Can any of you kindly advise and suggest a remediation to fix the hissing noise of the X-trail Hybrid version SUV taking place at the switch from EV to Engine mode? I have tried changing the CVT oil after well with in less than 16000Kms on the clock but still the problem persists. It comes up after driven for about 10-15 mins and does not come at all the time when the EV to engine switch over takes place. Every one says it is a gearbox failure noise but still the vehicle is running strong. i Have also updated the IOS version of the CVT controlling software with the help of Warranty extending party but still the noise is thee. When i quarried the agents and Warranty extending party about this issue, they keeps on pestering that it is normal for this model and most of the Hybrid SUVs including Outlander and Vezel. Is that true? Local Gear box fixing guys are also not providing a solid answer as every one wants to end this problem by making some one else. IS it actually a problem or some thing just to leave it without worrying? has anyone done any R& D on this?
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.

Hi All,
