I have a Toyota Carina AT192(1995) car. It has run 130000km. When I'm running the car, some times it is blinking the check engine bulb. but it is not always coming on. when the bulb comes on, car is running slowly. once i checked with a garage. they scanned and said there is a problem with the oxygen sensor and instructed me to do a engine tune up. they said u might have to change the oxygen sensor then.
But I connected the TE1 and E1 in the diagnosis and check the check engine bulb. it is blinking normally as recommended.
and other problem is i need to put engine oil time to time. i think engine oil is burned more than normal condition. i informed this to the garage and they said you have to change the rings set first and then do the the engine tune up. they said without changing the rings set, no point of doing the engine tune up for that check engine problem. for this issue, my friend (mechanic) said just put new PCV valve first and check still this engine oil issue is there.
please give me the correct advise for this issue. because I'm confused with this different advises of different people.if i have to change the rings set and do the engine tune up with genuine parts, what will be the cost like? what is the suitable place to check this both issue?
I'm going to buy a car in SL for 2 mil while being in Germany. Then I'm going to put up a public raffle draw and pick one lucky winner to gift that car when I have 600 participants registered in the raffle draw. Registration fee for each participant is Rs. 5000/-
Why didnt I think of this before
So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD
My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
