Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

Question
Iroshw
Hi,
I have a doubt whether the problem is with the entire fuel pump or with the fuel filter or the fuel pressure regulator.
It is 2005 Picanto (Kia) with 160k millage.
Not changed the fuel filter for nearly 4 years (80,000km). The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank which is under the rear seat.
Recently occurred this problem, after driving 20-30km the car starts losing power, knocking and misfiring, hard to pick up. Due to the fuel quality, I cleaned the fuel pump by myself. Noticed a lot of dirt in the filter and the regulator looks new (but I have not changed it during the last 4 years). After cleaning the car drove smoothly and fast but only for 20-30km, and started losing power, knocking and misfiring. I had to clean the entire fuel pump many times. And I notice the dirt (black color) coming out from the filter all the time. Used Liqui Moly Fuel System cleaner too but didn't work.
Note: Though the car gets slow acceleration after 20-30km with hard pickup, knocking and misfiring, idle is stable and no issues when starting the car. But when I put A/C on, the idle drop and leads to off the engine. Even with the stable idle not picking up in the 1st gear (this is manual) and hard.
Spare parts are expensive like hell, so one of my friends said the issue should be the Fuel regulator, but it is not available in Sri Lanka (checked almost everywhere in SL). Another friend said the issue is with the fuel filter as it has not been replaced for years, it's clogged and blocking the fuel system. A fuel filter is available for 6500LKR. Another said to replace the entire fuel pump (cost is 35k).
If anyone has a similar experience, please let me know what you did to fix this matter.
