@mas-I didn't cleaned my old one..but I think that u can get a one from good motor spare parts shop

I bought a good condition recon one for 2500/= from negombo..I went there with my mechanic and before pay money I got a scan report to check the MAF sensor data..& did a test run..

@MAS now about 4 months.no errors...there is a special chemical for clean MAF sensors..because MAF sensor a very sensitive one it can damage very easily! whats your car model?

ha..ha..really!! happy to hear that

@hrm- in my case..my engine is 1000cc 4 cylinder vvti engine (2001 model)..i think may be your one is 3 cylinder 1000 cc engine..r u getting ang performance differences?

@gayanath..-ha..ha,, yes...thanks bro!!

hi guys!! im very sorry for the late reply ..but i think i have to share about my experience.. at last i decided to forget about that engine knocking sound & live with it(because i had no choice)!! but after few months check engine light came on when im travelling to jaffna..but no different with performance..but i noticed that fuel consumption is little bit higher than earlier..after returning the trip i went to meet my mechanic & got a scan report..and it says "FUEL LEAN"..then we decided to change the petrol filter ..after that check engine light gone off and that knocking sound also gone..i was very happy..but after few days suddenly came back that check engine light with that knocking rattling sound..after that we got a freeze frame data report & my mechanic analyzed it and decided to change the MAF(mass air flow sensor)...then we changed it and every thing became normal( actually better than early)engine sound became smooth..that knocking ratteling sound gone forever..fuel consumption became very low and car performance became noticeable change..

hatch back? sedan? wagon?

its common issue for 260 allion & premios..when u accelerate bit rough itz going to working again..most of the times itz because of a compressor problem(theres a valve )..may be you have to replace the compressor.or valve..if you had to replace the valve it will cost u around 15000/= if its compressor it will cost u around 100000/= (if its from toyota lanka 300000/=) but im suggesting you to replace the compressor with recon toyota 121 or 240 allion one.. (i had the same problem with my brothers 260 allion)

How about fuel consumption bro??

Did u checked the ecu readings of your MAF sensor (mass air flow sensor)?

@MAS whatz the BG product that u used?is it BG44K or BG 244(i think this one for diesel engines) did your problem got fixed or not?i think that your problem is as same as my one

hi guys..today morning i went to see my mechanic..he checked one piston head through spark plug whole and he said that there's very slightly carbon deposits on the piston. hes saying that there's a BG product that called "PISTON CARBON CLEANER" which is adding that chemical to the vacuum line of the throttle body or charcoal canister.ones he did this to the mitsubishi cedia and all carbon deposits came through silencer as a liquid..also hes saying that this method may be can harm to the lambda sensor. i called to the BG & wurth agent and asked that product.but they don't have any idea about piston cleaner like this. i checked the net.but i couldn't found a such a product like that.. now im going to do that process by using BG44k as Ruslan & MAS did and VVTI suggested..

thank u so much mr VVT-i & DON.. tomorrow ill going to try that Italian ..ha,,haa,,

my mechanic called me now. hes saying that hes predicting this is happening because of carbon deposits on pistons!!

no..engine acceleration sound is normal.. i have no idea about OCV thing.i think he didn't do that.ill ask him tomorrow & ill check that thanks bro.

yes! yes bro all mounts are ok.

thanks for the quick reply guys!!

hi guys.i have a toyota vitz(scp10) 1000cc YOM 2001..which has done 135000km on the clock (100% genuine) since last month when i accelerate the car (while driving only)something like engine knock sound("kata kata") something like rattle sound (but not a engine knock) coming from engine after few seconds its vanished.but no any difference with engine performance ..pickup or gear changing.last week i did a engine tuneup & sensors checked .but no luck with that too.my mechanic says he cant predict it tooo because car performance is very well...what should i have to check now?does any one had a similar problem like this??pls guys help me

wow!!good luck with your new car bro!!

i have a nissan vanette sinha moona 2007 (GL) one with ABS.but some DX models doesn't have abs

i too was in the same problem & finally bought a toyota vitz (2001)scp 10 model for 15.50k

zen vxi 2006

7 years a go i had a zen vxi model.i think its better than maruti 800 & alto(indian)because of its looks , 1100cc engine with 5 forward gear box,power shtters,& power steering.it has a good pulling power,i dont know about alto.but i f we compared to maruti 800.zen is economical than maruti 800.i dont konow about car market today.bt iin my case i bought my car for 10 lacks( in 2007)& sold it in 2010 for 11.50 very easyly

thank you very much for your ideas Schiffer & Uditha88..ive got 2006 vitz 1000cc vitz under 2.4 million yaa youre right bro..im not looking for old carina,& 110 s
