  1. hi, Better to go for the Chinese one. I am having other one which gave me trouble within 6 months although I am not a frequent washer. However the agent repaired it as it was guarantee period. It has a soap attachment but to be fixed to a outside bucket to carry around the car. Good luck
  2. I also hate cheap Indian scrap, as people in the forum majority in for Japanese vehicles. If you need further explanation ask from a guy who drives a Maruti
  3. Hi, I am not aware of this technology can anyone give me more details. Thanks

    Nissan Vanette

    I had a fleet of 4 vanettes(VUJC22) and 1 townace (CR27) Vannette- High engine life more than 350,000km - high fuel efficiency around 14km/l - Aulternator tend to burn, replace with higher capacity aulternator ( I replaced with Serena ones) - Some vehicles overheating occurs, add additional raw to the radiator. - Fornt suspention is two leaf springs, keep an eye on the centre bolt if ya run the vehicle with broken bolt leafs tend to break. - not comfortable than townace - 59 vehicle you can find around 1 million Townace- Original engine runs around 200,000km max. After replacing with Polgasovita selleves will run around 250,000km again. - fuel efficiency around 11km/1 - No design problems but front suspention & engine seems to be noisier than Vanettes. - Bigger vehicle than vanettes - 59 vehicle will be 1.2 million
  5. I had a simillar issue few months back. When I went to radiator guy he said, the core is Alumenium & he can not weld Copper to Alumenium. Only option was replacing a new one & cost me 19k (CT210 Diesel auto).
  6. Dude, YOM 2000 means it is a brand new car. Here in SL Reconditioned vehicles are performing better than brand new ones (I meant Japan used vehicles). The resale value is also high for recon vehicles ( so I think YOM97 is better than this). Also this has another negative point of manual transmission ( decrease in price Rs 100,000/= to 50,000/=) . http://www.autolanka.com/ad.asp?ID=20992 is reasonably priced I think. YOM 2000 car shall go below that price!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Dear mate, You have selected wrong tyre sizes. Ones applied to the following tyre size calculator, http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp The result was 7.55% tyre size increase with 8.161% speedometer reduction. Changing tyre sizes are acceptable but you can not increase the tire diameter. This will create lower breaking efficiency, lower speedometer (& odometer) reading. Probably the gap between tyre & vehicle become lower hitting the tyres against vehicle when going through humps irregularities in the road. So using these oversize tyres are not acceptable. Newer thrust Sri Lankan seller's words, always ask some professional or just type the question in google and search.
  8. Yes no need of fushing. but if u are too much worried about it, you can do the flush with the fully synthetic oil that you are going to introduce. Also remember that oil changing interval should be according to the engine manufactureres recommendation not the oil manufactureres recommendation. (ie 3000km for most vehicles).
  9. For most of the Japanese vehicles radiator fan works in Slow mode & Fast modes. This is achieved by wiring two fans in series (slow mode) and parallel (fast mode). When the A/C is on fans work continuously in slow mode. When the car is heated fan works in fast mode. After cooling it become to slow mode if the A/C is on or fan switches off if A/C is off. So check your car is working simillar to that. Good luck
  10. GT tyres are better they give lowest cost per km. I use them over a decade with several vehicles of mine. But they are harder than Japanese.
  11. Speed lock better than brake lock. I already have breake lock. After taking car out of the guarage for family members to get is I apply the brake so, I have to unlock again.
  12. Your engine repair may be because of it is worn out. But, I was using it from 1998 (that time it was E- oil) with several vehicles of mine time to time. I am surprised to hear that you can test material by smelling. Anyway, I do not worry about the contents as it gives me the required performance. But I have one worry, I heared "Acetone" is giving performance like same. Since it is carceogenic and harmfull to environment I am not willing to use it. So if any one has capacity to test Soltron against Acetone please inform the result.
  13. I have never used on petrol vehicles. But, manufacturer recommends for petrols.

    Toyota Premio

    Yes you are correct but waiting for 10 seconds is a problem some times. but i purposely delay switching off after sudden acceleration. Regarding acceleration, I was unable to find the same model who gives me to drive.
  15. Hi, I use Soltron over a decade on my diesel vehicles. It gives more power & comparatively around 10% increase in fuel efficiency. but I use 1.5ml for 1 liter of diesel which is 50% higher than manufacturer recommendation. Further, because of it I never get water contamination problems in Injector pumps.

    Toyota Premio

    I own a premio; Still I did not do a repair so facts I am not aware of. My unit contains a Turbo timer so it turns off after 10 seconds as I adjusted, without the timer the turbo shaft failures occur. The advantage is it gives big power when required. Compared to petrol vehicles the pick up is much more faster which is not expected from a diesel.
  17. It means engine oil contaminated with water. This kind of thing can happen in case of 1. Radiator system leak ( including head gasket engine block crack etc) 2. Prolonged exposure to air. ie, car has not been used for couple of months or oil has not been changed 4 years. It is not advisable to buy it.
  18. O.K If you are so worried about glass wool use Poly ehyline insulation(PE) they are mfg by Mc Foam. But sound absorbing properties are a bit lower than glass wool. But, If we consider under the bonnet lining its glass wool, insulation partning engine to cabin room from inside the cabin is also glass wool, central airconditioning systems (in large buildings) ducts are insulated by glass wool and return air path is in constant touch with glass wool.
  19. Hi, as I understood you are requesting sound absorbing material. Glass wool is a good sound absorber the cost will be less than Rs 100/= per square meter for 25mm thick material they are availble at hardware item sellers in Old Moor street (off Armour street).
  20. I think doing these things will not solve your problem. Running an engine even 1 min with oil bulb on will damage your engine bearing there will be few reasons other than sludge for this problem. 1. Oil pump performance low. 2. Bearing clearances are excessively high such that, oil escapes easily when get thinned. (ie. when get hot) 3. Oil pressurising circuit problem 1. Poor filter 11. Relief valve leaking etc. So I propose to disassemble the engine and check what the actual reason is, those miracle fluids promising to give you everything will not give a permenant solution.
  21. I cheched these vaccume lines againt another vehicle of same model, no interchanging found. Also no change when opening and closing of the vaccume lines. Since the vehicle wiring is tampered in several places by early users I do not think vehicle diagnostics will give a good picture. Yes you are correct about the 3 points that you were pointed out.
  22. I have bad previous experience on them. Thought of newer going back.
  23. I went to several places, but no one could repair it. Can u please tell me the person who made it.
  24. Toyota premio or Carina would be better than a sunny.. : :action-smiley-060: And also a alto or maruti will be good but they are small
