1 ---> Your point is valid as long as the other parts of the vehicle is also upgrade to the different engine other than manufacturer put. 2 ---> I never worry about a fuel consumption of a car I've never even driven in life...

"Whats The Best Engine For A Ford Escort" Simple answer is the factory fitted engine for that particular model. Bcoz it's the best engine that engineers decided to fit to it.

Remove lights & fix with "No-Leak" applied. [Can be bought from a hardware store]

So who ask to buy "badly maintained vios" & who buy? Jusk kidding

Not at All. It's unnecessarily over priced. If that the case, plz stick to what u currently have. It's rather better. And open a fixed Deposit.

If have money & kind of fed up now having the same car, better do an upgrade. Since u used to 1.5L car, & u in up country, I suggest you Vios Manual Trans.

which Premio?

Well, regarding "common problem for VVT", there might be a requirement for extra care when you have VVT engine than any other tech. That might be the fact that Mechanic tells. Anyone who has sound knowledge about VVT technology & how it works would add ideas here.

Isn't it just a matter of change oil ontime.

There are Japanese Built & North East Asia Built N16s. Jap build one mostly comes with Fabric Seats. Best way to check the Chassis No. Plate inside Engine bay. It'e mentioned "Made In Japan". Most of cars with the engine capacity is mentioned like "1490 cc" are Jap. made. 1.3L, Manual, Brand new imported cars, I hve no much idea. But if any user is here, he can check the Chassis plate & let us know. Market value of 1490 CC, Auto/ Manual Japanese made N16s are bit higher.

Same on fuel as I heard. Abt 10 km/L in city.

Tuneups & all done by January. So highly not related to the issue. Easiest thing to go to Dhamm*ka again & tell the story. He'll do a check up & let u knw the issue. This is because several things has to check like Air Flow, Fuel Pressure etc.

Nothing to do with IACV here. Some1 said IACV is not functioning & It's not needed? My God :-O

worth imho.

Manual or Auto?

I Suggest Toyota Corsa Diesel car.

Blocked drain hose ...

Buying Axio would better than 141 for you. U might buy 2007 Axio. (Pros: JDM, More fuel Econ., 2nd hand market, cons: Less options Eg. No RPM in X grade) Other Models: Mazda Axela, 2005 Allion, Civic FD(& Hybrid),

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do.

Just call him & ask. Most probably he'll do.... Also ask whether he does carb things. Highly recognized as "EFI Dhammika"
