One of my favorite vehicles. Try to find one with an EFI engine. Most of the brand new imports came with a carburetor. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a good mechanic who can properly tune a carburetor, and you might face difficulties in passing the emission test.

I feel really sorry for the people who bought this piece of crap. The government of SL should also be partly responsible for this by allowing all the crap to be imported. We still have a motor traffic act where most of the laws were drafted dung the colonial era. However, many countries have introduced stringent standards for both safety and quality aspects of the vehicle. Finally, from my experience, I never trust so-called reputed agents in Sri Lanka. There are plenty of examples of importing cheap crap through their subsidiaries and marketing them in SL by using their reputation. When problems start to immerge, they simply abandon their subsidiary and close down the agency.

If the engine is in good condition, use an oil with VW 505 000 standard. If the engine is in bad shape and requires a repair use whatever the oil that the previous owner used and after repairs or replacement stick to the manufacturer’s recommendation.

For your car, you have to use an oil with VW 505 000 standard, which will be a high end fully synthetic. Castrol EDGE 5W-30 meets this requirement. Else, liquid moly 5W-40 Molygen was previously available in the market but from what I heard agents (Semini Mortos) has an issue with their imports license. In my opinion, rather than going for an expensive oil first check with your service records and what type of oils previous owners have used on it. If the engine is in good condition, I would highly recommend you to stick to manufactures requirements. Because in the long run, it will be economical for you. Further, you do not have to stick for 7500km service interval if you are using the vehicle in moderate traffic conditions. With correct oil and filters + super diesel you can exdend the interval for 15000kms.

Lalana was a founding member Vishwa motors and he was trained at Carmart. For your requirements Sunway automotive will be a good option.

Yes it is Ni motors and Sanjeewa is a mechanic. Just do a FB search you will be able to get details.

There are no legally hornets in the market. So if you are to register a one it should be through illegal means.

Replace your water pump as well. Earlier senok had an offer for the water pump where they repurchase the used pump and send it company for refurbishment .Else, Ni motors in panchikawatte will have the genuine part and Sanjeewa is good for the installation.

92 will be perfectly ok. But considering the quality of fuel we get in SL 95 octane will at least contain 92.

Try searching for a used one. When installing a used rack it is important to perform proper learning sequence through a capable scanner.

One of the most overpriced and under performing bikes available in the market.

You can find the answer to your problem if you analyze the airline industry. Do wonder why airlines are disposing 20 year old aircrafts which are maintained to the book.

It depends on your driving style. However, it should do around 9 to 11 in traffic conditions.

Your car doesn't have have ABS. It is only equipped with Air bags.

One positive outcome of this new tax scheme will be that we will not see any new threads asking " What to buy ? Toyota Corolla or Audi A4"

You are absolutely correct. Some times I have received quotations from them which are significantly expensive than Senok. In many occasions they use counterfeit chinese spares at the price of genuine parts. Better to avoid them. Earlier they provided a good service but with the recent boom in VW vehicles there service has deteriorated and Lalana was one of the genuine technicians.

It seems like our local engineers have ruined your engine. All the systems that you have removed is there to prevent black smoke specially the EGR. Now your engine is running in a different state and false information is fed into the ECU.

I once called them and they were clueless about a minor Jaguar problem. There was a guy near Paliyagoda who is specialized in JLR.

Yes it is normal . The average lifespan of Viva elite battery is around 1.5 to 2 years.

Last time when I visited UNIMO repairs were handled by apprentices without any supervision and they are clueless of what they are doing. Unfortunately, this the common practice at most of the agents.

Where are you located?

If its manufactured for US market tuner will usually skip two decimals.

What's wrong with Mitsubishi these days. Visibly it must have a high drag coefficient, especially with those inverted lights.

Try buying a used Japanese one. Far better than the cheap Chinese crap sold in the market.
