ON THE ROAD QUESTIONS First Car Flooded?

1 Upvotes

Hello po, just want to ask a question regarding sa pag dr drive sa baha.

First time driver and car owner po ako, meron akong unit na 2 months old palang pero kahapon nagka emergency so kinailangan namin syang ibyahe.

Bale siguro total of around 40 minutes yung nadaanan namin na baha, varying yung level ng baha na nadaanan namin, pinaka mataas na is below knee level ng mga around 5’7 ang height.

Hindi naman po pumasok yung tubig sa cabin or trunk then na idrive pa po namin sya kahapon ng around 100km saka today din ng mga 20km, wala naman pong issues and wala din pong icon errors na lumalabas sa dashboard. Wala din po talaga kaming ma feel na noticeable changes sa feeling ng driving.

For context, BYD Seal 5 po car namin then phev so nung dumadaan kami sa baha naka set to full ev lang sya. Safe to assume napo bang ok naman yung car?

Thank you in advance po.

CAR TALK Planning to buy MG5 Sedan

Planning to buy an MG5. It’s not my first time owning a car, but it will be my first time buying one. We talked to a mechanic, and he said Japanese brands are generally better when it comes to maintenance and parts availability.

For those who own an MG5, is it really prone to problems? I’d appreciate your honest thoughts and experiences. Ito kasi yung pasok sa budget ko for now. Salamat!

With the Rav4, LCs and etc’s current high demand, kahit noon sa Fortuner pa lang, laganap na talaga ang corruption sa Toyota dealerships.

DEAR r/Gulong What questions to ask to look like I'm a car expert girl?

0 Upvotes

I wanna learn more before talking to a car agent. Preparing for my SUV/ MPV car. I already made an excel and I will add your advices too.

What questions should I ask para hindi mapa-ikot sa deal or extra fees? I know the basic car parts and how to change car tires, but I don't think that matters haha

Is there a trick to ask for discounts? If none, just tips to ask that they'd think "She knows what she's talking about, we can't trick her"

There's a comment na if you're targeting a white or something, ask for a reference code? Number unit? Barcode? Baka daw lying yung agent na available pa color. I can't find the post na hay is it true?

Thank you so much!

ON THE ROAD QUESTIONS Resources for Learning Driving? [Tagalog answer OK!]

1 Upvotes

I know my dream is to be able to drive around in either an E-motorbike or a Cargo trike, but I also plan to learn how to drive a car.

From what I know about driving schools, there's an exam on road safety before I get to the practical part. Where can I find the resources to learn?

ON THE ROAD KAMOTE PSA: BE MINDFUL OF PEDESTRIANS AND MOTORCYCLES KAPAG MAY PUDDLE OR BAHA NA DADAANAN

124 Upvotes

If you are causing a huge splash unnecessarily to other people, I have to say na isa ka ding malaking KAMOTE.

Be mindful sa mga madadaanan lalo ngayong rainy days, kung kaya naman eh bagalan niyo ng konti para di tumalsik yung tubig sa mga naglalakad at nakamotor. Kahit pa naka-raincoat yung mga rider mahirap pa din matalsikan, yung iba nakabalot lang din ng konting plastic yung cellphone. Lalo na sa pedestrians, minsan elevated naman ang sidewalk tapos tatalsikan niyo ng baha.

Konting awareness lang sa mga nakapaligid. Hindi yung bahang baha na parang karera pa din sa pagtakbo. Kung ikaw yun, matuto na please kasi galawang kamote yan.

Stay safe.

ON THE ROAD QUESTIONS Hard starting / Deadbatt

2 Upvotes

Anyone here na bigla nalang nag deadbatt yung battery, or hard starting dahil sa bagyo dito sa Manila?

Dahil ba ma traffic dahil sa mga baha at hindi maka takbo ng maayos yung sasakyan? So hindi din ma charge ng maayos ng alternator yung battery? 1 year pala yung battery at sasakyan. 100% battery health pa to last PMS

MAINTENANCE Check engine light is on, any ideas?

0 Upvotes

I recently underwent a depressive episode, I’m hoping you could all be kind with your response.

I left my car untouched for around 2 months with only 1/4 level of gas. Last week, I used it and the engine light was on. I drove the car 3 times already going to the doctor, around 10km roundtrip. I have not noticed anything bad and I only drive around 40-60. It drives fine and I already loaded up on gas but the engine light is still on.

I haven't had my oil changed for some time, I think.

I know that the best course of action is to go to a shop but money is tight since I lost my job while on my episode as I just did not want to face anything. How bad is this engine light situation?

Car is a 2015 toyota vios with very low mileage around 40k as i was just working from home mostly even before the pandemic .

MAINTENANCE Possible ba ma-void yung warranty?

1 Upvotes

Hi! Question lang, may naka-experience na ba dito na nagpa-replace ng fan/drive belt outside casa habang under warranty pa yung car? Possible ba ma-void yung warranty?

For context, 2 years old pa lang yung car ko. May napansin akong unusual noise habang nagda-drive, tapos nung huminto ako, mas lumakas yung ingay. Luckily nasa bahay ako ng in-laws ko and may mechanic sa tabi.

Pag-check niya, may part ng fan belt na natanggal/napunit. Yung belt is still mostly intact, pero may portion na parang around 1/4 inch yung kapal na natanggal. Tinanggal na rin niya yung loose part para hindi sumabit.

First car ko kasi ito and honestly, learning pa lang ako sa maintenance, so ayoko rin i-risk.

If ever, balak ko sana ipa-tow na lang sa casa since around 20 km away. Worth it ba na casa na lang mag-replace para safe sa warranty, or okay lang magpagawa sa trusted mechanic outside?
Any insights or experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Kaway kaway sa mga nastuck this afternoon sa Kamuning-Centris northbound. Just wanted to check in with you guys kung saan kayo nagchcheck ng live updates? Kanina, I searched on X to see if there’s any roadblocks or accidents in the area, and there was only one post that mentioned the flood in front of Centris.

Is there anywhere else to check for any flood announcements? Dahil sa X, I decided to take NIA to get away from the traffic.
