    Any idea how this happened?

    Have you bought this recently? As Dee Jay said there's shouldn't be any noticeable gear changes in a CVT. And driving pedal to the metal doesn't give expected results , rather wears out your gear box faster if it hasn't already done so. You have to press the gas a bit and wait for it to build the momentum before pressing gas again. Depends on the car speed, rpm and engine load. Drive a similar car and see if it's any different. If no then change your driving pattern else you might have to see a mechanic. Former doesn't apply if you used the car for sometime and familiar with driving CVTs. (Toyota CVTs to be specific)

    That's correct.

    Couldn't recommend a specific place as most of them suggest replacing 121 compressors as soon as a 260 come in. I usually do my Ac repairs at Tharaka Auto AC at Battaramulla. There could be better places. Do a search in the forum.

    Don't change the compressor for now. If the compressor is still spinning then turning AC off would not make much of a difference. Depends on how they fixed the compressor. Note that original 260 compressor also permanently coupled to the engine. just that it's much more efficient and has less drag. If highway fuel economy is also low then there's an obvious problem.

    Hope yours is the 1500cc version. Avg fuel economy usually around 11 for Colombo running with normal congestion. Outstation would do 14-17 and bit more on highway. I have 14 as current average with some city running and outstation combined. 121 compressor might reduce fuel economy slightly at short distance running but if no other problems I think it's ok. And the low speed drag kinda thing is also normal. Try to do the tank to tank fuel economy calculation and see. You get the green eco light under 2000 rpm right?

    I heavy traffic I have seen it dropped to 7-8 kmpl and I'm a heavy footer. Normal city running it's around 10-11. How much have you run after tune up? I have seen fuel economy drops by almost 2kmpl after tune up. Usually comes back after running 100/200 kms.

    Apparently the the person who died in the Lancer crash lived near by (Malabe). Crashed Allion aka "FAKE TAXI" had a different breed of an owner.
  9. hrm
    Wasn't the front passenger who died?

    From Elak*r*. Saw the same thing in FB as well. Bitter reminder to buyers and also for those who post every crap on FB.

    How does steering lock mechanism work with those converted push start solutions (the cheaper way)? I think steering lock work together with immobilizer which is usually connected to key barrel where as in push start models steering automatically locks when a door opened after switching off.

    2016 Premio feels same to 2015 at driving department. Just go for the 6. So much car for money.
  13. hrm
    Is that a direct swap? Looks cool.
  14. hrm
    Yep. It has EPS.

    Some what common and necessary in Bangladesh where rickshaws tend to stop only after slightly hitting rear buffer in a traffic stop. This has gone to the next level though.
  16. hrm
    Exactly. Even for regular use this is a very decent car from every aspect. Newer one like many other new cars lost that character.
  17. hrm
    Nice stuff man. Love this one over the new Civic.

    He has sold his Axio and looking for a car for about a month. His justification was simply prices would not come down at least for a year or so and can't wait that much. Told him if he really want to spend 8M+ for a car let it be a SUV not another sedan which would be more or less same as his old car. Made an intervention through his reporting manager at office also but didn't work out
  19. hrm
    Apparently yes. One of friends bought a 2016 Premio for 8.2M despite being told how stupid that would be. However some of them have crossed 9M now.

    Bought front shocks (KYB Excel-G) from GS Auto Parts. Rs 14700 each for Allion 260.
  21. hrm
    Yeah. In your case it's better to stay put for a minute.
  22. hrm
    Me too. In my case I would wait until digital display shows 1 bar high. Engines with aluminium blocks usually come to working temperature fast.
  23. hrm
    Always better to give couple of seconds before driving off in the morning. Especially if you have inclines to climb just after leaving drive way. But I don't think it's necessary to wait all the way until car reach operating temp.
  24. hrm
    That's the problem . Also most of them are big headed and user groups are filled with brokers. Really hard to get an honest opinion.
  25. hrm
    I also had problem only on steep hills. Normal inclines never gave an issue.
