    More important is the need for qualified experienced service personnel for your car.Ah CVT ATF juice is light green. Cheers, TT.
  2. Twin Turbo
    Welcome, You have a cvt autobox. what is the milage of your car? The dealers should stock the fluid. - Don't put regular atf in your car TT.
  3. Twin Turbo
    You are already seeing the benefits of a better lubrication at work. Will give you the differance between your engine starting to burn oil @ a low milage and a long service life. Cheers! TT.

    Get a compression leak test done on the cooling system.possible gasket failiure due to the affore mentioned overheating..And replace the rad cap for good measure.

    What is the gear box in your van? (man/auto)
  6. Twin Turbo
    You have answerd most of your questions. the brand is not highly sourt after here.
  7. Twin Turbo
    For best results,do Both.and check the operating temp with the dash meter at half on the coolant top hose inC'. As the dash meter might be inaccurate.
  8. Twin Turbo
    Check radiator cooling fan. the fan-clutch may need replacing. Has the original factory fitted condensor been removed? The thermostat valve is at the lower rad hose.+ Check the radiator cap. TT.

    Local tune down. There\'s a miscoception in our tecs that an ultra slow idle saves fuel. Check and adjust idle speed with A/c on.
  10. Twin Turbo
    I've been driving one since 2016. TT.
  11. Twin Turbo
    Maybe a grease momkey tried to tune it and reduced the idle to 350 rpm from the 850rpm recomended for auto box equiped cars. Replace the air filter , check HT leads, replace sp plugs,check ign timimg, clean throttle body,check fuel filter.

    The cvt at this age will be looking at a laid back retirement or will be on life support. there will be minor changes between the two transmissions and their associated wiring+control units. The fact remains that CVT gearboxeas suffer higher rates of failiure when compared to conventional auto boxes. Dont mis understand.I 'm not trying to paint a picture of a Serina here,.The T30 is a good car, just don't get one abused and driven into the ground.
  13. Twin Turbo
    At that price range , you'll be getting a used car brought here,used moree and possibly abused, and at best will need a lot of work .So keep a sizesable ammount to get all the faults+neglected maintenance done before using it. Good luck. TT.
  14. Twin Turbo
    It's a good car, but must be maintained properly. The auto box is a CVT.
  15. Twin Turbo
    check the tyre pressure.
  16. Twin Turbo
    Engine idling too slow?
  17. Twin Turbo
    Running the a/c electrically will kill the charge quickly. not quite what the doc orderd for our climate.
  18. Twin Turbo
    The two cars are poles apart
  19. Twin Turbo
    Change your fuel station ,
  20. Twin Turbo
    How's the rad cap? was a compression leak test done?
  21. Twin Turbo
    Agree with Davy. That's how they give work for auto electritians. by killing alternators. Water and electricity made a bad-combination.... I have never had a prob by keeping my engine bay a little dusty. So keep the high pressure water away, enjoy trouble free motoring. !
  22. Twin Turbo
    Short answer to your long question- yes. but rest assured all replacements and cleanups are good for an engine to run efficiently. have you checked the ATF (taking into account your milage) Cheers,.. TT.
  23. Twin Turbo
    Good, your o/d is on,..ride to the sun set without fear!
  24. Twin Turbo
    You can use a thicker oil but , not recomended for you, and don't get caught on to cunning grease molnkeys who will advise you to overhaul the engine. - the idea being getting the most of what you have for the longest. Cheers, !
  25. Twin Turbo
    It's either leaking, or burning -or both. An elevan year old car with un confirmed milage,.. well that says it all, I'd go to say 'if it ain't broken,don't fix it.' Just keep a check of your oil level and drive like normal.
