, vcd player and lcd screen for long-distance cruising daw! spend an hour at revo's second row seat, magkaka-cramps ka nga e!

Paul,

selling cars is 10% engineering, 90% marketing! :mrgreen:

[Paul]

pero knowing toyota, more on engineering excellence sila e! other toyota vehicles are almost bulletproof. land cruiser, prado, camry, corona, even corolla always exceed owners expectations.

10% engineering, 90%marketing is mitsubishi! grabe mitsus sa philippines! ayoko na ng mitsu after driving one for 5 years! dami kong pinaayos dun!

[revo2]

sa tingin ko lemon car yan. revo ko 1999 GLX. walang problem hanggang ngayon.

[Paul]

what i said was based on observation naman e. i didn't just picked out words and made a statement out of it. good for you guys your revos are good and without a hitch. i'm just sharing what i had experienced in ours coz ours is one of the earliest models pa.

[benny010]

ok na revo ko...
i just spray oil on pulleys...the noise disappeared...
i'm not sure kapag natuyo ang oil...baka bumalik ang ingay...
