My car is Nissan N16ex singapore imported model(Some are Say N17), Auto 1.6cc
Recently my car had an accident which was hit by another car to left back side. It was take more than one and half month to repair the car and , when i went to take the car after repairing the instrument panel gauges are not working. ( Those were OK after happening the accident) The ABS motor is continuously running with ABS light is ON.
The guy in the repair center disconnected the ABS motor fuse & Start the engine & go for a test ride. The ABS light was ON. They said there is a problem with ABS motor & have to replace it.
In the instrument panel no gauges were working Including ODO/TRIP meter & Clock.Only the lights are working. i.e. Air bag check/ Oil/ Battery/ signal etc. except Engine check light. It does not even switch on. Auto gear indicator lights are also not functioning One of the guy in the repair center open the cluster panel & check & found that one smoothing condenser is blasted. After that they have replaced it and there was no success.
ABS motor was also replaced and the continually running ABS motor problem was solved, But ABS option is not functioning. They said they need to replace Instrument cluster as well.
My questions are
1. Where can i find a instrument cluster for this model?. I have searched in many places and couldn't find this model.( 220 Kmph , auto indicator with digital clock)
2. Why the ABS option is not functioning even after replacing the unit.?
3. Can this be happen after a battery is connected with wrong polarity. My friend said that this can happen like that. I also have doubt after I have seen the blasted condenser in the instrument panel.
4. Does this damage some part of the ECU of the car?
Pls help me on this. Pls tell me is there is any place to repair this. I am in Kandy.
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.
