    Better to contact Car sale if it has 2 year warranty. BTW, 1. What is the millage? 2. And do you feel same scenario during quick acceleration and gradual acceleration? I mean, check whether the "hiccup" is dependent on acceleration pattern or not. 3. What is your previous car?

    "Since last September" means almost one year. Therefore, definitely you should replace the oil. Please replace the oil (and filter also) with manufacture recommended oil grade (hope it's 0W20). No such requirement.

    At-least we know that there are corruptions, but in private sector no body knows the inside..... I have only one reason for going private - It's time constraint and waiting list. If they have time and no waiting list, then no doubt, they should go government hospital.

    0W-20 is not a winter specific oil. Its multi-grade. So, nothing special with 0W-20 and No special attention needed.
  5. gayanath
    No harm using 5W-30. With low viscosity of 20 grade, there will be slight increase of fuel efficiency. Why don't you follow manufacture recommendations?
  6. gayanath
    As I remember the grade is 0W-20

    Vibration

    gayanath replied to PDL's topic in General Automotive

    Did you replaced the battery recently? if yes, when?
  8. gayanath
    Then it seems general engine wear with this millage (sometimes millage may be bit higher than 230k if previous owners have tampered it). 15 * 14 = 210 1L for 200 km is bit higher consumption so you need an engine overhaul I suppose. BTW, Which grade oil you are using?
  9. gayanath
    Experienced this recently (I mean within 2 - 3 days) or is this developed gradually since few months?

    A comparison between locally available Octane 92 and 95. (The data is just those published on Ceypetco website and I did only a cut and paste job) Yellow - Same Property/Test for comparison Green - Same Specs ** Just for the info....

    Fully wearing of the brake pad is highly unlikely of a 2015 Aqua otherwise it has done at-least 150,000 km or severe issue in break system. Car millage? Usage under your ownership? Is it depend on the braking style? I mean, 1. any difference with sudden brake and gradual braking? 2. any noise when you release the brake?
  12. gayanath
    Hope you are living out of city limits....

    A made up story or a quality issue in particular lot ..... Nothing to deal with Octane number........
  14. gayanath
    The approach (politician approach.... ) of a person shows the quality of that person..... My friend.... do you need my CV? Can you give one or two examples? Note: I have no objection of doing cleaning if its truly required (may be after 150,000 or 200,000 km or if any related issue arises). But here in SL, service buggers recommending cleaning (so called tune-up) every 20k, 30k or 40k intervals (just like air filter replacement schedule ?) which is utter bullshit. others please, Sorry for going forward on different subject in different thread.
  15. gayanath
    Follow the basics.... Gain (or life threat) is higher than the risk of failure, then ............ it's do or die. but tune up is not...
  16. gayanath
    Another victim of so called engine tune up. Risk of failure is bigger than the gain.....
  17. gayanath
    Irrespective of the incident (whether its correct or not), the behavior of the person who representing so called A** M** shows the quality of the place. Thugs are better in customer care than him
  18. gayanath
    You buy it at 59000 km means you bought it very recently. Am I correct?
  19. gayanath
    Another evidence that, so called Tune-up's will not work for most of the cases in new cars even though several makabasses recommended. @ShaR, 1. What is the millage when you buy this car? 2. Is this jurk a new thing to you or was it existed since the first day you started using this car?
  20. gayanath
    Got it from my friend's car manual. I ll get it again and post here.
  21. gayanath
    Seems @Pradeepkumara and @Pradeep_k is same person. If the vibration relates to speed and its higher in 100 km/h, most probably you should start your investigation from wheel balance. (You may put new Tyre set by adding few more to 25k. ) Your engine (2007, 1KR-FE) already having iridium tipped spark plugs (otherwise someone has replaced before).
  22. gayanath
    According to manufacture, its first replacement is at 160,000 km in normal conditions or 80,000 km in severe conditions (subjected to duration of use). But there are lot of people in SL who knows better than the manufacture so they are recommending much less intervals like 40,000 km.

    Seems your "theoretically" means just two words "series and parallel". Otherwise, If you go through the construction of Toyota HSD or Honda DCT, you may note that, even theoretically it cannot be run without a battery. Motor is the main controlling part in GB so its nearly impossible to work with direct generator power rather than having a storage. Someone can suggest that, the system could be modified to run without a battery but buying a new car may cheaper than that. Note: Sometimes, Nissan eNote may modify (not sure) easier than Toyota HSD or Honda DCT's to run without a battery. Then it will run just like a locomotive
  24. gayanath
    No issue using 0W20 in SL. Irrespective of brand, use 0W20 for your car.
  25. gayanath
    Again.... This is same as your HV battery fire risk mater. Statements have no value as stats. Any risk assessment basically having two equally important parts which are Severity and Probability. For Severity, you may use statements, but probability needs stats.
